Dear Anna,
Ask Anna
My fiancée thinks the cake smash is a fun surprise, but I think it is definitely a no. What should I do? - Frosting-Free Face in Ohio
Dear Frosting-Free, A cake smash can be cute for a one-year-old birthday party, but cake on your dress, in your hair, and on your face could make your wedding day memorable for the wrong reasons. Be firm for the wedding day, but can you have a cake smash at home with a real cake for the two of you? For more shenanigans, add in an adult beverage and clean up with a bubble bath. Now that sounds like a sweet surprise!

Dear Anna, I've always dreamed about the perfect beach wedding, but what happens if it rains on my wedding day? - Weather Worried in Indiana Dear Weather Worried, I'm a big believer in if you bring an umbrella with you it won't rain. What I mean by that is if you have a weather backup plan, you will have more time to dedicate to the joy of planning your wedding and less time stressing out to the Weather Channel. Your coordinator can suggest a backup site, or your reception venue might have a space for your ceremony in the case of inclement weather. If it is a small wedding and a passing storm, wait fifteen minutes, and the rain will likely pass. You can also choose to embrace the raindrops while protected by a clear umbrella that also makes for a great photo op!
XO Love, Anna 76
