Weddings - June 2007

if i go 2 to the wedding, wont it show that i support the actually wedding? WHEN I DONT.

Why do i have to attend for? I'll tell her that I'm there for her anyway.
a wedding is just one day, I'll be there for HER for the rest of HER LIFE. So comparing to one day and the rest of her life, whats better?

she wants to marry someone thats very immature:

she's bipolar, everytime she went manic her boyfriend tells her not to take meds or to be hospitalized, (even though she does get better everytime with the help of meds and hospital)

He told her to become a stripper when she was unemployed

He hits her back (bruises), once there was a dent on the wall from their fight

etc.

i hope to God they don't marry because i know he won't take care of her especially when she goes manic.
HES JUST NOT A GOOD GUY 4 her.

So WHY SHOULD I ATTEND THE WEDDING, it's just one day, i will feel SICK if they actually wed., i already do..

Save the date, announcements, RSVP (What does this mean??). What is it that I need to send out? What goes with what? Is there a website that explains this in detail? Do I need to send notes to people I want to be in the wedding? May I just ask them? How soon should I send these? How soon should I get a response?

We are getting married in the mountains on a balacony in July with the reception being inside. We thought it would be less hot without the jacket. But others feel the groom must wear the jacket. What do you think?

Our nephew is getting married this Saturday and we will not be attending the wedding. When we first got the invitation I read it wrong and it is for June, not July like I thought, so I need help. I have no idea what to get them or am I even suppossed to send something since we won't be attending. They were not at our wedding and sent no gift, we don't speak regularly--I've only met him once in the 4 years my husband and I have been together. I'm really not sure about their tastes or likes so I don't know what to get. Just a card, a card with cash, nothing, a gift? Help, quick!

do all engagement rings have to have a diamond? My fiance asked me what i wanted so he could pick the right one and i've decided i'm not really into diamonds. I was kinda wanting the stone to be my mother's birthstone (an aquamarine) because i thought it would be neat to have instead of a white diamond. My mother passed away 2 years ago so i thought it would kinda be a lil more special..... is this weird?

I've been invited to a wedding the week after next and wonder what I should wear. The weather's going to be scorching and I don't want to wear a suit. Is a color dress shirt and tie appropiate for a summer wedding? I'm thinking of wearing a color such as a light orange or pastelish brown and matching tie? There will be a service and a reception right after...What are you guys opinions?

Well I am not exactly a Baptist anymore. I go to a church called Advent Christian Church. It is not the same as Seventh-day Advent though. Anyone have any ideas as to whether this is possible or not?

My grandmother & grandfather are both remarried. Do they walk down the aisle with there new husband & wife or should I let an usher escort everyone down.
See the problem is my grandfather cheated on my grandmother with his new wife many years ago and ended up marrying her. We're now older and have learned to deal with his new wife. However, my grandmother is now remarried as well. I just really don't want my grandfather's wife to walk down the aisle. What would you do? Who escorted your parents & grandparents down the aisle?

A comment another user made about everyone using the same colors for their wedding made me wonder. What colors did you use/are you going to use for your wedding? What made you choose those colors? If you could change, would you and what would you choose instead? What were colors you have seen used at weddings? Have there been multiple weddings using the same colors you have attended? I have heard a lot of the regular wedding posters on Yahoo answers mention some of the same colors, so I want to find out what the general consensus is. Just curious! Thanks guys!

We decided not to do corsages for our wedding. I just think they are an old fashioned tradition and kind of 'fuddy-duddy'. For some reason his brother does not agree at all. My mom asked if we could do without, and his grandmother is glad she doesn't have to wear one. This is what his brother had to say:

"About the flowers..... I didn't mention that to Eric in yesterday's conversation. I asked him about that about a month ago. I asked him why you guys weren't doing them.... Again, not giving my mom, grandmother flowers is disrespectful. This is where Eric came from and not including them in the ceremony is disrespectful. They need to be honored as part of the two families joining together."

How would you respond to that? Or maybe you even think he's right?

