Weddings - July 2007

Do hindu weddings allow for the mix like this? If so, would it be wrong to change the dress, or would they accept it since it it between christian and hindu? What if the bride doesn't have parents, or they are dead? Aren't they supposed to be a big part of the wedding? Just curious. I really don't know too much about this stuff, but my friend who is christian has a bf who is hindu, and I was wondering if they went back to india to get married how it would go (totoal IF here, just daydreaming and wondering how it would go)

We have been engaged for over a year now and he has promised me on several occasions that he was going to tell his parents we are getting married. He finally told them that we are considering getting married, but not that we have already set a date and have started the planning process. He says I am pressuring him and that he doesn't see why it is so important that his parents know we are getting married. He is very close to his parents (Whom I still haven't met after 3 years of dating). I feel as if he is ashamed of me. I have 2 children from a previous marriage. He has been in their life since they were 3 and 1 yrs old. They call him Daddy and everything. His parents don't even know about him adopting my children. He doesn't have any other children and has never been married before. I don't want to start paying to much money towards this wedding or investing to much time in the planning process (He wanted the big wedding I didn't), if he isn't planning to marry me.

Both my parents are deceased. I want to honor them some way at my wedding with songs. I want to dance with my fiance' to Heartland "I Loved Her First" in memory of my dad, for the father/daughter dance. And I want to play "Tears in the Floor of Heaven" in memory of my mom. Does anyone have any other songs that would be appropriate to play either during the wedding or at the reception in memory of my parents, since I am the only daughter in the family.

i'm in charge of throwing the bacholorett party. with my ideas the price for us five girls can range from 70-100 dollars. some of these girls do not have good jobs, or are very young. how much would you expect to pay to help with the party. i'm already going to pay for decorations and invetaions by myself, so i was wanting the girls to pay for hotel and dinner...we will all split everything..

This is a two-parter. First, I don't really like the traditional 'wedding band'. What do you think of anniversary bands in lieu of reg. ones? This is the kind I like

Part 2-My fiance is also a bit 'untraditional'. Which is fine, I want him to like his band, he has to wear it, so it's absolutely his choice, and I'm not going to tell him no. I know they won't be worn 'together' but wanted to get opinions on his, since it looks very different from mine.

This is the one he picked, he seems to have his heart set on two tone titanium, what do you think of our choices together?

We are to be married in less then 3 weeks, we were sitting at the table last night going through some songs that are to be played for the dances. I choose the one that I'll be dancing with my dad and he chose the one that we'll be dancing too, then I suggested a song for him and his mom. Then he just stated out of the blue that he won't be dancing with her for a special dance. At first I thought he was joking, but a moment later I knew he wasn't. We have been havin some problems with her lately, to be honest she is driving us nuts. But I told him that he should still do this dance with her, in 2 years when everything is calm he would look back and wished he had of done it. She has hurt him really bad lately, well both of us but more so him. We have tried talking to her about it, but she doesn't see what she is doing, I know this is why he doesn't want to dance, and I might feel the same way if it were the other way around, but still. I need some advice on how to change his mind

Do couples who marry in a Las Vegas chapel, just the 2 of them, not big reception, have a first dance? I mean they get married in a chapel, where do they have their first dance? My fiance and I are planning on getting married in Vegas this weekend. It will probably just be the two of us. And we just realized that what about our first dance? I suggested we just dance out in the street in front of Eiffel Tower or something. But what about the music?

We have them occasionally but only a "select" few are invited to the actual wedding. Would it be in bad taste to skip if you are not close to the person?

My brother-in-law (age 47) lives with his folks. He was included on our cousin's wedding invite as if he were a little kid, AND they used the WRONG FIRST NAME! This has been one of several affronts committed by this couple. No one in the family was invited to be in the wedding, which is a first, and to not get a FIRST COUSIN's name right is just RUDE, don't you think? I think someone needs to speak to the cousin (the groom); my bro-in-law is hurt. Money is NOT an issue with this wedding. Bride is 41; groom is 36. Bride told groom "no cousins in the wedding" and didn't include the teen cousins who call this groom "Uncle."

