Wow, theknot.com certainly has a lot of information doesn't it? Kinda blows the mind!
I don't know...a few of the things I'm struggling with are just etiquette issues...for example, if I want to have an engagement party/bridal shower, do I just have to hope that someone will throw one for me or do I ask someone? Or do I throw one for myself?
Also, do people in the wedding party pay for their own outfits and then you just get them gifts, or are you supposed to pay for the outfits?
Another thing I'm struggling with is whether to include my Dad's soon to be wife's children in the ceremony. They are nice kids...her daughter is 3 years younger than me and her son is only 1 year younger so I figured she could be a bridesmaid and him a groomsman...but I'm not sure about that either. It would be a nice way to include them and by the time we get married I will have been their step-sister (or whatever) for more than a year...but maybe they'd find it weird.
Ok, that actually seemed like a lot of questions (sorry!).
