Weddings - January 2007

Just to clarify with my last question. Because my fiance has already bought me an engagement ring. He knows that, at the wedding ceremony, we will each get a ring. But he is convinced that, before the wedding, he stil needs to buy and give me a wedding band. That leaves me with a total of three rings (engagement ring, wedding band, and finally, wedding ring). I have told him that the wedding ring and wedding band are the same thing, but he argues and is very sure that he is correct. How do I prove that he is wrong?

my fiance and I had our reception on May 26th which is the saturday of Memorial Day weekend? We are planning on going to the beach to get married and want to have the reception on the next weekend, but it falls on this weekend. How would you feel if you were invited to a laid back cookout reception on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend?

My fiance and I have been disagreeing about what jewelry is associated with an engagement and a wedding. The way I understood it, there was the engagement ring, and a set of two wedding rings, called wedding bands, one for the bride and one for the groom. The engagement ring and the brides wedding ring can be bought as a set and made to fit together, although this is not necessary. My fiance insists that there is first the engagement ring, and then the wedding band, which is sold as a set with the 2 wedding rings, and that the wedding band and the wedding ring are made to fit together on the woman's hand, seperate from the engagement ring. Please explain to us what is correct, and, if possible, give a credible website with the information listed so that whoever is wrong can clearly see what is correct. Thanks.

My fiance is a wonderful man and I am so excited to marry him but something I have been wondering about for a while now is how to do the unity candle. His mother died when he was three and his dad died a few years ago. He does not have a lot of family that he is close to that could kind of take the place of his parents so that option is out. He has told me several times that he loves my parents as they are his own and I know they feel the same. My mother suggested that her and my dad light both candles because it is symbolizing two separate people becoming one. I'm really not sure what to do. Is this a good idea? Does anyone have any suggestions?

My fiance has chosen 1 best man (of course), and 2 groomsmen. That number will not change, as there is no one else he would like. I have chosen my maid of honor, and 1 bridesmaid. For the 2nd bridesmaid, I am torn. I have two friends whom I am considering. One, Traci, was one of my best friends from 6th grade until graduation. She has since moved to another state, and I talk to her very rarely. Another friend, Katie, I have known since 6th grade, but I have only been close with her for about 4-5 years. During that time, she has done some terrible things to our friendship, but I always forgave her. Who do I choose? Katie, who I am close to now, even though she has stabbed me in the back more than once, or the Traci, who I have more history with, but that I rarely speak to now days? Additional details: I am planning to have Katie's son and little sister in my wedding, and her fiance is one of the groomsmen. Also, she told me that she wants me and my fiance in her wedding.

My father is deceased, and cannot walk me down the aisle. In answer to my previous question, many of u suggested a close male friend, a friend of my father, or an uncle. My father had one sister, and she is married. She and my uncle-in-law (i call him that to show that he is not blood related, but married to my aunt) have been around for me, and have been helping me in any way that they can. However, as helpful as my uncle-in-law is, he is only in our family by marraige, and I don't feel close to him. I don't really want him to walk me down the aisle, but I know that he would love to, as he has no children of his own.

My other option would be my dad's good friend. He and his wife used to be around alot, but I haven't seen them much lately. I have no godparents, but my dad once told me that this friend and his wife would have been. This man was part of our life out of friendship with my parents, and I love him. But he has two children who he got the opportunity to give away.

I have a very small, almost non existant, family. I would like my godson, who will be 4 when I get married, to be the ring bearer. I would like a close friend's little sister, who will be 12, to be the flower girl. Are those ages appropriate?

It would be sort of cute, too, because the little sister is my godson's aunt!

I thought that when we lit the unity candles, we might have the minister speak about how we want God to be a part of our union and let the miniter have a third candle. What do you think?

I have never been to, or involved in, a wedding. Therefore, I don't know what is customary. I have come to believe, however, that the father always walks the bride down the aisle, to 'give her away' to her future husband. My father passed away recently, and I am getting married next summer. What other options have you heard of?

Addition details, in case they become relevant. My mother is deceased as well, I have no siblings who could give me away, I have no godparents, no step parents, my father has no brother who could do it, and I have never met any of my mother's side of the family. I'm running out of options!

I'm not planning on getting engaged for 2-3 months, and I live out of town. I probably won't see her father in person before then, so I would like to ask for his blessing now. Is it too soon? Should I call on the phone closer to when we get engaged? What is typical timeframe to ask for her father's blessing?

I'm the maid of honor in a wedding saturday and the groom is totally wrong for the bride. He drinks, swears and has no ambition. The couple are young and the bride is having mixed feelings. Should i object at the wedding? I don't want her to make a huge future mistake since she is so young. I have already told her I think she should wait and she is having mixed feelings on what to do. I think she's scared to cancel because of embarrasment.HELP! Her family all feels the same that this is all a bad idea.
