...or do you expect nothing except to share in the Special Day of people you love?

...did not attend your wedding, did not give you a gift, and said that he/she didn't like weddings, would you kick them to the curb forever?

We are in Ohio now, so anything in the continental US or North America.

So, here is my dilemma...
A friend of mine...who I have known for years recently got engaged. She picked 7 bridesmaids and he picked 7 groomsmen. I however, was not asked to be in the wedding. No big deal didn't really phase me. It's her wedding not mine. Here is the problem. For the past month she has been calling me complaining about one of her bridesmaids and has since kicked her out of the 7. Now she wants me to be the 'replacement'. That is just not the way I want to be asked to be in a wedding., especially by a good friend who I have known for almost 10 years. I guess I feel like our relationship was strong enough that she’d ask me over someone she has only known for 7 months. She has never been one to make the best decisions and to be honest I have my doubts about there even being a wedding. On the other hand...how do you turn that down? Or, do I just suck it up and be in the wedding?
Thanks in advance everyone.

Are the shower and party two different things?

Yesterday at the engagement party my fiance's mother kept telling people she is throwing my bridal party. Is that common?

I'm marrying a black man and my parents are racist. I didn't invite them to the wedding because I didn't want anything bad to happen. But now they're mad at me. What should I do?

As in my previous question, my MOH is flying into my town and hosting a bridal shower for me. She suggested having it at my house to save money. Will people think badly of this?

I am looking for a site to have my wedding where I can feel like a princess for the day. Ideally it would be a place I could have the ceremony and the reception, have a horse drawn carriage, and have a dance floor! I'd love a castle, but am open to ideas. I found a great site - Grand Tradition, but it is 2 hours from LA, and I'm looking for something closer.

I know this sounds stupid but at my brother's wedding, the bride's niece was totally out of hand. It seemed that she had no discipline in her raising at ALL! She was the flower girl and I understand that children are children but during the ceremony she was just stomping all over the alter and yelling and just talking like NO ONE else was there and no one did ANYTHING about it! Then the mother of the bride played a song on the piano and the little girl went over there and started banging on the piano and no one did anything!!! I was sooo shocked! Through everything she was doing, not one person took her aside or told her to be a good girl or anything!!

So now after that happened, I DEF want to make sure that doesn't happen at my wedding, so my question is how do I let parents know, or should i say no children allowed at wedding unless they are babies, or does this sound REALLY rare to happen and most likely people would have done something? Just give me your feedback!

Just for fun!

The worst one for me is that I went to one and all they did is pray and talk about Jesus and how the man is made in the image of Jesus so he rules the house and on and on.
Little uncomfortable for myself since it was a different religion then my own and I have never seen a shower become a bible meeting.

My fiancee and I had dinner with both our families. I thought everything was a bit tense, but didn't think anything "big" was wrong. I call him this morning, and he tells me he is upset about our last gathering--but just didn't want to speak up at dinner.

Although I am an adult, with a great job and a mature attitude (at least I think so...), I value my family's input and opinions. I am very close to my mom, so what she says, I tend to listen very seriously to...I don't always go with her opinion, but I like her input. For instance, my mom personally has reservations about him, but I decided to get engaged anyway.

My fiancee tells me that it is OUR future at stake. He says it's all about us and not about our families. I should always talk to him first...and not with my family. He says I should be independent and make my own decisions (I thought I did...).

Should I back out of this engagement? Is this relationship doomed? What should I do?

This has been bothering me all day - so I'll just ask the community. My husband's sister has a best friend she's known for almost 20 years. She got married in Tahoe in Nov and had a reception last weekend. It was a small gathering, 50 people which turned into 75 at their home. We were not invited. However my hubby's parents were, and of course his sister and her bf. Now - i invited this girl to my baby shower - her and her mom. I had never met her before, but there was alot of people on my hubby's side invited i never met before. Anyway, that is the sole and only time I met her. My question is - don't you think its rude she didnt invite us to the reception - not even a card announcing the wedding (surely we would've at least sent a gift!) - It is a close & special person to her sister - so why wouldn't she invite us. I think it's rather rude and disrespectful to my hubby. He really doesn't care but once I pointed it out to him - he agreed it was a lil' rude - What would you think/feel?

Our wedding is in 2 weeks, today my fiancee's mother called, she said a few things that shocked us. But one of them was that she wanted to say a speach, well his mom and dad have been divorced for over 20 years, he is remarried but she isn't. She is still very bitter about everything and makes it clear that she doesn't like him or his new wife (we don't really like her either but his dad loves her so we keep our feelins to ourselves). Well she said that she was going to welcome me into HER family, not his dad's, and then she stated that she didn't want his new wife introduced into the reception like the rest of the wedding party and with my parents. She doesn't even want her invited, we had to sit his dad and his step mom at the table with my parents, cause she said if we sat them with her she would have a few words. After hearing this we are now worried that she might say something in her speach, he has told her if she does then he'll kick her a** out and she will miss the rest.

Should the 19 year old boy wait 2 more years until he is 21, and THEN get married?

Also, isn't 21 a better age (than 19), and it is the norm, right?

My SIL is getting married and I have to help out with the favors. I wrote out the invitations for my SIL's shower and paid for the postage. My MIL told me that she would give me the money and she never did. Now they want me to chip in with the favors. I plan on telling my MIL and the MOH that I'm not chipping in anymore because I already paid for the postage...which was like 40 dollars.

Is this being rude? I'm not working now because I'm a stay at home mom and just bought a house...
