Weddings - August 2007

I so want a casual wedding. An event where myself and guests can be comfortable. Plus the $500 I would spend on a dress could be used elsewhere.

So has anyone done an extremely casual wedding? Any tips?

I'm trying to get a budget for my wedding. The first thing I need to take into consideration is the donation cost and ceremony expenses.

In general, how much is a donation for the use of a Catholic Church for a wedding? If it's different for every Church (which I'm sure it is) Just please give me the amount you know.

In addition, how did any Catholic brides decorate the church. As far as I know, I thought you were not allowed to decorate the church. Besides a few flower arrangements for the Alter. Do I even need those?

I don't plan on doing any extra decorating of the church. I think it's a horrible idea to put tulle and bows on a Holy place. Churches are beautiful enough without that.

Anyway. Please give me any and all information regarding the cost of a Catholic Ceremony.

Also, please include the price of your pre-cana classes and material. Please keep that seperate from the ceremony costs though.

Thanks for the Help!

I am in the market for an engagment ring. So far I have been to mostly chain stores and a few smaller, non chain stores. I am told that I should not buy from a typical chain store, one that you can find anywhere in the country. I should purchase my engagment ring from a non-chain type of jewelry store. One that is independent, etc. Any ideas why? They all claim to have far superior better quality than chain stores for the money.

So my fiance thinks we should spend $3,000 on photography and not have an open bar. I think we should have our 2 friends (both great photographers) do the photos and have an open bar. Please note that I am NOT a drinker, I just think a big day calls for a celebration. Plus, 2 couples are driving over 1,000 miles to be at the wedding, all at their expense. Oh, by the way, even if our friends mess up the photos, we are still having a videographer there so we it's not like we wouldn't have any documentation of our wedding if the pics turned out horrible

I really mean it. I've seen women that are rich marry a super rich man and expect the man to lavish and pay for their $500K weddings and they look and act so greedy.

I feel if a woman who is poor or middle class truly loved a guy that made bank, she would not want to drain his account but be concerned about him and his financial secruity. If a woman loves a man I believe love would matter not a Cartier rock that blinds you. It's not in my heart to cheat or scam like the other girls do, but maybe that's kind of what the guy likes a woman that will take him for every penny.

YOUR THOUGHTS?

My cousin is getting married in a few weeks and our entire family was invited. We all have to travel long distance to the wedding and it was going to be like a joint vacation / family reunion.

The problem is that she has suddenly decided that she doesn't want my brother in law to attend. He's somewhat mentally disabled and is altogether obnoxious. I somewhat understand why she doesn't want him there because I can barely stand him myself. He's prone to be argumentative and obnoxious, although for the most part my husband and my Mom keep him in check.

My sister is practically heartbroken that our cousin isn't being very understanding about his mental capabilities. She's refusing to go without him.

I understand that my cousin shouldn't have to invite people that she doesn't want but I can't stand to see my sister so hurt. I don't want to cause trouble but I also don't want my sister to end up being excluded. Should I approach my cousin about the problem or should I back off?

I absolutely LOVE this dress (http://morilee.com/DressDetail.aspx?C=9&D=454&P=1) the only thing is that it does not come in any color I like, at least from what I can tell. The second dress I like (http://www.morilee.com/DressDetail.aspx?C=9&D=442&P=1) is also pretty, however, the color bubble gum I like, BUT I have yet to find a store that carries any dress from Mori Lee in a chiffon material that is bubble gum.

I know that stores can usually only get the samples that are sent to them, but the only way I can see any color is by the internet or by the small swatch at the store. What I want to know is if there is any place that sells catalogs or magazines with Mori Lee dresses in them. Mori Lee does not appear to sell any on their website, but some one else may! I really would like one of those two dresses for my bridesmaids, however I don't want a terrible color. Also, the chiffon will match my gown perfectly! (Also a Mori Lee gown)

I want to have the Grandparents walk in first, then my fiance's mother (my mom is MOH) escorted just before the actual wedding party, can I use the same song as my party or do I need to switch to a different song for the party's procession?

