In June my cousin got married. My sister and I were supposed to be bridesmaids, but 2 wks before the wedding my cousin and sister had a falling out. My aunt called me and said that they were kicking my sis out of the wedding and they wanted me to tell her and get the dress back. They said I could still be in, but they'd understand if I didn't. Well, for obvious reasons I didn't attend, but I am very upset and hurt by the whole situation. To this day the only communication has been an email to me saying they were sorry I was hurt in all this. No apology, no admitting of wrongdoing, and still neither my aunt or cousin has called my sister to make amends. I refuse to speak to them and it has torn the family apart. Help! Am I wrong to feel this way? I can't get over the fact that they excluded us from a major life event and don't seem to feel all that bad about it. How do I get over this, or should I even try?

I've had a hard time coping with the loss of my fiance some years ago...I think I am jealous or something, because every since then, i haven't been attending weddings. NOw a cousin of mine who is as close as a sister has invited me to her wedding. She tried to get me to be in the wedding, but i ignored her calls and avoided my family entirely...

Now I got this invite in the mail and she's calling because i didn't rsvp....

Please help me come up with a way to tell her that I don't wanna go that will not elicit a "why" or another request to go?

My mom asked me last week to change the date of my wedding by pushing it back one year, I got upset but said we would push in back about 8 months. She keeps making excuses for us not to get married (ie I set the date for march and she told me it is cold and tends to snow) so after speaking with her so got mad and is now not taking my calls or returning them times 3 days! She is making me upset, my wedding is around way by one year and its coming up in one year so its been a ongoing thing for two years, she told me if continue with this wedding date she wont be in my pictures, all i have been is depressed and crying about the whole thing. I want to continue with my date but I am upset that she may get mad and not attend. Its not that she don't like my fiance, my brother thinks she is upset because we live in a apartment and I am just starting back to school in January and she thinks i am going to get pregnant and not go back...I am beyond stressed anyone have any advice?

How long do the bride and groom have to send out thank you's? I attended a wedding over 2 months ago and gave a gift and haven't recieved a thank you. Is this weird?

I love my man with all of my heart. He's everything I ever dreamt of and more. We're getting married next July and planning our wedding day at home. We built a house together last year, and have been together for 4 years.
I know I am going to sound really superficial here, but I am still waiting on a proposal, and it's driving me insane. I really want that romantic moment, would love a ring.
I am not fussy or greedy. I dont care if it is not a diamond...I'd just love that heartfelt proposal and a pretty ring. I have talked to him about it and he says to be patient, relax and it will happen. I am not a patient person and he knows that....I just dont know what he is waiting for. I mean, the wedding celebrant is booked, catering taken care of...the wedding date is under 9 months away...I cant see any point in dragging it out any longer. He wont even go in jewellery shops, window shopping isnt even an option, because he gives them a wide berth. I dont understand what is going on.

So I'm getting married soon and all my decisions that are left are just the details part, like songs and such. So I'm wondering if any brides out there (past or present) or just anyone who’s been to a wedding that wants to help, can help me decide on some things:

1) I need help with picking a Bible verse out for the wedding. I'm looking for something different that hasn’t been read at every other wedding ever preformed like, “Love is patient, Love is kind”, you know the ones I’m talking about, they’ve been read in most all wedding and in most all movies.

2) I'm also thinking of maybe having someone read a poem, that’s if I don't pick two Bible verses. What are poems you think are wedding appropriate that are just really beautiful and are all about love and stuff? Something like, "I Carry Your Heart" by E.E. Cummings.

3) What songs would be good to be sung during the wedding ceremony, my sister and cousin are going to sing a duet and I want some good ideas for songs.

I am attending a wedding this evening and I have unfortunately come accross a financial hiccup. When I replied to the invite I was fully expecting to bring a gift of money to cover my plate and then some. Since then I have had some money problems. I did not want to cancel since it was too late plus I am sure that it would be rude to make them pay for the plates. I was wondering if I could send a card with a check to them in the next month or two? Thanks for the input!

I am trying to find places to honeymoon that are not going to cost a lot. Looking for something outside of the main US. Weddings and honeymoons are not about how much you spend its about being there with the one you love, so I don't want or expect a lot of money to be spent. We would like a place where the US dollar will go far.

