Weddings - November 2007

As her older sister, I am pissed. She is going to have her dorm roomate and friends of college in it instead. I am so embarrassed, I don't even want to show up. She wants my kids to be the flower girl and ring bearer. I feel like everyone will be looking at me funny as to why I am not in the wedding. I don't want to go and I don't want my kids involved. Am I right to feel this way?

Before anyone yells at me, I am a bride to be planning a wedding, so I'm aware of the difficult tasks that need to be done. But from my observations and experience, many people are rather selfish with an occassion that is supposed to be special and remembered by others as a beautiful event.

I understand that's it's our day and blah blah, but why would you really want to be remembered in a negative way? Such as with the people who ban children (their own relatives) or cameras (their guests have to buy the pictures then). I think it's really sad that sometimes, brides and grooms forget that their guests take time out of their busy schedules, pay money to travel to their wedding because they really want to be there, and then think they can get away with selfish behavior. Sad.

Weddings should be an event where you're remembered as "wow my cousin's wedding was so pretty, etc" not "I would have gone to her wedding, but she doesn't allow kids and I couldn't leave them with a babysitter."

I'm absolutely putting out the money for a photographer for my wedding. But I'm wondering if I really need to have a video.
I could buy a camcorder and ask a trustworthy relative to film the pertinent stuff (ceremony, first dance, cake cutting). What are your thoughts?

Do couples say both of those lines in their wedding vows, or do they pick one? What is the difference?

each that say "just married" on their website that average $2.50 each ($60 for 24). but really didn't want to spend that much on candy when we are doing three donations (which is really the favor) & our centerpieces are bud vases that will be the "take away" item. Each person will get a program that states the donations which have affected our families (Diabetes, Epilepsy & mental illness) & every couple will get a vase with probably 3 roses. So when you factor in another $2.50 per person it adds up. I thought about doing one candy bag per couple. but not sure how that would be. I planned to buy the just married kisses & scatter them on the table so that way I could control the amount per person (maybe plan for 4 each) but someone on another question said they didn't like how that looked, like it was messy and unclassy. So I do not want that. So I was wondering, what if I were to buy Russell Stover or Whitman samplers that cost less than $1.50 and wrap them. Godiva is too expensive

I contacted the event coordinator for the park & told her we wanted about 10ppl there. It would only take about 10 -15 mins because its a VERY small civil ceremony. She said they couldn't reserve any areas because it's a public park.
I figure I will just get our 10 guest to meet up @ another location, drive to the park, stand in the area we like, say our vows, kiss, then leave to have dinner @ a resturant).
If someone sees us and wants to "report" us, we will probably already be gone by the time the authorities show up to tell us to leave because we'll only be there for 15mins. I know this is stretching it and sounds like I should just find another location . But we REALLY LOVE this park, we go there all the time and see bridal and quinceañera photos being shot there every weekend.
So, can I still do it anyway, even if there is not "reserved space" for it? Will and Justice of the Peace/Ordained Minister even come stand out in a park for a 10-15 minute ceremony?

Hi Everyone

I have a very eclectic taste in music, I was just wondering what sort of wedding music would be suitable,

I am getting wed next year and I have already advised the DJ of the sort of music I want played, everything from Jay -Z to Alice in Chains!

I am just wondering if the guests would be happy, I know we should be doing it for us, but my fiance and I are the hosts!

My fiance has also told me that he wants classical and the famous Nessun Dorma played as well.

What sort of music would you like played at a wedding reception?

How did you do it?

that I kicked out of my wedding and dropped from hers.

OK- within 6 months of getting engaged- she eloped and then is having a REDO- in another 6 months... bigger and better.
We are now about 1 month from the wedding- shower is planned Dec 16. I am not invited- I know all this stuff from a mutal friend. Wedding is Jan 19th and she has to have everything done Jan 5th for the place. Invites are NOT out or even done and she is 6 grand short of paying the cater. Her bridesmaids are getting annoyed because they feel she get her showers and the wedding won't happen after they bought all the dresses and the shoes.

My question is- What is wrong with people? I thought it was just this ex-friend (we stop being friends after I REFUSED to be in her second wedding) but I have heard from other people- that they knew a bride or went through the same situation as a bridesmaid!! Do you know anyone like this??
What's with the Redos? And spending way over your head?

for 31 years a bad thing. Whenever I come on here, and people ask what age to get married, I always say I married the week after I turned 19. My marriage has lasted, and overall has been pretty terrific. Almost everytime I get thumbs down on my answer.
I always thought being married this long (and happily) was a good thing
Am I missing something here?

Any suggestions or things I should look for? I was thinking I need her for 8 hrs-- from 2pm-10pm...Whatcha think? Their will be two photographers (I'm paying their dinner too--do I tip?:) for 8 hrs and a tremedous package--plus I get to keep all my photo's on a cd afterwards too--it's $1200.00. Is that pretty good?

I have read so many stories on these boards of women (Bridezillas) wanting this and that, and making all these unreasonable demands..NONE of my son's will marry over-bearing bossy women like that....

A wedding lasts 15 minutes....WHY does it have to be so fricking PERFECT? Get ready for a real let down, LIFE is anything but perfect....

I am getting married in oct. on a friday. We are making a guest list to send save the date cards so they can ask off work if need be. My fiance's mom is so negative about it. She says "such and such wont show, this person has to work, etc." My mom is paying a lot of money for our ceremony site and I want the place as full as possible. It only holds 100 so we need 50 from each side. My family could fill the place but I wanted to keep it as even as possible! She acts like no one will show up to my big day! She thinks money is an issue for us and it is not! she doesnt want to invite people because we are paying $20 a person at the reception, which is fine for us! I need her help making sure that everyone is properly included but I just cant please her. Im including her in all of the wedding plans and she is very helpful and excited except when it comes to the guest list. She alsi says "well, this is a day for you and your mom!" which isnt true! I want her to be a part of it just as much!

Long story, bear with me. My grandma gave me her rings. I tried to tell my soon to be finance i wanted to use them when we became engaged, but he thought i didnt want him to spent a lot of money and that i really wanted new rings. I should have firm about it, but i let it go. Well, i thought i had a second chance when he asked me to go shopping with rings with him so he knew what i liked/disliked. but we never went, and before i knew it he had brand new rings and proposed. Well obviously im a pushover and never say "no", so i decided to keep them. I didnt want to hurt his feelings or his credit. But then we went to get them sized at the store, when we got them back they had *burned* some of the diamonds black and didnt even bother to clean it! Not only that but i swear the rings still were way too big, they felt the exact same size as before! When i promptly told them this they blew me off completly. Now i dont think he can return them, what should i do? I feel so bad :(

Hello, I am engaged. She is very shy. Whenever I am around her, particularly when I touch her hand or say "I love you", i feel aroused. I feel guilty about this, cause, I really Love her from the bottom of my heart. But, I am not sure why I feel like this, when I am alone with her. Is this WRONG? Is my LOVE not correct? Also, how would she feel that time, same like me? I am confused. I have only Pure LOVE for her. But, why I cant stop this when i am with her?
