Weddings - May 2007

My husband recently bought me a new wedding ring. He basically upgraded my old one for a larger stone. It is a Tiffany style 18k 1 1/2 carat Princess cut solitaire w/platinum head, & it is beautiful...but the thing is...I was really wanting a Pear. I have hinted to him over the years that when he was ready to upgrade to a larger stone, I wanted a Pear shaped solitaire. I know woman have there own styles of what they prefer & I thought it was up to the woman to pick out which ring/stone she likes the best...I dont want to sound ungrateful, but is it wrong to be a little disappointed? He said when he gave it to me, "A Princess for a Princess"...i thought that was soo sweet. But I still woulda preferred a pear. Its my wedding ring, that I will wear til I die. Please help me understand my feelings about this...Im not an ungrateful person...this to me is just different, its my wedding ring....any help? He did tell me in 5 yrs or more he would upgrade to a 2 or 2 1/2 ct, should I wait til?

I have 2 aunts and a cousin that's giving me a bridal shower. I also have my mom and my sister, but they're not really financially able to help with the shower. My aunt is sending out the invites, but is skeptical about what to put on the Given By Line. My mother is the type that will be upset if her name isn't on there. Do anyone have any suggestions on what to put in that line, I don't want to have too many names in there, so what should we put?

Some of my freinds and family are upset at the fact that i did not invite them to a dinner that I had with my immediate family after getting married in city hall. Now we got married in city hall because we did not have enough money or time to get married by the church and have a big wedding. We are still planning the $15,000 wedding lol. But we got married in city hall more for us not for my freinds or family. I explained to them that i got married in the court but not in the church (my family is really religious) so it is more important to them i thought to get married in the church and to invite everyone then. More so my freinds are the ones more upset because they wanted to be there for me to get married. But i keep tryign to tell them i am geting married in city hall for just me and him it is our thign for ourselves. Basically the whole hoopla later with the big wedding is for everyone else and for religious reasons. Do you think that should be feeling that upset over it???

I have been looking at informal wedding dresses online, and it didn't occur to me that I could also look at formal bridesmaid dresses until someone suggested it.

Does anyone know of any cons of doing this? I'm not worried about deviating from the norm.

Here is an example of an informal wedding dress I am considering:

I am engaged to a great guy, but for the last year and a half, we have just not been the same. I think we have just became two different people. I was 19 when I started dating him and 4 years later, of course I am going to be a different person. There is just no spark anymore, and he drives me nuts and when he does certain things, it just annoys me. I am scared everyday that I am doing the wrong thing. My family loves him, so you can't talk to them about it because they are expecting this wedding. Is there anyway to save us? I am scared it may be too late. I don't want to marry someone that I will not be happy with and right now, I don't think I am happy. He used to be spontaneous and fun, and now all he wants to do is stay home. I am 23 years old and I want to go have fun. He is 26 and acts like he is like 95. I like to go do things. What should I do?

Due to the huge expense involved, we'd like to limit our guest list to 100 guests (considered to be a "small" wedding in my country). That means only inviting parents, brothers, aunties and uncles and close friends. Inviting cousins (and cousins' partners) would mean adding another 100 persons to the list (yes, we're a *very* large family), which we couldn't really afford. Me and my fiance are both happy with this arrangement, but I can't help worrying that some of our aunts and uncles will feel offended that their children have not been invited, and will not come themselves. I've been invited to all of my cousins' weddings, so this is the first time something like this is being done in my family...

Should I plod on or expand?

Ok, here's the deal: I have been with this girl for over a year now. We got engaged back in February, and since then life has been a living hell. We have been fighting about this wedding stuff non-stop since then, and as she wants a small wedding at the beach, and I want one in a church.

Come to find out last night, she doesn't want to get married at all, because all she is worried about is the finances (I make plenty of $$ to pay for everything). She has a big pride issue with her folks not being able to pay for it.

Should I continue to try to work this out? Or just go ahead and move on? This has become an issue that is really tearing me up emotionally b/c I cannot seem to discuss this with her without her getting all defensive and crying, etc. Any & all help is appreciated. Thanks.

My fiance and I are paying for our wedding on our own and while doing the guest list I asked for his moms help on some addresses for their side of the family. I gave her the list of ppl that I needed addresses for and she has taken it upon herself to add ppl to the guest list. My fiance and I have looked over the ppl and they are friends of his mom's relatives that he has either never met or hasn't seen or heard from in over 10 years. We have tried to tell her that we are not inviting those ppl and they she needs to understand that we are paying for the wedding are not paying for ppl that we don't know. She has decided to make her own wedding invitations and mail them to the ppl that she thinks should be invited. WHAT DO I DO?????

My fiance and I are registering for our wedding, but we are not sure whether it is "proper" to register for furniture. We haven't seen it listed on any registry checklists, but it is the main thing we need. Of course, we registered for other items, so there will be plenty of options for everyones price range. The furniture is rather inexpensive for furniture but still expensive for a wedding gift (ranging from $50 to $350). According to the stores registry completion discount, my fiance and I will recieve a 20% discount on any unpurchased items for a year after the wedding. I do not expect anyone to purchase these items by themselves, but I know that sometimes people buy group gifts. We would like to take advantage of that discount, considering that we want the furniture regardless of the registry. I'm just worried that some catty family members (from both sides) will see $250 or $350 items and make a fuss over it. Is registering for furniture proper? What should I do???

Most of my friends have children (babies to around 5 years old) and as our reception is really informal and being held at home we want our friends to feel they can bring the kids if they want to rather than having to fork out for a babysitter. What can we provide to help keep the kids happy? I've thought of things like colouring books and pens, any suggestions from people with kids would be great!!!!

My boyfriend (of almost a year) and I have decided to get promise rings. We're both almost 18, and went to church together for 2 years, until my family left (crappy!), and we now go to the same school. We are completely in love, and no, its not sissy high school love either. :D We're both quite aware that we might break up and never see eachother again, but at this point, we want to try to make it. However, we don't want these promise rings to be 'pre-engagement' rings.

Any advice; like what we should promise, ring ideas... etc. :D

thanks.

Someone on here mentioned a Wishing Well idea.

So I was thinking "Wishing you well" We could put Advil, prenatal vitamins, bandaides, vitamin e, ect....Basically things for the medicine cabinet. I'm not sure if it a good idea or just stupid.

I can't find anywhere on the state's website that has a form to fill out to change your name after you get married.
What forms do I need to fill out when I do get married?
Where do I get them?
Thank you so much in advance!

Im wondering if any of you out there think this is a good song for a first dance. We both love the song, but we're not sure if it will work or not.
Its A Long Trip Alone by Dierks Bentley


It's a long trip alone over sand and stone
That lie along the road that we all must travel down
So maybe you could walk with me a while
And maybe I could rest beneath your smile
Everybody stumbles sometimes and needs a hand to hold
'Cause it's a long trip alone
It's a short piece of time but just enough to find
A little peace of mind under the sun somewhere
So maybe you could walk with me a while
And maybe I could rest beneath your smile
You know we can't afford to let one moment pass us by
'Cause it's a short piece of time
And I don't know where I'd be without you here
'Cause I'm not really me without you there
Yea Yeah
Hallelujah hallelujah oh
So maybe you could walk with me a while
Maybe I could rest beneath your smile
Everybody stumbles sometimes and needs a hand to hold
