Weddings - July 2007

I was thinking yellow, hot pink and orange roses...(those are my colors) but I'm debating to do the roses or a variety of different flowers in the same colors. Which do you think would be prettiest? Which is cheaper?

I'm almost 24 and waiting until marriage for sex.

These days, everyone has sex early on. Yet deep down inside, people value virginity.

So guys, assuming that you love the woman and all.....would you prefer it if the woman you married and spent the rest of your life with, to be a virgin?
This way you can rest assured that you were the only one who has ever made love to her and that she has loved you sooooooo much, wayyyyy before you met, that she wanted to save herself for you!!! By saving yourself, your husband won't get anything, "used"...it'll be brand new! I mean, isn't that the absolute best wedding gift everrrrr?!?!

OR, do you not care and want to get laid and/or want to give the girl a test run, first?

BTW, no answers will change my mind on my decision. I know for a fact that I'm giving my husband one hell of a wedding present! :o)

My fiance's bestman is the most pathetic I have ever seen. He hasn't even called us to talk about the wedding or plan anything. We told him he was bestman like 6 months ago. My fiance called him 3 weeks ago and said, "The wedding is close, so we would like to do our bachelor/bachelorette parties in about 3 weeeks. That would be this weekend. He sounded all excited then, but hasn't planned anything. My MOH and mother are planning mine and I noticed that when I talk about it my fiance seems to get depressed. So I called his bestman today and he informed me that he didn't even ask off of work for it. So I decided to throw it for him and do something special for all the guys invited. I love him to death and I want him to have as much fun as I am going to have. Should I confront his bestman about how upset I am that he has no interest in his so-called bestfriend's wedding or leave it between the two of them knowing my fiance won't ever confront him?

We are going to the Caribbean to get married, and we were going to have a welcome back party when we returned. My fiance and I decided that wasn't for us, but he and my mother are afraid that I will feel like I am missing something. I never wanted a wedding or a reception before. What would I feel that I was missing (besides my father walking me down the isle)? Also, I get to see my close friends and family on a regular basis.

Okay, so i kind of have a dilema and could use some advice. My parents have been divorced since i was 2 and my mom has been with my stepdad since I was 3. Now i love my dad, don't get me wrong, he tries...sometimes...but he really hasn't been there for me throughout my life. Ie. i helped to raise his two boys, my little brothers, and at one point had to take care of him in his drunken stupor. However, my step dad has always been there fore me and is an awesome guy. I mean he's not my dad but if i need him he is there for me.
So my dilema is, can i have both of them walk me down the aisle without it being a problem? I want to honor both of them rather than just one, but i'm the only girl for my dad and my stepdad has a daughter. I want to have them both walk me down, but i don't really know how they will react to that idea. Any similar situations? Ideas on how to break it to them?

:: side note:: how to break it to our families it will be a dry wedding? no alchohol!

My fiance and I got engaged in June and have set our wedding date for October 27th of this year. We agreed to plan the wedding together. We have picked our venue for the wedding/reception and have paid the deposit. WE still have LOTS of other things to get. When I bring up that we need to (example) go pick our invitations so that they can be mailed out in Aug, he replies we have LOTS of time. I asked him to tell me what he doesn't want to be involved in, as far as the planning. He said just you getting the bridesmaid's dresses (which I agree, he don't have to be apart of). But, I feel when I want to discuss some things about the wedding planning, he sorta changes the subject and then wonders why I get so frustrated. Is this action normal for the groom to be? Should I go ahead and finish planning the wedding without his advice?

My boyfriend was talking to his mom about saving up for the big day and she replied "you dont have to do that". She said the Bride's family pays for the wedding. I am not really sure how all this goes, any thoughts?

I talked to one lady and she will charge $4500 for 250 people. This includes the food (heavy hor doureves ...spelling?), cake, and punch. Is this about right or way too much? I was thinking it would only be about $10 per person for food and around $800 for the cake. Any suggestions or comments?

