Maybe for a second wedding or non-traditonal wedding, even a first wedding were the bride is really unique. It sounds cool, hands free to hug guests. It's a different concept.

My husband and I both have children from previous marriages so we made all 5 of them a huge part of our wedding ceremony. We gave the photographer a list when we first met with him with very specific photos we wanted taken. He assured us it wouldn't be a problem. There wasn't anything out of the ordinary with our request. Well when we viewed our proofs I noticed that NONE of the photos we had asked for were there! When I confronted him, he said that because of the wedding day schedule he didn't have time to get the ones we wanted. He got all of the traditional pictures, but none with just us and the children. I guess with the day being so crazy and so much to do & remember, I didn't think of it while he was taking the pictures. We can't go back and do it all over again, and the photographer keeps telling me that it's my fault he didn't get to take them. What can I do?

There are some things that my boyfriend had been consistently doing lately that i thought could be sweet but sometimes it makes me scared... i thought i'd ask what you guys have to say....

Everytime my cellphone beeps and i start pressing the keys to reply to SMS.... he blurts out... "who is that?"

There's this anonymous number that keeps on sending messages on my phone... so my boyfriend took the number and texted the guy what he wanted from me.... and it turned out it was just a highschool friend who was married... my boyfriend said he just wanted to make sure it wasn't a stalker...

then one time i told him... i hope he won't change when we're married... because we're engaged.... i told him that i like how he loves me now and i hope he won't change... then he said... "i will love you more... and take care of you... i might not even let you leave the house when we're married.... cause i wanna make sure you're ok".....

opinions pls........ in depth opinions..... pls....

I think the "wedding industry" has hijacked marriage and distorted weddings into this unbelievably materialistic affair, with spoiled "bridezillas" expecting to be treated as princesses.As Miss Manners states, you give the wedding you can afford (whatever that is) with the best grace you can muster, as a celebration that is entirely at your own expense - where did this idea come from that others should pay for it?!? And you are grateful for your friends' attendance - you would never dream of expecting them to put their finances at risk to spend too much to buy you a gift! $300 is ridiculous for the average guest - where did the idea come from that the bride is "entitled" and the guest is rude if they don't measure up to some monetary benchmark? At my wedding, close friends played music as a gift, and gave a small (unexpected) gift besides; others spent from $25 to $100 ($50 average), and I was delighted with everything.I cared more about my guests' good time.

i recently went to a wedding in Jamaica. It was for a long time best friend and few friends and family attended. However there is a reception in our hometown. I was the best man in the wedding and am wondering whether or not to get a big gift or just a card and some money. I have already spent alot of money going to the wedding, but I will feel bad if I don't give them something?

Because you couldn't afford a gift, didn't have something to wear or just couldn't afford to buy a dress/suit?

Or have you been asked to too many weddings at the same time, and did you go to them all, or just a select few?

Your thoughts.

My fiance and I are planning to be married in December. It's his third marriage, my second; he's 40, I'm 39. We both feel it's in poor taste to register somewhere for gifts. We don't really need anything. Is it proper to state on the invitations "your presence is your gift" or something to that effect? We are only having a private ceremony with a celebratory reception the following day for well-wishers to attend if they like.

My fiance and I are getting married soon and we keep arguing about me helping with the wedding decisions and planning. I don't get it! Other guys are shoved aside during this time, why am I getting the hard part of this? I think she is asking for too much, what do you think?

I'm only 17, but I'm in line to be the maid of honor at my sister's wedding in September. Since there was another girl who was supposed to be the maid of honor, I haven't really been involved in anything. I have many questions:

How do I plan a bachelorette party suitable (considering I'm underage and my mom will be there too)

What sort of things do I assist my sister with?

Do I still give her a present? If so, what do I give her?

I'm sure there are many other aspects I have to deal with that I don't know about, yet. PLEASE HELP ME!

My hubby and I got married 4 yrs ago. Two weeks ago his cousin got married and to my amazement/shock he and his bride used our songs in their ceremony. Our songs are not common like Shania etc. etc. They were unique. And to top it off they copied our centerpieces again unique(as i am crafty) and to make matters worse copied our program almost word for word. Am i wrong for being pissed? I feel like they could have come up with their own uniqu ideas for their wedding

My husband and I recently had a baby. His brother on the east coast is getting married in July and has just recently told us they do not want children at their wedding and want to know what we plan to do with our 3 month old baby. We are flying from los Angeles to their wedding in Boston and feel this is entirely inappropriate. In addition to the costs of airfare, rental car, tuxedo rental and finding a babysitter, should we still have to give a gift too? What is the best way to handle this situation?

OK so I now this sounds bad but my Matron of Honor is pregnant and due close to the wedding. When I first asked all my girls to be in the wedding that if any where planning on getting pregnant before the wedding please let me know because there can be health concerns with being pregnant and standing up there to long. (I got that information from a dr and a friend who was in a wedding while pregnant and got shin splints from standing up so long with a flat shoe) She has not purchased her dress yet and I am thinking it will be more expensive then she thought. They do not have alot of money. I need some advice to talk to her. Oh and hear is the worst part she is my fiance sister but we are not real close and I was going to ask her to be a book attendent instead so she would not be on her feet so long.

My sister was married in a formal ceremony in the past and has since divorced. She is currently getting married to her beau of 10 years. They have been living together ,have bought a house and shared a household for those ten years. She is getting married in the Bahamas without any attendees except her 2 best friends. Her only reception is being held out of town from her immediate family.

We received an announcement that included where they were 'registered' for a vast array of home items. I thought this was tacky but was assured this is how things are done.

Is this how things are done? I was going to buy them a completer set for some of her china or her crystal. What's with the towels and the sheets thing?
Thanks

my daughter (D) was asked by her friend (C) to wear a gown to her (C's) wedding.
But she is not part of the bridal party...
When it comes to the photos, i am sure they will only want family in the photos...
why should she be the only one wearing a gown - outside of the bridal party?
Am i right?

My boyfriend & I just got engaged & we live together. We've been living together for a little more than a year now (been together for 2 years) and we just got engaged (YEY!) :O)
In order to get married at my church we have to go through a 9 month pre-marital class. BUT as Christians, it is against the "rules" for us to be living together before marriage. The church suggested the following: 1. we stop living together until we get married (neither of us can really afford to live on our own) 2. we get married (civil), take the course, then get married in the church.
How would that work? Does that take away from the experience? do we wear rings & tell people we're married and then (a year from now) have a wedding??
I'm a little unsure about how I feel about all of this. I feel like it's the right thing to do as a Christian but won't it kinda complicate things? Any thoughts/suggestions?
