8 Questions You Should Avoid Asking A Bride-To-Be
Corinne Foote

As my second sister's wedding is approaching next week, I have heard some funny questions coming from guests. The wedding being a "destination wedding" it allows for numerous thoughts a week before the big day. At least we can get a laugh from them. For the guest's sake, most people don't have a wedding outdoors on top of a mountain in Colorado during the peak winter season!

Where do you think I should stay after the wedding?

Hmm... maybe a hotel? Maybe your house if you're close enough? I'm not a travel agent.

What would you like as a wedding gift?

Newlyweds, just like college students really just want money. It even makes it easier for traveling purposes!

So what's the weather going to be like?

Insert meme here *Wouldn't you like to know weather boy?*.

Unless the bride or groom is a meteorologist, I don't think they can predict the weather, not even for their own wedding day.

So has *Groom's Name* seen your dress yet?!

Um...No... That's the whole point.

Would it be okay if I brought my son/daughter along? Their previous commitment got cancelled!

There are RSVPs months in advance for a reason...

Do you have exact directions to the wedding location?

Well, I already provided them on the wedding website and through multiple emails. The address is also on the invitation, but if you really need me to mail you exact coordinates, I can find time in my day to do that as well!

*Wedding Day* What time does the wedding start again?

This was on the invitation, wedding website and in the emails as well. I have many more things to worry about on my wedding day.

Could I sit next to *friend's name* at dinner? Is changing the table arrangements possible this late?

This was all prearranged months ago with the RSVP's. Please don't try and change it, there are table arrangements for a reason!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
