Weddings - December 2006

I just found out that my soon to be husband is also a soon to be father. During a 3 month break-up period my fiance had a fling w/ a woman and now she claims she is pregnant with his child. He says he will take care of his child (DNA test pending) but wants to move forward into the future with me. I'm really not a factor in their decision, but I have no idea how to handle this.

My mother told me that yellow dresses and themed weddings are bad luck. Is it true?

I will be getting married and if I choose to put an announcement in the paper I am not sure what to write. My mother is deceased and I have not spoken to my dad in 9 years. Would it be rude to leave him out of it? Should i just not even bother putting one in the paper? I don't even want to put the place of the wedding in it for fear that my dad would show up and ruin my wedding. I don't know what to do!!!!

What would be good wording for an engagement announcement that will be sent out to everyone who is also on the invite list? The only thing is.... We don't have a date. It will be a little over a year for our engagement. The reason I want to send out the announcement in the first place is due to extended family whom I do not see very often and do not have a "phone" relationship with. I just want to make sure that everyone knows so that there wont be any hurt feelings. Please help!

December 16, 2005 my fiance proposed. We planned out everything, booked the hall, church, picked out our wedding party etc. Since that time my fiance has been laid off (he works for the state of NJ in construction) and he's been doing side jobs to make ends meet. I have a medical job which pays not so well. On top of it we can't find an apartment for under $1450 a month + utilities, have 0 money to pay for our wedding and now all of my friends are turning against me because they think this is all his fault somehow. I'm absolutley heart broken. I could care less about having a wedding, I'm ready to elope, it's fine, I just can't believe my friends have all turned against me, my maid of honor dropped out, the entire thing has gone to pieces. Any suggestions on what I should do for a cheap wedding and if you were in my shoes would you even bother to invite your so called "friends"? I can't even believe I'm on here writing all this, I'm just so at a loss right now. Comments....

I have a very complicated life, but to make a long story short, the same family adopted my biological brother and me. It was very rough and I ended up having a very strained relationship with my parents and not even seeing my brother again until I was 21, when he came back from his 2nd tour in Iraq. He doesn’t talk to our parents at all but my relationship with my parents is now phenomenal. I planned on getting married this spring. I would like my father, who is a judge, to officiate the ceremony instead of walk me down the isle. I wanted my brother to walk down me down the isle. The problem I am having is that my brother is going back to Iraq (yeah the 3rd time) in January. It means so much to me to have my brother be apart of my wedding. I feel like I can’t get married without my brother being there. Is it wrong of me to postpone my wedding just for my big brother? Please help me sort out my feelings. (On a side note- instead of the traditional wedding march, I want to walk to Imagine by John Lennon, is that not an appropriate song for a wedding?)

We are planning to get officially engaged around Easter time, and after that we will pick a date, but I can't help stewing over how long I should allow myself to plan the wedding. We are planning a fairly small simple ceremony and just dinner and cocktails after it(no dance). How long do you think I need to plan this type of thing?

My husband and I got married on August 26, 2006. We still haven't sent out thank you notes. We have a 20 month old daughter together and my husband works 12 hour days so it's SO hard to try to sit down and write thank you notes while a toddler is getting into everything and tearing up the papers (I know this from doing the invitations). Then we went to finally sit down and do our thank yous and all of the addresses were erased off of our computer! My question is... What would I say in the thank you since it is so late. How should I apologize? Or should we just not send them at all since it's so late? I feel so horrible for them being so late!

Due to space limits I can't include all the details I would like. But I was living with my fiancee's family and yesterday they kicked me out. All because on Christmas Day I did not hug his mom goodbye. Even though she didn't hug me when I first came in nor did my fiancee' hug her hello/goodby either.

So I told my fiancee' that they were not welcome in my home(it's being built and is almost finished) or at my wedding. He was fine with that but not about me excluding his mom.

This is going to cause a problem because I feel like while it was his step-father that made the decision she played a part in it as well. That she needs to realize she could have spoken up about this instead of keeping quiet. In fact by keeping quiet it makes me think she agrees with him. and who wants that kind of person around them? She's done numerous terrible things to her childern so I don't understand why my fiancee' is being like this. I'm very worried this may end with the wedding being cancelled

Isn't it rude for a bride to only give some single guests the option to bring a guest, and other single guests no "& Guest" option? If you're going to give anyone the option to bring a guest, shouldn't you do that for everyone?I think it's so tacky and rude.. just wanted another opinion

And if so, can you give me a reason not to open up the wallet a bit on one?

And yes, it obviously is not the main reason for buying the ring...

I have a serious dilemma I need some help with! I am getting married and I don't know who to pick for my bridal party and what positions I could give to my two younger sisters and those couple friends who won't be my bridesmaids.
I have 7 REALLY close friends that I have always hung out with (since High School and I am in college right now) but 7 bridesmaids (including the MOH) seems like A LOT. Also, my fiance can't think of 7 groomsman to match. I really only want 5, but I want to give the other 2 girls a role in the wedding. Maybe a female usher? I'm not sure of what they do besides seat people.

Also, I really want my 2 sisters to take part in my wedding in a special way, they are ages 16 & 18. I thought of maybe they could read a special verse or two from the bible? I don't want to give them a role like 'guest book watcher' or 'gift taker'.. I want them to feel included. No junior bridesmaids though.
PLEASE HELP, ANY AND ALL ADVICE WILL BE APPRECIATED!

My diamond is actually so big due to the shape- it's a oval... I will have to get a custom band made. It' has to have a curve in it to fit around the stone. UGH, I can't find anything I like and will have to have something made but I am surprised that one carries anything like this? I want a band that only curved on one side and straight on the other so it doesn't look curved. All the band I have found are curved on both sides. I want baquets going across the whole band. I am just trying to find a picture of one to look at to see if I like it and then take it to the jeweler for ideas- he told me to bring a picture, he doesn't have any in his office. He is a friend of my brother inlaws and normally doesn't do small jobs- only retail stores so he can make anything but needs a picture.

There is this person who is one of fiancees oldest friends who totally disrespected me and caused too many problems in my relationship with my fiancee. She acted as though I didn’t exist and asked things of us that she really shouldn’t have, just because fiancee used to do a lot for her and her son in the past. No one likes to be disrespected and because I am always told I am a kind person I tend to do a lot for people but she took me for granted too many times that now I would rather not have anything to do with her. I don’t want a person like that in my life. I am getting married and have told him and she knows that I don’t want her there, such an important day I don’t want to be reminded of those horrible times in my relationship because that’s what she represents. I am on the road to forgiveness but as far as i am concerned that doesn't mean i have to be friends. Fiancee would like her and her son there but i can't do it. She was orignially invited even though i didn't want her
