Weddings - April 2007

No not the real cake....the "fake" cake. I gave it a facelift, I removed my mom's blue flowers that she had and replaced it with my red ones. It is 2 layer oval cake. My question is, would a cake fountain look nice under the "fake" cake? Or, should I have a bakery make me another layer of cake and duplicate the original icing pattern? If I do the fountain, should I just have a slab cake or cupcakes to serve? The only thing about not having a real cake is the cutting. I want to have the traditional cake cutting! Your opinions would be appreciated!

Ok so, my fiance' is in the army and we decided we wanted to have our wedding in July and have our colors be red, white and blue. He is wearing his dress blues, and I am wearing the only white in the wedding. My bridesmaids are wearing the red. I was wondering if I had the groomsmen in a navy tux (like the color of the dress blues) with a white shirt and a red tie, would look stupid? Any one have a red, white and blue wedding that I can see pictures of?

Wondering if getting married by a person of a differant religion, but only because he has the authority to marry would some how be marring them through that church. Like, lets say theres a couple ones mormon other catholic, a mormon bishop is set to marry them but the catholic doesn't want it to be a mormon thing just a marrying thing is that possible?

my sister in law is engaged and is planning her wedding in august 07. traditionally it is the brides family who throws the party but the thing is, I told my hubs, since we are both old enough and had good paying jobs we can throw one ourselves. that was 3 years ago. i bought the dress, we even went to look at some reception places together and booked one but about a week later he told me it was filled by someone else. anyway so we had a big fight about it, he says he doesn't want to do a wedding party, b/c his family does not do wedding. so we never had a wedding. i'm the only girl in my family and my brother doesn't even have a gf. so it makes me even more upset thinking how he didn't want to give me a wedding party. so now, my inlaws want us to help them plan the wedding finding reception halls,flower places, cake,decorations,getting invitationblahblah, i'm so mad i don't want to help.everything wedding makes me upset.i only asked for two things from him n only got one. what to do?

My fiance's parents want to send us on our honeymoon. They don't care were we go and we had only planned on going on a cruise, spending about 5000.00. Our thinking is that we have dreamed of owning a boat ever since we moved to florida, one of the main reasons we left CT. Nothing fancy, a used one would do but big enough to pull a skier with. Now we know we would get much more enjoyment and use out of a boat than a honeymoon. Our deliema is of course how do you ask for one with out offending, old school, old world sicilian parents?

We both really do not want to go.His brother is jumping into a doomed marriage with a witch of a girl(I know this personally, she used to be my roomate). No one on his side of the family likes her.She has a free ride, and he would never leave her(he's never had a gf before,so he's hooked).They fight alot according to other family members and he's called crying to his mom/dad a few times after.We had a bbq last summer and she wouldn't let him man the grill cuz "he'd screw it up".They can't manage their money at all and have borrowed over $3000 from his dad over the last 2 years and haven't even started to pay him back, even though he lost his job.She even argued with his dad about the amount that they owe! & she wants a huge $17,000 wedding and she only works part time.I think they only got engaged for the fun of it,which was Aug/ 2005,and the wedding isn't supposed to be until Aug/2008,3 years! She's even planning on asking for $ for gifts, so they can afford their London honeymoon.

I really like the idea of a simple, natural wedding with wildflower-style bouquets. I'm thinking sunflowers, gerber daisies, liatris. Any suggestions for other flowers and for bridesmaid dress colors would be great! Right now I am thinking a med-deep brown for the dresses. I need lots of help!

What is REALLY bugging you while you're planning your wedding? A nagging mother? An unhelpful fiance? A dress that you ordered in white and ended up getting seven of them in red?

This is your chance to vent! Whatever is bugging you, let me know...I'm curious to see what's bugging people!

