I'm writing my wedding vows. Is it formal to let the bride to be see them before the wedding? Are we supposed to compare each others first?

Hey everyone. I've started attending a new church about a month ago. There is a cute girl there that I know is single and I've heard she is looking for a guy as well. Being the new guy there, what would be the best way for me to get to ask her out on a date without it being awkward?

my wife left in july, as i was pressuring her to take more responsibility as a mother and wife, and she couldn't deal with it. (there was a good amount of negligence). She took our son and her daughter and i didn't hear from her for three weeks until she received the divorce papers i filed.

i decided to have the divorce action dismissed,but she felt she needed time to get herself a job and get herself together, so she moved to her father's, 60 miles from our home. then she started getting really s--tty whenever i'd try to arrange time with my son (she acted as if she OWNED him), so i filed a custody/visitation action and the next time i got him, she didn't see him again until after the hearing, about a month. (he's two)

Surprising she's acting like she's got some sense now, and we have even discussed reconciling. I moved out of our old place two mos ago, 30 miles further. She has our son...

Getting married in Dec. Have been married before and he hasn't. I have a 13 y/o son whom we included in the announcement and will live with us. Here are my ?'s.
His family is having a shower for us in his hometown. (I know noone there). Is there anything I need to do? Should we have favors? I just feel a little weird showing up and not doing anything.
We will exchange vows in a small chapel with our parents and my son. What is proper for me to wear? He will be wearing a suit. I would like to wear some type of wedding dress but not the white, long, frilly type. Color?
I would like to have a "reception" type party with our friends at a later time. Could we do a wedding cake at that time? Favors? Is it even ok for us to do this? I feel weird about registering being that I have been married before. His family wanted us to do this so I did. I wasn't sure what to register for, I was married for a long time, he's been single and I feel we have what we will need to make a home

I just broke up with my boyfriend... mainly because he ignored me and made excuses not to call me...and when I broke up with him he really didnt care. I don't know why but I want him back and I wish I hadn't of broken up with him but I don't know why I would want him back. He is a skater and he cares more about skating then me. I really love him and want him back but should I get back together with him or forget about him?

Hi everyone, please help me, tell me what you think:

I was with my ex for almost a year and he broke up with me, lied to me, then mistreated me and I finally found out he had someone else..

I was feeling bad for so long and desperate for love. Not desperate for a boyfriend but for falling in love again and getting over my ex.

my ex was the hottest guy I've ever seen , he was also the man of my dreams, only problem: he was a jerk and a**hole


so I found this other guy online and hit on him (something I rarely do)

the other guy is not bad at all he looks good (not as hot as my ex) and he's a very nice man (BUT HE'S NOT EXACTLY WHAT I DREAMT OF)

plus, even though I'm desperate for love, I still don't feel ready to get attached and I want to have more guys before I find the one that will never hurt me or leave me.

I went out with him(first date) and it was awesome .. but I can't help but think the man of my dreams is not this guy.
should I give him a chance?

I was grabbing dinner today when I overheard a girl from my history lecture class whisper to another girl that I was cute. Since she was looking in my direction and no one else was with me when I walked by, I assume she was talking about me.

I think she's pretty hot too. Should I make a move? Wonder if I should say something like "So you think I'm cute, huh?" Would it be embarrassing if I told her that I overheard her?

I had asked previously in my last question "Do I have a chance in getting back with my ex-girlfriend?" and got several great reponses, thank you to those who did. But, I am curious what i should do, and where I stand....I am just unsure how to act around my ex...even though i try to play it cool and act like i did before we went out. I am also unsure if i'm reading signs correctly if she still likes me....please help? and feel free to ask questions if that can help you decide what I should do.

My husband lies to me about several things, controls all money, and gives me loads of grief because we have lots of cats. He says he purposely stays away simply because of them (lame excuse). He works for himself and puts that above all else. Even though he is working so hard, since May he has paid 2 phone bills & 1 light bill. My house that my Mom gave us is now in serious jeporady of being foreclosed. I found out he was keeping crap from me again and told him that was it, I was done. Now he is coming around acting like it was just a fight and like nothing ever happened. That is his way. I sort of want to work things out, but I am tired of going through this and I can not believe a word he says. It makes it worse for him to act like nothing ever happened. I have tried at least 100 times to talk to him, and he ignores me or just says I am b_tching.
I don't know that I can handle anymore roller coaster's with him, yet I love him. So Yahooer's what do I do?????

