Weddings - May 2007

Sounds silly, but my dream engagement ring would be the Tiffany Setting from Tiffanys... on the website it says it starts at $1,093, but is that just for the setting (diamond not included)?

Are rings from Tiffanys too expensive, and how much is reasonable? Is a Tiffanys ring too much to expect as a college student? Does anyone know about the prices of a Tiffanys Setting ring, I am just clueless about this stuff!

My mother and father have moved 5 hours away, my sisters are busy with their own life, and my friends have their own thing to do. So how can I find a dress, get flowers, find a chapel, get the reception done, etc. all on my own. Any advice?

My fiance doesnt want us to have a bachelor and bachelorette party. He says they are stupid and that he just isnt comfortable with the whole idea of what they entail. What could we do together maybe as like a combined party? Hey I want to celebrate! (and no not with any kind of stripper or anything involved) :)

My fiance wants to elope, and want a formal (but small) wedding in a church.

He says he wants to avoid the whole drama of his family, and would feel weird inviting both his mom and dad to the wedding, and just get married on a beach in Hawaii or something, and then have a reception.

Backstory: His dad left his mom for another woman on x-mas eve when Nick was 5. They haven't spoken since. It's been 20+ years. Nick's brother does not speak to his father either.

He is afraid of bringing them into the same state (his father lives in Miami, and his mom lives in St. Louis) let alone the same building.

I can sympathize with his situation, but I can't empathize with it. I have a "nuclear family" and I know I would upset my family if I ran off and got married, but I know I would break my father's heart if he couldn't walk me down the aisle.

I will add that I also have strained relations with his mother, and that makes the situation more weird.

Any suggestions?

My bf and I went on a family vacation last week. All of his family was invited. WeI've been dating for 1 year and 10 months now, and have been entretaining the idea of marriage and talking around the subject for a while. It has been implied that we're going to get married someday and even his father called me "Mrs. P" during the vacation, but still no "official" word from him. His family kinda spilled the beans on his "plans" for us a few times, but still he keeps mum about it.

Finally, after a lot of talking around the subject, he told me that he wanted to "settle" in 3 years and that if I agreed, I said yes, and he said: well, then we have to start planning from now to make it possible.

HMMM.... what is that supposed to mean? I'm sure that it's not a marriage proposal, but rather an advisory? We're both adults (27 and 33) and financillay stable. We do not live together. I'm happy but confused. What do you think?

I think the bridemaids usually pay for their own hair (as I did in my friend's wedding...who is also one of my bridesmaids). My only concern is that the cost of living for the area in which I live is much higher than where my bridesmaids live and I feel bad making them shell out for an expensive hairdo.

I picked out a dress for my cousin's wedding that is white, but very plain. I was planning to dress up it with colored belt, matching color earrings and probably similar color heels. My friend that I showed it too said white is off limits for weddings. I hadn't thought about it, and know I've seen others wearing white. I was thinking that with the color accents that it would be fine.

ok so me and my fiance have always had some issues. he is kind of jealous and controlling.
EXAMPLE: he calls asking where im at all the time. he does not like me going out or being around friends. if i miss a call he accuses me of cheating.
i dont know i love him and i tell him he needs to stop and sometimes he will for a bit and he will get back up on the problems. I dont want to hear any advice as to leaving him because i dont want to. what do you suggest? what can i do?
OHH and once i say something about him being so controlling he kinda turns it around on me. ugh just help please.

OK, my mom hates my brother's girlfriend. She is very upset that I invited her to the wedding. My brother should be sitting with my mom at the parents table. However, my mom says that his girlfriend is not allowed up there because she does not want to look at her and she would rather sit at a table by herself. She also said she paided for everything so she should be able to say who is sitting with her. My brother said he will not sit without his girlfriend. I want them all to sit together, I think it will look dumb if they do not. So do I give into my mom or my brother. On another note, my brother is the one walking me down the isle. Won't it look dumb if he is not sitting with mom?

One of my close friends has finally, after 44 years of being single, decided to get married!

This is his first, as is his wife-to-be. Neither have any children. They are both successful career people who are in need of nothing. They already have homes, cars, furnishings… you get the point. The wedding is going to be small, only about 90 people. It is a Catholic wedding with a reception dinner following at a resort hotel.

I have not been to weddings in years with people that are not “kids” just starting out.

My question, what would be a customary and normal gift to give to this couple?

One last point, I am one of two Best Men in the wedding party… So I don’t know if that matters one way or another.

You find the guy you love you get engaged and you get married and have a wedding. But do you think there are hurt feelings when the bride includes everyone in the wedding party except for two sisters? There was a sibling a while back that got married and him and his wife had the whole family in the wedding expect my sister and I we did have a small part in the wedding but there were hurt feelings and when I explained this to her in a letter she said you cant make everyone happy.
But that is not the point the point was my sister and I were the leftovers in the wedding party.

When I got married I made certain all my brothers and sisters were in the wedding and when a friend was hurt she was not asked to be a bridsemaid I made sure she was in our wedding because I know how hurt I felt when I was rejected.

Do you think that there are hurt feelings in chooseing a bridal party? How have you dealt with it?

My wedding is 5 1/2 months away. We are running out of money very quickly and running out of time. We do have a deposit on a hall and DJ but thats it and I really dont see where the money is going to come from. Would it be bad to just do a church wedding and serve cake and punch their then go to someones house just to have a after party? Bad idea?

I'm the Maid of Honour for a bride who's having difficulty finding and ivory (or pale gold) stiletto sandal.

We've looked in ALL the obvious places (Bloomingdale's, SAKS, Neiman Marcus, Macy's, JC Penny, Target, and even all the smaller boutiques in the major malls.)

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a specific shoe/accessory store for brides, or, at least, of any stores with a good variety.

I'd appreciate any pointers you may have.

Thanks!

I had a bridal shower on May 12. I bought thank you cards and want to start addressing them and send them out. But my fiance' and I were talking and we're wondering if you are supposed to wait until after the wedding to send all of them out (we will undoubtedly receive more gifts and cards.)

I was thinking I should send the cards out for the shower because I don't want them to think that I forgot and that they weren't appreciated, they were. what do you think?