It looks like my sister, who's in her 50s, will get married for the third time. No engagement yet, but we're "hearing wedding bells". My other sister and I have never been married. So, I'm thinking of getting my sister, if she does get engaged the third time, a gag gift of a copy of Gone with the Wind--book and/or movie--or maybe a Scarlett O'Hara doll in a wedding dress, if I can afford that. Scarlett married three times while her sisters never did.

When my pastor had his fourth daughter--no sons--I got him the book LIttle Women. When a churchmate had her fourth daughter--no sons--I got her Little Town on the Prairie. When her fifth child was a boy, I told her that if she'd had a fifth daughter, I'd have gotten her Fiddler on the Roof.

So, what do you think of Gone with the Wind for my possibly thrice-married sister?

My fiance already has a good idea of what she wants to wear. I am still in a quandry. The wedding will be different, meaning no tuxedos, white veils etc.

We are doing things differently, because we want to. No following the sheep for us.

So what are people's suggestions for me as the groom and my groomsmen, my two scruffy nephews?

Get creative people, I am all ears (or eyes in the case of Yahoo Answers)

I hired a professional photographer for my wedding. I ended up with a little over 300 shots. Paid about $1400 total. I am getting a $200 credit toward prints. Plus a DVD with a release form allowing me to print my own additional pictures elsewhere.

The prices from the professional are as follows:

4x6 - $10
5x7 - $15
8x10 - $20
11x14 - $30
12x18 - $45

They are running a 2 for 1 special in about a week, so I am holding off for that.

If I take my DVD elsewhere, the costs are going to be considerable cheaper.

So here is my question. Do I use the credits to buy all the big size prints that I might want for frames? And then do all the 4x6 elsewhere?

Or do I have them create a memory book instead with that money? The books are over $200.

I am just not sure which way to go with this. My guess is that the pro prints will be on better paper and probably better spent on the bigger ones that I would frame rather than on 4x6 prints that will be in a photo album.

So i know i am getting married in april and well i dont think i would care too much if someone wore black and white dress. So my future sil is getting married in sept on top of the fact that i have been so nice with her throwing shower which no bridesmaid even showed for, paying for hotel pitching in to help her all the time going places with her when her groom couldnt because he is out of state i.e cake tasting, food tasting, wine tasting! I have also paid a close friend of mine to attend the hotel so that she can take the children attending after dinner is over! (i had to pay her 100.00 plus the hotel room 199.00) She asked what i was wearing so i showed her the dress and she flat out told me i cant wear anything with white in it! here is the picture

We've been together for a year...he wants to live together before getting married, but I really don't. Ever since I was a little girl I've been planning in one way or another my wedding. It's very important to me! I think he's mostly concerned about money. But I would get married in my backyard, no ring, no cake kind of wedding and it would be the best thing ever, because I just love him so much and want to do the vows, and not to mention we are planning on going to the Peace Corps in 2009. Nothings final or anything, we haven't even put in our papers, but we HAVE to be married to do this. He knows it, so why isn't he asking me to marry him? SO, I was thinking of asking him! I'm not this type of girl, but we're very open with one another, and was thinking of doing it in more of a "Hey, I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you. I can't think of a single reason why we shouldn't start planning a wedding." Guys, what would be your response to this? Girls opinions welcome!

My dear friend and I were planning our weddings at the same time. During the process, she has wanted to use my wedding colors, floral ideas, photographer, and party favors. I tried helping her select her own invitations and waited until she ordered certain things pertaining to her wedding before answering any questions about my personal plans. Now that my wedding has passed (and yes she was in it) it has gotten worse! She wants to borrow my tiara, use the music I played in the ceremony, the location where I had my bridal shower, etc!!!! I worked my behind off to plan my own beautiful occasion. I am in her upcoming wedding. I've told her that she needs to use her own special touch but she's not getting it.

How do I tell her to use her own creativity without causing tension?

I have 3 bridesmaids, a junior bridesmaid and a flower girl. The problem is my fiance so far has his brother as the best man and no one else. He doesn't really have any close guy friends that he hangs out with alot. I asked him if it would be okay if my cousin was in it since him and I are really close. He had no problem with this. But what to do about the other 3 spots?
