Weddings - March 2007

A friend from uni is getting married and as she's moving to India shortly after the wedding, she's asked for money rather than actual gifts. I feel a bit uncomfortable giving money anyway and have no idea how much is a reasonable amount - I don't want to look stingy but then I haven't got a lot of money to spend. She told me that she didn't expect me to give her any at all because I was spending so much on travelling up to the wedding and accommodation, but I still think I should give something. Just don't know how much!

My dad is a HUGE music fan. He love all types of music and because music had been such a huge part of our relationship I am having a hard time picking a song. He loves Neil Finn, Beatles, Billy Joel etc. I am looking for a song for the father daughter dance that will mean something to him. It doesn't have to be about a love of a father. Just something approprate. Any suggestions would be great!

I'm getting married next year.

We have 200 people coming and the insurance for the church says that's the max for health & safety reasons....

However, my boyfriend & I were talking to his mum at the weekend and she announced that people could just turn up for the wedding ceremony uninvited...is this true? Is it polite? Personally, I'd be really offended if people just rocked up without letting anyone know, especially if they nab a seat reserved for someone who has an invite.

We were talking about his ex girlfriend (of 3 months) who is now dating an aquaintance we know. We'd like this aquaintance to play the drums for the songs we're singing so boyfriends mum said that we had to invite the ex too. Then said we didn't need to invite extras, its a free thing and you can't ban people from weddings....she said what if they have a reason we can't be married?

It really upset me so I was just wondering whether there was any truth in what she said? Or whether its bad ettiquette?

The wedding will be very big and we don't want uninvited intruders to attend the cermony. We are planning to have security guards at the gate to let in invited guests only.

do I sacrifice and tell some of my friends that they can't be in my wedding party because it will be uneven and I don't want that, or do I ask my fiance to have people on his side that he isn't that close to so that I can have all my close friends on my side?

I am going to Davids Bridal in a few days and I was wondering if anyone has purchased one of their Davids Bridal Woman wedding gowns. I can wear anything from a size 18 to a size 24. (the size 24 seems to always run big on me though) I have a big chest and big hips and I am just worried that they won't have a good fit for me!

I got married by arranged marriage at the age of 45. I am O.K. & feel God does not take same work from everybody. I have different kind of work to do. Opening schools, orphanage & As inaugerating this inaugerating that. Arranging parties for neices & nephews graduations. Getting just their love not hate. I feel I am equally blessed as my other sisters or any other women of the world. but my husband says midiocors care for the scoiety not inteligent people. Am I wrong if I did not find my own match & got married at average marriage age of the girls.
Or I would have been happy women if i had child?

I am getting married in June, and i graduate high school in may. is it ok that i am having a lot of showers? I have one with my mother's family, one at my church, one with my mother in law's family and neighbors, and one with my school friends. For my bacholeorette party, i wanted a lingerie shower-since we are all just barely 18, and we cant drink or nothing that typically goes on at a bacholerette party, but my moh said today she wants to give me a bridal shower one day, and that night do the bacholerette thing. but i feel sort of greedy with so many showers, but there isnt really anyone invited to all of them...(should i invite my future mother in law to all of them?)

I am hosting a bridal shower for my sister Tiffany with a "Breakfast for Tiffany" theme (serving breakfast at a hotel).

I am decorating the tables with tiffany boxes (like the ones from the store, blue and white) and I even have fake little diamonds to spread on the tables.

Any other ideas to keep with the theme? What about games relating to the theme?
