Weddings - June 2007

My wedding colors are dark purple (like grape or eggplant), lavender, silver and white (of course).

I thought I would have my bridesmaids where the dark purple and my maid of honor wear lavender but now I am not sure. My wedding is in the summer. What about the mothers? Maybe silver?

I know I (we) want the groomsmen to wear black tuxes with silver ties and vests, but what about the groom? I am thinking maybe he should wear white? Then what about the ring bearer and best man? Do they wear the same as the groomsmen?
I also will have daughter (age 3 at that time) as the flower girl, and my 3 teenage nieces as hostesses.

I guess I am not good at this coordinating thind! Any help is appreciated!

gave him a woman's instead of the man's. Because it's past the 90day policy they have a bougus policy that I can exchange it for double the credit.....

He's happy with the ring, but I'm mad they messed up and won't bend the rules to fix the issue. Should I just keep the ring he has (it's probably like 2 mm instead of 3 or mm) or should I just find another suitable ring? We get married 7-14-07.

And guys...do you suppose he's REALLY happy or just putting up a front?

Me and my stepfather have never got along and I find it dumb to put him on my wedding invitation if he's not even important to me. My mom wants people to know that she's married but I'm not sure if its ok to put Mr. and Mrs. (my moms name), because I think it's suppose to go Mr. and Mrs. (my stepfathers name). HELP!

My fiancé and I are getting married next month and are paying for the entire wedding ourselves. Unfortunately, this means that we are on a very tight budget. Last week, we received two RSVPs from distant relatives, who we’ve only seen once in the last six years. The invitations were clearly addressed to the couple (Mr. and Mrs. XYZ), however, they RSVP’ed for the entire family. This is a problem because we cannot afford to have the entire family, so grinning and bearing it is not an option. How do we politely tell them that we are on a tight budget and have therefore only invited them and not the entire family? Is it better to call them or write them a letter? How should we word it?

My fiance's mother remarried to a guy that lives in a big nice borderline-mansion in West Virginia which is only about 20 minutes away from where we are getting married. I would like to have a casual rehearsal dinner at their house. I am wondering, who all is supposed to be there? The people participating in my wedding are: bride, groom, best man, maid of honor, 2 groomsmen, 2 bridesmaids, 2 ushers, 1 preacher, my dad to walk me down, our moms to light unity candles. Should all these people be there, and is there anyone else necessary such as the guitarist, or pianist?

Does anyone have a funny or horrible story of something that happened to you or someone you know at a wedding?

So I have been with my fiance for 4 years. My in-laws all live 13 hours away ,except my fiances sister who lives in my town about 13 blocks away. I have only talked on the phone with Future MIL when she has sent my daughter gifts and I have called her to thank her for them. I have met her 4 times, during visits. She was there when her son popped the question.My mom in law is a hateful person who hates my fiances dad with a passion. Well she called my one sis-in-law and told her she needed to call me and talk some sense into me, b/c I forgot to invite her husbands "folks". They were never on any list I was given, so I just said "great I will send them one." THen she got upset because we havent asked her to pay for anything. (how are we supposed to know, if she doesnt offer), and she isnt involved in ANY decision making in this wedding. She is somewhat childish, and miserable. Its really gotten me down. How do I deal with her, without being a horrible daughter in law?

my wedding is in 4 months i need a dj and photography and more money. i was just thinking about playing music on our own because the place where we are having a wedding reception has a computer system that can play music on speakers built in the ceiling and as for the photography get one for the ceremony and then have the guest take the pictures at the reception.

when attending a wedding AND the bridal shower, do you just bring one gift, or would each occasion require a gift?

If I invite my co-workers to my wedding (which I've only known for 3 months because I am new to the company, but I really like these girls), do I have to invite their significant others as well? they are either have a husband or a serious bf. Or is it okay to omit their other half since there will be a few of them to keep other company.

Thanks!

P.S. I have never met their other half before.

I've been a friend to the bride for 18yrs. 2 wks. before the wedding I was told by my partner that his daughter didn't want me there and her excuse was honoring her biological mother in this way. The Bride & Groom paid for everything themselves so nobody could have a say in what happeded. Now the wedding is over and my partner has told me that his daughter still wants me in her life but she has yet to talk to me herself. I'm very upset that after 18yrs of being called the other mom, that someone could do this to me. I don't know how to get over this so that we can all be one big happy family again. Or should I just chalk it up as a loss and get on with my life.

