Weddings - May 2007

My bf and I have been waiting for the right time (financially) to get married and feel like that time is soon. I've been planning that day ever since I was young and had my dream ceremony location in mind and everyone knew about it, including my brother's fiancee. But after they were engaged she asked me if she could have it there. How could she put me on the spot and ask me that? I said yes but inside I was screaming no. She should have known how I felt, that this place was off limits, and she shouldn't have asked at all! It's every girl's dream to have her wedding day be special! So after a week of sleepless nights, I told them I didn't want them to have it there but she said she'd already put down a deposit. I was upset by this but what's worse is that I don't feel like she cares. She didn't even give me an apology, my brother had to say sorry for her. I feel bad putting him through this but I feel like my wedding will not be special anymore. Am I wrong? Is there anything I can do?

I'm getting married in two months and my fiancee's family is paying for the wedding. They don't want alcohol served at the reception so I was looking for other options. We will have champagne but I was worried if it may look bad to others cause there is no alcohol. Did anyone not have alcohol at their wedding?? what did you have instead??

My previous question on this got accidentally got deleted so I have to ask again. Thanks for the input.

I am putting this together for a friend of mine as a joke at her bridal shower. So far I have thought of Fruit rollups, syrup & Redi-whip. I'll be getting a really trashy nighty also. I would like to have more items. Many thanks!

I know it is traditional (and expected) for the bride and groom to send out thank you cards after the wedding. However, when my step sister got married, she and fiance had a picture taken of them holding up "Thank You" signs. They had magnets made up with the picture on it, their wedding date and their new address. At the wedding, there was a table with all of these magnets. I can't remember how it was worded, but there was a card saying something about how these magnets were in lieu of thank you cards via mail.

Their wedding favors were matchbooks with their picture on it. I no longer have any of the matchbooks..but the magnet remains as a lasting token of their wedding.

Part of me thinks the magnets were lazy...but on the flip side, I STILL have the magnet on my refridgerator....Their picture will be on my fridge for much longer than a card would last.

My question is this: If you went to a wedding where they did magnets instead of cards, what would you think?

I just got engaged and have started to think about my wedding, I seen a dress on line that I LOVED and it has some red in it, so I was thinking that the colors could be red and white...What do you think?

Also I need some help with planning and the decorations, pictures, all that good stuff. I found some magnets I want to get that you can personalize with the name and date but other than that I don't know. Anyone who has had to go through wedding planning before HELP please. I'm in this pretty much alone, no one has time to help and I don't know where to start or what to do first....

I want to have a wedding everyone will remember and that will make me happy but I don't have a lot of money or time to do it all....what can I do?

ANY IDEAS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! THANKS...

I have been in several weddings and I am about to become the bride. I have always heard people stress not to lock your knees or you will pass out. I have seen people pass out at weddings but I was wondering if anybody knew if locking your knees can make you pass out and if so why????

Okay so everything is planned and we are getting married in July. We are having it in my dads backyard, its going to be all Hawaiian themed and just like a big barbeque. Well, we have one problem, my dads wife has a son that has 2 little kids. About 4 years old and 2 1/2 years old. They are horrible kids and they are very destructive! They have no discipline, and are still in diapers!! I had initially said, no kids allowed at the wedding! Well last night, my dad and his wife were making out the invitations, and she mentioned the kids. My dad said that we didnt want any kids and his wife went postal! In the end she pretty much said ' if you dont invite my grandkids, not only are my kids not going, well neither am i.. AND i dont want to be married to you anymore!' Well this is MY wedding, why is she doing this?!? So... i told my dad today.. fine, we will just go to the Justice of the Peace and get married with no ceremony... What do you think the right thing is to do?

I'm getting married in a month and need a little "boost". LoL I lost a little bit of weight and my dress fits fine (had to be taken in a little), but when she took it in I lost all of my clevage (sp) and look like I really don't have a cheast. I don't want them standing out, but I do need a little help in looking like I got just a little bit. FYI my dress is all lace up back, with thin straps. any help would be wonderful.

I'm starting to receive rsvp back from the invitations I sent out. Some of the people are writing nice notes on the back and including a check with it if they can't come. I'm not sure if we should wait to cash the check till after the wedding or do I cash it and send a thank you note now? Thanks for the help.

I am getting married in June. I invited two of my favorite cousins and their Dad but I did not invite their Mother because she is not married to my Uncle anymore. More importantly, she was very mean to me when I was growing up. She has never showed me any kindness and I have no relationship with this women what so ever. She has disrespected my Mother and the wedding is at my Mother's house. The last time I saw this women was 9 years ago at my Brothers wedding but she didn't speak to me then. Now because I won't invite her, my cousins probably won't come and I look like the Bridezilla.

Am I wrong for not wanting this person at my wedding. As far as i'm concerned she is not a part of my family.

What would you do?

My wife and I basically avoided contact until our wedding day. We didn't even kiss until after we said "I do". The first time we held hands was when her father handed her over to me at our wedding. We've been married for 3 1/2 years now and we've never regretted what we did, in fact, we highly recommend it... anyone else with a similar story?

After dating her for a week, we fell in love with each other. She told me she love me and I told her I love her. the next thing, she told me she cheated on me (let a guy that she likes a lot kiss her). then after the next day, she told me she kissed some guy and she enjoyed it. I feel very heartbroken. Why would she leave me? and btw, what does "^o)" means?

Here's the situation: My cousin, a 35 year old male, lives in Chicago. I live in Cleveland. Two weeks ago, he went to the Justice of the Peace with his fiance and they were married. My aunt (his mother) wants to have a reception for him in Ohio because most of my relatives live here. My cousin is a very successful business man in Chicago and has everything he needs. I have no idea what to get them as a gift. I don't know their interests, where they shop, what they like to eat. I'm not very close to my aunt and I'd feel weird asking her for a suggestion. I only want to spend $30-$40. Any gift ideas?

I am giving my niece and her soon to be husband money for their wedding gift. How much would be appropriate? I thought 50 bucks would be ok, but thought about 100 as well. The wedding is saturday, and I don't want her to be disappointed.
