Please share your experience with me.

My parents divorced when I was six years old and more than 20 years later, both sides of the family still HATE each other and it would be so painful for me to bring them together in the same room. It was a divorce that lasted for 5 years of torture for everyone involved. Custody battles, family members getting arrested for harassment, life threats, supervised visitation rights, etc., the list goes on....

I personally don't want a wedding, we are planning a get away for TWO only, but I am getting guilt tripped about it..

What to do???

And what is WRONG with my family that they actually WANT to be in the same room again, I DON'T CARE what the occcassion is....

And how do we tell them that we want to get married ALONE?

I was thinking it would be something fun and different to do for the last 2 hours of the reception. Tell me what you really think.

This is a last minute decision, and we want people to join in our celebration of marriage after we return, but we don't know exactly how to go about the situation. I'm open to any ideas.

Typically men ask women to marry them, and although I am "old-fashioned" in some respects, I was wondering what people thought about a woman asking a man.

My fiance' and I have agreed to only have immediate family members at our wedding ceremony (parents, siblings, grandparents) and throw a big reception with extended family and friends a few hours later. My fiance' is very shy and doesn't want a huge crowd staring at him and I only want the people who made a direct impact on our lives to attend. I cannot believe my future MIL keeps telling me about my fiance's uncle and aunt coming to the ceremony after I've told her all who were invited. He's not even close to them!

It isn't fair because the ceremony won't have a balanced attendance from both sides. I do have aunts and uncles but I am also close to my cousins and if I invite my cousins, my future MIL will invite cousins and that will be too big and make my fiance' very uncomfortable and for me, it will just start mess between me and other family members.

What should I do??!! Stick to the original plan or let my future MIL invite the aunt and uncle?

My fiance and I already live together and really dont need any gifts. People usually give you things for your home and we dont need any of that but we would like to receive the cash instead to help us go on a honeymoon or get something we really want / need. I was thinking o get a money chest for our reception but I dont know... How should I word it in our invitations ??

After my ex-boyfriend and I broke up, I stayed in close contact with his (paternal) grandparents. They were always good to me throughout the relationship. We still email each other about once a week.

The ex's father was always nice to me, but his stepmother had nothing but bad things to say about anyone and everyone. And any opportunity she had to put down the grandparents, she took it. They still send me a Christmas card each year, but that's our only contact.

I will be getting married next summer, and want to invite the grandparents to the ceremony. My own parents have said I have to invite my ex's parents as well...it would be incredibly rude not to invite both couples.

Any opinions?

I went to a wedding shower, took a gift to the future bride and later I went to her wedding with another gift. She sent me a thank you card for the shower present but never anything about the wedding present. On her list she asked for the wedding present to be mailed to her but I carried the present to the wedding. Now I am not sure if she ever got my present. I don't know her well but know her mother . How do I apprach them and question wether they recieved my wedding gift without being tactfull ?

How did you know s/he was the one you wanted to marry. What were some of the signs?

The wedding colors are pale green and white with silver accents. Use white or green tule fabric (it's like very fine netting). Cut squares from it and put the light green and white TicTac mints in it, then tie up the edges with silver ribbon to make a little bag. Does this sound tacky? Why or why not?

I am asking because I chose to go with them for my dresses because the ones I like the best were there but my service has been MUCH less then steller. All my friends that also have used them or been in a wedding that used David's were unhappy with the service too. So I want to see if its just us or if the service at David's Bridal just sucks. Thanks for all your feedback!

I found a bra/waist cincher at David's Bridal that I just love, but I refuse to pay $90 for something that I will probably use twice in my lifetime... Does anyone know where I can get this bra for cheaper or at least something similar?

So around Christmas time my son was getting alittle selfish with what he was getting..He would say stuff like...Is that it...I don't like that....or where's the rest of it...(He's only 6) and yes I was getting kinda imbarrest of his reaction to gifts that people where giving him...So to show him how lucky he really is...I made a plan to take him and his brother to a soup kitchen next year on Christmas and serve them supper. Then I will make him pick 3 of his gifts that he has to give away to someone at the kitchen that night. So he can see, not everyone is as fortunate to have what he has. Also to teach him that giving is way more better then receiving...Does n e 1 think this is a good idea or a mean one.

When I get married I'm going to ask my cousin to be the Maid of Honor. The thing is, she's divorced with a little girl and isn't exactly looking for Mr. Right (more like Mr. Good-Enough-For-Right-Now) so I know she won't be married again by the time I get married. Since she's divorced is she a Matron or Maid of Honor?

I knew HIM 2 yrs ago, i was filing for my divorce then. I had 3 kids from my previous marriage, Age 10, 6 & 4. My age 10 & 4 are staying with me. HIM was very sweet when we first met, he treated my kidsvery well initially. But recently, he wasn't happy with my eldest daughter, 10 due to some problems that she has given us. HIM starts to badmouth about her and wanted me to give her back to her natural father. My daughter would not want to go back to her father as the father is known to be notorious. Of course, i won't send her back. I felt sad for my daughter though she didn't say much. She still respect HIM very much. But HIM doted more on my son, 4 and start to ignore my daughter, 10. I start to realise that there is a problem. I could not accept the fact that HIM doted on my son more. I know he loves me but why is he starting to condemn my daughter. He should ve forgiven my daughter no matter what cos he should treat her like his own if he marries me. Now, i really dun noe.... Help!

What would be the right way to ask someone to be your bridemaid that lives a few hours away? Would it be proper to just ask on the phone? Thanks for all you help in advance.

It's my parents' 40th wedding anniversary soon. My dad is housebound so a family meal or a trip out somewhere is out of the question.
Neither my brother or myself can think of anything, Ive trawled the internet for ideas and Im starting to pull my hair out now!
Any ideas anyone?

We only got engaged about three weeks ago and my fiance is refusing to talk about weddings already. He said he is sick of hearing about it! Is this normal? Have any other ladies had this problem and how did you get round it???

All advice is appreciated.
