I'm 27 and I've never worn make-up in public before (too embarrassed). The skin of my face is quite scarred from acne so I'd probably have to wear a very thick foundation and I think it would end up looking silly - besides I don't think I'd look like "me" since nobody has ever seen me with make-up on.

But lots of people say I should because I'll regret it if I don't look stunning in my photos. What do you think? I'd like opinions from both men and women.

How much say is your partner getting?
Does he or she want to be involved?
How much time do you spend planning every week?
And, if it's not obvious from your Avatar or name, are you the bride or the groom?

My boyfriend and I plan on getting engaged and then married sometime in the near future, but we're trying to get our stuff together(school, insurance, finances, etc.). Everyone we're close to keeps nagging us about when we're gonna get engaged(by everyone I mean his parents and my parents, our siblings, friends, EVERYONE!!!!). His mom even went so far as to look up engagement rings online, without telling him(he caught her doing it), and my mom even went as far as pulling her veil out of storage to see if I'd like it. There's so much that we have to get together before we could get engaged, we're ready to get married, we are just too broke to actually get married. I've told my family, friends, etc., to stop bothering me about it, that it will happen when it happens, and he's done the same thing, but they still bother us about it. What can we say or do to get them to stop nagging us? Is there anything we can do, is there a solution at all?

I am getting married in a month and when planning the guest list...had only 50 invitations to work with based on what my fiance and I can afford. We started with main family members (moms, dads, grandparents, aunts/uncles, and some cousins, and used the remainder for close friends. Now my family feels the need to upset me and critique the family members I did and didn't send an invite to. My fiance and I are paying for our own wedding so I think it's fair for us to invite who we want to spend the day with. Is this wrong of me to assume? My family brings along a lot of drama and I feel like my wedding day should be spent celebrating my fiance's and my relationship and committment....not arguing over distant relatives that didn't get an invitation. Ugh.

I'm looking for an inexpensive location to hold my wedding reception. The date will me August 9th, 2008. I'm expecting between 250 and 300 people. I know, that's a LOT. I don't want to blow my budget, but I don't want to have my wedding in a dump. Can anyone help me find an interesting, inexpensive location to have my reception?
Thanks in advance.

My best friend recently got married, and I was the Maid of Honor; I have not spoken to her since her wedding a month ago. I'm not sure if I'm overreacting or not, but I feel used and disgusted by her behavior up until the wedding.

First off, between myself and the bridesmaid, we spent close to $2000 on wedding materials (bought her favors, dresses, etc.) and the bride didn't seem to care how much we spent; to top it all off, the groom's side did not shell out one cent for the wedding.

Second, there were no "thank you" gifts at the wedding for us (not even a thank you for all of your efforts in her speech).

Third, I spent close to 8 hours preparing a slideshow and my efforts went unseen.

I guess my main question is, is it wrong of me to not want to speak to her (knowing her for 10 yrs), as I'm so angry that she had total disregard for me (MOH) and the bridesmaid? I'm just not sure how I should handle the whole thing, as it is not easy to confront her (pig headed).

I'm already engaged and I have been engaged for a year. We also live together. When he asked me to marry him he said it would be a long term engagement, and we didn't even set a date but I'm ready get married though and thought it would be nice if we got married on New Year's Eve but he said he wasn't ready yet, though. I don't get. I mean we've been engaged a year and I thought that was long enough. I know his parents don't like me because I don't want to sign a pre-nup but I really hope that's not why he's waiting. What do you guys think is going on? Does he really want to marry me anymore?

Through a paternity test, my boyfriend just found out last week that he is a father of a newborn. We are engaged to be married in a few months and I am having a hard time dealing with this unexpected situation. I am also disappointed in him because he is still denying that the child is his and is refusing to be in the child's life because the woman was in a relationship and had also accused another man as being the father. Should I go on with marrying him or move on?

I guess he thinks that its ok to get one more fling before he ties the knot. I don't know the girl he's about to marry so I would not feel comfortable at all telling her this, but she seems like a nice woman almost innocent and totally involved in this whole getting married thing. Is she too blind to see that he's a total jerk?Anyway he says he really loves her and he's happy about getting married, except he feels like he needs to have one more encounter before its too late. Are a lot of guys like this before getting married? Is it just cold feet? I know he talks to an old flame of his on a regular basis so I would not be suprised if he did it with her. But I always hear that guys get antsy before they get married but does that make this ok? I know if My BF did this I would never forgive him. I mean if you are really in love you wouldnt feel the need to do this. Why would someone think its ok. He says No Way would he cheat after the i do's but who knows????

My fiance and I are having a hard time sticking to our guest list limit. We have some really close friends who we want there, along with our family, but then we feel we get into, "well if we invite so and so, we probably should invite so and so".We really can afford to have a ton of extra guests, unless we went to more of a 'cake and punch' reception. Anyway...like I stated before, if I was invited to someone's wedding a couple years back, am I obligated to invite them to mine?

I wasn't invited as I became aquainted with this person, long after the wedding guest list was set up. However, I was aware of the wedding, the date, even met her fiance. Thing is she moved to Washington the day after the wedding. I didn't have a chance to stop by and congratulate or see her off. I did email her and congratulate her...and commented her on the wedding photos. I got her address now, I was wondering is it tacky to send a gift & congrates card 1 month after the big day. She knows I have a hectic schedual with work and family, so I haven't got to mail the package off yet.
Should I still mail it out or should I just leave it at the email congrats?

My boyfriend and I have will have been together 2 years this Christmas. We're 19 and 21. It's always been an open discussion that we DO want to get married. But our idea has always been to get married when we finish college. This will take at the LEAST 2 years for both of us to be finished. We live together and have a cat together and pretty much act like we are married. I've been seriously considering getting married earlier than after school... like next summer. I've thought about it a lot. I asked him if he has ever thought about it, he said he has, but always decides against it because he is not ready, we cant afford it and don't have time due to school. i told him that i know we can afford it (we honestly can) and if we do it in the summer, we would have plenty of time. He still says he is just not ready. I don't get it! We LIVE together! Whats the difference in doing what we do now, and getting married?? He ACTS like he is ready, but says he is not. And we are 100% happy. Help?

I am having disposable cameras laying out around the reception site... but I want to put a little note on the camera so that people know to take a few pictures and then put the camera back down for someone else to use. Obviously people know they arent supposed to take the camera home with them, but I dont want them keeping the same camera throughout the whole reception because I will have a camera with nothing but pictures of them on it... I just want pictures taken here and there and leave the cameras where they were... what little cute saying can I type up and tape to the camera?

I told one of my friends that she can be my maid of honor, but I dont think that she can be up to that duty, shes always busy, and seems a little distant to me these days. I want a different friend of mine to be the MOH now. How can I let her down gently? or should i just give her a chance?

So, I've been dating my boyfriend for 3 years. We want to get married, but we don't have a timeline for when.

Anyway, I have an account on a wedding website. I basically go on their and talk to the other brides and even ask basic planning questions. Wedding just interest me...... But trust me, I don't have a dress or venue picked out. Just lots of ideas in my head.

Well, the other night I was at his house. He had to run to the grocery store, so I stayed behind and was on his computer. I signed into my wedding account and started playing around.

Well, I just realized I forgot to delete my history and signout of my account. I'm afraid, I've been caught.

He was acting a bit strange towards me today. Like something was bothering him.......I could be crazy. But, I think he found out about "my little secret hobby"

What do I do?

I don't want him thinking I'm PSYCHO. On the forum, I refer to him as my Fi and we are getting married in two years.

I'm stuck..