I am having a dilemma. My fiance and I introduced my best friend (Ali) to his best friend (Mike) 3 years ago. In that time, Mike has tried to leave Ali 6 times, and each time, they say, "We are going to start over, and see how it works. If it does, it does, and if it doesn't, oh well." Recently, Mike told Ali that he doesn't know if he loves her the way he should, and sees her more as a friend. And, with this, they still are holding their location for their wedding, in May. Again, they are going to "start over".

To me, "starting over", means putting the engagement ring in the box and really start over. We told both of them individually we are stepping down from thier wedding, because we don't believe two people should be getting married who don't love each other, and certainly don't take respect and commitment seriously.

I feel awful, but I can't help people who don't want to help themselves. We really want to be there for them, but don't know how. Any suggestions?

I really like this ring as my engagement ring, but I'm afraid it may look too gaudy. I don't want it to look fake..is it too big? It is 2ct in the center and 1 ct of surrounding stones. Please give me your opinion, particularly people who have experience with jewelry.

My daughter does not wish to be married in a church. The place she wants costs 2.5X more than my husband and I can spend and she is so upset that she won't talk to us. There are guest list minimums, so we can't just have a smaller wedding in the same facility. How can we find a good compromise? There is a nice place here in town where we could give a lovely wedding/reception in one building (I've done the math) but she won't even look at it. She is not able to financialy contribute to the wedding in a significant amount and I have strict budget limits right now. I want her to have a wonderful day and happy memories but I don't know what else to do. What have other families done to resolve a situation like this? Our weather is pretty unpredictable so I really want her to choose someplace with a roof and A/C (I was married in June and it was 95 degrees with no A/C - not pleasant). Thanks for your help!

when my parents already told my brother when the planning started that they were not going to be able to contribute finacially. My future sister in laws (lets call her Ann) mom called my mom one day and said "your half the wedding is $7500", my mom said that they couldn't afford that, Ann's mom then said "well, just sign a contract and when your house sells, you can pay us back", my mom then said no again. At that point, Ann's mom very rudely demanded to speak with my dad, who then said no too. My parents have two other weddings to pay for in the very near future and if Ann's parents had a boy, they would have said the same thing. Ever since then, they have been very rude to my parents and my sister and I, who are bridesmaids, have been left out of wedding related functions. My brother is 26, Ann is 22. They are both old enough to chip in for THEIR wedding (which is $30,000) but my brother doesn't make much money and Ann refuses to work. What do you think?

Due to my pregnancy, my fiancee and I decided to get married one year earlier than planned. Unfortunately, this gives us only two months to plan a small wedding. My family is not American, so we are not familiar with all the details.

On the other hand, my fiancee's family, who are American, suggested a traditional wedding. I've got a feeling that my mom and I have to work out all the details.

I do not even know where to start. Do you think I have enough time to plan a small wedding? I cannot afford a planner, as I have limited budget and my fiancee cannot contribute any money at all.

I would just like a little reassurance that all of the hard work and stress that goes into planning a wedding pays off.

First, my fiance and I planned to have a semi-destination wedding and get married on the beach in California (one state away/6hr drive) with just immediate family, but his family complained and complained and complained until we changed our plans in order to make them happy. We planned a nice wedding here in town. Now his family is complaining that all of his family is not on his guest list (2nd cousins and such). We can't afford to throw a fabulous wedding for 200 people - 150 is our limit and there were some people that we don't even talk to that we had to cut. One of my bridesmaids tells me how much she hates her bridesmaid dress EVERY time I see her... she was there to pick them out. The other girls love them.

I'm just feeling really stressed right now. Everyone says that the day should be about my fiance and I, but it doesn't feel like it.

We are getting married in a small, immediate-family- only ceremony. Three weeks later we are having a reception dinner at a hotel for about 150 guests. Should I wear my wedding dress at the reception?

If he was letting a woman rub all over him anywhere else it would be considered cheating. Why would this be any different just because the girls are paid? What do you think?

And when would it be approrpriate to send out the wedding invitations? I've been told that you have to send both out earlier than usual when you have a destination wedding.

The ladies in the wedding decided that we're all going to go to a strip club together. it's a large group comprised mostly of married or dating couples. I don't want to go, as I have no interest and the entire concept makes me uncomfortable, but my wife REALLY wants to go. (but won't go without me.)
I don't even know what the "proper protocol" for a strip club is, let alone what the rules would be when going WITH your wife.

also, for reference: I don't know if the club is "topless" or "totally nude" but I do know that all the performers are women. apparently nobody thinks that men waving their junk around is sexy. (thank god)
