Weddings - August 2007

I've been with my partner for 3 years now, and we've recently been discussing the whole business of marriage. Neither of us are keen on it, and would prefer a low-key commitment ceremony instead. He's been shopping for a ring that I will wear as an 'engagement ring', but will be more of a commitment promise ring.

My dilemma - how would I announce it? I'm just as excited as anyone getting engaged, and I'll be wearing the ring on my right ring finger, I just want people to understand that this is still a very special moment for the boy and I - even when marriage will never be a part of it.

So how do I announce the engagement that really isn't...?

Working on the bridal shower...The bride in question has decided that the best gifts will be lingerie, spa treatments and bathing items (stuff for taking a bath, not equipping the room).

What do you propose we call this in the invitation? Is it a "personal beauty" theme? "Intimate Beauty"? Any and all suggestions are welcome...Thanks!

I'm just wondering. Open bar is CRAZY expensive-I've been to a ton of weddings with cash bars and I don't even think twice about it, but I've heard/read some really snarky comments from people about them. So I'm curious what people think?

So, the big day finally came, and I was part of the wedding party. Right after the ceremony, i started drinking. By the time i was asked to leave at 9pm, i pretty much pissed off everybody, accused of hitting on two 17 years old, a married woman, of making some guests leave, and ruining everything.

I have never felt so ashamed. It has been two days, but i have been avoiding everybody, especially my parents, since I feel that I have let them down. I don't live at home but i live close enough to usually visit them on sundays. i don't know when i will be able to face them once they get word of what happened since they left the wedding early.

i have been seriously thinking about giving up alcohol completely because i know see is that all it takes is one bad judgement call to make a mistake, and i want to be able to show how badly i feel about everything.

it was all my fault, i am accepting the consequences for everything. i just don't know where to go from here.

My boyfriend and I have been together for over a year and living together for just about a year... I love him and I know he loves me and occasionally one of us will mention getting married. He wants to move north and buy a house. The thing is, I keep getting the feeling that he wants nothing to do with getting married. Now, I dont want to get married next week or anything, but I would like to have it in my future and I am afraid that I'll just be waiting forever. Everytime I want to talk about something serious in our relationship (like when he asked me to move in) he acts goofy and tries to avoid the question. Now I find myself thinking about wedding stuff non-stop! I have almost every aspect of my wedding planned and I cant seem to stop. What do I do? I will probably end up waiting forever because I love him but I wonder if I am putting to much emphasis on getting married... Is there still a valid reason to get married or am I just following the Cindarella dream?

I'm not engaged, but my mama and I got on the topic of weddings the other day and I figured I'd ask this and see what y'all thought about it.
My mama is pretty much my best friend and when we got to talking about weddings she said something about her being my MOH. I told her I would absolutely LOVE it if she could, but her duties as the MOB would be plenty without adding those of the MOH. She said "oh, yeah" and we went on talking about our topic. However, afterwards, i began thinking more about it. What would you think if the MOB was also the MOH? I'm very traditional so I'm a little if-y on that thought, but I don't think it would be THAT bad of an idea.
Your thoughts?

I want to include my sister's best friend (who is 18) in my wedding, but I don't have any room for more bridesmaids. Since I don't have a flower girl, I thought it would be nice to have her do it, although she would be more of a "flower-maid" because she's not really a girl anymore. She is really excited about it.

Does anyone have any ideas or feelings about this? I don't want it to be really weird; is there possibly something else she could do instead of throwing flower petals to make it seem a little less childish?

I'd like to find a unique and different way to wrap a wedding present for a couple who is having a wedding this fall. What types of materials would be neat, any decorating ideas that you have done that the bride and groom just loved? Thanks for your help.

I am 23 and he's 27. I don't understand why he would say that he wants to spend forever with me, yet he thinks that marriage is only a piece of paper.
