Weddings - December 2007

My dad bought this gorgeous ring back in the early 80s from a friend of his for about $800. I've always loved the ring, so my dad has saved it and also considers it an investment of his. It's 1.04 carats, platinum, and apparently one of the best qualities available. It was appraised at ~$8500 (not with the diamond wedding band). My boyfriend recently proposed to me with it and apparently proposition my dad for it. My dad sold it (both rings) to him for $5000, but told him all that money would go right back into our wedding since they don't have a lot to help me out with. It's a little steep, but I understand my dad's point of wanting my fiance to be proud, as well. Since then, my fiance's father has flipped out and accused my dad of being very wrong by selling it and told my fiance my family isn't normal. He thinks my dad should have given it to us, regardless that it's going into the wedding. Now I don't even want the ring. I guess what I want to know is -- was my dad wrong?

It is sad how our society had gone all the way down to defiling ourselves before marriage. The reason a woman wears white for a wedding is because it shows she is a virgin. How can that be true when many couples have already had sex before marriage?
Are you abstaining?

I don't have a lot of friends, and my fiance and I are planning our wedding, but we came to a brick in the road, and was wondering how to get around it. I want to have bridemaids at our wedding, but I don't have a lot of close enough friends to make the maids of honor or bridesmaids. So, I was wondering what do I do? Is there a way to work around the bridesmaid thing? But, then again, I want bridesmaids....help me!!

I want to get engaged to my boyfriend of 2 1/2 years but I don't want to actually get married for another couple years (if i get married my financial aid for college gets cut in half). My boyfriend seems to think there is something wrong with a long engagement, is there? Doesn't engagement just mean you plan to get married eventually?

for some reason i want the song for the first dance in my wedding to be I Thought We Had by The Family Stand. the song is really good but its about breaking up, and there's absolutely nothing positive with a slight hope of a better future between the couple in it. in fact it pretty much confirms that theyre ending the relationship for good. still id really really want it to be the song at my wedding. odd?

btw, im not planning on getting married any time soon.plus i cant see myself married to anyone i personally know right now.
this is just something that comes up to my mind whenever i listen to it.

I am not a christian- I was brought up one but wouldnt be hypocritical enough to call myself one now. I have had a wonderful girlfriend for 5 and a half years now, and we are amazing together. Is it right to get married? Marriage really, although people take it for granted, is a declaration before 'god'. But I think that also it is a good foundation for a relationship, which to me is maby more important than worrying about being a hypocrit and getting married for the wrong reasons. I know a lot of people will say if my relationship is as good as I say, then I dnt need marriage to back it up, or make it mean anything. But I like the idea of it, y'know, having a wife, being a husband. I think marriage to me is about officialising something that you want forever. Not to mention my gf, who has never been a christian is adiment that i propose! So am I wrong? Or is marriage simply the right step for a beautiful relationship? What do you think? Opinions not orders please... :o)

I'm moving in with my fiancé and I want to be that perfect girl. You know the girl that every guy wishes his girlfriend/fiancé/wife would be. I already love football and every other sport for that fact, I let him go out whenever he wants with the guys no questions asked, I don’t ever call to just "see what he is doing" you know the suspicious call.... our love life is good. I try to always look good for him. Is there something I’m missing? And what would your perfect girl be?

So, I want a fall wedding with a vintage, shabby chic, southern flair. I live in Southern California and while we do have the best weather on earth I don't know how to achieve this type of wedding here. I am all for a destination wedding as I have family all over the US. In my mind I visualize a large plantation home on a lot of property...very private and beautiful. Any ideas????

If you can afford a diamond and like them, why is considered vain to want one. Why is it bad to say, you would not settle for anything less?

I often see questions on here debating diamond vs CZ. If someone says, " I only want the real thing" They get a thumbs down.

Why? To me, if you are getting married for the right reason and can afford a diamond, then what's making you vain?

Does anyone thing asking for a diamond isn't so bad or vain?

In November I went through a wedding ceremony in Slovakia. It was not registered with the authorities here but I got married in the Korean church. I've sought advice from numerous officials in registry offices in the UK to determine whether or not this was legal (I'm British and my husband is Korean). 50 say yes 50% say no. One registry office official said that only a judge could say for sure, but having looked at my certificates which were signed by two witnesses, she thought they appeared valid. She said we could also go through another ceremony in the UK, but that would definitely invalidate the first one. Have you been in a similar situation. If so what did you do? At the moment I'm confused and I want my wedding to be legal. I spent several months before the service trying to get advice but literally noone so far has been able to clarify for sure whether this is legal.

My fiance came to Japan to propose to me. He was so angry when I asked to wait till I really think about it, he thought that was the end. I had accepted it after that.
But after 4 months, I start to think again, maybe having cold feet, because I will be moving to different country, loosing jobs, not going to speak my language, and finance reasons. I've shared my worries with him, and he was always so upset, and asked me to give him answers in a week...I got really scared. I felt he couldn't think in my position at all. I needed to know that he would still love me with true love, and would wait for me until I could really be sure that I want to be with him.
Last week I flew to Paris for 4 days just to talk with him. I had a great time, but he said now or never. I told him again, that I would need time. He said "I've fought with you too much, this is over."
I don't want to loose him, and I've told him that I would move in April...or should I just leave him? I still love him to bits.

9 more sleeps till I get married.

The nerves have finally set in. I am a wreck. I walk around pacing half the night. I worry that something will go wrong, that I will trip over, my dress will break, you name it - It is running threw my head.
I love my man so much, but it is really scary yet exciting. We have been together for 7 wonderful years, lived together for 5. So it isn't going to make any difference in my life.
Can you help settle my nerves???
Thanks in advance



PS- I should point out I can't take Sleeping Tablets, as I am 18 weeks pregnant, with our new addition. We already have 2yo twin boys

What I mean is, when you want to build a family, would you make it with your special boy/girlfriend, or you`ll find another boy/girl when you want to get married?

My dream wedding is a small, church wedding with close friends and families. It would probably be in April haven't decided. Anyways the colors are red and black, the maid of honor's dresses red with black trimming, the guys black tux with red vest/tie, and I'll have on white. For decorations I would like red rose petals and candles lit with dim lighting. I want the wedding to be around 8 or 9:00 when it's just about to get dark.
Then after the wedding we will have the reception which will be about 11:00 so whoever doesn't party that late don't come. At 12:00 while the party continues thebride and groom leaves for the honeymoon. Anyways that just me dream wedding b/c I'm a very romantic person. Any ideas please feel free.

Have you known someone that got married, just because they were tired of being alone? I have a friend who is getting married tonight and they are getting married just because he said is tired of being alone. He has had lots of girlfriends and he is a great looking guy. I am not going to the wedding because I live to far away. I don't think that I would go anyway and support him in this. Why do people get married for that reason? Shouldn't you love someone and know that you are supposed to be with this person before you marry them?
My friend is only 23.