This is a bit of a 'pickle' - But what would do [or have you done] if you and your fiancée wanted to get married, but money was an issue. What is the smartest decision to make? I don't want to go into debt to get married--putting stress on us and what is supposed to be our happiest times, but I don't know if putting things on credit cards, etc. is standard. We're saving but with just that it will take a lot longer than we want to wait. It's not going to be extravagant, or huge, but I do want it to be nice!

Another wedding gift question. I am appalled at how many happy couples do not send thank you notes for wedding gifts.
One bride in my husband's family told another relative that she was "too busy". Apparently her time is far more important than the time, money, and energy I expended to send her eight dinner plates of her everyday china.
I don't want to do anything to encourage this trend, which I think is selfish, greedy, slovenly, and inexcusable. But on the other hand, I would like to know if these people got their gifts. This is my idea. Some store which offers a gift registry should have the bride and groom fill in a short reason that they are choosing each gift, e.g., we love this contemporary silverware pattern. Then, when a gift-giver has had a gravy ladle from the registry sent to the couple, the store registry can send the gift-giver a note saying "the gravy ladle you chose from the registry was sent today. The couple told us that they love this contemporary pattern."

I am a woman who is invited, with my husband, to a lot of weddings for family, friends, neighbors, children of husband's old college roommates, etc.
I normally object to using wedding registries. I make an exception where the couple has registered for china or silverware (a register makes sense in that case), or is older and has almost everything they could want. I feel that the giver, not the recipient, chooses the gift.
I have been avidly reading on Yahoo Answers the opinions of brides and grooms, most of whom seem to very much feel entitled to choose all of their own wedding gifts.
One wedding registry answer advised other brides and grooms to choose very luxurious and expensive items for their registries on the theory that young couples cannot afford things like very expensive towels. My question is, most of these couples seem to be having "fairy tale" (read very expensive) weddings. Wouldn't it make sense to have a less expensive wedding and save some money for towels?

Sorry - I haven't been to a wedding in a long time, and am unsure of how much is appropriate for a cash weddign gift. This is for my niece. I would say we are fairly close with her and her husband to be.

If it has any bearing, there are 5 of us attending the wedding (my wife, myself, and three kids age 8 - 10). Don't not if it matters, but we are in the North East U.S.

Any thoughts?

My fiancee and I have finally come to a equal number of people on both of our sides for bridesmaids and groomsmen. I just found out threw my fiancee that one of his friends does not like me but she is a bridesmaid. She didn't like that in the beginning of our relationship 2-3 yrs ago we had problems(arguing, breaking up) that are now wayyy resolved.

Would you have or keep someone in your wedding that does not even like you?

I told my fiancee I was taking her out and that was final, this is not just our wedding but it is MY wedding too.

My fiance and I have both been married before, but his first wedding was a small Justice of the Peace wedding. He wants this one to be done right. (I would actually prefer smaller, but I compromised on this). We both already have children, I am finally puruing my dream of going to college, so money is tight. We mostly have the wedding planned, and due to wonderful friends and family, are able to have a very nice wedding for a budget that is manageable. The only question I have is, is it ok to use diposable plates and silverware, should I wrap the silverware in the napkins, or with a ribbon, or just leave them for the guests to grab individually, and what plate should I get, paper (real good, thick paper) or plastic?

My date is the brother to the groom, and while he is not in the wedding he is wearing a black tux.

I cant remember but isn't it an old tradition rule there are 3 colors a women never wears to a wedding :
White - it's the brides color
Black - is worn at funerals
Red - is unholy sign of promiscuity

I'm going dress shopping as the wedding is in 2 weeks and I want to look fabulous, just not while sending an inappropriate message!

Thank You in advance for all your help!

So I met this guy who was from Colorado,we got enaged,then he moved to NJ from Colorado to be with me.We had the whole wedding planned,everything booked,the whole deal.Then he tells me that he is having thoughts of not wanting to live in Jersey anymore.I have a son from a previous marriage so he already knew that there really wasnt anyway that I could move out of state.So he decides to take a couple of days to think about everything,and then he would let me know if he is going to stay or not.He left me hanging on by a string wondering if he was going to stay or not,then finally tells me that he is going to stay.Tells me that he sent out the wedding invitaions and all.Then a few days later he says he is at work,come to find out he was packing all his stuff and driving back to Colorado.I found out that he applied for a job out there while he was here and I had no idea that we was even thinking of leaving at that time.Then he begged for me back after he left!! Am I wrong for saying NO!?