I am protestant and my fiance is Catholic. I am divorced, he has never married. I am unable to have any more children (I have one daughter who is 14 and also protestant). I REFUSE to get my 1st marriage annulled by the Catholic church, so they will not marry us or "bless" our marriage if we are married by another minister or district justice. My fiance does not care and would rather be married by our friends father who is a Methodist minister than the district justice. HIS MOTHER IS NOT HAPPY because we can't get our marriage blessed.
BTW, I am 40 and my fiance is 39!! What's the deal?!?!?

Note, I had a crush on him before he was my boss. Basically, we're both in the military, he outranks me, and he's 17 years older than me! What's wrong with me? Why can't I like guys that are attainable for me!

So my bf and I are together for more than 3 and a half years. Today's his b-day, we had dinner at his house. They were having a vote for something for christmas and his sister told me to vote too... so I raised my hand for my vote and his brother says "you can't vote your not part of the family." I was probably so red, and I could've cried right there. His family jokes a lot so it's not like it was just out of the blue, but in my opinion, he just took it toooo far. I was really hurt, and cried when I got home. I just thought it was so rude and hurtful. My bf says he was just joking and that I know how his brother is so I shouldn't be offended. I know his family likes me so it's not that, but now I kind of feel awkward and out of place, and now I feel like I'm really not part of the family. Am I over-reacting? What should I do?

It's featured on the Wedding dresses page, the left pic of the hourglass shapes. If anyone happens to know who the designer is or where the dress could be found would be much appreciated! I'm getting married next June.
I know it's a long shot but I'll try! Thanx

I am NOT the only family member she has been rude to. In the first years she was just very quiet, and kind of cold. I thought she was shy. But as the years go by, she has become even colder and often rude. Should I confront her? If so, how? I'm not even sure she'd get it. Since she is this way to others, I wonder if this is just her personality. My mother in law is not much different. I am tempted to just avoid gatherings where they are present. What should I do?

Ok I have this guy friend(more of an aquantance) and I was wondering if he likes me...I've never seen him talk to any other girl before and I don't think he has any girl friends, so I think he talks to me the most out of the whole girl population....anyways, in 1 of the 2 classes that we have together, I sometimes see him staring at me and when I look at him, he shifts his eyes....also, once I got bored so I started puffing out my cheeks and I looked over and he was doing the exact same thing as me...oh and in our other class, he sits infront of me and he always puts his head back and rests it on my pencil case, and a couple days ago, my best friend and I were arguing about recycling and so I asked him if he recycled(even though I knew he didn't) and all he said was "maybe"...I'm leaning towards that he likes me, but I don't want to be wrong considering that we don't talk all that much and he doesn't pay a lot of attention to me...so what do you think???

A friend of mine is designing bridesmaids dresses for my wedding (well, planned in the future). She was interested and I gave her the go ahead (She said she wouldn't be insulted if we decided to buy other dresses, she just likes to do this as fun and I've seen her designs and she's really good.) Now, would it cost more to have 4 dresses made or bought. What if the dresses were made out of a cheaper material (although looking really nice), would this be something to look into?

i personally am sick of those. its awkward, its like a job interview and its the same thing over and over. its like you're interviewing whether you like each other or not..dinner and a movie....cant ppl come up with something different? also its ridiculous how men always are expected to pay...they're not made of money, although its a gentleman thing to do, which i realize. and then women ''reach for the purse'' its so fake. dont you think guys know? lol
anyway, what is your opinion??

I am one of 3 children. My parents split 15 yrs ago and I lived with dad. He remarried but his new wife made it clear that she wanted us out. Dad and I argued over it, but it was impossible to stay. We didn't speak for 13 yrs. My brother's are very close to dad and told me recently dad had a brain tumour. I rang him. His wife answered and hung up. I rang him in hospital and we chatted. He said I could visit but his wife found out & he was discharged a week early and taken home. He told me his wife did not want us to be in touch. We got back in touch via email and we started to correspond. He died last week. His wife has shut my brothers & I out. She won't tell us anything except that we are not welcome. There is to be no funeral service, no fuss. He will be cremated and she has yet to decide if she will tell us the date. He leaves a house (£250,000), 2 cars, insurance policies, & a pension. His wife has manipulated him and I fear she will get everything. Can I make a claim?
