ok, so apparently the Best Man has wasted all his money on stupid crap, and says he can't afford to drive himself to our ceremony location where we are meeting on Friday, (day before my wedding)
So he says he has to ride with his parents... and wont be able to make it on time (3:00) and we cannot change the time, because we have a set schedule of different things to do that day.
He has known for 9 months what day we were getting married and dont you think he should have saved some money?
If he rides with his parents , then what is the bridal party supposed to do after the ceremony when the bridal party was all suppose to go together to a different location for pictures?

I'm so frustrated with this lazy idiot right now (if he wasnt my fiance's brother, I think I'd have kicked his lazy *** out)

So what do you say to someone to get their asses to take care of themselves on Fri & sat? If he rides with his parents, he wont make it to the rehearsal/dinner OR pictures after ceremony

We are having a bridal shower for a bride who eloped. We also want to make a post-bachlorette party the night of the shower. First of all do you think this is tacky? Second of all, we need a catch phrase to put on the invites so it's not as tacky having a post-shower/bacholorette party!

Would that be improper use of the mails?

A good friend of mine recently asked me to be a Bridesmaid in her wedding; however, I am not the Matron of Honor. I was just wondering what exactly my responsibilities are. Obviously I will help with planning the bachelorette party.

What should I do as far as a wedding gift? Should I get them a gift, or give money like everyone else?

Also, what do I help pay for. I know I have to purchase my bridesmaid dress, and help pay for the bachelorette party, but what else?

Getting married in short notice. October. Expecting alot of guest. Most of whom are family and close friends. Some are wealthly, some are middle class and some are college students or low-income.

I don't want to make anyone feel obligated to buy an expensive gift who doesn't know me that well or cannot afford to.

I was thinking of registering at a place like Target or Wal-Mart. Is that cool? I want to be thrifty in every possible way. Including on behalf of others.

Your thoughts

My sister-in-law is getting married on August 10th and has just started to plan her wedding, and has asked for my help. She wants to do a medieval themed wedding with castles and dragons. So far the only ideas are to do a castle shaped wedding cake and pewter dragons for table centerpieces. She wants light purple, green, and white for her colors. And she loves lilacs but they aren't in season in August. The reception will be indoors in a church's multi-purpose room. The only thing provided are tables and chairs. I would appreciate any and all ideas!

Awhile ago I posted a question asking what I should do with an outrageously nasty bridesmaid (my fiancee's cousin, whom I graciously asked to have stand with me). None of us had any inkling what the spoiled rotten prick would do. Long story short, she verbally trashed everything we planned, complained about the dresses, the rehearsal, our decision to have a Jack & Jill, etc..). I had asked if I should give her the boot or talk to her and tell her how I feel. Well, I sent her an email since she can't return a phone call. Only to find out she twisted all of my words around, and told everyone she felt left out of the planning and me and my bridesmaids are doing everything without her ( we haven't done anything but go to the fittings and have lunch - which she refused to join), and that I'm not letting my fiancee have a stag (not true - we decided to have a big beach bbq for all of our friends instead), and has basically twisted everything around to look like I'm leaving her out of things, and now her mother is on my case. This is really hurting me (so hard to explain in words how I am),but I'm one of the most easygoing people ever, I haven't asked anyone to do anything, and I let the bridesmaids choose what they felt comfortable with. I guess I really don't know what to do - I haven't had anyone treat me like this since grade school! If I did something to provoke it, I'd admit it, but I'm lost. I have continuosly tried to get in touch with her, but she says she has a baby and has no time to do anything. But yet she's twisting the truth, saying I'm excluding her. Asking her to step down is not an option now - it would probably cause more strain. My fiancee's mother is also battling cancer and I don't want her to have any grief. But this is supposed to be such a happy time, and one person is making it unhappy. I don't think I can control myself if I try to talk to her. Do I ignore her until the wedding (4 months, and we rarely see her), or is that poor etiquitte on my part? Or should I allow my other bridesmaids, who are now furious with her, to follow through on their threats of itching powder...etc...how would you handle it?

If you are having a black tie wedding do that mean you do not wear a hat even the brides mother ,secondly when invitations are being sent out you do NOT send invitations to the two sets of parents or siblings on each side of the family that is automatic I am referring to the traditional wedding .

A co-worker of mine got married about a year ago. She had a lovely bridal shower, which I attended, and a very small wedding, with only family attending. The couple had originally wanted to have a much larger, more lavish ceremony, but rushed to the alter because she was pregnant. Now, a year later, the couple and their parents have decided to have the lavish ceremony and reception that they had wanted in the first place, with all thier family and friends in attendance. I think that's great, but when I recieved my invitation, I noticed that the couple has registered AGAIN for gifts and is planning on having a 2ond bridal shower. I think this is incredibly tacky, seeing as they had one just a year before and are technically already married. Is it me, or is this just wrong???

