I was asked to be a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding and agreed. The dresses that the bride chose cost $160. I was told to order my dress by a certain date, which I did-put down the deposit for it ($80 + taxes) and now the wedding is canceled. The bride and groom made a mutual decision to split up and didn't tell anyone about it until after she moved her stuff out a week later. Now all of the bridesmaids are stuck with paying for our dresses. The bride and groom have not expressed any remorse for our financial loss or anything else! We all understand it was a hard decision to make, and want to be supportive but we are all broke college students who are stuck with a new bill now! The bride is not stuck with paying for a dress because she was wearing her mother's wedding dress. Should we ask for help paying for these dresses we will never wear? The bridal shop refuses any refund or even store credit and when the dresses arrive we are lliable for the other half. PLEASE HELP!!!

My friends are getting married in 2 weeks and I still don't know what to get them. They have lived together for 2 years, in there 50's and have everything. They do live on a lake and love the water ( I thought about a gas card for the boats but don't know if that's tacky). Thanks for any ideas you can give me.

I feel that one of my bridemaids is unsupportive of me getting married. She thinks I am too young, and she seems to think that I don't know that marraige is hard work sometimes (which I know). I have been dating the guy for 4 and 1/2 years and she and her fiance are very close with us. They are getting married in May and we are in Decemeber. She may be a little jealous or frustrated that we are marrying before them, but I am struggling with the thought of my friend and bridesmaid not supporting this big part of my life. I was thinking of confronting her and telling her that if she wasnt supportive of my decision, then maybe she shouldn't be a bridesmaid? Is that too harsh? I am just really upset about this. Help!

If you get an invitation to a bridal shower, does this mean you are invited to the wedding?

Before I get into this please do not judge me to harshly, I understand how this must sound but Id rather ask people I dont than those I do and knowingly live with their judgment.

M y H2B has a mentally challenged brother. I have nothing against his brother and the three of us go out on many occasions. We take him to the movies, zoo, local attractions. He often stays with us for weeks at a time but my H2B has decided he wants his brother to be his best men. I want him to be involved in the wedding as much as possible and have no reason to have any say who H2B chooses but for some reason I cant sit easy with him being a groomsman.

He has min. attention span and often just 'wanders off' and has his certain way as most people with his condition do. I cant help but stress during the ceremony he will do something or not co-operate with pics etc and I know I am being abit of a princess over it but I just dont know how to discuss this with any1.

Any ideas?

I am amazed at how people plan their weddings to be just like everyone else's wedding or just like the magazines tell you.

why don't more people go for something unique to them and their partner? why are brides so damn cookie-cutter???

my future mother in law is having a big problem because I dont want children at my wedding ceremony, I offered to have a wedding 'sitter' in a room of the church...but she didnt really go for that either. To make things worse...I think she and my fiance's sister really dont like me because I am not catholic. My fiance is very supportive and tells me not to let them bother me because he doesnt like catholicism either...should I just tell them that its the 'sitter' way or the highway about our wedding?

I'm getting married on the beach. I was thinking that instead of having chairs I can have a couple chests filled with blankets. Guests can grab a blanket and sit on the beach for the ceremony. What do you think?

What's the deal with this new trend? I confess I really don't get it at all. The reception is the hard part to plan, so why elope and still have the reception. The reception is the part that causes all the problems - who sits where, how much to spend, what food to serve, etc. So tell me why did you elope and then plan a reception anyway?

Hi,

My sisters would like to have a bridal shower for me (I know in some areas/ social circles, it is considered inappropriate for relatives to handle a bridal shower, but this is the norm where I live) before my fiance and I leave to get married in Hawaii. I know that usually only guests attending the wedding are invited to the shower, but that would be impossible in this situation since we are eloping. We are having a reception for family and friends after we return. I don't want to offend anyone, so what are your thoughts on being invited to such a shower, assuming you will be invited to the reception here.

Thanks!!!

I have been with my boyfriend for 3 and a half years, we both want to get married(to each other) one day. We are both 20, and entering our Junior year of college.
My grandfather is dying, and I don't know how much longer he's going to be with us.
Here is my question: Do you think it is a bad idea to get married in the next year so that my grandfather will be here for it? I would be heartbroken if he passed on before we got married, but I don't want to ruin mine and my boyfriend's chance to finish college. Before you ask, the two of us have talked about this, and he wants my whole family to be there as well so wants to go along with this also. In the end though, he says its my decision.
As a side note, I know his family would not go along with this, and my family would probably be a little skeptical, though they are already hoping we will get married one day.
Any advice you can give would be great, thank you!

This is completely random, but me and my best friend are having a fight over if the other men on the groom's side (other than the best man) were called groom's men or something else.

My bridesmaid just broke-up with her boyfriend of 3 years. She told me that she will have another date to bring to the wedding. Should I discourage her from doing this? There will be pictures of them for sure and it might be odd for us. I know wedding etique is that unless they have been together for more than six months you don't have to invite the other party. Or should I just let it go. She is my best friend after all and I feel really bad for her.

My friends daughter is having a formal wedding reception, and has hired a DJ to perform for the later part of the evening. There is a wedding singer and band that are performing during the cocktail and dinner hour. She has requested that the DJ wear formal attire, which he said is normal. Does she need to provide him with a buttoniere? I told her no, that those were reserved for members of the wedding party, and to identify significant family members. Now I am thinking maybe I was wrong. Need some clarification. What is right, provide a buttoniere or is that overboard?
