I'm planning seating for my reception, but a few of my guests can't be seated together. We have 12 seats per (long) table - is it acceptable to seat these guests at the same table, far apart? I don't like catering for their disagreements, but I don't want a fight -even a small one - at my wedding.

Hi, I have two questions in one. First of all, when cutting the cake, are we supposed to cut the top tier or the bottom tier? Secondly, which leg should the garter go on?

We will have 3 bridesmaids and 4 groomsmen. Particularly for the first dance, usually bridal party take their partners and join bride and groom on the dancefloor but we have an uneven number so they can't join together as couples....

I'm wanting a Chinese tea ceremony in the morning, ceremony in the afternoon & reception in the evening. What's a good guide for lengths of time for these events?

My best friend asked me to be her bridesmaid over 12 months ago. I just found out I am pregnant with baby #2 and will be roughly 7 months along for the big day. I am nervous about telling her because I don't want her to feel like I've ruined her day. She's had a few things happen recently which haven't been what she's planned for her big day, so I've held off telling her until 'the time is right'. Should I trust she'll be happy with my news or have I put another link in her day?

I want to have my wedding published and to maximise my chances I was wondering what are some must-have wedding shots that we need to have taken on the day.

We're having a cocktail reception that is shorter than most receptions so there's only about 1 hour for "dancing and mingling" We're tossing up if a band is worth the cost if they are background music most of the evening.
