I need some very creative suggestions on how to have a wedding for under $3,000- 6,000...not including the dress. We do not have a lot of money but want something to remember. I have heard suggestions like get married in a backyard or get a park permit and get married in central park...but what about a reception? and what happens when it rains? I need some more ideas. We are in NY but are willing to go just about anywhere in the country.

It came to my attention more recently about the horrible conditions and how people are seriously exploited because of the diamond industry. My feelings toward my boyfriend getting me a diamond engagement ring have always been, well he doesnt have to get me a diamond..actually i love sapphires. but I have had plenty of women tell me that is unacceptable...that like diamonds are required.... but here is my question. Does it really matter that much? And if its such a requirement doesnt that make your engagement ring less unique???

There are so many to choose from! Its hard to tell what they are like just by looking online - it would be great to hear from people who have been married there and their experiences. Thanks xxx

My boyfriend purchased a 1.18 carat princess cut diamond.It's vvs2and the color is a K.Its set on a platinum band because I wanted a solitaire.They diamond was about $4050 and the band came out to around $300.with tax right around 4900 almost 5 grand.something like that.For sure I wanted at least a carat on my ring and I would've loved a color between G-J.I remember comparing a J colored diamond to the K and there was hardly any difference,I couldn't tell which one was which!Was it because of the fact that the K diamond is a vvs2?I'm wondering if my boyfriend got this diamond at a good price.And is K and alright color?I think he should have gone to just a plain 1.00 carat and stuck to something between the color ranges that I wanted though he said that would have made him go over his budget of $5000 .The ring is huge and I love that part but was it wise to sacrifice on the color rather than on clarity.By the way I'm told that the diamond has a very good cut whatever that means.

My fiancé slipped and told me his sister was annoyed that "none" of them are in the wedding. But it's a little more complicated.
1. My fiancé never knew his sister until he was an adult. 2. His "real" sisters are older- he has two. 3. He also has 3 step sisters.
So I was shocked- and my fi starting giving me grief about it. Well, first off I already have 6 people in my wedding party- 6 really good friends that ALL assumed they were in my wedding since I was in all of theirs. And I do want all of my friends in my wedding party. Well, my FI has 5 sister and I can't have them all in the wedding- and I didn't want to favor sister over a stepsister because share the same DNA. I am not close to any of his sisters.
The sister who made the comment is on Welfare and has two children, one who is MR and needs lots of medical attention. She older like 36 so it's not like she a young girl longing to be in a wedding for the first time. I made the comment that she doesn't need to be spending money on a bridesmaids gown and on a shower..... she should save her money for her kids. Oh, yeah... the Dad is an illegal immigrant and he's in jail... so no child support.

Here's the kicker- My FI said to me- If that what she wants to spend her money on then why is it a problem?

I think my FI is annoyed that he didn't have enough guys so I have one of my friends on his side.... but he doesn't have anyone on my side...
But he won't be able to think of another guy IF I had his sister..... and I think it would be unfair to just pick one sister.
What the Hell am I suppose to say to this??
And why is he being so defensive about a sister that he really doesn't like?? He constantly annoyed with her... and how she lives her "ghetto" style life.
And that's actually his word not mine- he always refers to her as Ghetto, white trash...ect.... because of who she dates, how she lives and treats her kids.

Whats the going rate to have wedding invites designed for you. My sister is doing ours, and insists on no money, but we will either give her some, or buy her something of equivilent value- what should we pay her?

I'm getting married and though I already have a long last name, I'm thinking about hypenating and using my maiden name as my middle (i.e. Jane Doe-Smith). My reasons for doing this is simply because I already have children and I don't want to have a completely different last name than they have. His adopting them and changing their last name won't work - their father will never stand for that. Also, I would like to have another child after we are married, I definately don't want the three of us (me, him and the baby) to have a different last name - I don't want to alienate my kids. My fiance totally understands this, though I think secretly he's sad about it - he just wants me to have his last name without the hypenation. If I didn't already have children, it wouldn't even be an issue, I'd simply take his name. So I'm wondering what other brides and brides-to-be have done or are doing? Did you/will you hypenate or simply take your husband's last name?

