Weddings - August 2007

ok, well my wedding was pushed forward to december 07 and so i tried my best to organise everything really really quickly.. booked a place, minister, holliday, dress, bridesmaid dresses, cake design ..etc
anyway, circumstances have luckily changed and i am now getting married in november 08, this means 11 months later.. it gives me a lot more time to relax and spread out the stress
here is my prob- i have bought my dress, i have one payment left.. it was an expensive dress $2000 ( i can't get a refund because of the alterations) but i only bought it because the wedding had to be pushed forward and i was in a rush to get one on time (not my fault, fiancee's work situation had changed)...
am i justified to buy ANOTHER dress.. i really want one, and i know they are expensive, or should i just wear it because i hate the thought of waisting that money..?

I am getting married in February and am looking for a church to have the ceremony at. I am looking for something really pretty and reasonable in cost. I do not even know where to begin to look. We looked at Eliot Chapel in Kirkwood but they wanted almost $1200 and I thought that was a bit too much. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Me and my bf thinking to get married asap. The thing is we dont really know where to get married at. I want to get married in his country which in Europe but I dont know who I need to contact for a wedding planner there and what things I need to do here while I am in the States. I am so blind, don't know what I need to do first. It's not gonna be a big wedding but enough to celebrate among our family and close friends. Should I buy a wedding gown or rent it? my budget is kinda tight too? do people actually get a loan to plan a wedding, so they can have the wedding they want? do you guys have any idea? is there any website I can go to? thanks!

I just found out today that my 18 year old daughter got married by a judge 5 days ago. She has been acting strange since then and I asked her why she was smiling so much. She said nothing. I asked her if she got married she said no. I asked her now husband and he said yes we were going to tell you. Needless to say I was hurt. My daughter has always wanted a small wedding (Gatlinburg) or (Hocking Hills) so I was really surprised about this. She is not pregnant, I am a nurse and had her take a blood test which was negative (just to ease my mind). He is 24 years old, 2 years out of the Army and owns his home and is really a nice guy. My daughter told me tonight she would like to have a wedding. Am I wrong to disagree? I told her I would have her a "Wedding Shower" but I feel a wedding is ridiculous since she didn't want to include me in the first place. What do you think? Thank you!

my children have been asked to be part of their uncle's weeding ceremony but have been asked not to attend the reception. we are a little dissapointed because we know that they love music and dancing and would have a blast at the ceremony. On the other hand, there was someone that i didn't want at my reception and they showed and i was upset. i don't want to rock the boat. I don't want to hurt my brother or put a wedge anywhere. any ideas?

At my wedding reception, the centerpieces are going to be jack-o-lanterns (fake ones) with candles inside of them. I was hoping to still give the centerpieces away, so I wanted to know what I could carve into the pumpkins that is 'general' enough that my guests would want to display the pumpkins every year (aka, not our names or wedding date), but still wedding themed! Any ideas? Thanks!!

SOOOOO, i did a switcheroo & asked him. his response was immediate and he said yes! he didn't even hesitate. maybe he feels pressured now? i thought things would be okay. he's become distant. we are very open with each other so to elevate the anxiety, i told him, "honey, when you are ready, you can ask me to marry you, buy a ring & propose to me, and this will make it more comfortable for you, maybe? no pressure, no time limit, when you are ready, okay"....and i kissed him passionately. seems like a better option, maybe more legit. i think maybe i scared him out of his mind. maybe he has paniced about the "M" thing.. maybe i should step back and not communicate with him for awhile and let him think? i told him there is no rush and i am always the one i see myself with him & big expensive gawdy engagement rings dont have to be the norm. when the time comes i told him i would be gracious with any type of ring. becuz if it came from him, it came from his heart & i WILL LOVE HIM STILL.

So is this really terrible.....Today in the mail I received the invitation to my bridal shower. Ahh...I immediately felt ill like I was going to throw up. It's like the finality of it all....this is the real deal. I love my finace dearly....we have been together for over 8 years and really we are just making it "official", but there is something about marriage that terrifies me.