My girlfriend/fiance and I are planning our wedding and she would like to see her cousin minister our nuptials. I am Christian, she is Catholic. She says she wants it to be personal as opposed to having some priest/pastor do our nuptials. Her cousin is a gay man that earned his ordained ministership over the internet. I've met him twice at her family outings. He's personal to her. He's some random guy that I've hardly said more than "Hello" to me. I beleive that marraige is the reunion of two souls seperated through birth into this dimension of duality. I beleive that marraige is ordained by God. I do not beleive some gay man that took a test on the internet is qualified to ordain a spiritual union under God. I think that the idea that it is even possible to become an ordained minister over the internet is morally reprehensible and repulsive. What do you guys think about this?

Hello All,
My beach themed wedding will be next April. We have rented a large banquet hall with a stage. The plan at this point is to arrange the majority of the dinner tables in a large horseshoe and have guests already seated at their dinner tables for the ceremony. Immediate family and friends (especially those who need to participate in the ceremony) will be seated in rows of chairs in front of the stage, in the area that will later become the dancefloor. We will walk up the middle of the room on an aisle runner, get married on stage (with an archway and latticework backdrop).....

Then what?? Go right into a dance? Step out of the room? What about a receiving line? How do we transition between ceremony and sending people up to the meal?

Please post answers if you have attended a similar reception/ceremony combination, or if you had one yourself, or are planning one.

I know my bridesmaid would love a gem stone (not diamond) as a gift, we plan to buy her one as a thank you and she can have a piece of jewellery made from it to her taste, what size stone should I be looking for (probably a ring size or small-ish pendant), and please can anyone advise about clarity, I have no idea where to start!! Thank you for the advice....

Hi! My dad has been in prison for the past 12 years, he's missed every important event in my life, including the birth of both of my children. My dad has always meant a lot to me despite our past. However, I would like opinions on him walking me down the aisle.

I wanted to have our wedding in May and my dad is going to be released in August so I was thinking of having a October wedding instead so that he could be present. My thought is that since he has never been there, that having him walk me down the aisle and give me away would symbolize a lot; Basically that he's out, and he's officially giving me away. My fiance, of course, he's fine with this, but would you regret postponing the wedding by a couple of months.

Hello! :)

My mother is deceased, and her sisters and my godmother have decided to throw my bridal shower.

Is there a certain type of thank you gift or gesture that I can do for them to show them how grateful I am for this?? I thought about getting them flowers, but would that be enough?

Hello All,

So, have many of the wedding reception traditions become tacky? For example:

What do you think about the "Cake Smash" that some brides and grooms now seem to think is funny? Is this funny, or offensive?

How about the groom's removal of the garter from the bride's leg? Is this funny, or embarrassing? Then, sometimes, the flower toss winner and the garter toss winner are supposed to get together and the garter toss winner puts the garter on the bouquet toss winner's leg....is this just putting people on the spot?

What about the Dollar Dance? The majority of people on Answers think this is tacky, but it seems to happen at most weddings. Why does this continue?

Do you really recommend "raffling" off and giving away the centerpieces? Do your guests really want to take the centerpieces home??

Lots of questions, I know...but I'm trying to determine which "traditions" to eliminate....

I have always believed you were supposed to spend a months wages on an engagement ring but a few people have said i could spend less or more depending on who you talk to (male female variation!!) and is this before or after tax ha ha. views please.

My mother and father divorced 5 years ago, my mom and I have an extremely close relationship and I am who I am today because of her. I feel it only fitting that she should give me away.

My father and I have never been close, he is a very quiet and reserved man and we have never understood each other. Not to say we don't have a good relationship - we do- but we do not talk very often and have never been very close. Yet I do not want to take this moment away from him, and really do want him to walk me down the aisle as well.

Is it odd to have both escort me?

Does it matter that they are divorced and my mother is just recently remarried? They are civil to each other-get along better now than when they were married!

What are your opinions or suggestions on this? Thanks!
