Weddings - June 2007

A year ago, I asked a friend of mine to be in the wedding. She was so happy I asked, and said yes.

Well, we didn't really talk through the winter, but I kept sending email updates to everyone in the wedding party about the wedding, vendors I used, etc... and I never heard back from her.

Two weeks ago, I get a notification from my dress shop where the girls are getting their dresses and they say that she's not been in, and on top of that, because she's not come in, everyone (who came on time!) must now pay $30 rush fee for the delivery of the dress to be in on time before the wedding. I tried calling the bridesmaid and ended up having to leave a voicemail about this and telling her to get in ASAP!

I tried calling her and calling her and she won't answer, and won't return voicemails where I have BEGGED her to call me back. I finally just said "Screw this!" and replaced her, without her knowing.

Should I have done something different?? I feel like I did everything I could!!

My friends father lost his job... is getting sued... and he doesn't have any cash, plus she never changed her spending habits and now she in credit card dept. Everytime I tell her she needs to get her sh*t straighten out and not blow money on a wedding- she gets mad and points out what I have.

And don't give me a bunch of crap about it's not the ring.. it's the love and marriage.. Cause then your ring is either from walmart or a bubble gum machine.
If you don't like the question then don't answer it!!!!

I bought perfect pair favors and was looking for ideas for the invite to tie that idea into it but all the ones I have seen are cheesy. I hate that cheap black and white image that all the shops carry online. If you know of any or have seen any nice elegant looking invites or ideas- please post the website!
Thanks!!

My boyfriend and i have been slowly hinting around for marriage, but there's a problem. He's catholic and i... not sure really, been in a holiness and baptist and just always said "i'm christian, not specific i worship God by the Bible" not labeling myself you know? Well he wants a church wedding. Can 2 different religion branches get married in a catholic church? Is there any way to make it work and still have a church wedding?

We talked of a destiantion wedding where my immediate (mom & dad, my children & maid of honor & her signifigant other) & my fiancee's immediate (same as mine) would take the trip & have it be an all inclusive deal that me & my fiancee would foot the bill with the exception of their own spending while away. always figured that rather then spend thousands of dollars on a big party for alot of people we barely know to eat & drink just because, we'd be much happier spending the $ on those who mean something to us & have everyone enjoy themselves. However as talks of "our" wedding progress even though we haven't picked a date (early October), acquaintences and some friends have said that it would be rude for them not to get to celebrate too as maybe they could not afford the trip or whatnot. They say we should have another party when we return or before we leave - but that's more $$$ & it's for them - not US. Are we wrong or being rude, selfish or just realistic about what WE want?

He will do it, if I really want him to, but I hate to make him that uncomfortable. My fiance' and his mother are definitely doing their dance. I'm thinking about just having a song 'dedicated' to us, but I don't know what to do while its playing. Any ideas?

my boyfriend says he wants to marry me, but suppose he proposes, then Im engaged right? but is that serious too, or is it only getting married that is the real thing? I mean, are there guys who use an engagement to make their gf happy and then not mean it when it comes to marrying?

So my mom gave me my grandmothers engagement ring and wedding band a few years ago after she passed away, so that i could propose to my old girlfriend. She wore it about one month and then decided that she didn't want to get married. She gave me the ring back one morning and we went our seperate ways. Now almost five years later I obviously still have the ring. I now have a beautiful woman i my life. One in which i am deeply in love with. I want to ask her to marry me eventually and i need to get a ring. Is it okay to use my grandmothers ring that i attempted to give away once before or should i get something new...a clean slate and something more specific to her?

One of my best friends from hs is getting married and asked me to be a bridesmaid. She's Catholic, and I'm not even Christian, so I have no idea of what my responsibilities are. Can anyone help? Oh and also...as a bridesmaid, can I bring a date to her wedding? I'm engaged, and I'd like to go with my fiance...because I won't really know too many people at her wedding....but I also know that one of the groomsmen would be my escort down the aisle. At least that's what I've understood so far...

How do you know if a relationship is for forever? I'm sure everyone that gets married believe that THEIR relationship is forever and that they have found their true love but then end up in divorce. How can you tell when its true and how can you move away from the fear that its not and that it might not work out.

I'll be having a MOH and 2 bridesmaids in my wedding. My MOH is, of course, helping out as much as she can from where she lives, as is one of my bridesmaids. The other bridesmaid, however, has done absolutely nothing to help. I can't even run ideas by her, because when I do, she gives me some answer like, "uh huh, that sounds great, so did I tell you about the guy I met last night?" It's really starting to annoy me. On top of all that, she informed me 3 days ago that she'll be coming in from out of town the day before our wedding, but she's leaving immediately after the reception to go hang out with friends she sees all the time. It's less than 2 weeks to the wedding, and I'm really not sure how to handle this. Any suggestions?

For a "solid" friend of 10 years, how much money should I give as gift for the new couple (we're all pretty young age wise for the whole gift list thing, plus I'm friends with the groom, don't know the bride too well)? I always thought at least $100 was standard & I gave $100 for the last wedding I attended, while bringing a date. However, I am flying solo for this one (didn't even have the option of bringing a guest) and I'm hearing different opinions on how much to give. A little help would be appreciated.

We would like to have something other than just cake, so we're thinking of doing a dessert of some other sort instead of a grooms cake. Would a nice fruit tart work well? Do any of you have better alternative suggestions?

I have two very close friends. The three of us were at one point in time, unseperatable. The first girl, is acutally my cousin. We have been close since childhood. The second is someone I've known for 7 years. I orginally meet her through my cousin, but we have developed out own relationship.

Well, my cousin has been making some poor choices in the past 2 years. My family is very aware of this. They have tried to help her, as have I and our friend. No one can get through to her. She's in her early 20's, no job, no car, dropped out of school, she smokes pot and she has stoled money from me and our friend.

Now, it's time for my wedding. As kids, I promised to make her my maid of honor, b/c she is the closet I have ever had to a sister. However, I don't want to do it anymore. Her behavior is out of control, I know she will not be able to afford the expenses and I'm afarid she will not be reliable. I'm doing lots of DIY, I need my bridal party go give me a