Will give 10pts for best answer that helps us address this issue constructively. Thanks.

I have a beautiful vintage tiara to wear for my wedding next month. It has six tiny silver loops that you can use to attach the tiara to your hair by pushing a hairpin through. But however many pins,it will not stay put!! My hair stylist is running out of ideas and I am getting nervous!! It's quite heavy and has no comb or teeth to hold it in place. I really want to use this tiara for sentimental reasons. Can anyone help please?!

There was no ring invoved, and it wasn't your usual "will you marry me". He said that he wants us to get married and that we need to start planning right away, he asked if it would be okay. I was overwhelmed (with happiness) and said of course! Is it considered a proposal, though maybe not the ordinary sort? We've started doing simple planning things (ie: discussing what kind of wedding, who will be involved, how much we want to spend, a date). Am I engaged or am I just planning a wedding and waiting for a proposal? Thanks in advance for your opinions.

Oh, and by the way... the no ring thing isn't an issue for me. I've always wanted a spontaneous proposal... with or without a ring, I think that can come later if the current moment feels perfect.

I am in need of ideas for wedding favors. I would like to do something economical, but defineatly no bubbles or candles. Do you have any ideas that are unique? Maybe something people can actually use? It will be an outdoor wedding, so I will have handheld fans.....I would like my favors to useful after the wedding as well. Also, don't forget the little ones. Any suggestion is welcome. Thank You.

I have heard that trashing your wedding dress is a sign of committment to your new husband. The fact that you are never going to need that dress again. I think it sounds fun and cute, but when I brought this up every one of my inlaws (the women) criticized me for it. I just don't see why I need to just store it away. I could sell it, but it would be a hassle advertizing cuz I would only get a little bit out of it anyway. What are some thoughts??

I have a friend, lovely girl, she is a bit on the chubby side. She decided to go for an untraditional wedding dress. It's light pink. She honestly looks like a pig. The dress is REALLY tight and shows ever roll. She has kind of a stubb nose and there are a lot of ruffles on the dress and she is wearing a weird pint hat. She is totally a nice girl, and usually very good looking. But it is amazing, she looks like a pig (the animal). I was not hte only one to notice the resemblace at her fitting, but we were all too afraid to tell her. It is wrong to just give her a head's up? Maybe an anonymous letter. She's my friend, and I don't want her asking us later why we didn't stop her.

Everything seems so essential, but there must be some things you can compromise on or find an alternative to to make the day affordable while keeping it great.

My wedding rehersal is Friday and I have only been to like two in my life....how does this play out, what do we do? We aren't doing it at the chruch and my best friend got officiated to marry us so I am sort of in the dark. It's a cookout at my fiance's parents house too....so very informal.

I already know the best man will be late due to work and picking up the tux but I want to know if he really needs to be there or if we can do the big stuff without him then when he gets there introduce him to who he is escorting.

Would it be stupid or weird to have a honeymoon themed bridal shower? Items on the 'suggested list' would range from sunblock to BP gas gift cards, shampoo, body wash, etc?

My Maid of Honor is throwing me a bridal shower and we thought up this idea because my fiance and I are... broke... and these items, though not the typical gift or pretty, would be really helpful to us.

I spent many hours preparing for this wedding by learning the new music, meeting with the soloist and violinist on 2 separate occasions, and driving a total of 320 miles round trip for the rehearsal and the wedding. I feel as if I was asked to play for the wedding as a means of cutting corners so they could spent money on the more elaborate aspects of a wedding. The bride and groom gave wedding gifts to the wedding party and their parents, but I suspect she didn't even pay her violinist nor her friend for singing. We all three did a beautiful job at her wedding and with all the work we did for planning and making her wedding beautiful musically, we were slighted. Because of this recent event, I am no longer willing to play for weddings. Am I being overly sensitive regarding this matter, or because I was a family member at the wedding I should have assumed this was a free service?
