I'm not thinking about it...just curious as to what *you* would do.

I personally don't like wearing rings, and I would never wear either an engagement or a wedding ring, but not everyone is like this and lots of men wear rings...so....?

What is a reasonably amount that you would have the girls in your bridal party pay for a Brides dress?? I know for myself if I was getting married I would try to be reasonable and fair to all the girls and not just accomodate to one or too do you agree???

Scenario: Your best friend since you were 8 is getting married and would like for you to be her Matron of Honor. (Typically the matron of honor is married and walks by herself)

In this scenario there are two a Matrons of Honor, (for understanding purposes we will call them Matron 1 & Matron 2) and they were supposed to walk either by themselves or with each other.

The bride decides at the last moment that her wedding party may look a little lop sided if they don’t walk with someone, and has the Groom choose two more men to be his groomsmen, ironically one of the men he chooses happens to be Matron 1’s husband.

Now! The Matron 2 is upset and feels as if her marriage is being insulted because she doesn’t get to walk with her husband.

Matron 2 tells bride day of wedding that because of this she will not be able to be in the wedding?

Is the bride wrong for letting one Matron walk with her husband and not the other?

Or is Matron #2 wrong for not being in the wedding?

A lot of people were commenting that it would be rude to have a ceremony without a reception or something along those lines. But isn't the important part the ceremony? Isn't that the part we are supposed to celebrate with the couple? I thought the reception was more like a thank you to the guests for coming but not really necessary.

Thoughts and comments?

I'm having an outdoor wedding with about 100 guests and there really isn't a way to set up mics and speakers. I was wondering how important it is that the vows be heard by all the guests? I've been to a handful of weddings and I don't really remember hearing them.

Yes, the price is high, and the shoes are $70. I know the bride wants the best, but I am not working right now, and would not let the bride know about that. Plus there is the gift of at least a $100 for the bridal shower and then the gift of another $100 for the wedding. This is at least $650 that I don't have or have in savings at all. Credit card is the only way to go.

Any other bridesmaids financially strapped?

I've just bought a gorgeous red dress to wear to the wedding of a friend of my boyfriend - only to learn that the bride is wearing red! I know the etiquette about not wearing white so you don't upstage the bride - do you think this applies to other colours too? My dress is knee-length and lightly patterned, so not "gown-like", although I don't actually know how formal the bride's dress is.

So Saturday I went with three of the four bridesmaids in my wedding to pick out a dress. The fourth one came down with a cold and cancelled the day before. The other girls put their money down but the store will not order them until the last girl comes in to get measured.

I e-mailed the fourth girl with the absolute latest she can go in, nicely explaining the situation. She writes back that she is sick and she doesn't know when she will be able to go because she is going on vacation soon. At first I thought, ok because she is sick and still has a few weeks before she really needs to go.

Now I found out that not only did she go to a concert the night she was too "sick" to go. And she thinks I am being "selfish" because I want her measurements in by mid-November. Any later and the dress won't come in on time, and not just her dress - the other girls dresses too. I am trying so hard not to be Bridezilla, do you think I'm being selfish?

You know, hubby and I have been married for over 17 years and lived in the same house with the same address that is listed in the phone book for all of our married years. Once again, one of my cousins is getting married and we did not get an invitation mailed to us, but rather we were added (& Family) on my parents invitation.

You know, this is really starting to bother me. First off, my mother never remembers to tell us. The only reason I found out is because my parents own a store which hubby works at and he found the invitation. And second, we are grown adults that DO NOT live with my parents.

How do you feel about this practice? I am just getting sick of not formally being invited! Besides, mom threw away the inside envelope that would list who was invited and she cant remember if it said & family or not. I am close to my cousin so I know he wouldnt leave us out intentionally.

My best friend is getting married and her sisters have decided that the party is going to be held in a restaurant and will be funded by all the bridesmaids (the sisters are the maids of honor). The shower is going to cost $118 each, and we are also each expected to each come up with a game to play and provide a gift for the winner of the game also. Seeing as I'm already spending so much for the shower itself, am I still supposed to buy a shower gift to give to my friend on top of it?

Hello!

I am a married man and have been for nearly two years now. I am just getting around to creating my own DVD of our wedding, reception, ect. I didn't have the opportunity to get one made when I was married. So, here I go.

I am looking for anyone to suggest a list (or partial) list of questions to conduct a self video interview of myself and my wife together. It is meant to be fun and funny. Nothing really serious. An example question would be: "What is the most irritating thing your spouse did when you were first married?"
or "Did you find him hard to live with?" or "What is the kindest thing he/she has even done for you?" or "What is your biggest pet peeve you have of the other?"

These are just suggestions. I am adding this video interview and using my creative editing to add some video creativity and make it a lot of fun. I am leaving on vacation the next day or so and would like to conduct the interview tonight! Please help!

Thank you!

I am the maid of honor for a wedding this coming weekend. I just finished writing my speech (about 1 minute in lenghth) and have begun practicing it. I am a very emotional person and I'm afraid I'm going to get choked up and not be able to finish giving my speech once I've started it. Any advice on how to prevent this from happening?

I chose a really classy dress for my bridesmaids and everyone loved it! However when my maid of honor went for a fitting, she was actually bumped up 6 sizes because the dress runs small... I have a bigger girl in my bridal party and i'm afraid she may not be able to get the dress. How should I deal with this?
Me being a bigger girl as well, understands how she may feel if the dress doesn't go to where she needs it to go. It only goes up to a certain size..

The lady at the bridal store said "we can determine that when we bring her in for measurements" I guess im just trying to keep it less 'painful' for her. as i know how the whole fitting thing goes as well...

Any ideas? Should I just change the dress or what should I do?

So my fiance and I are trying to plan our wedding around our trip to disney world next year and make the time frames work. Our plan is to go to disneyworld for a week with some family. Then find a private beach somewhere close and a planner in the area that will put together something for us and help with ALL the datails. After the wedding we are planning to go on a cruise from there. Does anyone know the name of a company or someone in Florida close to Disneyworld that would be able to put this together and give some prices? Has anyone else been through thisand maybe willing to give a few tips?

Should her man pay? my sister bought her and her spouse wedding rings at a pawn shop cause he did not have the money to get the new ones out of layaway. She eloped did not invite any family the family looked forward to a wedding she said they will have one next year. They didn't evren have a honeymoon. I was happy for herr getting married. But do you think she should have bought the rings with her own money? I looked at it like what if the ring was stolen and pawn and you are wearing a stolen ring? That just don't seem right. She's not speaking to me cause I mentioned it to her mom. She thinks I am not happy for her getting married. I hope she doesn't have to always pay for everything but marriage is based on for better for worse richer or poorer.
