Weddings - July 2007

We're getting married in the church. He's not catholic. Can't you you just not serve communion instead of taking the pre cana classes?

my mom still insists that our invitations be worded "jane & john smith along with jane & john brown request your presence at the marriage of their children...". instead, my fiance and i decided on "together with their families, julie smith & tom brown request the honor of your presence at their wedding...". my mom feels that this means she's not going to be acknowledged at our wedding, which isn't true, but we want our invites to reflect the fact that WE are paying for our wedding, not the bride or grooms families. any ideas on how to word the invites? am i wrong in wording them this way?

Heather Snively was the wedding planner on the episode. Tracy French was the other planner on the episode. The dress had beading and a champagne-colored sash with a long train. Please help! It is the wedding dress of my dreams and if I find it I know I will buy it for my wedding!

She completely a mess with things but she doesn't want help she wants someone to do it for her. How do you deal with someone who can't get her sh*t together. Her wedding is 6 months from now... nothing is booked or planned and she wants a HUGE fancy wedding. I am the maid of honor and I have been hiding from her because I just can't handle her.

Having memories of us somehow put together at each stop that she can find with more clues to the next, then me waiting for here at the last place? Any other suggestions?

Size and cost is obvious. What side of town it's on is obvious, but what do people forget to look into when they buy a house? I don't want to get a house and then get mad because I should have analyzed something first.

We are recently engaged and I have begun the initial stages of wedding planning. I've been looking at churches and flower arrangements, picked a dress and bridesmaid dresses, and started outlining a budget. He's done nothing but promise he'll help. Because of his family, we have to have a huge wedding(400-500ppl) which means there is a limited amount of cites we can use with our budget. I've been asking him to help but he's more concerned w/ work projects right now. We're getting married next spring and one reception hall we liked is already all booked up so time is running out to make this work. His mom doesn't want us to book a hall until she has a rough guest count, which is fine with me because she didn't know we were booking stuff already because he didn't tell her (like I asked him to).
So I'm asking, how do I get him to put this as a bigger priority than work for a couple of weeks and understand we have to do this stuff now?! Help!!

I just got engaged in July *yay!*, but I won't be getting married for another 2 years or so. When should I have an engagement party? Also, I'm going to have professional pictures taken of us to swend out to friends and family as announcements for the engagement, so when should I do that? Should I wait until we have decided on a definite date?
Does anyone know where I could find engagement announcements?
Thanks!

I wanted to have a private wedding (no attendants but the two witnessess necessary and the preacher) then, a traditional reception with cake, announcement of bride and groom, dancing, etc. However, I was recently informed through the Yahoo Answers that people would think that I only wanted gifts, and therefore it would be totally rude. I don't care about gifts, and the only reason for a public reception is to placate all of the people who aren't coming to the ceremony and also to celebrate my union.

So, what is better manners:
1) to not have a reception at all since I want a private ceremony
2) have a reception but make it clear in the invitations that no gifts will be necessary
3) have a "party" but don't call it a wedding reception or treat it as such; just invite over friends/family for a party after we marry (at a private destination)

Any suggestions?

My fiance's sister is one on my Matrons of Honor (because he wants her in the wedding). My daughter-in-law s the other one. Finace's daughter is Maid of Honor. Not one of these gals has even offered to help. Daughter moved to Arizona to live with grandma, Daughter-in-law made favors and I only talk to her when I call her, and Fiance's sister won't even let me see he bouquet! I made all the other bouquets, but hers. I let the girls buy their own dresses. They had the colors and got to choose whatever they wanted. That worked out pretty well, the dresses are lovely with wonderful colors. But I can't get these women to do anything. They just want to be there to look pretty with no responsibilities. I can't un-invite them as much as I'd like to. You guys always suggest don't do it all yourself, but what am I supposed to do? I sat down last night and cried for no reason. I'm not a young bride, I'm 49. The best man bowed out at the last minute, I'm really getting frustrated. Advice Please!

