Weddings - December 2007

I have a friend who wants to serve cupcakes at her wedding. But I think layered cake would be better.

My fiance' and I got engaged two months ago, and we've been together nearly two years. His older brother and girlfriend of five months got engaged a couple weeks ago because she had it in her head she had to be married before a certain age. She insists on having her wedding next fall, knowing that ours is the following fall. The main issue is that they announced their engagement in church before us. My fiance and I haven't been able to attend together for a few weeks due to our manager putting him on schedule temp during church time. Now people from chruch have heard we're engaged, and they congratulate us, but say something along the lines, "Oh, you're engaged too?" as if we're trailing after his brother and fiancee'. It bothers me that they announced before us when we've been engaged nearly two months before them. I'm happy for them, but a little miffed. Am I wrong? And how would you handle this situation?

My fiancee wants to tell his parents on christmas that we're engaged. We've been together for 10 months now. A few years ago we dated for about 7 months. We plan on getting married Dec 05, 2008. We're both 23 and we're moving in together. His parents love me. My question is what is a good way to tell his parents that we're getting married? Should we make a "marriage" paper and wrap it up as a gift? Should we just come out and tell them? Should we make an engagement cake and take it to their house? How did you tell your future in~laws that you were engaged? I want them to know cuz their oldest son told them after he got married.

Here are princesses who wait 2 years to be married because they want personalized German chocolate favors and the Archbishop of Canterbury to officiate.
Here are creatures who ask me to bring a dish to their holiday party because they can't afford to buy cheese and they don't want people in their apt if the food isn't fancy.
Is anyone embarassed to spend 2 years requiring your friends to bring their own food so that you can watch a bunch of strangers eat lobster?

My company Christmas party is scheduled for one night.

Turn's out that my fiance's work is throwing me a surprise bridal shower that same night.

Since it is a surprise, I am not supposed to know. The shower is at 7pm and the Christmas party is at 8pm.

I am technically the guest of honor at the shower, so I don't know if I can bow out of the bridal shower "early" and say "Sorry, got another party to attend"...so do I just tell my work sorry?

Please note, that the general consensus at the office is "If you don't attend the holiday party it is career suicide."

DRAMA!

Fiance' has asked his work to push the date but they already have caterer confirmed.

PS - I dated his friend simultaneously, but he is not (now) in the wedding party, but invited.

PPS - I've never had a problem with this because it is mutual that we dated each other's friends - but with the wedding it is odd and I feel sick about it.

PPPS - I desperately want her to be there and prep me for the big day. Is it a slap in the face to ask her to be my personal attendant but not have her in the dress and standing up for me?

A friend sent out wedding invites a couple months ago...well most of her guests declined the invite. She is getting married at the end of December in Michigan. Most of her invites were to people living in Texas, New Mexico & Arizona...so they'd have to travel quite a distance not to mention what the road conditions could be like up North. Well she's has been calling and asking "are you sure you can't come" I've told her nicely several times I just can't afford it this time of year, plus I cannot take additional time off from work...since we recieve a week off for Christmas paid...(Dec 21-27, & if you don't work the week after you loose your holiday pay. I can't afford that) Plus I told her that the weather is already pretty yucky up there...what if I get caught in a blizard. If it were closer or at any other time of the year I'd be happy to go. She's been calling lots of us...how do I tell her nicely without hurting her feelings?

I asked someone who I considered to be a friend to be my maid of honor at my wedding and of course, she agreed, but whenever I try to be her friend or hang out with her, she finds some way to get out of it. She seems to call her other friends all the time and always hangs out with them. She never calls me unless her boyfriend is asking a favor from my fiancee. I finally stopped answering her calls because she never called just to say hello. I found out a lot about her and how dishonest she can be. I no longer trust her enough to keep her as my maid of honor. How do I tell her nicely without hurting her feelings? Is that even possible?

Okay, so a friend of mine got married last weekend. I was not able to attend because I was in the hospital having my baby. I didn't RSVP that I would attend, but rather declined because it was so close to my due date. Well my mother & sister who were also invited only attended the wedding & not reception. (They came to the hospital to be with me because my husband is out of town & could not come in for our childs birth). Rachel got back from her honeymoon yesterday, so this morning I called to ask about there trip & she said she doesn't feel like talking to me & hung up. Well I was at the store later & the cashier tells me..."I heard some people didn't attend Rachels wedding cuz you were having your baby" Why is what anyone else did my fault. AT LEAST I WASN'T THERE, to go into labor during her wedding. I have her wedding gift but I don't think that I even want to send it to her now. She hasn't even acknowledged that I now have a child either. Urgh...I'm so frustrated. I

it is a month before our wedding, and we have thought of a few more people we would like to invite. they are more distant..i.e. good friend's sister and her family, my sister's boyfriend's family, a long lost college friend that recently rekindled...

is there a proper or nice way to invite these people without making them feel like B-list-ers?

My fiance and I are going to a place where we want to have our wedding tomorrow afternoon to meet with the lady in charge. It's a restaurant that has a terrace with a great view. The lady said it should only take about 15 minutes for the meeting, but that seems fast to me - don't you normally want to look at the prospective contract, talk about what is/isn't allowed (for decorations, times, etc.)? Or do you normally go back and do that when you actually plan on signing the contract? They have a few dates available next May and June, so I'm sure we'll end up having our wedding there (not worried about getting a date).

Anyway, I guess what I'm wondering is what I should ask the lady when we're there tomorrow, and what I should look for about which room we decide to have the reception in (there are 2 options) (for example, I've heard I should look at the restroom situation - what else?).

Here's a link to their wedding info:

This may sound strange. I'm not having the wedding video taped b/c of budget issues. But I want to know, since you actually didn't see the whole cermoney because you were the last to walk in. Do you feel like you missed out on your cermony.

One of my best friends just got engaged and I was excited at first but kind of hurt that I wasnt asked to be a bridesmaid but I brushed it off because it was her decision.
Since she doesnt have it in her budget to actually hire a planner, shes assumed that Im going to take the role of planning her entire wedding! (I work as an event and party planner)
If we werent as close I wouldnt mind, but Im going as a guest and since shes one of my best friends and I want to be able to actually enjoy the wedding, not be running around like I would have to as her wedding planner, worrying about the pattern on the forks matching the pattern on the knives and that the lighting and sound will be working at the reception. I would miss everything since Id be so busy.

I told her Id be a 'consultant' of sorts, but that I didnt want to take on the job of planning and executing the entire thing that day, and now shes mad that I wouldnt want to help make her day "perfect"

Any advice??

My fiance and I are starting to register for our wedding. We already live on our own and have many of the things a couple would normally put on their registry.

Does anybody know of any good websites that give suggestions of what to put/not put on a registry? We don't want to put anything tacky on there (like dvds or stuff like that) but we want to give our guests *something* to choose from.

They are wonderful kids, but everytime I talk about them to my family i always see raised eyebrows. I know that they dont approve. Is there something wrong with marrying a woman with 3 kids, should I be ashamed that i would even consider it?

We are going to get married at a botanical garden, in their "Japanese Garden." We only want a casual dinner reception at a restaurant afterwards...

Is it too cheesy if we have the reception at a Japanese restaurant and carry on the theme from the wedding site?
