Weddings - January 2007

My husband is in the military. Originally we were going to have our wedding in Dec. of 2003. He received military orders and he was told that no one could take vacation during that month. So, after discussing it, he and I decided to get married in a civil ceremony and have our dream wedding later. We have been married over three years now and are starting to plan the wedding. There are some problems though. We have had a rough time with my SIL's and I made the MISTAKE of telling my Mom once. She said that she does not care if she ever meets his family now. What a disaster! I know I never should have told her anything, but I had NO idea she would react that way! Our families have never met, because we move alot with the military. My Mom constantly tells me that she wishes my husband and I would take the money for the wedding(which we are paying for entirely) and use it to buy a house. I feel so discouraged and wonder if we should even have the wedding? HELP! Proud Army Wife

we had gotten married by hte justice of the piece at the town hall. we had 3 people ther(our 2 best friend's and my sister). after wards we went to a restaurant to celebrate and have some drinks and it was nice. we did it that way cause we didn't have alot of money at tthe time. We have been together for 10years but married for 66 in june. I wanted to know if we were to do the who church and reception thing if gifts and money were to be accepted. Now I am not sure how the rules go. I just want to have a real wedding now that we can afford it and for everyone to have a good time. what does everyone think?

My wedding reception is in June 2007 but I realized in Nov 2006 that I coud not afford it. I was the only person who signed the contract - my fiance did not. The site said if they can not find another party to reserve the space, I will be liable for the entire balance. Is there anything I can do to avoid being sued?

I am newly engaged and am planning my wedding for the summer of 2007. I have been to one wedding in my life so am a bit lost when it comes to the wedding planning. Can someone explain the order of events for both the reception and ceremony. Or any wedding planning advice will be useful. Thanks!

My niece is getting married in May and the groom to be says he wants to wear a suit instead of a tux since he is a professional musician and wears one almost every weekend while playing at weddings. My parents are flipping out over this saying it shows ..lack of respect.. the bride will wear a gown how will it look... they are embarassed what will the relatives say. I told them I was sure it will be a nice suit, probablly new, they think they will be plaids (groom and ushers) I think they think this is a clown wedding! What can I do so they won't ruin my neices' day!

Hi all. I'm getting married this August, and I'm trying to pull everything together. My theme is a difficult one because I have a hard time finding things for it. It's wish upon a star. I have found star bottle stoppers and I found star garland. And the colors of the wedding are red, white amd silver. We don't have a lot of money, and I see fabulous stuff online, but we just can't offord it. Now I feel like throwing the star thing out the window. Do you think a star theme is cheesy? I want it to be elegant. I can't find one guest book or ring pillow that has stars on it. Actually I found a couple but I can't offord it. I went to wal mart and bought a cheap white ring pillow & guestbook. It was the liked hearts one. That theme is ERYWHER! Anyway, I cut the hearts and white ribbon off and I used a red ribbon on it instead. Then I think I'm happy, but as soon as I search online and see nicer things I feel like it's cheesy and taky. What do you guys think I should do? Thanks a bunch!

My brother stays across the country and he's getting married and I want to go but at the same time it cost $378 for a flight. Keep in mind around the same time as the wedding i'm trying to move to another state. What should I do in a situation like this one? Go to the wedding and be broke when its time for my big move? Or send my best for the lovely couple and keep my first months rent?

Do I need to have a shuttle bus or something like it for out of town guests from the hotel (also the reception spot) to the church for the ceremony and back to the reception/hotel? It's really out of our budget to do this... Should I make this happen?? I made a note on our wedding website to carpool. Was that in bad taste?? What do I do?

Also, am I supposed to pay for it? I did a lot of research & found a shuttle for the airport and added it to our wedding website. Do I wait to receive the RSVP's to tell guests about the shuttle? Am I supposed to "entertain" out of town guests the entire time they are here? Also, my wedding website has A LOT of important, helpful info on there. (all about the ceremony, reception, where to stay, what airport(s) to fly into, shuttle and/rental car info, links to maps of the area, info about the cocktail hour, and anything else you want to give me ideas about would be great.) Is it in bad taste to put a little paper in the invitation with the website address on there?

If I bought flowers in bulk online and tried to tie them together would I need to use floral rods to keep them from drooping? Or could I just tie a ribbon around the stems.
