Weddings - April 2007

This is for the staging of a musical, Fiddler on the Roof. We are wondering if during the Wedding Scene, is it necessary to build a gate to seperate the men and women? We're trying to follow closely to tradition, for example, we have a traditional canopy. The actors are already seated on the proper side of the bride and groom, based on their gender. Thanks for your help!

"Shayla" lived in the apartment beneath mine four years ago. We've had months of not speaking to one another at different periods, and I have felt very betrayed by her in the past. She asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding, and I agreed. When she began fighting with her maid of honor I got "promoted" to the position. To make matters worse, she admits she doesn't love him, and is constantly looking up exes and talking about trying to find a "fling" since she has a "free cheat" to get even with her man for an affair he had with one of his exes. I have asked her if she is sure she wants to marry him, and she says it doesn't matter since divorce is so easy. Should I suck it up and shoulder all this work for a friend I'm not sure is that close? Should I tell her how I feel about participating? Is there a gracious way out?

We just took the pre-marriage inventory (200 question exam) and we have to meet with the priest soon. I'm just wondering what types of things you discuss with the priest.

I have been told to wear it on the right hand. Is that correct or could I just wear nothing to the alter and then have my hubby put both on when we exchange rings?

Do you feel like you've given way more to others than you've received? I've never been married or had children, but over the years I've spent thousands on family members, neighbors, friends, coworkers - on their wedding showers, weddings, baby showers, their kids' graduations, their kids weddings, showers, etc etc.

I've never been married or had kids, and am finding myself getting a bit bitter. Guess what, I'd enjoy getting money for a nice trip, or a new toaster or towels. Single people like that stuff too, are only married people worthy?

I won't do it, but now and then think about having a quickie wedding/divorce, just so I can reap tables laden with decorated gifts, and envelopes containing cash so I can go on a cruise somewhere.

I don't like feeling this way. I gave all those gifts because I wanted to. I wish others wanted to give to me.

Can any of you relate?

A bitter old spinster

My FSIL pulled me aside at a family party and we started talking. She began to bad mouth my in-laws and even my own Fi. She told me that my FMIL has babied my Fi his whole life and I should get out of this situation while I can. She was basically making it out that I would be in a life of servitude if I marry my Fi. She also said, she feels that my Fi's family bend over backwards, when my Fi is in need of anything. She claims her husband hasn't been given the same treatment. Although, our inlaws gave them money to buy a house and my FSIL/BIL are consisently borrowing things (lawn equipment, etc) from my Fi. Fi often needs these items at the same time, yet doesn't say anything when they borrow them. He feels bad because they need them, but can't afford them. I actually hate how FSIL uses him and then cries about how "unfairly" she is treated.

I know she is crazy, as she has started trouble w/ in laws before. How do I handle my ungrateful FSIL?

My boyfriend and I are thinking about setting our wedding date in 2009. We want to wait a while and save up some money. We both have large families and therefore our wedding will be quite costly. We are budgeting around $20,000-$25.000.

My bf parent's have offered to help pay for part of the wedding costs, as they did with his brother. I'm assuming they expect my parent's to also contribute equally, as well as my FI and I. We have figured in will be about $8,500 dollars each.

However, my parent don't really have any money. They will only be able to contribute about $2500. I'm fine with this. However, my parents do not want my in-laws thinking they are skimping on the costs. They do not want talk about their money issues w/ my in-laws, which is understandable. I told my mom not to worry and I would make up the $6,000 on my own; as well as my Fi and I $8500. What is the best way to save up for $15,000 over the next 2 years?

My younger sister, has dissappointed me by deciding not to include me or my children in her wedding party. Instead she has 3 of her friends in her wedding party along with our other sister, and a relative of her fiance. The wedding will take place in another part of the province and will be very costly for my family to attend. I am afraid that I will be unable to just grin and bear it when her wedding day comes, and I won't enjoy myself. Should I go?

I've just got married and I'm going through a list of people I need to tell about my name change. So far I've got the bank, work, car insurance, mortgage co., and council tax office.
I'm sure I'm missing a few - any suggestions?
Thanks!

Me and my fiance are living on opposite sides of the world so organising our wedding so far hasn't been easy- through email, text messaging and the occasional (very expensive) phone call.

When we first talked about our ceremony we agreed very small and personal because it's the sentiment behind it that's important not the big party.

I know he's trying to be helpful most of the time BUT he keeps inviting friends and making decisions without consulting me first. For example we agreed on 2 close mutual friends to attend and today I get an sms telling me that 3 more of his friends are going... When i asked why he didn't tell me before he just said that they're his friends and he wants them there.
However, he can't seem to understand how I feel- out of my family only my mum can attend, and none of my friends can fly out for the ceremony. He thinks I'm being unreasonable for limiting his guests.

Am I...??

I need an objective perspective on this one.

For my wedding, my fiance and I are making a slideshow..first with some photos of us as babies, toddlers, children, etc. Basically showing us growing up, and then some photos of us since we've met. I am just looking for a cute song that says something about what its like being a child and growing up, how precious that time is, etc.. Something easy to listen to so it will flow w/the rate of the photos. Thanks!

How to make a boutonniere with gerbera daisies?
I've found several ideas of how to make a bout with roses or other kinds of flowers, but nothing specific to gerberas. I've tried a few different ways, but it always looks odd.

The groom, groomsmen, and my dad won't be wearing jackets, thus no place to pin the boutonnieres. What could I use in place of a boutonniere to show that they are all a part of the wedding party?

He has a controlling, hateful fiance who has called the police on him simply because he tried to hold her arms because she was throwing his clothes out in the driveway. She gets mad every so often and starts throwing and breaking his stuff and she is just not a likeable person. I have talked to him about it and he isn't even sure why he stays with her. I feel that I cant support the wedding as best man because I would be a hippocrit. I know I should be there for him, but I don't think I can support it, any advice.

Whats the tackiest thing you have seen at a wedding? Mine was at my cousins wedding and I saw some people getting their wallets out at the bar. So when my mom went up to get a drink I whispered "I think you should take your purse with you." And she just goes "Oh no, Im just going to have a soda." But she had to come back for her purse to pay for the soda!!
***Cash bars are my pet peeve! Charging even for a soda is pretty bad in my opinion.
