Weddings - August 2007

I am getting married and want a backyard wedding for 45 people only, and a nice sit down dinner. Now, my parents don't have much money, and I can't afford alot of things, but my fiancee can, and since I will be given away to him, shouldn't he be paying the most since he can afford it? I am not asking for much just the basic food, drinks, and that's all. Your thoughts.

And did the marriage last?

Child bride: Sex abuse or cultural diversity?


A member of the European Parliament is demanding action over the marriage of a young Roma princess to a 15-year-old bridegroom.
Ana-Maria Cioaba, whose age has been reported as either 12 or 14, was reluctantly married on Saturday to a 15-year-old Roma bridegroom.

Family members say she had been promised in marriage when she was aged just seven, for a price of 500 gold coins, and had no say in the wedding.

British MEP Emma Nicholson is demanding that the Romanian Government take both children into care.

Is this marriage a form of child sexual abuse or an expression of cultural diversity? Should different cultures be able to exercise their different traditions on marriage?

I'm in the process of planning my wedding and I want to make sure that the day goes well and everyone enjoys themselves - including myself and my bride!

I've been doing some research online but can't really find any good websites that answer all my queries. Can anyone recommend a good site to look at?

Also, as we are planning a small wedding, it would be awesome if we could find out about weddings that don't cost a million dollars. We want to save some money for the honeymoon. LOL.

Ok so myself and my guy really do want to get married, but in about 2 years. We also both want a atleast semi-traditional wedding, and well if we do get married @ that time, i'll just have turned 18, and I know for a fact that my mom wouldn't like that, so there's NO way that it would fly. That being said our traditonal/semi-tradional dreams are shot out the window. We would have to get married at the court house. Any suggestions? Any at all would be great, advice would be nice too. Thanks

My best friend recently got engaged to my brother in law. they were only together 2 weeks and then he disappeared and had no contact with anyone. the moment he comes back, he proposes and she says yes. i dont believe they are ready for marriage and i am so against these joke marriages where people do it just to do it. she wants me involved...but should i be involved despite my beliefs?

I know it was hard for me to go to weddings when I was single, but do you have issues with it if you are engaged, but still have a long time to wait for your wedding? Do you get jealous?

Hello yahoo answers family. I need help decorating a reception. There isn't a theme, the colors are light blue, silver, and white. I need help because I have never really seen a wedding since I was five. I don't want answers like the knot or other sites I have tried them all. I wanted true answers. Please help if you can. Decorations for the place itself, tables and cake table.

I have always, always known that when the time came I wanted to use a deep, rich blue in my wedding (if you want to see what I'm talking about, David's Bridal calls it Marine) http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridalparty.jsp

Now that the time has come, I don't know what other colors to use with the blue. The only thing I can really think of is a lighter blue and silver. I want one color for the bridesmaids (the dark blue) and then another for the maid of honor, but I don't really want the maid of honor in light blue, and I don't think silver will work. Plus I feel the dark blue with silver is too common. I have also considered the dark blue with either creme or like a buttercreme (pastel yellow). What do you think? I don't want to use white because I don't want the maid of honor in white (for obvious reasons). Thanks.

I've only seen her a couple of times in my life. Both my brother and I will be attending. How much money should we give from the both of us? (We are not giving a gift, as they only want money.)

Ok so here is my scenario...I just got engaged July 24th and we set our date for October 10, 2008. In my opinion, it is too early for me to pick bridesmaids, but I have a general idea of who will be in it. My fiance's brother is in our wedding and he has been dating this girl fror about 2 years. She came up to me yesterday and told me that she is jealous and would not approve if he walked down the aisle with anyone but her...She basically told me she was being in my wedding. I was really calm and told her that I hadn't made any decisions yet, but truly I was really offended. I don't want her to be mad at me, but I don't think she has the right to tell me she is in my wedding. What should I do?

And on top of that, she e-mailed me about 20 minutes later and said :oh yeah and what I was talking to you about I also would like him to sit by me when we eat so I can tell him how handsome he is...


After that I kind of freaked out and told my mom that the hooch wasn't invited @all

I want to revise my question from yesterday. So turns out my boyfriend went to his best friend and said I am looking at rings for me. He also has a girlfriend less than a year though and he never said anything about engagement. My boyfriend a month ago ask me what kind of ring I want, so I was getting all excited.

What do you know his friend gave his girlfriend a ring this week. It really bothers me because me and my boyfriend were talking about he wasn't and we also have been going out 3 years. So what do you guys think??

She never really asked, she just assumed and started making plans. She is getting married on the beach, with a total of 15 guests. She is on a very tight budget and expects me to spend a fortune, between the dress (roughly $110), hair ($55), nails ($25), shoes ($45) while she can't even ditch out $100 for her dress!!!!
Her wedding is only a few months away and I don't know what to tell her especially since we work together! I don't want to create a stressful work environment between her and I.
What should I do?

The day that I was going to pick up my wedding dress, my brother and his wife wanted to come, apparently not to share in the joy of picking up the beautiful dress, but to announce they are pregnant with their 3rd child. And it is due 5 days before my wedding. My sister in law is saying she still wants to sing in the wedding, I told her no because we don't even know if she will be able to, seeing as how she is giving birth days before the wedding. She says that I should plan on her but have a back up just in case, and I don't want to ask someone to sing on a pending basis especially when I can't let the 'alternate' know for sure until days before the wedding. Now my whole family is acting like I am rude and not thinking logically... am I?

We are looking for an outdoor wedding reception location near Alexandria Bay, NY. We are not local to the area and are having problems finding pictures of Grass Point State Parks Recreation Hall and/or Pavillions?

Anyone have any pictures from a wedding they have gone to?

We are having a wedding. We want to order ivory linens for the table tops. Does it usually cost extra to have them touch the floor? I'm afraid the caterers are trying to nickel and dime us.

do people often confuse colored diamonds for gemstones? i'm debating a colored diamond in an eternity band, but i don't want to pay for fancy diamonds if people will think it's just a band of gemstones. i wanted something traditional (eternity band) with a twist (colored stones). should i just stick with regular white diamonds?
