Weddings - October 2007

I got married August 4th and now it's time to send out the thank you cards. The issue I have is some very very good friends of ours came but we never saw a gift from them. Not that we wants gifts nor do we care for them. But these friends were telling us what they were getting us for our gift and on the wedding day we did not see one from them. Then just a few days ago they asked us if another friend gave a gift and we said no and they said oh really. Now that got me thinking ...why would they ask us that if they did not get us a gift. I feel awful because I will send them a card thanking them for their presence at our wedding. But I'm afraid that maybe they did get a gift and we never recieved it?? I want to ask but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. I was just going to include a thank you for a gift...just to cover...just in case. What do I do???

My fiance agreed to have the wedding in Mexico so all my family would be able to attend. Big church, party and family wedding is all I wanted besides the gorgeous gown, of course. Now that we are having trouble with our wedding planner and decided to fire her he seems to have changed his mind about getting married in Mexico. He feels we will get ripped off by vendors there since we dont live in the area and would have to do business over the phone and internet. I also think it is because he probably doesnt want his family going there since it is not as nice as a carribean wedding which is what he wants. The problem is I would have to change everything I have ever wanted at my wedding. I won't be able to have a church wedding or the big gown I want or have all of my family there. Not to mention the flight and hotel stay there would cost my parents alot more than a Mexico wedding. I know it should be about us being married and not the place. Should I give up my dream wedding?

Can someone give me any ideas about what they did for nervousness before the wedding? I am getting married in a few weeks...I am not nervous at all about my fiance, things are wonderful on that end. As its getting closer I feel overwhelmed with all the things that need to be straight for the wedding and then just thinking of packing at the same time to move all my stuff into his house, I feel like I am starting to lose my mind! And it seems like everyone asks a million questions about what your doing and then gives you advice on what would be their way and why what your doing isnt good enough?? and thats stressful too! What did you guys do to relax ??? I also have really bad lupus so things are taking me longer than normal to get things accomplished... I think thats bothering me too.. ;(

And no nasty answers please,

- Thanks in advance everyone - ;)

Example if it costs the bride and groom $50 pp and you bring a guest to the reception should your wedding gift be no less than $100

i hired a photographer for my wedding and he did not take any of the important pictures. he told me he dident take pictures of my family because he might not have liked how they looked at the time. he did not post any photos of my dad giving me away even though i have the picture, of him taking a picture. i had him for 6 hours and all my photos are of the same things. he got more of other people than me and my husband. he admitted he found some photos and sent me two but he calims he has no other ones. how can he take pictures for 6 hours and have over a 100 of the same photos. what are they surpose to take pictures of? he took pictures of my bridesmaid with out a head just her holding flowers.... is that normal? any photographers out there know of this is right?

So me and my boyfriend have been living together for 2 years, he is currently building a house for us. I thought we were at that stage where he would ask me to marry him soon. Last night her told me that a friend of ours is going to propose to his girlfriend (they are the only friends of ours other than us who are not engaged or married) I found myself not be happy for them but angry and jealous. I just thought it would be my turn next, and I'm starting to feel like he is never going to propose to me. We talk about it from time to time and he says he does want to marry me. I dont want to pressure him by bringing it up but how do I stop being angry about this and jealous?

Since I've seen questions asking for horror stories, I figured I'd ask for positive ones.
Did you take advantage of the "Bridal Rewards" program, what did you think? and if you dealt with a store in NJ or PA, could you mention the town the store was in (I'm in that area).
I dropped into one last night and picked up the books of dresses and was happy with what I saw and it looks like their dresses are comparably priced to what I've seen online that I like.

Ive found a travel agent that is sympathetic to my dietary needs. YEAH! Now were having a hard time deciding where to go (our anniversary is in march)

An all inclusive cruise to a warmer climate: mexico, south america, bahamas.

A BEAUTIFUL B&B about 2 hours from where were going to be living, but they want $295-$350 a night.

Hubby has mentioned he would be more in favor of staying of staying closer to home because of our children. I want to go on the cruise because it's something different, and we don't have to pay extra for our food, plus we would be paying more if we stayed at the B&B. My brother and his wife are going to take care of the kids. So we know they will be well taken care of. What should we do?

Opinions are greatly appreciated.

We are getting married next year and we asked his mother to put together a list of the guests from her side. We will have 100 guests total and his parents' guests will be about 70. So it is a big chunk of the list. I got mine done weeks ago even though most of them are not even in US. She kept 'forgetting' to do it. It's been almost a month now. Whenever she gives us a 'new deadline' for the list to be done, my fiance calls her on the due date, and as usual she hasn't even started on it. I thought maybe I was being too hard on her because getting together people's name and address for 100 people is not that easy. But her meaning of guest list was just jotting down some names and she isn't even doing that. Now I am afraid that when I ask her do something related to the wedding, she'll be like this. How can we tell her gently without hurting her feelings that she needs do her tasks on time?

My Wedding is in 10 months. I have 4 bridesmaids in my wedding. and My Fiance has only 1 guy standing in the wedding. My Fiance best friend said he couldn't stand in the wedding because his wife thinks there would be hot women in the wedding party.(which my bridesmaids happen to be married with kids anyway) I can't uninvite my bridesmaids and My Fiance family is from Russia and 99% of the family still lives there. He is also an only child. What can I do. I am really desperate for answers. My Fiance is very shy so his friends are far and few between. HELP!
