Weddings - November 2007

i am getting married in july 2008 and i have a small problem. We are inviting approx 30 people (close family and friends only), the ceremony is going to last only 30 mins, and we are having a dinner, toasts/speeches, cake cutting and dessert reception only. NO DANCING! We have the area for both the ceremony and reception from 4:30pm to 8:30pm. Do you think that the reception is going to be too short? What other things can i do to lengthen the time? Thank you.

I was recently engaged and want to know where to announce this. I know that traditionally couples post their engagement in the newspaper ($50). However, I am wondering if there are other locations that I should also use, maybe online?

My fiance and I are not getting married until July 2009. We made the mistake of choosing our wedding party way to far in advance. Since we asked them, we have broken off friendships with all three of the groomsmen and then we made amends with them all. But even though we are all friends again, we are still unsure about whether to have them in the wedding party or not. Furthermore, my Maid of Honor is getting married this summer. When I asked her to be my MOH, she replied with, "Yeah, if you will be mine!" That was before they had set a date. Now that their wedding planning has gone into action, she officially asked me to be a bridesmaid. What's more, her maid of honor is my fiance's ex-girlfriend - and my ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend (small world). My ex is a groomsman in her wedding too. My fiance and I would rather not be around either of our exes, and my fiance is not even in the wedding party. I am very hurt by my friend's choice of her wedding party. How should I deal with this?

My fiance' and I have been having some disagreements on where to have our wedding. He wants to have an outside wedding and I want it in a church. I don't want an outside wedding because our wedding is in the middle of summer and because I promised my dad that I would get married in a church. What can we do to agree on something that we both like?

My family just doesn't seem to know how to control their kids. The last two weddings I've been to, the kids were out of control and the parents just let them do what they want. In the middle of the bridal dances, the kids were running all over the floor. How do I tell parents to "control their kids or they will be asked to leave" without offending them. I wanted to include that in the invitation but that's improper etiquette. Any ideas?

My fiance and I are getting married in June 2008, we are both quite young and what with having to pay for the wedding and buy a house and all those things we dont have a lot of money. But we want to go somewhere nice - somewhere tropical but reasonably priced. Does anybody have any ideas? We would love somewhere like fiji or cook isalnds in one of those overwater bungalows but just dont have the cash. Any suggestions, past experiences or links to good resorts or specials would be much appriciated.
Oh and please dont suggest we wait a year or so, i think it loses the charm of being a honeymoon then...

My husband to be's family is devoutly catholic, my fiance doesnt practice and i am protestant baptist, so we are going to the justice of the peace and just planning a reception afterwards, that also is a big issue with my fiances grandmother, who by the way is wealthy but not offering any wedding cost help which is fine but in my book means then she has no input! so how would one go about not hurting his families feelings about the issue?

What should I do?

We're getting married in 76 days, and she's asked me where we're going for our honeymoon. I havn't told her, and although she has some ideas, she hasn't pushed wanting to know. (I'm not too sure if she's even heard of the resort we're going to... I didn't till I drove past it one day).

So I'm wondering, what is the tradition or convention when it comes to honeymooning? Who knows, or how importent is it for everyone involved to know well in advance?

Also, I have no reason to keep this from her, other than for the surprise factor.

Thanks.

I need to find a limo service that is reasonable and good service for my wedding. I need two cars in the morning to pick the bride up and groom almost at the same time in the morning then do not need them until reception is over as ceremony and reception is at the same location to just drop us off to final destination. All prices I have been given are close to 1,000.00 does anyone know of any sites or places I can call or look up on-line.

MOH , has been giving troubles ever since she was asked to be a MOH ... she has a bit of a jelouse streak ....always a bridesmaid never a bride thing....so much so that other people see it and make comments. she has said such things to me as .don't order that food i don't like it, or your cake is OK , Oh you should pay for open bar ( when I explained the cost she said " well i guess i wont be drinking" when i showed her the flowers she would carry wich is a ball of roses she took the and told she was going to carry them down the asial like a bride. and gave me and example. then took it by the strap it hangs from and swung it around her head .. she told me I stole her flowers for the wedding she doesn't even have a boyfriend

with that being said I have been patient not said a word
Now she is pregnate with a random guy ( one night stand) she will now be 6.5 mth preggy by the time my wedding happens the bridesmaid dresses are strapless chiffon and short. believe it or not

Hi, so my parents were initially the ones going to pay for our wedding, so I was going to have the wording for the invite be something like this:
Mr and Mrs. _____ _______
request the honour of your presence at the marriage of their daughter
_________ __________
to
_________ __________
Son of Mr and Mrs _________ ________

But now, his parents have decided to chip in the wedding also, not a lot, not even half, but like 1/4th the price. So do I still word it that way or would i have to put now that both parents are inviting? I feel like if I dont put his parents name, it will seem like they didnt pay a thing, but I also dont want it to seem like our parents are both inviting and splitting the cost!

I have been engaged since Jan 1 , 07 but we keep flip flopping on a date. I am still in college and he is in the real world but we live together. We somehow cant come up with a suitable date. We can't agree on who pays for what either as I am a broke college student and he is working full time.

My bf just proposed last Wed.! I'm so excited!

Problem:
-I would love to get married next spring - always wanted a spring wedding, plus then we can buy a house together (no, we won't live together before we're married)
-He doesn't care when we get married
-His sis is already engaged and getting married next August -she doesn't mind us getting married before her
-My bf's mom told me we can't get married before my bf's sis because "she can't deal with the stress of two weddings so close together" (her first words when we told her we're engaged). She won't be paying for our wedding - she told my bf she won't be giving us money (she's spending 10s of 1000s of dollars on my bf's sister's)

My bf and I decided we aren't going to let her influence our decision, but he thinks it might be easier on his other relatives if we waited until after his sis' wedding, since it's a destination wedding and they will all have to pay for travel, etc. How did you decide on your date? Advice?

I live in L.A., and will be getting married on January 19, 2008.

The church I want doesn't have the popular "3 p.m." time slot open. It's either 1:00 p.m. or 5:00 p.m. Personally I think 1:00 might be a little early--and have too much of a time gap for those waiting to attend the reception. But 5:00 is a bit dark....with no time for pictures and stuff, because we would be rushing off to the reception.

Keep in mind we have a lot of elderly and out of towners attending. If you were one of them, which would you prefer, 1:00 p.m. or 5:00 p.m.?

We have been ring shopping and she looks at advertisements and she consistantly points out ones that are $1500-2500. She has even made comments like it wouldn't bother her one bit if I bought it at a pawn shop! What should I do?
