Weddings - February 2007

So what would you do about this?? Me and my dad were VERY close when i was younger. But once he got remarried and had my baby brother, his new wife convinced him to get a DNA test and he stopped talking to me for 5 years over a mis-hap(sp) at a christmas party. Im now getting married in august and over the last couple years have went and seen them maybe 3 or 4 times. But they never make an attempt to see me or call me. Im so tired of being the one trying. And my dad met my fiance and likes him and all,...but i dont know if i should have my dad walk me down the aisle or not. I have no brothers or uncles i am close to that could walk me, or grandfathers. Im so confused on this situation.

My parents have fixed up my marriage with a man i don't like much.

I tried explaining to them that I find the thought of being marrying him uncomfortable as I don't like him. But they told me that new brides need to adjust & that it is a good match & it is for the best-so I need to get over those feelings & accept him for who he is.

In addition, he lives far off compared to where I stay. If I get married to him, I'll also have to leave my job as he's in another city. Though I do not earn much, I like my job. It makes me feel good about myself.

My question is this:
1. Is it worth running away from home, keep my job but live a harder life but independently OR
2. Is it better to compramise, live with someone I don't like but live in a comfortable house?

Please don't be judgemental about my character/ my parents...i'm seeking solutions, not opinions. Also please don't lecture me about how its 2007.

Your answers could help me make the most important decision of my life.

My father died back in August and I am starting to plan my wedding and I don't know what to do. I want it to be a special day like it should be but also want to do something special to honor my dad. I am going to have my oldest brother give me away but does anyone have any ideas on something special or honoring that I could do for my dad?

I am wanting to marry a guy who claims to have a worker's visa but when I ask to see it there is always an excuse. I just want t o know what I'm getting myself into ahead of time..Any suggestions for me? Do I need a lawyer to make it a legal marriage? What about a prenup? What should be included in one and are there loopholes since his English is great, but if he claims he doesn't understand it later on in life.
(Just trying to cover everything)

My wedding is going to be in the spring time.. And my favorite color is pink..so pink will be the main color and I also like the color purple and love pink and purple together. Only thing is I don’t know if the colors should be pink/white or pink/purple/white. My bridesmaid would be wearing a pink dress with a purple sash type accent and they’d be holding purple flowers and I’d be holding pink flowers. And if purple wasn’t in the scheme the brides maids wouldn’t have purple and they’d be holding white flowers and me still pink. The only problem is I’m worried the purple would take away from the pink and if the purple isn’t in there I’m worried the pink/white would look boring lol. I know it’s a lot to read and may be confusing and I’m sorry if it is lol. Thanks.

Also the purple/pink will both be a light tone such as lavender and lt pink incase you thought they'd clash. Any opinions/ideas would help. Thanks again.

My fiance and I are having my sisters and his sisters children in our wedding (2 flower girls and 2 ring bearers). We are thinking of inviting all of the children from our families to the reception, but are concerned with the cost at the country club. Do places of this sort typically charge the same per head for children or is there a seperate price for the kids?

Also, any ideas on how to keep the kids entertained? I'm sure they will love the dancing. But to keep them otherwise occupied we were going to put goody bags together with coloring books, etc. Any other ideas?

She`s arranging her wedding herself which we dont find a problem, but we just feel more&more like we`re not even being considered in her preparations.She`s rejected her niece as a bridesmaid,she`s asked her friend to be chief bridesmaid even tho she has two sisters,1of which was very close to her,she`s excluded us from being involved with any of the preparations.We have had to bite our tongues for her sake as we wouldnt want to upset her,but shes even telling us what to wear,no consultation.It seems to be all to suit the grooms family.She lives up north and we`re in the midlands,We kept quiet when we found out that her intended had an affair last year,got the girl pregnant.We feel as if we`ve been bad parents which we know we havent.We were a very close family at one time.The wedding was booked without asking if the date&time was ok.We are paying towards this wedding&have made no requests,We know its her wedding,shes 34,but dont we deserve some consideration?its like shes afraid of us.

My fiance and I are getting married in late spring, and his parents, who are divorced, can't agree on what to do about the rehearsal dinner. His dad lives more locally, so his mom wants him to plan it and she'll give him a set sum of money. The problem is, he doesn't want to agree to what we want, just a simple meal catered by a local cafe. He wants something fancier - but neither of them has the money for that. She would be content with what we want and doesn't want to argue with him anymore about it. He says if she won't talk, there won't be a rehearsal dinner. It's very frustrating, and my fiance and I don't know what to do. Would the best alternative be for us to plan the rehearsal dinner ourselves, say as a picnic or potluck? Or should we just tell his dad, "Sorry, if you're not will to cooperate with us you will have to explain to the wedding party why there's no rehearsal dinner"?

We are having a cocktail reception and it is not suitable for children. No one else has minded the no kids rule. (I did all the right things on the invitation and I wasn't rude about it). I don't mind if kids come to the ceremony but there is no designated seating and the venue is not set up for kids. I have provided local babysitters information. Do we stand our ground and face the consequences so that we have the day we've planned or do we let him bring his daughter and cop the flack from the rest of the people with kids. Any ideas would be great.

ok, my fiance and i are coming up with our guest list, and we're stuck on the children issue. he has a young cousin, who will be 7 at the time of our wedding. my cousin recently had a baby, and is pregnant again. those children will be 2&3 for our wedding. we're wondering if it would be ok to allow the 7 year old (who by the way, we see a lot more than we see my cousin and her children. we are closer with his family than mine) but not the toddlers, since they won't be easy to keep under conrtol, and we don't want toddlers screaming while we're trying to say our vows. would this be ok to do? i don't want to offend his aunt and uncle, whom we are fairly close with, but i also don't want to upset my cousin! thanks!

After my fiance proposed to me I was in a daze the first month & that is when I chose my bridal party. There is one person in particular I wish I had never asked. She is not really my friend, I hardly ever see her..she is my fiance's best friend's girlfriend...

Is there any way i can un-ask her? :S I feel horrible for doing this, but I don't feel right having her up on the alter with me. Is there anything I can do?