I'm designing my own wedding program which I will take to Kinkos for printing. I want my program to be a small booklet ( 1 page folded in half --equals my width) but I want the program to look like the other pages have extendsions to make it look like layers.
For example, cover page then an extended page with a title and so forth. I heard it called the "layered style". But how do I get the layout and setup done so its easier when I take it to the printer?

I put my fiance's sisters in the wedding as bridesmaids but it turned out to be a disasterous decision. They were not supportive, showed up late to dress appointments and always had an attitude. It was so bad that I had to ask two of them not to be in the wedding, one is still participating. Now his side of the family is in an uproar and threathening not to come to the wedding. Family is important and I would like to mend the relationship before the marriage. What should I do? I would also like to have a small informal wedding but he would like something more formal what is the middle ground?

Getting married June 23rd. Added note on invitation saying reception immediatly following ceremony, but now I'm thinking I should say something along the lines of "this will be an outdoor ceremony and reception" so that people know what to expect (sun, wind, bugs, etc. )

my question is that is it normal for me to be mad that my family is not coming to my wedding. I'm marrying my fiance whom is in the airforce and we are extremely happy toghether , he's 34 and im 22 but he looks like he's 27 so please don't judge us right away . Anyway his family is supporting us and are excited for us but my family hasn't so much as even called to say congrats or responded on the invitations , i know my stepmom has alot to do with all this drama and she lied to my dad about some stuff and he has decided not to come . my sister has also decided not to come . im very hurt cause i wanted my dad to walk me down the aisle but he has made it clear he 's not coming . my fiance dad has been asked by me to walk me down the aisle and he's happy to do the honor , and that makes me happy also that i'll have my future father in law doing it for me . i've tried several times to ask my dad to come and my sister and my stepmom and each of them have proceeded to say no .

OK my good friend is getting married soon, the wedding is taking place a few states away, just going there is going to cost my husband and i about $300 not to mention 2 days of work he is going to miss or there gift, i just got invited to a last minute bachelorette party which is going to cost $275 (a person) were they are going bar hoping, my husband and i are trying to get pregnant and i'm not even drinking caffeine let alone alcohol. I really don't have the money to go and i have tried to suggest alternatives to the costly plan, but all the other girls are stuck on this.

i love the idea of having a cupcake tower, or little stacked cakes for a wedding cake (actually, that's what the original wedding cakes were little cakes held together with icing.) my question is, would it be ok to have a smaller "normal" wedding cake to cut, and then the stacked one to serve? my fiance's aunt makes cakes and will most likely be making ours (he's in charge of that aspect) and i'm pretty sure she's making the usual, round tiered cake. i'm just wondering how it would work. i mean, you can't cut a stacked cake real well......can you? how

This may be a really silly question, but I got married in Gretna Green in January. I live in the west midlands, do I have to register the marriage in my district or is the marriage certificate we have from Gretna all we need.

Hello Everyone,
I have been invited to the wedding of a near relative/close family friend who is marrying in the UK. The groom is English and was able to tell me that he found weddings to be more formal than they are here in the states. I am wondering what would be acceptable attire, without coming across as either painfully proper or hopelessly American underdressed. The bride and groom are just 30, I'm 33. It is a big wedding, held in an abbey and all at 2pm. I understand that hats are the thing at weddings in the UK? Thanks much for the help!

I'm getting married in 6 months (*YAY!*), and my fiance & I are thinking about signing up for a honeymoon registry site. Two that I have found & heard of through TheKnot.com are: TheBigDay.com and SendUsOff.com - both seem like legitimate sites, but I was hoping someone could give us your opinion(s) if you've used either of them personally or another honeymoon registry site. Open to suggestions!! Thanks in advance :)