I invited 40 people, but only 10 RSVP'd (most No's). I'm so afraid that it will only be my immediate family. I am also really scared because I think the same thing will happen at my wedding. It seems as though no one is RSVPing.

So... my fiance and I have decided not to have alcohol served at the reception because we've both had a lot of family problems/history with it and don't want anything to happen... We've had a TON of complaints from family members, saying that not having an open bar is rude to those who want to drink.

Should we give in so that everyone will stop whining about it and risk a situation from developing, or stand firm and tell everyone to deal with it? We're just really uncomfortable with the thought of some of our family members possibly getting drunk and starting something at the reception.

Hey girls,

Tell me, from a bridesmaid/MOH point of view: What made a friend/family member's wedding a joy to be part of the bridal party? What made it a nightmare? Tell me your Wonderful Bride stories and your bridezilla stories.....

I'm a bride to be, trying to keep my Matron of Honor, my Bridesmaid, and my two stepdaughters in mind with my decisions for my wedding. I am NOT paying for their dresses/shoes/etc (I can't afford it, sorry)...but I've just given them a color at David's Bridal and I'm having them each choose whatever dress style they want in the same color. This way they can be comfortable in their dresses, and choose something that flatters their different body shapes.

They are going to all wear white shoes in whatever style they like...they can buy the shoes wherever they want, so they can have shoes to wear again in the future.

I'm looking for other ideas to make it more a pleasure than a chore, to be part of my wedding party.

I'm the maid of honnor in a wedding and am planning a wedding shower. The grooms mother was invited. And today I got an email from the groom RSVPing for HIM and his mother. He was not invited the invitation had only his mothers name on it. The shower is women only. How do I handle this? Is it okay to tell him he's not allow that it's women only? I'm not sure how to go about this, I think it's extremely rude of him to invite himself along.

We live in VA. We're looking for a place preferably without a long waiting period and where it will be easy to find an officiant. We're moving to the UK and I cannot start my student dependent visa application unless we are in a legally sanctioned union. (as long as its recognized by the state its given in the UK will recognize it)

My wedding is going to be at a very prestigious resort, and no one will be expected to be drunk. All of my guests know this is to be expected, so does anyone think it's necessary to have an open bar? I just don't want to have to pay for an entire bottle of liquor if only one person is drinking gin and tonics or something. Is a beer-wine-champagne bar better for this situation? Thanks!

My fiancé is insisting on inviting her ex to our wedding. I told her that this will make me uncomfortable but she says she wants her friend there. She is friends with his wife. Now I know she will not cheat on me and if she did it would not be with him but I still feel uncomfortable about him being there. She says that I am not taking into account how she would feel telling one of her friends that they can not come to our wedding. I suggested his wife come with her brother or a friend and she said that she won’t come without her husband.
I am looking into buying a weekend getaway package to anonymously giving to them that would require them to be out of town that day. I am talking about a nice romantic weekend at a bed and breakfast near them. Is this being to sneaky? Being direct with her doesn't work. Being honest with her on how I feel and even admitting that my feelings are irrational doesn't work.

We are eloping in a few months, and the family is throwing a party for us after we get back from Vegas. I have a friend that I've known forever, but we go stretches where we lose touch because of moving, life, etc. I havn't talked to her in a couple years but I always consider her to be one of my best friends because I've known her over 20 years and we grew up together. The thing is she has one of those personalities where she can do things that embarrass me when we go out. I'm not talking like table manners, but like throwing a hissy fit or starting a fight in a restaurant or bar. I'm afraid someone will say the wrong thing at our party and she will fly off the handle! Should I invite her anyway or just let it go, since I havn't talked to her in a while anyway? I dont want her to be hurt that I invited others but not her, but I dont want her to embarrass me in front of my "new" family! Anyone have experience with this?

Me and the love of my life have been together for almost 3 years now, we live together have pets together, and we have tossed around the idea of getting married to the point that he randomly around the house calls me his wife and little stuff like that. However almost his entire family has had atleast 1 divorce so he shy's away when it actually comes down to asking me to marry him or plan a wedding. I would like to formally ask him, so we can actaully plan this and do it, however I don't want him to feel like less then a guy. He is very old school, "tuff guy" auto mechanic kind of guy so I don't want to make him feel pressured and I am scared he would say "no" if I just ask him at dinner or something.

I do want to have an alcohol-free wedding, but I do want to be a little considerate of the recovering alcoholics in the crowd.

What are some ideas for compromise?
(Other than a cash bar, I think that's kind of tacky.)

Thanks in advance!
