My fiance lives in South Carolina. I've traveled my whole life and have only ever lived in one place a maximum of 2 1/2 years. Needless to say, my friends are all scattered pretty severely. The majority of my family is in Minnesota. With the majority of my relatives on fixed incomes, I know they'll need quite a bit of advance notice to save money to make the trip. We aren't getting married until November. Would it be okay to order all of the invitations now and only send the ones to my family and friends who are far away (I have quite a few friends in California) who would need the advance notice? Then I could send out the rest when we're about 4-5 months out.

It's important to me that my family actually gets to attend the wedding, and I'm sure lots of advance notice is the only way to get them there. Would it seem rude to the people who didn't get an invitation right away if they found out somehow?

My fiance and I want to make our thank you cards now (wedding is in February) so that we will have them ready to send out and don't forget about them. Is their any specific wording we should use that would make us have to wait until after the wedding to make them, or could we just state something like "thank you for sharing this day with us." ?

We've discussed the wedding several times but now, the tricky question has arised. I am from Detroit and he is From Maryland, however both of us live in the Massachusetts area. My family lives further away from Massachusetts than his family. He only has a few family members to invite, whereas I have many family members and friends to invite and most of them are closer to Michigan. Where should the wedding be that would be fair for the both of us? We are discussing between Boston and Detroit. If the wedding is in Boston, his family can do a one day trip, rent 1 car and leave the same day to head home, whereas if my family had to come to Boston, they would have to stay at least one night, book at least 12-15 hotel rooms, and rent a charter bus. I want to be fair. Any suggestions, comments?

I have a friend whom I have communicated with since middle school and we get together a few times during the year. A few years ago she was getting married and asked me to be in her wedding. The wedding never took place though. Now I am getting married and do not want to ask her to be a bridesmaid, but I know she assumes she is going to be one. I want her to be part of the wedding but I think asking her to do something else will only be an insult. My fiance and I have dated five years and he barely knows her and I don't feel like the friendship is much more than very casual. Any help at all is welcomed.

I am engaged to a great guy, and I can't wait to marry him. However, planning a wedding has turned into a contest in how many people I can offend. I just want to get married... is there a way to do that beautifully without the need for others to be offended by things that are/not being done?

I grew up in a Christian & Hindu household. I learned about both religions growing up. I took religion classes in college, to learn about different faiths.

Fast forward to today, I am in a loving relationship with a Muslim man, we're both in our mid 20's, and we're considering marriage one day.

I would never ask him to convert, in order to marry me. But...I have a feeling its just assumed that I would become a muslim in order to marry him, to make his mom happy. I dont think she would let us get married if I wasnt muslim to be honest.

I love him, and this whole religion thing is really throwing me for a loop!

Do I have to convert? I've been doing some research and it says that I dont have to convert, because muslim men can marry christians or jews, just not other religions.

So my research says one thing, and his mom says another. What do I do...

I have been going out with my girlfriend since the 7th grade, and we are both 23 years old now (we were 12-13 when we in the 7th grade) so we have been dating for 10 years.

I asked her out on January 6th (I passed her a note, asking her out, and she said yes. And I still have the note)

So my question is, would it be weird to ask her to marry me on January 6th? Or would it be sweet?

P.S. I have the note because I put it in a shoebox under my bed, and I found it when I was packing for college. So it's not like I framed it on my wall.

My fiance is sort of religious (Lutheran) and I am really a Wiccan, but I tell him that I am an Athiest.

And I was wondering what sort of wedding we should have, like how can we combine it considering that I don't have the same beliefs as him...actually, he doesn't know my true beliefs.

Do you think that he would be suprised if I told him that I was Wiccan?

And how can we combine our religious beliefs into our wedding?

Is it traditional to give your new husband/wife a gift? If so, is it given before or after the ceremony?

What is a typical gift for a groom? Also, how much is spent on average?

I don't want an actual ceremony, and my fiance' is cool with that. But my mom really really wants me to have it. She is so proud of this moment, and wants to help every step of the way, which is understandable. But I don't see myself having a ceremony. I understand it could be something small, but I also can't see myself doing that. My fiance doesn't care one way or the other. But even if I did have one, our family stays so far apart, and I hate to make other people go out of their way. I have friends here in Ga, his family is in SC, and mine are in NC. Also we have trouble keeping up with his (my fiance) mom, and I know for a fact he would want her to be a part of it.
I am also trying to put myself in my mom's position to see how I would feel if it were my child.

Boyfriend and I were discussing the upcoming wedding of a mutual friend. (I'm going to be one of her bridesmaids). I was telling him how wedding clothes run smaller then regular clothes (ie: friend wears about a size four in regular clothes, but almost a size eight in wedding dress).

He asked what size I wear in regular clothes (size 14) but I wouldn't tell him.

So he goes, "That's okay baby, just subtract about four sizes from it and plan on getting your wedding dress in that size".

I felt insulted and said, "Why don't YOU plan on gaining four suit sizes for your tuxedo" and he told me, "We both know my body is more than adequate and its' going to just get better over time. Stop trying to make me feel inadequate".

I 'm not sure whose fault was this but here let me explain real quick: My Boyfriend and I live together for 6 mos. now. In October his sister stayed with us. We talked about it and agreed that he is gonna shoulder the 'extra' expenses when she comes in.And now he's telling me that I am nagging him about not being able to save for our wedding and he is telling me that Im treating him like trash. I dont even talk about being fair in the share(bills and rent and food). Sometimes I shoulder everyhting w/out asking for anything in return. i just think i didnt have to spend for his sister bec. we are not married yet and she's 27, too old for to help her out. i mean...she can't even find a decent job...so now he's threathening me that i'm gonna spend Christmas alone coz they'll be out of the house. He said we should only be together after the wedding but i dont wanna marry him no more.prob is we have invited people to come to our wedding...HELP.

Should I remain upset at his family? We performed a "Civil Wedding" that took only 3 hrs. His parents arrived half hr late! His cousins arrive 10 min. after the event was over, they did NOT introduce themselfs and still had the audacity to eat! We had no $$ to hire a photagrapher so we just used our digital cameras, all the photos were ruined because his nephews head pooped out in every shot not to mention he wanted the balloon decorations in which a lady handed to him so he wont cry....the stupid balloon came out in the background. None of his family brought us wedding gifts either! Which I thought was a bit rude since we had fed them $25 plates........I am upset at
their lack of manners..........what do I do??? - a sad bride -

I bought a wedding invite kit to make them myself- so I have the mailing envelope, the invite, the rsvp, and the smaller envelope for the rsvp. What are we talking about when we say inner envelope? And when people talk about this- they are telling someone how to address the "inner" envelope. I am only putting the recipient's name (myself) on the rsvp envelope for them to mail back. Does that seem right? It didn't seem as if I'd have to put their return address on that envelope.....?
