Weddings - May 2007

My husband and I are flying to a friend's wedding to Milan.
He is a top manager of a big company, as well as my husband is.
The wedding is day formal.
I have no idea how much we have to spend on the wedding present.
They have a wedding registry, and I found a nice stockpot with a lid for a total of 195 dollars (145 euro)
Do you think that is enough? Is it enough for both of us (me and husband) or should we pay more since we come to the wedding together?

I originally had thought I was going to have 3 flowergirls, but I saw a wedding yesterday where the flowergirl nearly ruined the ceremony. (She was jumping up and down the stairs, spinning in circles, and yellign loudly over the preacher. I personally think this crossed over the line of "cute" and just took away from the wedding)
Anyways, the flowergirls I orginially had thought about were very young, and one is serverly ADHD. I can't only have one, as I don't want to hurt feelings. And one flowergirl is my maid of honors daughter, and I don't know how her mother will take it since she has just assumed her daughter will be flowergirl. (Her daughter is the one with ADHD) I am just really nervous about having too much going on up there, as we already have 8 bridesmaids and 8 groomsmen. Our wedding is very formal and is in a cathedral setting.
I have mentioned it to each mother some-what....saying "She'd be a precious flowergirl!" But I have not formally asked anyone. What do u think

I just assumed my sister would want me to be her maid of honor in her wedding, but instead she asked her best friend to do the job. I'm her only sister - so there's no conflict as far as her having to choose between sisters. I'm pretty upset about this - should I not be?

Both the brides and grooms families are what I would describe as working class blue collar folks. The wedding is to be held in Las Vegas with the reception dinner at the Hilton's buffet. See what I mean about "blue collar folks"?

Friends of ours attended a wedding yesterday. The 5 yr old flower girl had a basket of rose petals. She kept dropping the petals in the aisle as she made her way forward.

The 3 yr old flower girl followed the first, and kept yelling at the girl for dropping her petals. She picked them all up and put them into her own basket as she walked down the aisle.

If you were the bride, or mother of the bride, would you do anything about that situation?

I've only been engaged for 10 days, and I really want to get married in Vegas. It seems like it will be fun and way cheaper. If I get my way I plan on having a barbecue/picnic type reception when we get back so everyone can celebrate. However, I'm already getting hurt looks and faces of disappointment when I mention what I want to do. I really just want the wedding to consist of me and my fiancee his parents, sister, and nephews (they live in AZ) and my dad, sister, and brother-in-law (who live in WI where we do). My fiancee seems to be more concerned about everyone else's feelings on the situation instead of doing what we might really want to do. He keeps saying Vegas is fine, but I can tell he's worried about hurting people's feelings and that's what nagging at him when I mention Vegas. How do I get my Vegas wedding without starting hurting the feelings of my extended family? Or is it just impossible? Any suggestions, even rambling, would be appreciated.

My Matron of Honor tried to throw me a bridal shower which didn't really end up working out (poor timing, invitations out late, etc etc) so a few of us went out to lunch and shopping instead.

Well, some family friends who weren't able to make it to my shower wanted to throw me one in the town that I grew up in...so when they asked for a list of people to invite, I sent them people's names who hadn't been invited to the original shower and my bridesmaids. I kind of got the impression that my moh (or at least her husband's comment made me feel this way) was slightly offended by this gesture from the family friends.

How should I feel about this and deal with it?

Here's the story. My wedding is July 28 of this year, and I've been engaged since May of last year. I foolishly asked my oldest friend to be my maid of honor. She has always been somewhat self-absorbed, but I thought she had gotten over it.

Well, things have not turned out well. Not only has she been completely unsupportive; I can't even get her to pay for her bloody dress. The day my other bridesmaids and I went to pick them out, she ditched, so I paid for hers and she promised to pay me back (I really don't have the money to pay for their dresses, unfortunately). She has not planned any kind of shower/bachelorette party for me- she has literally not even called and asked me how plans are and if there's anything she needs to do (we don't see each other very often).

This is stressing me out so much that I know I need to tell her she's out. What is a tactful way to do this? At this point, I'm not too concerned about preserving the friendship, but I don't want to be too rude.

We sent Save the Date notice early, and a few people (from out of town) have said they won't be able to come to the wedding. Do we still send these people an invitation even though they already said no?

We have 6 groomsmen and MAYBE 5 brides maids. Without taking anyone out, what's something creative that we can do (if there is anything at all)? The both of us only have 2 friends that are girls, and we are including family for the bridesmaids. We don't have any other girls to choose from. Any ideas?

what happens when parents of a daughter who is living with her boyfriend after having only met for a few months, and are planning a Catholic wedding in 6 months and the parents refuse to give their blessing or go to the service? Doesnt the young woman have to get her fathers consent?

together from their two separate ones?

I've witnessed dozens of Catholic weddings and when we were preparing to marry, our priest told our group that it was not permitted because it had nothing to do with any church custom, it actually came from when Luke & Laura were married on General Hospital.
Is this true?!!!

I mean, I'm sure the priest would know what is and isn't allowed as part of a wedding ceremony, but then, why have I seen it in so many other churches?

I am getting married soon and I originally had a big wedding party. I was supposed to have six bridesmaids and six groomsmen, but two of the groomsmen are not cooperating and are unresponsive, and it seems as though they may not be in the wedding now. How can I handle this situation to make sure my wedding doesn't look weird?

We are going with an early fall feel. Lots of greens with touches of dark red, orange, golden yellow and ivory. My dress is "chianti" in color (looks like a deep red/burgundy). I want a small bouquet with the ribbon wrapped around the stems. Help!!! Can I put some in my hair, since I'm not wearing a veil? Thanks.

I'm getting married in September, or maybe sooner. I don't like showing off, especially for a commitment that's just between me and my fiance. I just want to go to the courthouse, sign the paper with no one present, and afterwards go out to eat, just me and him. My mom, however, has been whining about not getting to see her only daughter get married (my brother got married overseas, so she didn't see him get married, and my other brother is gay and so likely won't be able to marry). She's really been pitching a fit... when I said she could come to the courthouse and watch, she started talking about how we needed flowers, a dress, photographers, and how we will have to invite my fiance's parents as it's only fair. I don't want any of this... I'm thinking of just getting married and not telling her forever... lol. What should I do? I REALLY don't want a ceremony of any sort!

She did offer to pay for everything, but I still don't want it.
