Weddings - July 2007

My mom didn't attend my wedding that was just over 2 years ago. Her reason for not attending was that she didn't think I should be spending my money on my wedding, even though she didn't contribute any funds. I am having a hard time getting over this and I am just wondering if I have a right to be as upset as I am.

I love the way high heels look but I can barely walk in them, I even trip in one inch heels. I was trying on shoes one weekend at the shoe store and literally tripped up in a pair of heels. I really want to wear them at my wedding, though. Other then the fact that it looks better then wearing flats, I don't want to look so short in my wedding pictures standing next to my fiance who is a foot and a half taller then me. So should I do heels or not?

we are getting married in march and we don't want to spend a whole lot of money. i found a bbq place that does meals for 4.99 a person and they are suppose to be super good. so we are going cheap with the meals. i don't plan on spending more than a 150 on a dress and want to have it at the VFW or a hotel so that it is not so expensive. the flowers i was to be pink and have the bridesmaids have pink flowers in their hair too but i don't really want to spend that much money. i feel like such a cheapa** but seriously is it bad that i want to save my money for more important stuff.

I know u are upset at me & mom. I just want u to know our feelings on the matter. It's important for Scott to be at my wedding b/c the day is about family,& I want him to be there. We will be taking pictures & celebrating, & it will feel like someone is missing if he isn't there. I realize that he may not know who is supervisor is going to be in Sept, but there must be a central location where he can request a weekend off, or he could ask his present supervisor. I also feel that instead of him coming home for thanksgiving – he could come home for my wedding - I invited his parents to the wedding so he can spend time with them. I just feel that if roles were reversed, Scott would want u at his brother's wedding. I can't understand how there is no one that he can talk to to get the time off. I don't want him to lose his job either, but I feel that he's not really making the effort. I am sorry if I am making u upset, I just don't want my wedding to be about Scott coming or not.

My mom is making things impossible for me & my fiancé, Scott. My sister decided to change her wedding date to this Sept instead of Sept ’08. Scott is a Air Traffic Controller and has bid for is vacations. My mom wants him to take time away from seeing his family during Thanksgiving to come to the wedding instead. (we live in IL, they in CT) 1st, when he bids for vacation he is basically stuck and 2nd he should be able to go home for Thanksgiving. I told her the only thing he could do is ask if he could switch his two days off for that week, but they might not say yes. I also told her that he does not know who to ask right now since they are always switching supervisors, and he may be even done training by then, which will change everything. Also, we don't even know if how many of his co-workers asked off for that weekend. My mom has even called his mom about this situation. I just do not know what to do, please help!

We are having black and white at our party, but I want an accent color for a splash of color for flowers, the ribbons for our favor boxes, etc. I definitely dont want red or tiffany blue. I was thinking fuscia, but am not so sure now. Our favor boxes are black, what color ribbon do you think would really POP against a black box?
PS Its a Dec party, so no lavander or summery colors.

My fiancé and I have been together 6 yrs now and his mom & I have always gotten along great, we would email on a daily basis. They live about 75 mi. SW of us so we don't get down there to see them terribly often but it has always been that way. Then at the end of Oct he finally popped the question, since then it has all been down hill, with his mom. I dread getting e-mails from her now & they only come like once a week at most. She is trying to control every aspect of our wedding. We are paying for everything ourselves, that is how we want it & in turn that means we get to do things how we want to, not meaning I don't want suggestions,but she is out of control, her guest list alone had almost 300 people on it! His sister is going to be a Jr Bridesmaid, it took his mom 1 1/2 mths (after the other Girls) to bring her up to get the dress ordered. She's driving me insane, she has become a Mother-In-Law-zilla. I try to put on a smile & bear it but I'm not sure how much longer I can take it!

We are having a last minute wedding and I have been trying to plan for an outside venue. I found a small arboretum where we can have it but it is $250 and everyone will have to be standing during the ceremony... so it will be a kind of relaxed instead of really formal affair, even though we will be wearing a traditional gown/suit... $250 is kind of steep for a short cermony (15-20 minutes) but I don't really care about that.

The only thing I am worried about is guests will then have to drive about 20 minutes to the reception. Is this a big deal?

Am I crazy to think an outdoor wedding on Sept 1 or 2nd is a good idea. I am soooo frustrated because my mom and my fiance are both against this.. she wants the wedding in a church and all he is worried about is the reception and whether we are going to have a dj! (I don't know why he is hell bent on a dj and no one, no one needs to see his dance moves! lol!) This arboretum is the best I can do on a shoe string budget at the last minute!

what should i look for when trying to select the perfect cushion cut diamond? should i concentrate more on finding a square cushion as opposed to a rectangular cushion?

if the dimentions of the diamond are not as close to a perfect square, will the cushion diamond loose some of its sparkle?

This was a topic of discussion among a few friends the other night. We have a friend who was divorced and turned her 2.5 carat, high-quality, engagement ring into a right hand ring. She added smaller diamonds and other gemstones and it is beautiful. She has worn it every day since.

Now, she is getting close to becoming engaged again. Her new b/f makes considerably less money and could not afford a ring like that. She doesn't want her right hand ring to outshine her engagement ring.

Should she retire the right hand ring?

Or....

Would it be okay for her to give it to her new fiance to trade in? Would it be improper? They have already merged finances anyway.

Or...another suggestion? She doesn't want to sell it because you get so much less than the value. I don't think her b/f would care what she did, but sher wants to "downgrade" or get rid of the right hand ring before the proposal.

What do you all think?

I want my sister to be my maid of honor. My best friend is about 20 years older than me and she's never been married. Can I call her my Matron of Honor since she's older, or do I have to just call her a Bridesmaid? There will only be the two of them standing with me. Thanks!

My sister was planning a wedding for just a few weeks from now, and then her fiance got word that his leave had been cancelled, and his deployment was moved up to a week before the wedding. Does the army not care about people's plans/lives?

hi there my future husband has taken out a loan for 1500 and we are wanting to elope here in california. near oceanside or modesto because i live here in modesto and he lives in oceanside. so i was wondering if you guys could find something for me so that we could get our license and get married by a judge or an officient for about 100-150 that would be great because we are using the loan for rings (mine will be 859 and his will be 129) we were going to use the rest of the loan on getting married and then on buying things for our future home. so if you guys could let me know anything at all that would be great. or if you could point me in the right direction i would greatly appreciate it! thanks!

Would it be worth it to buy a wedding ring set made with these? We don't have very much money but would like something that looks real enough and would still last forever. (or until we get money for a real set)
