I'm just curious as to what flowers should be done for the wedding?

My girls [and I] are having simple flowers. They'll either carry a single rose or three and I'll either carry three or six - all with the babies breath & tied with a ribbon.

Other than that, what flowers are supposed to be at a wedding? Please don't say, "Whatever you want!" because that doesn't help. Are there supposed to be other flowers at the ceremony? What about the reception? It's going to be at my Dad's house, outside.

Describe your most horrifying wedding experience. What went wrong? (It doesn't matter if you were in the wedding part, or came as a guest, I want to read about a wedding that really turned into a mess.)

Me and My fiance' have this pastor, wonderful man, he does not want anything for his service to wed us. We really want to give him something. He won't take money, he will give it right back to us. But we want to show our feelings and a way of saying thank you. This man is wonderful, he has bent over backwards for us. what would you suggest that we give him?

I was just at a wedding and I like how they did their favors- 1 item and 1 candy per guest. I already bought perfect pair candles for mine and though it would be nice to little boxes of jelly belly beans in pear flavor - mixed with other "fall" flavors. Here the question- I like to do everything in advance but if I am using jellybeans- How far in advance could I make them? Do jelly beans get stale or go bad?

I recently was married and it was a low-key affair. Alot of people just a non-formal dinner and such. After the wedding and getting home we of course opened our gifts and after opening them I realized I didn't get even a card from my sisters(Who I am very close to).I am not really a materialistic person so the gift itself is inconsiquential. One of them contributed a great deal to the planning and setup of the wedding and while I don't know exactly probably some financial contribution. She is ussually very good about giving cards and such. The other is a little down and out with finances right now and did give me a card earlier so I didn't expect anything, My wife fears that things may have been lost in the shuffle. Do I question them and chance insulting them? or do I not and chance that if their card or cards got lost than other less forgiving guest may have also been misplaced and will not get specific thank you cards for their gifts?

I wasmarried a year ago+1day today and had a very disappointing 1st anniver. I was told not to say a piece of my wedding cake by the bakery because they would make me a mini wedding cake for my one year anniver. I did just that and when I asked for my anniver. cake,I called 2 weeks before as instructed and was told they don't keep records and what type of cake was it they said ok it will be ready for me the day before my anniver. My husband and I went to pick up the cake and the cake was not even the same color(mine was a white buttercream frosted this was a chocolate) they said there was nothing they could do, we took the cake just to have a cake for our special day. My husband called back and they said we don't make special cakes for the 1st anniver. you got your cake. I thought the whole point was to have your wedding cake on your 1st anniver. I had been to several bakery's and they were all advertising this "free" 1st anniver. cake Victoria Sweets triangle area, NC

My fiancee and I decided not to go crazy with getting each other a wedding gift however, I feel like I should send her a little something the morning of the wedding day. Anyone have any ideas from past experience? I was thinking having one of my groomsmen bring her flowers but I feel like thats boring.

Groom is our cousin, but kids call him "Uncle." We are a small but close family, and to date, the kids have been involved and/or invited to all the family weddings. Bride is 41 & this is her first wedding too; she has said "no kids invited." No flower girls, no ring bearer, no jr bridesmaids, etc. My girls are 14 & 11 and very mature. Money is NOT the issue. I'm hurt and want to skip her shower. Kids are hurt, as they wanted to see their "uncle" get married. 90 yr old grandma of groom is devasted the whole family won't be at reception. Your thoughts on this couple and on a fitting shower gift if you think I should go. Will award points for best answer. Thanks.

One of my best friends is getting married. We've kept in touch over the years and she's back home and getting married. My ex best friend who I haven't talked to in a few years got married 2 years ago and will also be there. I'm the only one left out of our little group who is single with no prospects in sight. Everyone has become reconnected and they all seem "closer" than ever. It will be family and everyone else is coupled up. I am happy for them but don't want to be "singled" out because of my "singledom".

Is it even worth my time to go all alone? There's no chance of the situation changing before then. I was only invited because I ran into her at her job and she felt obligated to invite me, the wedding is less than 2 weeks away. I haven't RSVP'd the invited came over the weekend. Help!!!

OK I need to know if I'm being out of order here.

We get married one Saturday next May and I have just found out a good friends of my husband to be is getting married on the Sunday ( Its a bank holiday).
Problem is I don't want to go to a wedding the day after mine - it's meant to be a special day and that should at least last a weekend! He however, wants to go and is refusing not to. I'd rather we spent our first day as man and wife together, not watching someone else get married.

Am I being unreasonable and what should I do?