I recently took photos for a friend of my aunt's. It wasn't her wedding, but her daughter's. I only charged her $70 because all she wanted was the pictures on a CD. Now that she realized she doesn't have her photo editing software, she asked me to edit them, which I have no problem with. The problem I have is SHE WANTS A FREAKING NEW FACE! Literally, she wants me to fix her bangs so that they're "a little above [her] eyes" because she didn't have a chance to get them cut before the wedding. She also wants all her wrinkles removed and the color on her face and neck evened out. I don't mind doing small blemish corrections, but this is out of line. How can I tell her that I'm not comfortable making the photos look unnatural. I don't mind removing zits or SOME minor wrinkles, but she basically wants me to make her look 22 again. Oh, and she's not paying extra for this. I have 400 pictures to edit, and I'm doing it for free on my free time after my FULL TIME job.

My fiance and I are getting married in Oct but have been thinking lately that we want something more private. I've heard of people going to the courthouse to get married and having a ceremony and reception on a decided date. Is this a good idea to make things more memorable? Would I have to tell friends/family or could we leave them in the dark and have a "do-over" later on? How will the wedding invites have to be changed around (as I'm mailing those in August), if at all? Just interested in other peoples thoughts. Thanks!

My best friend is getting married in a little over a month and I was originally planning on bringing my boyfriend.... but then we broke up.... it was a bad break up.....

But THEN we reconciled and we're cool now (not back together, but cool)....

my best friend has always had a problem with ALL the guys I date... and she knows about the break up, she knows I was upset, but she doesn't know the whole situation....

When I told her that we were talking again and that he was going to take me to her wedding again she flat out told me that he wasn't allowed at her wedding.....

She BASICALLY told me to chose between her and him.

Me and him have realized how immature we acted during the break up and have come to the conclusion that we are going to work hard at fixing what we screwed up. We're being mature about it, and for her to do that is throwing a bolt into some smooth working gears.....

What should I do about her telling me he can't come.... then I have NO one to come....

I read what people write about their bachelor parties on here and I get worried. I couldn't imagine my fiance going out with the purpose of being turned on by the naked body of a whore, or anything worse. It would kill me inside and I would have trouble feeling the same way for him ever again, and all trust would be lost, something very important for sustaining your relationship....

I do trust him, it's the hoochies who push themselves onto the drunk bachelors and the group of guys pushing him to cheat in celebration of his last single night that I don't trust... way too much pressure from everyone around him.

If the guy has been a faithful loving partner up to this point and is madly in love with their girl, why do his friends expect and push him to cheat? Do strippers usually try to hook up with your man on their night? Has anyone else dealt with this situation, if so how? What makes a guy cheat on this night? How can these hoochies be so disrespectful?

Yes...8...some of them not my choice...
1 is my sister, 2 are friends, 3 are future sister in laws and 2 are cousins...
My house is 45 minutes from the Church but 5 of the 8 bridesmaids live 15 minutes from the Church. Do I ask them to drive all the way down to my house to get ready? I don't necessarly NEED them to get ready with me but I'm thinking that THEY would like to.
OR...should I get a hotel in the city where they live (along w/ my parents etc) and just get ready there and all head to the church together?

For the bachlorette party the plan is to take the bride out for dinner and drinks before the Big night out on the town, so do I still bring a gift? I don't know if this matters but the bridal shower is the next day. A co-worker told me that if I'm a bridesmaid I just have to help with the cost of the bachlorette party and take a gift to the bridal shower, but that a wedding gift isn't necessary. Is that correct?

I am getting married soon to a wonderful Christian man of whom my incredible father approves. The woman who birthed me (my father's first wife) shall not be present, as she is Satan incarnate. My true mother is Mama Carmen, my father's second wife. Wives three, four and five shall also be present, but have not had nearly as much influence on me as I was growing up. My father shall escort Mama Carmen to her seat, but I think all the other wives should walk sedatly down and take seats behind my father and Mama Carmen. They want to sit in the first bench and they also wish my father to walk them to their seats. There are no other men but my father to escort women, but I only want him to escort me and Mama Carmen. Am I being selfish?

I am gonna pop the big question to my gf and am buying a ring from USA and having it shipped to Australia. The problem is they will only ship to the address on the credit card account and if it arrives at my house she might find it as we live together. I was gonna ask a friend to pay with his credit card, then pay him in cash, but don’t want him to end up in the middle if something goes wrong with the transaction. Otherwise they will take bank transfer but it is a lot more risky and it is an online transaction so it is already risky. What should I do? Any ideas? p.s. it is from http://www.diamondsonweb.com/
