Weddings - August 2007

His sisters are not throwing me a shower or even calling to see if there is anything they can do. One of his sisters hasn't even asked how much she owes us for his daughter's jr. bridesmaid dress. Also, his maternal grandmother won't come to my bridal shower, just because she is having issues with one of his sisters. She says she will try to come to the wedding. She lives very close to the wedding venue. She also sent HIM a wedding card and check saying "wedding gift". It wasn't for much, not for a wedding gift. Also, my name was not included any where. She put his name on it multiple places. She also wrote a note that was strange. Our wedding is over 2 months away from the time she sent this. Why would she send it now. I am getting frustrated, but more for my fiance. And now one of his cousins claims he can't get off of work to be in the wedding. It is at 6pm and we asked months and months prior to the wedding. He lives nearby. Am I being silly?

Hey I'm trying to book my honeymoon for next May and I'm quite taken with the idea of going to Cyprus. Because we are flying out on a Monday the flights are limited and so we can't get a package deal. I wondered if anyone else has tailor made their holiday to Cyprus and how they chose the hotel...could you recommend an ideal area of Cyprus/hotel/where to avoid etc? I have never been and have no idea about the country etc. Thank you!!

She is very close to my husband and is getting married for the 2nd time here soon. She had not planned to have anyone in the family in the wedding really and now I heard that she is having my husband, her other brother walk the horse that she is riding to the wedding. My bro in law's wife is maid of honor. I am upset because I am her sister in law too, and am married to her "favorite" brother. Should I be upset? It seems like me, and her step dad are the only people excluded from the wedding. But her SD might be in it I dunno. Why do you think she is doing this?

Is it grotesque to have pizza for a rehearsal dinner? We don't have a lot of money to spend on it. If you think pizza sucks, do you have any other suggestions? We are trying to feed 40 people on $150.

Please don't say that the groom's parents are supposed to host. I am aware. They gave us money for the wedding and we chose to use it otherwise.

I will be getting married August 2008, I have asked a friend of mine, 2 months ago to be my matron-of honor, and she was excited about it.The past month, I have called and texed to try to get her, to talk to me, but she is always busy. I understand that she has a life of her own, I told her that I truly need to know if she really wants to be in the wedding, and gave her a date that I needed to know, what her decision is.That day has come and gone with no answer, so I am assuming, her answer is a no. Am I being to mean, by seating a date, for her answer? If so who should I hanlde her being a flak?

If anyone has any suggestions Please Please Please Help!!!!

I don't have very many female friends, certainly none that are very close. I spend alot of time with my mom- we go to the bar together.. she is just my best friend in the whole world! and she isn't married either. (I do have 3 other bridesmaids by the way)
Is it ok for my mother to be the maid of honor at my wedding, or is that totally out of league?

All of my friends RSVPed, except one. She is still UNDECIDED (!!!).
I asked her friend why? Turned out she is upset she is not a bridesmaid .
We never really kept in touch after graduation. I invited her because she is my bridesmaid's best friend.
I got a feeling she wants me to ask (beg) her personally to attend my wedding. I thought the invitation was enough!

Should I do it, so everyone is happy? Or just let her be?

We are having a tiny wedding. Just us and our parents. And i need a pretty, casual, maternity wedding dress. Most sites only have really formal gowns and that won't suit us. I'm having trouble finding what i need, and time is really running out!!!

Okay, the wedding is this weekend and we etched beer mugs with the groomsmen and ushers names on them for their presents. The ushers are not old enough to drink and my mom is insisting on including a note saying something like, "We know you're not old enough to drink...blah, blah...but you can keep forever...blah, blah...thanks for being a part of our special day." Or something to that effect. I'm not that plain! I like cutesy sayings and stuff, but my brain is spent! I cannot think of anything cute. Please give me some ideas for a cute saying to go with giving a beer mug to both the groomsmen (who are old enough to drink) and the ushers (who are NOT old enough to drink).

I am getting married october 6th and am not sure if I need a coordinator to help with rehersal & getting down the isle. I have everything already planned out and all vendors scheduled & such. I am not sure if I really need to pay someone to help me with this or if we could just do it ourselves. Also how much is reasonable to pay for someone to do this? Thanks

My maternal grandparents live very close are will definitely be able to attend my wedding. However my paternal grandparents live on the other side of the country and have serious health issues. I do not want them to feel I expect them to make such a long trip but I do not want to be rude and not invite them. Should I send them an invitation anyway?

A lot of the time at wedding receptions, the whole reason for getting everyone together is overlooked! I want my wedding guests to know how my fiance and I met, and the story of our love! I'm trying to think of a unique way to tell everyone! I'm not into making speeches, but I was thinking of maybe typing up a cute story on stationary and leaving one at each place setting? I don't know! Does anyone else have any unique ideas to help our guests get to know us and our story a little better?! Thanks!!

I am looking for a destination wedding, but not Vegas or the Islands. I am looking for more of a resort situation where the guests will have a ton of things to do. Our family is very "regular". We like playing badmitton, volleyball, spades, swimming, dancing, eating, etc. We're not high siditty, but I would still like it to be nice with a lot of things to do. Our guest list would probably be around 50 people, hopefully : ) not more than that. I really am looking for a fun weekend experience for my family that is very interactive, and not too expensive for them. I don't want a "dry" reception, but a lot of my future husbands family doesn't drink, gamble, or anything else they feel blasphemous, although they don't judge. I just want them to have plenty of activities as well. Also, we want activities for children. And I don't want my guests to have to get a passport prior to so it needs to be in the US.

My finance and I are not drinkers. We are not hard parties, and are looking forward to an elegant wedding with family and friends. My mother in law is a bit different. She wants to bring a party bus with her family to the wedding, and then wants to continue the reception with a party at her house. We are told by her parents, his grandparents, that she wants to do this because there was a hell of a party after her wedding that she missed out on because she left for the honeymoon.
The idea of a party bus grosses me out. First of all, my family is very different and I know that they idea of drinking like a bunch of college students will turn them off. Second of all, this day is supposed to be our special day. We don't want this ti turn into their party, especially since we are not partiers ourselves.
She insists the only reason she wants wants a party bus is to prevent drunk driving. We suggested a limo or other service, but she says no.

My brother in law just got married 3 weeks ago.It was a small and simple wedding but they had a good size reception about 65 people in a hall and it was catered.They say that this was the civil wedding and that next year they will be having the religious one with a much bigger reception.They are having the second one for show and in hopes that more family members will give gifts since not everyone came to the first one.My husband was the best man at this wedding.Does he need to do it again for the second one?He does not want to be in the second wedding.Also do we need to give another gift?And finally is it wrong to only go to the reception of the second wedding?or maybe not to either one?The first wedding was where we lived and this one we will have to fly out of town to go to.My husband and his brother do not talk very much or get along well.But I am torn at what to do.Any suggestions????
