Weddings - June 2007

i remember seeing old photos from my family where the bride wore two dresses. one for the ceremony and another for the reception. sometime si was one dress but the skirt came off to reveal a different skirt.

Do people still do this?

I'm looking for a video that explains to my fiance's three year old what he will be doing at our wedding (ring bearer). I know there are a lot of books, but I'm looking for a video. I also know Amazon had a video called "Wedding Kids," but the title isn't available at this time. If anyone knows where I can get a copy or something similiar, please let me know. Thanks a bunch!

I have 2 very good male friends and would like them to be in it. But my fiance is having his best friend as best man, brother as groomsman.. and that's all we know so far.

I only have my MOH and a bridesmaid though.

I was recently at a wedding and when the bride got up to throw the bouquet.... her twice divorced mother got in the group. Many people cheered her (the mother) on, but some of us thought that this was in poor taste. What do you think?

My husband and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary in May. He still hasn't given me an engagement ring or a wedding ring! I think, personally, that this is a little ridiculous, and it's kinda starting to tick me off. I mean, it makes me feel pretty worthless, like I'm not even worth that! I've dropped so many hints and flat out told him that I want a ring! I've printed off pictures off of the internet and given them to him, and everything! Heck, I've had his children, take care of his home, and until recently, worked twelve hour shifts to help support our family. Doesn't that warrant something? It's kid of embarrasing when you go into a store with your kids, and when you go through the checkout line, the cashier sees my kids and automatically looks at my left hand in search of a wedding ring. My friends and family all ask about it too, and my friends all have gorgeous engagement / and/or wedding rings. I just feel like he thinks I'm worthless because of this? What to do?

I will be getting married in a year...I'm 34 so you wouldn't think this would be an issue! My father LOATHES my step-father- I am not afraid of a scene, but I want desperately for him (dad) to feel comfortable. My step-father is oblivious that my father doesn't like him (long story)...aside from seating them apart- which will happen! any other suggestions? (My reception is going to be outside, but the space isn't huge....any advice would be appreciated!!

Let me know what you think! It only cost me $99 - I was thrilled to find a good one for so cheap! I wanted a simple dress yet one that is still beautiful at the same time. I want to look great and I need some honest opinions on the dress from people who aren't going to worry about my feelings. Thanks guys!

Yes, that is me in all those pictures. And I had to hold the back of the dress because it needs to be taken in at the top... that's why I'm standing like that!

My fiancee's cousin has made her a bridesmaid in her wedding. In fact, all of the bridesmaids are cousins of the bride. Our wedding will take place next August and my fiancee feels bad because she has already chosen her bridesmaids and NONE of them are family. They consist of friends who were there for her at some point throughout the good and bad times of our relationship. She says she would like her family to have SOMEthing to do at our wedding but she feels as though they don't really belong in the bridal party. Also adding fuel to the fire, is the fact that 2 of her 3 brothers will most likely be groomsmen. In my personal opinion, she shouldn't feel bad because these chicks don't even know my first name but I do understand why she feels bad.

So what do you think is the remedy to this situation? Should my fiancee feed bad? Is there something they could do at the wedding that will make everyone happy?

When my husband and I first got married, we didn't have any money. In fact, my mom payed for the small ceremony we had and our next door neighbor supplied the reception (Mac 'n' cheese, bar-b-q smokeys and non-alcoholic champaign). None of our families, save my mother, could be there. So, we had an idea that, in a couple of years, we could renew our vows and basically have a big wedding for our families. My husband likes the idea, but there's just one problem. My mom, my husband and I are the only ones on both sides of the family who aren't Christian. We aren't going to have a pastor or crosses, in fact we'll probably hire a wiccan priestess. I already know that my dad and step mom were hoping to have me married in the Catholic church. I'm afraid that our relatives will be either too uncomfortable or simply won't come at all. What should I do?

I can imagine remarrying after a first failed one, but continuing after a second failed one? I don't get that.

My fiance and I are middle-aged, and fairly well off. Any blenders, ice cream makers, etc. I want, I've already bought. Although I'm moving next year and expect to buy a few new things. At my age and income level, I'm tempted to not have a registry. OTOH, I read on this board that people find it frustrating, and tacky (implying you're asking for cash) if you *don't* have a gift registry.

I've investigated honeymoon/travel registries. I like the idea, but they seem to be ripoffs as they help themselves to a hefty percentage. And I know about charitable donation registries.

Is it better for a middle-aged couple to have or not to have a registry? Any ideas will be appreciated.

Please help! I'm a date of a guest to his family member's wedding, here's what I know...it's in the late afternoon/evening, inside, but not at a church and the reception is at an Italian restaurant where the family is going to "drink." Haha, gotta love those plans. My date said, it's not too formal. He's going to wear a light-colored suit. So my options are...

A black chiffon type halter dress that is barely above my knees. It has gray and tan flowers on it and a little beading. I would wear light colored, fun earrings to dress it down a little. Or a cream dress with brown floral print made of kind of a jersey fabric. It looks like a halter from the front, but is a racerback. Hits at my knees.

The first one I guess I'm nervous is slightly formal, but think it would go nicely with a light suit. Also it's about a half size too big. The second is a little more fun, but would it match? Also, I don't have shoes or a purse for that one yet! Any opinions would be great!

She is more involved in helping with the wedding than even my own mother, but she keeps complaining to everyone in her family about how horrible I am because I'm not giving her enough involvement. It started because my mom bought the flower girl dresses and she wanted to make them but it was too late. She's even calling her son (my fiance) behind my back and talking bad about me. HELP!!!

I had a horrible and ridiculously short marriage a while back - we were married a month before it fell apart. It was a huge mistake for both of us and it's over now, and we've both moved on with our lives.
I'm dating somebody seriously now and I've been thinking about donating my wedding dress to Goodwill. Right now it's shoved in the back on my closet in the dress bag. I was thinking about trying to sell it because it's a beautiful dress, but I never had it cleaned (he moved out before I even had a chance to LOL!) and it would cost almost $100 just to clean it, to prepare it to sell.
I was thinking I should get rid of it and donate it and then I'd be able to take the tax write-off for the value of the dress.

What do you think?

With using adult woman socks? Would it be horribly tacky? I design socks for a living which is why I though this was a great and different idea….. Plus I get lots of free socks.
I was thinking I could make bouquet for the bridesmaid for an extra gift for the rehearsal dinner but when I started looking around people are doing some amazing stuff with sock bouquets. So then I started thinking about the centerpieces- right now our centerpieces are own by the cater and they are just little plain white lanterns. What do you think… keep with my original idea (just bouquet for the bridesmaids presents) or expand it (centerpieces)?

umm we are trying to figure out my Aunt's wedding gown; what we found out was it was discontinued or it wasn't going to be made anymore. It has little beading on the bodice and skirt, a line skirt, and the sleeves are like bells and have like fake pearls on them. I need to know?

Neither me, nor my boyfriend are religious, but I'm a member of my old church back home. We're looking to get married next summer, and I know that it would mean a lot to my family to get married in a church, since they're all religious. Since I do belong to the church, and it's a beautiful place to hold a wedding, would it be appropriate for us to get married there? I don't just want to do this for my family, or for the ease, but it just seems that since I know the pastors at that church that it would be more personal. My boyfriend likes the idea, but since we're really not religious, would it be alright?
