Problem: The groom wants to make all the decisons in the wedding plans. First, we are planning on getting married at his church, we are planning on using his extended family catering business to do the food, we already got his cousin doing the invitations, he already inviting more guest than me (120 of my guest, and 250 of his guest), he also has more people in the wedding party than me, he also wanted a Junanoo to present us to the reception, we have his aunt to be the MC during the reception. So I decided to hire a wedding planner to help me with the rest, but the groom thinks I am wasting money and that wedding planners rip people off. So now, he wants his other cousins to do the decorations for cememony and reception, get the limos, and etc. Basically everything. So, I told him that I really want my family to be involved in this wedding planning. He tells me that I am dissing his family. So, my question is who is the bride and who makes the most decisions in wedding plans?

I am struggling to come up with ideas for gifts for my bridesmaids. I will already be paying for their hair and jewelry, but I want to get each of them something more special as a gift. Any ideas?

We got a total of $5,000 from wedding gifts. We went on our honeymoon, paid off a couple things and now we have about $4,000 left. What would be the best way to spend or invest it?

My mom & I get along very well but we have differences too like religious belief. She wanted me to get married in her belief which I don't want & don't like. She's threatening me that she's not going to attend my wedding if I will not follow what she wants. :(. The only reason why I am pushing this big wedding thing (although this is not practical for me) is because of them. I am their one & only daughter and they will be happy to see me walking down the aisle.

There are 5 of us bridesmaids and we are splitting the cost, the maid of honor is the brides sister who decided to hold it at a restaurant.The price per person was 22.50, then the other day she tells us with tax and tip it comes to 37.40!! plus decorations and a gift and favors, today she tells me that we each owe 443$ ! Is it just me or is this insane?

My finacee and I picked out this amazing 1/2 karot ring from Walmarts. It costs 700 dollars and it's beautiful. We never even looked at Walmarts, just jewelry stores. I saw almost the exact same ring but with smaller diamonds at a jewlery store for over 2,000 dollars but it was 1/4 karot. I looked the rings at Walmart on a whim and saw this beautiful diamond ring and just knew it was the one for me.

Only problem is one of my friends found out it was from Walmart and she thinks it's trashy to have a walmart ring and keeps making fun of it whenever we are out among all our friends. Her fiancee bought her a ring at a jewlery store and paid twice as much as mine but I don't think hers is as nice.

Do you see anything wrong with an engagment ring from walmarts as long as it's pretty and is real diamond?

My fiance and I planned to get married on September 25. I found out that's the day Halo 3 comes out and I just want to postpone our wedding by a month (to October 25) so I have a month to play Halo 3 with my friends. She won't let me and she's even thinking of calling off the wedding. Please help. How do I talk some sense into her? It's just one month anyway.

Have some friends who are thinking of getting married in vegas with some close family and friends attending. Wouldnt be more than 50 people. I want to know if anyone has done this, and what their experience was. Where they did it, how much fun it was, expenses, what your guests thought, you know i want to know everything. Especially outdoor pool(by the water), garden, golf course weddings, as they are not the gonna get married in a chapel type of couple. Are there reception packages that were included in a wedding package?

We are getting married in 6 months and can have 100 people at our venue. The problem is that we have too many people that 'can't be cut'. My Fi's mum says she wants each of her 8 siblings there and a few extra family members, as well as cousins etc but if we invite all of these family members we don't get to have any more than 10 friends. If we were close to these people that would be fine but I have not even met some of these people, some I met for the first time at our Engagement party and some I have met twice in our 8 years together.
We are a very social couple and see our wedding day as a party to celebrate our love with our friends and family but we are being pressured into having only family because it is the 'right thing to do'.
Is there a tactful way to not invite all of these family members without causing grief between my fi and his mum?

Some hire me because I'm a Veteran. They ask me if I'm all for the war. (At every wedding) I say "I'm agains the war due to us losing the war like Vietnam".

I want to have a rehearsal dinner. My parents are paying for the wedding (I am a SAHM so money is tight and they offered). They have been gracious and wonderful. My Mother informed me yesterday that they can't pay for the rehearsal dinner because there is just too much to pay for and they can't afford it-which is fine with me. They have done so much for us that it is her decision and I am 100% on board with what she decides. She wants to take us, my brothers, and my grandmother to dinner but not the bridal party/soon to be monster in laws. My in-laws refuse to pay for anything-fine. Here's the dilemma: Because our wedding party is doing so much and spending so much, I want to pay for their dinners . However I hate my in-laws and refuse to pay for them. Do I HAVE to invite them? Or tell them they are welcome to come but they have to pay for their own meal? I'm at the point where I don't even want them at the rehearsal. My fiancee doesn't seem to care either way.

My semi-significant other's sister is getting married in a few weeks, his invitation was addressed to him '& Guest' however he had decided not to invite me but rather go alone because I am pregnant (I will be 5 months along at the time of the wedding) & he does not want to deal with the extended family's questions about my pregnancy. He also says he doesn't want to bring me because he will most likely be drinking & doesn't want to have to worry about me. His immediate family has met me & knows of the pregnancy (including the sister who is getting married). We do not live together but plan in the very near future to buy a house & raise the baby together. I'm quite upset/angry over this & have thoroughly expressed my feelings to no avail. Am I correct in feeling this way?
