When giving a gift at a wedding, should you leave the price tags on them just in case they have to take something back? The things I bought her were on her registry, but they gave me a gift receipt just in case. This is my first wedding. What do I do?

We have been having problems with our Virgin, but now they are offering us a 'best' wedding package for the resort for us to stay booked with them. It sounds excellent and the ceremony set up looks great on the gazebo...

BUT it means we are getting married between 6pm-7:30pm.... opposed to our booked 4pm ceremony! Its only a 2hr difference but doesnt it get dark quickly around that time in Jamaica!!

We are wondering about taking the pictures so late in the evening.... will people start getting bored with such as late start in the day... the whole wedding (ceremony/photos/reception) won't finish til 11pm, and there are 15children attending!!

Whats the light like for pictures in Jamaica around 6-7pm?
How can we keep the children entertained till 11pm!!

Help

I need your input!

My girlfriend of 6 years and I are planning to marry. Last year my grandfather died. He and I were very close. Being the only grandchild I was given the family business, tons of property and his estate. I sold the property and business and became a multi millionaire in just days. Before dying my grandfather said to invest the money and property to which I would recieve.

My girlfriend since this time has quit her job and is trying to convience me to sell off the estate and cash out most of my investments. She keeps saying "our" money. I did what my grandfather wanted me to do and live off the intrest of $5,000 a month. The wedding went from $10,000 to almost $50,000 and its still going up. I want to go back to school and live on this budget, but my g/f says I'm being stingy and not to worry because I have enough money.

This is getting old fast! Should I dump her (which I really don't want to do) or get over it and have her sign a pre-nup??

For children that are over 18 but still live at home, do you absolutely need to send a separate invitation to them, or can you include them on their parents invite? Thanks!

trying to establish protocol in an uncomfortable situation as not to offend me, the bride or the bride's father. We intend to ask the bride as it has not been mentioned but we would like to establish what is considered the "norm" first.

I am the fiance' of the father of the bride and would rather not attend a wedding where the former wife and the "step daughter" choose to not acknowledge the fiance' as part of the family. The father really wants me to attend but I don't know to what extent I am to be involved. What is proper? The whole thing just feels completely weird and uncomfortable.

If I make a webpage on www.theknot.com for our wedding, can I put something in the invitation to let the guests know about our page, or would that be tacky or rude?

Me and my fiance live in Alaska and it costs $500-$800 to get to Texas where our wedding is. My fiance's supervisor bought our tickets w/ his airline miles and we were wondering how to show him and his wife how grateful we are and how much we appreciate it since we were low on funds. Any ideas?

I am happily married 13 years and my husband and I are going to be married 14 years.

When we got engaged there was no element of suprise and it was very causal and not terribly romantic.

We had a lot of people on our case to hold off on being married as long as possible until we had jobs.

Being that we were going to have a long time to wait I wanted to at least be enagaged to have SOME sort of a commitment,
I love my ring it is understated yet beatuiful and symboloises purity in our lives. We went by the water he asked me and put the ring on my finger and I of course said yes.

My question is for my 14 wedding anniveresery we will be going to the mountains to celebrate what is a way to renew our vows and be spontaneous? I also asked if my husband could propose to me again with a ring of his choosing.

What is a great way to re takes our vows and make our weekend very memeorable and speical. Do you dress up when you renew your vows?

Tell your story of the guests at weddings you have heard of, who did ghastly things. I have heard of 2:

1. Guests who were close family and friends who missed the wedding because it was the day of the big football game they had to attend instead
2. At a wedding with a cash bar, guests ripped open wedding cards looking for cash and spent what they found on drinks at the bar

i was just bored and browsing ebay... i saw bridal (and baby) shower raffle invites/raffle tickets.
it said "funds for the bride and groom and a prize for the winner"
i think it's a cute idea. and i got to thinking it's not so bad... you have dollar dances and things like that... a raffle if you have a realllly cool prize (or prizes) is cool.

would you think it's tacky or would you buy in at a shower or reception?

We want all of the people who are really special to us at our wedding, of course. As we've been creating our guest list, we've been getting into, "well if we invite so and so then we have to invite so and so...." and we're up to 200 people. We'd like to cut our list back some, maybe to 150 or so. There are friends who we're closer to than some family, but a lot of family have to stay on the list. I can't just cut out a few people from my family and invite the rest. Should we just fork over the extra cash to have the extra guests and spare their feelings??
Please help...

Hi, I'm considering chalton house (london) as a venue for my wedding next year. However, my searches on the net aren't bringing up very many pictures of the rooms / gardens / venue in general. Has anyone had / attending a wedding there that may be able to share their pictures with me? or, do you know of any websites that have a large range of pictures of the venue (ceremony rooms and gardens)
Thank you.

Me and my partner want to get married very soon, the problem is his family hate me.
They are very bitchy people and slag everyone off and because i wont join in with them and because i was a single mom when we got together they have taken a total dislike to me for the last 3 and a half years.
I have tried so hard to get on with them but im not doing it no more and told my boyfriend i wont be going to see any of his family again.
I really dont know wheather to invite them though, at the end of the day they are still his family and he loves them.
I would love to know what other people think

My uncle is getting married for the 2nd time to his girlfriend of 10 years, (bit of background for more info) we are a small family (only him and my mum and i'm one of four cousins) we xmas together every year and get together for birthdays etc.

Anyway the dilemma, hes getting married in a registry office and I have received the invite with only my name on it (not my boyf of 2 years whom I live with) so I rang up my unc to ask if it was ok for him to come and he said no, partners were not invited as was a small occasion (the only thing i'm the only cousin with a partner and feel that I am being singled out and I feel really mean leaving him out of a family event when he is a huge part of my life)

What would you do?!!?

I'm 23, fiance is 24. This past summer I have been going out more (I need to socialize more since my best friends ditched me).. and he hates it. If I go out with my other friends, the "silent treatment" when I get home is worse than when I go out with him and his friends.

It's like I can only drink when it is convenient with him, never if I decide to drink on my own and with some friends. Tonight he said my "drinking is splitting us apart"..wtf? I NEVER get drunk.. and I only have a few beers to get "tipsy" and that's it.

It's odd though because last night I thought the same thing. If I weren't with him.. I could drink in moderation and not care about what he thinks. In reality, I could move back in w/mom.. finish school.. save more $ and have a healthier diet.. as well as just living with my dogs (that don't $hit and pi$$ everywhere like his dogs).

I'm just so mad everything. What do you think our problem is? Is it my drinking or his insecurities?

I have been with my boyfriend for almost 4 years now, and have been living together for 2 of them. We even bought a condo and a cat together. Whenever I ask him if we're going to get married, he says yes someday, but implies that someday won't be any day soon. He did take me to look at rings a couple months ago which made me think it would happen soon, but then nothing happened. He told me today that "it's nothing personal," but he "just doesn't care about marriage" the way I do. He claims that marriage is just a contract and that we basically already are married. What should I think of this? We're in our 20s, with no previous bad experiences with exes.

I guess what I'm asking is this: is he going to propose to me someday soon, or am I supposed to be his girlfriend my whole life? Should I be offended that he only thinks of marriage as a contract?

I'll be providing a meal option card with my invites, and was going to send only the healthy options to the bigger people. This way they do something healthy for themselves at my wedding, and the rest of us don't have to watch them suck down pork loins.
