Weddings - April 2007

How do I put this nicely? My BIL is getting married...he has been engaged for 2 yrs & decided to set the date about 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately they decided to get married in August & its not a normal wedding its a destination wedding! Now, to add insult to injury they have asked both my husband & I to b in the wedding. In addition to flying to Florida to be in the wedding staying for a week because of the activities we now cant go on the vacation we had planned. In addition to all of this she is the most disorganized bride ever and has NO IDEA how to do anything. She didnt block rooms at ANY hotel they are not paying for ANYTHING for the wedding party, in fact they want us to pay for things & now they are booking the hotel room we wanted the honeymoon suite as we didnt have one & r using this as our honeymoon. She has not picked out a decent dress only dresses from Juniors departments. How do I help her w/o being bossy or bitchy? Can I tell her she should be paying for stuff?

Do you think it is ok for just anyone to be able to become ordained to marry people when they have no religious background? IMO, Holy matrimony should be handled by people who are trained and experienced in this field. Would you have someone marry you that obtained ordainment from the internet? Your thoughts?

i just want a simple ceremony, and only for 50 guests, and simple food. But the problem is, i'm worried about what other people might think. My friends had grand weddings thats why.

Ok, so I was married to my hero and the love of my life on 1/1/07 exactly one year and one day after we met. We just wanted to have a court house wedding with only our parents there on Camp Pendleton, CA and have a bigger wedding later. I am from Northern California, and my husband's from Wisconsin. My mom pitched a fit about a courthouse wedding, and bullied me into a big wedding. The whole time she complained about how much money they were spending, and made me feel bad when the total came out to over $30,000.

The thing is though that I only got to pick out my veil, the flowers that my brides maids and I carred, the bride's maids dresses, and the cake. My mom picked out the rest (including not allowing me to wear my dream dress). She invited all of her friends and my family, and sent out invets to my husband's family only because she "had" to.

We were married in San Francisco, and only my husband's parents and grandparents made it. The whole wedding screamed my mom.

I do, you used to just be grateful for what you were given, ok you maybe got two toasters, but I think lists put pressure on people.

Me and my fiancee are trying to come up with ideas to raise money to help offset the cost of our wedding. We know the stag idea, and a possible blocks hockey pool. Does anyone have any other ideas (we only want to do one, so it has to be a good one)?

1) I told my best friend that her daughter would be one of my flowergirls, and her son would be my ring bearer. My fiance's daughter is going to be a flowergirl (she'll be five by the time it happens and my friend's daughter will be 2). My only problem is that I don't think she'll walk down the aisle like she's supposed to. How do I tell her that I don't think her daughter should be a flowergirl without upsetting her?
2) My maid of honor and one of my bridesmaids have tattoos on both of their forearms. How do I ask them to either decide to wear gloves or to cover their tattoos without seeming rude? Because all the girls would have to wear gloves if that's what they decided.
3) I am having trouble finding a dress that would look good on all the bridesmaids(they all have different body types), and colors that they all can agree on (only 2 colors, the maid of honor gets a different color than the rest). Any sillouets that compliment everyone?

Thanks in advance!!

I am having 6yo triplets (all girls) as my flower girls. I love these girls and they were always part of the wedding plans. They are triplets, the cutest things, and they are just perfect.

We had decided that one of them would bring the rings, and other two would come with basket of petals.

Anyway... My fiancee called me because his 11yo nephew has been a little depressed lately and he thinks that if we invited Him to be in our wedding as ring bearer he would feel special and that would help him.

I like the kid, and have no problem of him being part of the ceremony, but can't visualize it. He is SOOOO taller than the girls... Seems strange... Doesn't seems harmonic... who enter first? him or the girls? should he pairs up with one of the girls? he is sooo tall for them...

Does anyone have any suggestion?

Is there anyway we can have him active part of the ceremony without being a ring bearer?

Help me think of a way to make it harmonic!!!

Thank you :)

Sandy

My maid of honor was engaged b4 me but it just so happens I am getting married a year b4 her. The problem 1st began when choosing colors. She was upset because I was thinking of using a color she MAY use 4 her wedding. She was undecided btwn peach, coral, burnt orange & some others. Therefore, I was not allowed to use any of those colors. Then she made a comment to me stating, when I came down the aisle she would cry because she would be thinking she was supposed to get married 1st. She told me she was just joking but I believe she really meant it. She offered 2 pay 4 our honeymoon 4 our gift. February she told me she would let us know...it is now the end of April and still nothing nor will I ask. Finally. came the favors. I found glass slippers at a great price because we have 350 guests so I needed something economical. She became upset bcuz 2 years ago, before she was engaged she mentioned she MAY want a Cinderella wedding.

We were just invited to a friends wedding. Neither I or my boy friend have seen or spoken to the groom in over a year.(We have both tried to make contact), also have never seen this bride before. My boyfriend and him were good friends in high school about 4 years ago. And I lived in a house with him and his cousin for about 5 months a year and a half ago. Is it appropriate for us to attending the actual wedding ceremony or just the reception??

Also we went to Macys to purchase a gift off of their wedding registry and it was 8 pages long! They also set up a registry at two other stores.. seems greedy to me??

Many thanks!

My cousin is my maid of honor. I absolutely love her and just knew she would be perfect for the job. I mean she even plans wedding as her career! she is in charge of my reception and rehearsal bc we are having it where she works. She has blown me off so many times since I have been engaged. She is even blowing off my fiance's parents. We have five more months to go and my mom and dad have sat down with her boss to address our concerns and the boss seems to think there is a jealousy factor in this. This truly hurts my feelings to know that she would sabotage my happiness over something so petty. Everytime I ask her to meet with me (such as this past sat) she says no. we live two hours away so our time is precious when we come into town. Turns out she was at a horse chase! what should I do?

It's a country song and a man sings it and it's something about him wanting to marry her but he will wait until she's sure or something. I think it was popular a few years ago. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