We are getting married in June next year.

My future MIL thought it would be a great idea if we stayed at the same hotel they are (on a different floor of course), and meet up for breakfast. She emailed this suggestion to me, but i've been away for a week and didn't get a chance to reply. I now have an email saying that she's made the bookings - she even has a breakfast reservation number! So keen is she for us to stay that she's offered to pay.

This is very kind of her, but i couldn't help but find out some more details, so i contacted the hotel. The rooms are in fact next to eachother, and we are booked in to a Spa Suite, and she, her husband and daughter (11) are in the Queen Premier.

I'm fairly uncomfortable with it all. Is it weird to not want to spend our wedding night in the next room to them, or even in the same hotel? I'm also not keen on the breakfast either. I feel ungrateful if we decline her offer, would we be wrong to?

My fiance isn't fussed either way >.<

Hi folks,
Do you guys recommend any places for getting invitations for a bridal shower that would look decent and not so overpricy?
I checked out Papyrus the other day and I picked up a couple of boxes of the imprintable pack. So basically its colored with a design but no printing on it. The cards I picked up cost $20 a box and Paprus charges $20 for as a print set up fee and then $1 an invite. Is that ok or expensive? Any other suggestions? Can I get them printed somewhere else or any other places where I can get invitations..I would rather get one with a background I like and then print our own custom words on it..

I am getting married this summer. I mailed out the invitations two months ago (its a destination wedding). I sent my aunt, who I really dislike -she is a prime candidate for Jerry Springer - an invitation with her and her sons name on it (at no point did I write "and guest") She in turn, sends back the response card stating there will be 4 people coming (her on again off again boyfriend who she knows I hate) and her friends daughter. I sent back a very nicely written note stating that only the names that are listed on the invitation are invited and not to invite people that I haven't. Either way, I found out that the 2 people I don't want there, still have every intention of coming. Not once did she ask me if they could come, she just assumed.And I know I shouldn't have invited her, but, I was obligated (thats a whole other story). My family is split over what I should do, any advise?

I was just wondering if a friend got ripped off

So let me give you a little background. My Fiance and I live together with my daughter, and last xmas his family came b/c they knew he was going to purpose. His sister, bil, and new baby stayed at our house, and his mom and step-dad stayed at my future sil's. I was feeding 11-13 people. Everyone was in my house, eating, and causing messes and whatnot, and nobody helped me do the dishes or pick the house up except my fiance. His sister, bil, and neice had asked to stay with us (which is not a problem in my book. They are both in the wedding, and it would be fine with me.) I told my fiance that I was worried, that the week of the wedding, I was going to be picking up after them, and told him, I was concerned about that, since so many people are coming, and going to want to see our house, I would like it to be presentable. He backed me up 100%, and she said she understood, until yesterday. Now she is getting a motel, and bitching to his whole family. Am I being a bridezilla, was it ok?

A friend of mine got married last week. She had asked for gift vouchers for a certain shop. As we live no where near the shop/branch I didn't get any! However, she is really very comfortably off and has a beautifully furnished and decorated home. I thought it might be nice if I do a beautiful wedding sampler for her, in the colours of the bridesmaids dresses, and personalise it with their names and date of the wedding. I'm thinking of having it nicely framed too.

Do you think she's likely to appreciate the time and effort gone into their totally original present - or should I have given her money?

My fiance and I have just gotten engaged and set a date for the wedding. I really want a co-ed bachelor-bachelorette party, but he claims I am ruining the guys fun by doing this. With my fiance he dated a stripper for two years and has a past for frequently visiting strip clubs with these same guys but claims I have nothing to worry about because he "loves me" so why would he do something to jeopardize that? SO to the guys out there. Is there a risk he would be getting special treatment at the bachelor party on his last night of being a "free man"??

The bachelor party is going to be in Atlantic City and I don't drink or gamble and don't think strip clubs are cool, so I would have a terrible time and just waste my money chipping in for everybody else's expenses. I'm in my brother's wedding party despite not being very close with him. He knows that I don't have any other plans that night. He'll probably be offended if I don't go, but I'll be miserable if I do go. How should I go about getting out of it?

I really like the idea of a New Years Eve Wedding. What do others think?

I am nervous that some people won't come. b/c they might have other plans. However, if we send Save the Date cards, than perhaps we will be their only plans. I mean, I think attending a wedding on New Years Eve would be fun. You can't beat free food and open bar...hahaha.

What do people think? If you were invited to a New Years Eve Wedding, would you attend. Why or Why Not?
