Mike and I had a party to introduce our bridal party to each other, our best friends, Mike’s sister, brother-in-law, niece and nephew. Our parents were also there.

Abby our 4 year-old flower girl was an absolute hellion. Neither parents nor grandparents did a thing to make her behave. She threw several tantrums. She wanted a cupcake for dessert and when her mother said not yet, Abby hit her several times and her mother did nothing! Mike’s dad said that’s not nice, and she hit him! Her behavior is worse each time we see them. Everyone insists that she’ll be an angel for the wedding, that at five she’ll behave much better. But she’s always like this and no one does anything to discipline her.

Because of her horrid behavior, I want Abby out of the wedding. Mike doesn’t want sis dropping out of the wedding and is afraid his family’s feelings will be hurt. I said that mine will be hurt a lot more if she ruins our wedding day.

Am I wrong here? I need some good advice!

Ok here's the thing im throwing a bachelorette party for my soon to be sister in law... She doesn't like to drink and she is NOT a very big people person... she LOVES hangin out with her closest friends.. but doesn't like the bar scene or club scene...

What if any... ideas do ya'll have for something i could for her.. on a pretty strict budget. I think im going to invite the bridemaids that will be here.. and then a couple of her other closest friends that she hangs out with a lot.

She said we could make ya know the cake that's in the shape of the pee pee. And ya know pee pee balloons... but i don't know what else to do for it!

I can't spend very much money because im a poor college student.. so ANY ideas if any.. would be GREAT!!

Thanks soo much!!

If you looked at someone's wedding registry and saw stuff listed like sports equipment, kids furniture, toys, plasma TV and HD-DVD, things that were not what a starting out couple needs for a home, would you be somewhat offended? Or just buy it because that is what they want?

Is "all's fair" in registries, or are there guidelines?

My husband and I will be going to two weddings: my co-worker in October and a friend in November. We don't want to spend too much nor give too little.

Has anyone had any experience with this particular store?

Good/Bad?

Please let me know. I've been reading horror stories about David's Bridal and I'm thinking about NOT taking a trip to check out their dresses.

Please answer ONLY if you have been to the HAGERSTOWN MARYLAND David's Bridal store. Whether as a Bride, or in the Bridal Party.

Thank you.

I was roommates and close friends with this girl all 4 years of college. We're from the same hometown and survived nursing school together..well, she got married last year and didn't invite me to be one of her bridesmaids... I was really shocked (and other people were too). Actually, I was hurt by it..I really thought that I was going to be asked. Now my wedding is coming up and I had always thought of asking her to be in my wedding party, but now that I wasn't in hers, should I still have her in mine?

I am asking my sister to be my maid of honor this weekend. She is my only sister so she pretty much already knows, but I would still like to do something special to ask her. Anyone have any suggestion on fun/unique ways on how to ask her?
Thanks!

My fiance's childhood pastor (who is also the mother of a longtime friend) will be marrying us next month. We are meeting with her this evening to go over ceremony details. There has been no mention of her fee. Would it be impolite of me to simply ask her what her fee is for the ceremony, or should I wait until she says something to us? Also, do you generally tip a pastor? Thanks in advance for the advice!

What crazy things has your fiance come up with for the wedding? I want to hear the weirdest and wackiest things they wanted.
Mine wanted the men in the bridal party to wear blue wifebeater singlets on the beach. The worst part is I think he was serious!

The groom asked my husband 2 B in his wedding, then 2 weeks later the bride asked me if my 2 sons could B in their wedding. We agreed, but recently were advised tux rentals 4 ea R $170! $510 cost out of pocket which is pathedic. Wedding is in 2 weeks. I advised her that the cost was astronomical, so they R paying 4 the children's tux's. Anyway, there R a total of 22 people in this wedding. They R getting married @ a park, 45 minutes away, the ceremony is 2 B outside under a tree, no seating for guests, everyone is 2 stand & watch - have to pay a $5 park fee just to enter the park too. I'm also the photographer 4 the wedding. The bride informs me yesterday, that they are not sure now if they are going to have a reception because the hall they were having the reception @ is now upping the price of the catering because the caterer's changed. I think this is quite rude to have your wedding party shell out $$ for a 10 min ceremony outside & no reception. What would U do? Please adv.

I think the idea is offensive and disrespectful to me. I'm fairly certain that my father would feel the same way. I'm not his properly. I'm a grown woman who is completely capable of making her own choices about marriage and choosing a partner.

Asking for the father's permission reflects a time when women were looked at as property, even a burden on men because of a society, run by men, that didn't allow for women to provide for themselves. This is clearly not the case anymore. I find it sickening that people still do this.

Now, when my fiance and I got engaged it was me who brought up the idea that we should get married and we skipped the formalities and ring and just went straight to announcing our engagement, but if he had said he wanted to ask my father, I would have had to have said no on marriage and probably broke up with him right then and there. He wouldn't have been the partner I thought he was. Anyone else?

I have two weddings to attend. I thought I'd cheat and wear the same dress to two different weddings which have different guests.
The first wedding is my boyfriend's cousin wedding which will be held in a Catholic church in the afternoon at 2 in October; followed by reception near the harbour at 6. I know very little about his cousin, however his extended family will be there and they are all dying to meet me. I don't want to make a bad impression-but don't want to look bad either.

The second wedding is that of my best friend. The dress in the link I chose initially for her wedding. But have decided to wear it early to my boyfriend's cousin wedding.
I just want to look good for her and make her day without taking the attention away from her. Her wedding will be in a church and a reception hall on a Sunday in November.

P.S My boyfriend chose the dress on my behalf and his mum loves it too and approves it for the wedding.

My brother is getting married. The wedding, under 100 people, is being thrown by the bride's parents. My relationship with my in-laws is good on the surface but I don't really like them or appreciate things that have been said/done in the past. Truthfully I have been looking forward to the wedding and feel their presence would ruin the day for me a little bit. My parents aren't friends with them but I think my husband expects them to be invited and says they will be offended if they are not. I don't want to make waves but I don't think they should expect an invite. Do we just say that we were only able to invite a limited number of people per the bride's parents and leave it at that?