My parents had a nasty divorce and I have so many young friends who are either divorced or unhappily married. I just don't want to ever end up that way....marriage scares me!!!!

Is this bad to be actually feeling ill over this? Should I be worried? Any suggestions on how to calm myself and rid this nauseau.

Me and my ex boyfriend broke up about a month ago and I was really close to his family; especially his 3 sisters. One of his sisters is getting married this Saturday and my cousin who was supposed to go with me backed out of it. Anyway, my ex is one of the groomsmen and I really want to go to the wedding since I RSVPd already. My cousins said to take my new boyfriend but I don't think that would be appropriate. What do you think? Should I just go by myself?

I have powerpoint and know how to use that. But I also have adobe photoshop (no idea how to use), snapfish, and shutterfly accounts which have slideshows. I will be playing off of a laptop, plugged into a big screen tv during the reception. I only have a few weeks until the big day? Any ideas? Thanks!

My fiance and I have been engaged for about 2 months. Ever the planner, I am ready to get things movings as far as dates, destinations, etc. However, he does not want to set a date yet. He says that it is because we won't know exactly when we will be living together. (He is building a house that we are planning to live in together.) The way I see it, which I have explained, is that we may not know when the house will be done until 2-3 months before the house is complete. That's not enough time to plan! Is he putting me off because he doesn't WANT to get married...?? (I worry b/c he was engaged once before and nothing ever happened there either.)

Let me give you a little back round first. I'm a huge daddy's girl and I'm also really close to my brother. So on my wedding day I want them to bother walk me down the isle. My brother would walk me half way then my dad the other half (don't know what order). My brother has been my protecter since I was born and my dad is well, my dad. I was wondering what you would think of this.

This guy I know from college just invited me to his wedding. I can't really say that I am friends with him, because I don't see him much. I might see him once every 2 or 3 years, and that's only because we sometimes have group gatherings with old friends from college.

I'd have to drive wake up early and drive an hour to get to this wedding, for a guy who I'm not really friends with. But I don't have a legitimate excuse to get out of it.

What would you do?

Families don't drink, so no booze at the wedding reception. So, I'm trying to think of a way to put together an affordable after-party for about 20-25 people who will want to drink when the reception is over. We can't have it at the same place the reception is. So I'm trying to decide, should we rent out another facility? Have a cash bar? What would you do?

2007-08-13 08:09:45 · 18 answers · asked by Linz ♥ VT 4

Do you think it would be okay to still have a toast if we aren't having booze? His family is very religious and does not drink so we have to wait until after the reception to break out the booze. LOL Anyway.. should we have flutes with sparkling cider or something?

2007-08-13 08:07:40 · 23 answers · asked by Linz ♥ VT 4

Neither my fiance nor I are very religious, but his family sort of is. His grandparents were once missionaries. We don't want religion to play a key part in the ceremony, meaning we don't want a church or pastor or anything like that.. We thought, however, that it might be a nice compromise to have his dad officiate. His dad understands our views, but teaches Sunday school and would be able to incorporate enough to please the rest of the relatives.

Is this possible in the state of VA? What would we have to do to make it legal? We live in Chesapeake, but would more than likely have the wedding in Virginia Beach or Norfolk.

I don't really have a huge budget to buy him a gift after all of the wedding planning... I know he will probably be happy with anything that I give him though. I was thinking about cologne, or a silk robe, but these seem like blah everyday gifts. I also considered a copy of the first pic we ever took together in a really nice frame... Of course this will be accompanied by a card. Any other suggestions will be welcomed... I want to give him something unique and meaningful but I can't think of anything else... I know he loves to play chess and we are planning for him to teach me, so I could buy a nice chess set but this doesn't really seem appropriate does it? He loves music, traveling like little road trips, being outdoors, and computers. Thanks in advance for your suggestions....

It was kinda a last minute wedding, but it would have still been nice to get an invite. Should I just not be stubborn & go or send a congrats card & that it?