P.S. Mine is "But you have to invite this person, even if you don't know/like them."

doesn't want my sister to invite our aunt (our grandmother's daughter) to the wedding. Our grandmother won't come to the wedding if our aunt is invited. They had a falling out a few years ago and haven't spoken since. Our father passed away fifteen years ago, and it would be meaningful to my sister to have my dad's entire family present at her wedding. All of our cousins, including our aunt's children, will be invited. We don't know how to handle this situation without hurting someone. Suggestions?

I have a friend getting married this weekend and she and her fiance aren't registered anywhere. When I talked to her she said they didn't really need anything or have room for anything in their apartment. I know where they are going on their honeymoon and was wondering if it would be tacky to give them a gift card so they could go out for a nice meal. Or should I just go with the old standby Target gift card instead?

Ok Me and my girlfriends plan to get throw our girlfriend who is getting married a bachelorette party.

We are going to invite a male stripper to give her a lap dance. However I was thinking that we could make her strip to her bra and panties or even naked. After that we would make sit on the chair and tie her hands behind her back and let the guy give her a lap dance. That way she would get turned on and wouldn't be able to touch the guy.

Is this a good idea or is it overboard?

My boyfriend and I are disagreeing on weather or not to buy a gift for a couple whose wedding we are not attending. Let me give you both sides of the argument, and please give us your opinion.

Situation: We are not good friends with the couple. In fact, the girl was with a friend of ours a few years ago, and cheated on him with another friend. Since then, we became involved in a social group w/ them, and became aquantances. The dinner group doesn't meet anymore and we just got an invitation to the wedding. If we never would have been in this group, we wouldn't have been invited. We're not going because we don't really know them.
My argument: we need to buy them a gift because it's proper etiquite. We got an invitation, and are not attending, and they should still get a gift, even if small, from us
His argument: "not only do we not know them, I don't like the bride. She cheated on my friend and who cares about etiquite. They don't deserve a gift just because they sent us an invitation

Do you think it is rude not to have cake at the wedding reception? I would have a dessert table or chocolate fountain instead of a cake but my sister says that we must have a cake. My fiance and I do not like Cake so why spend a lot of money on one? She also told me that guests would be upset if there was no cake? Who goes to weddings just for the cake anyway? Let me know what you think please I will have a cake if it is considered rude not to but I think other desserts would be just as nice.

Me and my finocee have been engaged for 4 years now, we have a 20 month old together but arent married yet because we dont have the money for it. We also need to buy new wedding rings ecause his sister stole them and sold them for drugs. His mom has been pushing us to get married and when we told her we couldnt afford it right now she told us to go to the justice of the peace, wich is what we are planning on doing as soon as we get rings and we are jusyt going to have an actual wedding when we can afford it. well his mom is saying we dont need rings. Which would be fine but if im not going to have a wedding i atleast want the rings. Well anyways his sister has been engaged for almost 2 years and are planning a wedding for september, which his mom offered to pay for!! I think that is totally wrong considering we have been together longer, have a child together, and his sister is the reason we arent even married yet.....and his mom is going to pay for her whole wedding...........

My son has decided to get married and is only giving me a month to prepare. It is informal, just vows exchanged in a very small church with immediate family, around 25 people combined. This is my first time, my only son. We haven't any money to spend so the budget is small. I was told I am to supply the food for the wedding rehearsal and the reception. Also clean-up. Is there anything else? I don't want to look foolish, I haven't met her parents and won't until the day of the wedding, they live out of town. Do I also supply the wedding cake? I understand her parents are more broke than I am, what are their responsibilities? The kids ( they are 21) already have a dress, a suit and rings. Do I also supply the decorations for the reception? Oh, dear. I know I just can't afford this! Please help!

Short story, she wants us to invite her best friend to the wedding who also happens to be the mother of my feonces ex girlfriend. This would not be a big deal except the M.I.L has called me immature and continues being rude and manipulative towards me. How should I handle this situation?

The reception will end around 9pm and our hotel is less than five minutes away. I like the old fashioned idea of putting on a going away outfit, but at the same time I want to show off my gorgeous gown as much as possible! What does everyone think?
