Weddings - April 2007

Me and my girlfriend just got engaged. We're still in college and planning on getting married as soon as we graduated (in a little over a year). Is it ok to throw an engagement party even though we're kind of young or should we just stick with a bridal shower for her closer to the actual wedding?

I currently have two bridemaids, two jr. bridesmaids, and two flower girls, but they're all under 18 and I don't really have any female friends or relatives (of age) that I'm close to. My closest, best friend for the past 12 years is the groom. All of my cousins are either really young, or much older and I hardly know them. My fiance has five groomsmen (including BM)and a jr. groomsman. I don't want to look like a loser with no friends, but I don't want to just pick anyone for the MOH. What should I do?

We did not send Save the Date cards when my daughter selected her wedding date. (My husband adopted my daughter 5 years ago and has raised her since she was seven). Even though I told me husband he should tell his brother the date because he just got engaged, my husband did not call his family to inform them. After we booked all the vendors for my daughter's date, my brother in law informs us of his wedding date, which is the same day. He did not want to change his date and immediately sent out invitations (6 months before his wedding date.) Do we still send an invitation to him and to the family and friends who already received an invitation to his wedding? Should we enclose a handwritten note stating we are aware there is a date conflict?

My fiance and my wedding is coming up this summer. We're in the process of planning that, moving 600 miles away and finding new jobs. Needless to say we haven't had a break in a long time and I'm truly exhausted as I also work full time. He is out of town, where we are moving, in order to do some interviewing. He went on an all day bender and then got mad at me when I called a couple times to see how his day was going. He really embarassed me as he's hanging out with "his" friends who I'm trying to form a relationship with him, and now they think I'm a nag. What to do??

My mother is 85 this summer, and we have not seen or spoken to each other for almost two years. She has allways been a VERy controlling lady, when it comes to family, and I think I must have been 50 before I dared to contradict her direct order, as they allways were considered by the rest of the family.If she came up with a suggestion, about ANYTHINg, we ended up doing as she said, before she came to control if she had been heard. I remember my son once said to his grandmother that she should have been working in the army. And I almost choked! But he was the only one she listened to, and did not get mad at. My dad who was a loving man, never said against her, he was to his dying day totaly in love after 50 years of marriage. My sister and me have all our lives had to weigh our words on a golden weight as we say in Norway, before we decided to speak abot any subject. Two years ago I could not take it any more. I sold my house, moved to another city, and said goodbye. Should I call?

I asked this question earlier but I don't feel like I've gotten enough advice to form my own decision yet...Anyway, here are my issues:

Background: I have 5 bridesmaids.

BM #1 (MOH): Going through a messy divorce (to which she's soley responsible and is not upset about) just moved 7 hours away. Seems somewhat apathetic about the Shower (other bridesmaids are trying to plan it, and they're a little upset about her apathetic attitude). Still wanting to be MOH and be in the wedding but I want her to be excited and more involved.

BM #2: Actress. Didn't tell me it *might* be an issue to be in the wedding after all, hasn't given me a definite no but told me that she'll order her dress and everything anyway, and if she can't come last minute she can't. Don't have time to replace her position, don't really want to be one girl short.

Issue #3: Bridesmaids that are frustrated with one another for various reasons

See previous question for more details if you want to. Thanks so much

Not that I was expecting money, that's not the point. But they could have at least left a card, right? It wasn't cheap for food and alcohol. Do I still send a card thanking them for coming?

A friend told me that she used three really long sub sandwhiches and cut them up for her reception. Is this too cheap of an idea? We are having a small wedding/reception and a big dance. My fiance and I both love subs, as do our families. Just wondering if this is "too cheap." We'd have three different sub types. Thanks

I have enough for a small wedding reception.

My fiance and I are geeks. But we're not going to have a horribly decorated ceremony and reception with spaceship favours and little medieval statues everywhere. Since our wedding is going to be small, though, we want to keep the atmosphere light and fun-loving.

We were recently discussing the "speech on marriage" that will open the ceremony once my dad hands me off. We both agreed we would love to open with the speech from The Princess Bride: "Mawwiage. Mawwiage is what bwings us here togethaw today. Mawwiage, that bwessed awwangement, that dweam within a dweam..."

And so on. We'd add a bit more, but this "outtake" wouldn't be more than a minute or two worth of laughter for our friends and family. HOWEVER, we'd like to keep it a secret from all but our friend who agreed to oversee the ceremony. (We'd be excluding it from rehersal dinner.)

My only fear is that my mother would kill me. That side of the family is less... geeky that then rest of us. Should we care? Or have fun?

Ok, my friend made me her matron of honor in her June wedding long before I knew I was pregnant. By June I'll be almost 6 mos. pregnant and the dress she already got will NOT fit at all by then. On top of that I like in Kansas and she lives in Texas and I have a 1 yr old. I just don't want to drive all that way to wear a dress that doesn't fit (no she won't get another one and I can't afford to get one). On top of that I found out at my 8 wk visit that my blood sugar is high and they need to do some testing over the next few months. My husband is deployed, so it's me here alone with my son and we live on post and need a larger house so we will also be moving this summer. There's a lot on my plate as it is, I just can't have the stress of the wedding with all that has to be done. Am I a bad friend for telling her now that I just can't make it for the wedding? I hate to do it, but there's too much going on here right now for me to even think of going. Am I being too selfish?

My Boy Friend and I want to get married! He is telling me to pick out my people I want to be in our wedding. I know that there is a Maid of Honor and a flower girl, but what else? I know I must sound stupid, but someone please help.

I am about ready to lose my mind!! My fiance' and I are having a destination wedding in another state and my family is all pissed off about it. My mom and dad are mad and my sisters all keep saying "well you must not want anybody there". NO! Thats not why we're doing it this way! Why cant anybody understand that just because its a destination wedding, it doesnt mean we dont want them there. There are plenty of good reasons why we are doing it this way and also, we really want to!! I dont want to have the same exact wedding as all my older sisters. Then its not even special ya know?
I'd like to get to a point where I start enjoying my engagement and look forward to my wedding but right now, I just feel like crap.
Are there any other brides out there that have gone thru this? Why do people take weddings so personally!?

My cousin and I grew up together. The thing is I don't want her to be in my wedding, because of the way she acts. She is so disrespectful. She doesn't have any manners. The reason I don't want her in my wedding is that I think she will mess it up. Plus she doesn't want to pay for her attire. Am I wrong for not wanting her in my wedding even though we grew up together? (I really don't want her at the ceremony)
Am I wrong or just being mean?

I'm looking for answers from the viewpoint of the guests... how many of you actually WANT a 'wedding favour'?

How many of you actually keep them, and how many of you throw them out or relegate them to the junk drawer?

I'm trying to find out if they are actually worth all the effort and expense many brides put into them.

A friend on mine is getting married. She and her fiance are having a wedding shower. Men and women are attending, as well as both sides of the family. What is the difference between wedding shower and the actually wedding gift? Are they basically the same types of gifts (i.e., housewares, etc.)? I do not want to be inappropriate in my gift giving.