I got engaged in November of 2005 and set the date of July 8, 2008. My Mom acknowleged that she would pay for my wedding (as is family and cultrual tradition). At the begining of this year, my sister announced that she was getting married, and the date was set for July 13, 2007. So my Mother was paying for a last minute Wedding this summer, and a wedding next summer. She bought a brand new car at the a few months ago because her other car was totaled in an accident. She's also looking at buying some Real Estate. My Father just got out of the service at the begining of this year and does not have a job. So my Mother cassually tells me a few weeks back that if my Father does not get a job, that she may not be able to pay for my wedding and I will have to move the date. The date my Fiance and I set is really important to us because July 8 was the day we met...and well 08 just goes with the day. So moving the date for us is out of the question...

Help!!!! I lived in a small city (about 130,000) where my parents and I are well known in the community. I moved away about 10 years but we are having the wedding there. My fiance and I are paying for the wedding ourselves so we are on a tight budget for the reception. Is it okay for my parents to invite their friends to the ceremony and not the reception? HELP?!?!?!?!?

We ordered a wedding dress off ebay (excellent quality it was and fitted perfect!) but it was slightly creased when it arrived.

Is there a way to remove the creases without sending it to a dry cleaners or specialist wedding dress shop? Someone mentioned getting a steam iron and holding it about 6 inches from the dress and repeatedly pressing the steam shot button but we're a bit weary about doing that.

Any ideas folks?

We are getting up in numbers for our wedding and reception. We have some kids that have to be there, parents in wedding party or with family from out of town, but is it ok not to invite the other kids like in town family? We are running into capacity and cost issues. Any input will be a big help.

I'm renting this apartment and the landlord called my fiance to tell him to be home by 8pm because she is bringing some of her out of town friends and family to look at the house. she and her husband bought the house last year and her friends and family haven't seen it yet.
My fiance told her, he would have to speak to me first before making a decision.
So i called her back because i am very upset that she would think it's ok to bring her friends and family to browse the house going in every room including my bedroom. so i told her now, ipay rent every month for my privacy my house it not a museum it's not 7th grade show and tell so no her and her friends cannot come over.
she is married to my fiances cousin so i can understand why she would think it would be ok for her to just assume she can come over. and im more upset at the fact that she didn't ask permission she just told us to be home by 8pm. I dont feel that i was wrong. do you think i was wrong?

I'm getting married in October and I was looking for a good undergarment to wear under my dress to make me look as perfect as possible. I don't really think I'm fat, but I want everything to look just right.... flat stomach, curvy hips and kinda pushed up boobs (but not too much!). Anybody got any good ideas of where I can get this?

ok so here is my dilemma I just recently got back in touch with my childhood best friend and I am going to ask her to be in the wedding. we have already chosen our wedding party. i know she won't mind be adding now bc we have just reconnected.
however now in order to even up things we have to ask another groomsmen...which in this case is going to be my other brother.
my one brother was already asked to be in the wedding party from the start. how do i ask my other bro without making
him seem second rate? orignally we only chose 3 people on each side bc i didn't have a 4th and also bc we couldn't afford it.
but now we are under budget and can afford the extra people a bit more.
i just need to know how to approach asking my other brother should we give him an explanation or just ask?

I am getting married in a few weeks. I have been a single Mom for 12 years... and plan to have my son walk me down the aisle at my wedding.

My dad passed away a few years ago... so... in place of the Father-Daughter dance at the reception.... I would like to slow dance with my 12 yr old son.

Does anyone have any song suggestions?

Thanks :)

So, I'm getting married in Vegas in 2 months, and suddenly we found out our best man (my fiances' best friend) can't come to the wedding. The details aren't important, but he won't be there. I'm pretty annoyed considering we gave him a year and a half notice ahead of time, but the show must go on... My fiance has no siblings, and the only members of his family attending are his mother, father and step mother. His other friends may not even be able to come (everyon'es broke, I guess) and really the original best man is his closest friend and he doesn't want to make anyone else second choice. We have no other bridal party, only his friend and my sister were going to do it. What do I do?? Do we have his father as best man? Do we scrap the wedding party all together? What is the purpose of them anyway? Just to stand there? Can I have all of our guests stand (about 15 ppl) and gather around us?
