Weddings - December 2007

I just got engaged on Christmas. The people that I babysit for are cousins to my fiance. Well, when his cousin heard that I was planning on having my wedding in July, she told me that she nor her husband could take off work and watch the kids for the week I would go on my honeymoon. She told me I needed to be more considerate and plan for a different time. So, we moved the wedding to June 7th. Which is the best time with my side of the family and his immediate family, my cake decorator, my dress maker, and all the other people involved. I told her tonight and she told me she won't be there because her and her mom and a sister take off on their vacation. They plan it for this time every year. She told me that they could not be there and I should plan for a different time, because they want to be there and have been in the family longer than me. Should I keep my date or she being unreasonable? The ones going on vacation are only cousins and an aunt.

I'm getting married in june and i was talking to my cousin and she said she probaly wont be able to make it because theres a 10 day fair going on and she already has the ticket. I believe the day we are getting married on, a sunday, is 6 days into the fair.
I just said "oh" to her (talking on IM) and then she shortly logged off.
basicly with her past I just think she's jealous but I'm worried that shes just being selfish on this.
Do I have a right to be upset that she would pick going to a fair, that happens every year, then come to my wedding?
They do live out of state and its a 4 hour drive, so really she could just come up for the day.
Do I have the right to say anything such as: "Well thats a bit hurtful that you would pick a fair over my wedding."?? Or what can I say?
Thinking about this makes it seem immature, which I'm 24 and she's 31. I'm kinda hurt :(
Please advice

Ever since I met my boyfriend, he thinks weddings are a waste of money just for a one day. My family is paying 50%, and agreed on his parents they pay the other 50%. THE PARENTS ARE PAYING! I want this to be a beautiful day for both of us! I dont know many people whose parents pay for their weddings. He wants a small party, without the walk, dress (i dont)
I want a normal weddings, i want a dress, i want to walk down the ile, i want to exchange rings, etc
I dont mind having a party like he wants to, but I want an actually weddings! (we dont have a tight budget).
How could I make him change his mind?

Tell me, please, where do you wear your engagement ring.
Or, where should it be worn?
On right hand or left hand?

It's a bet between me and my friend.

My fiance & I live in Central PA near a small # of family (maybe 20 people). We have family all around the country and have a cluster of friends/family in Northern NJ. My mother wants to hostess an engagement party in Northern NJ (where she lives) - which is fine with us.
Should we invite everyone (including those out-of-state) who will be invited to the wedding or limit it to those in the immediate area?
What about distant relatives who we do not have space to invite to the wedding - Do we invite them to the engagement party or would that be rude?
Should we hostess a separate party for the PA relatives/friends so they have an opportunity to celebrate in advance with us?

I have a few questions about planning my wedding.

First, I'm going to have a very long engagement--probably 3 years. (I want to wait until I get started with med school.) When should I start the actual planning? About a year before the wedding or what?

Second, what happens first: picking attendants or making a guest list? I know that traditionally the number of guests determines how many bridesmaids/groomsmen there are...

Third, both my fiance and I have small immediate families. I only have one sibling, a brother. Is there any kind of etiquette that expects my fiance to ask my brother to be a groomsman? Should I just give my brother something else to do, or should I ask my fiance to make him a groomsman?

Our wedding is coming up and I asked her to put together a guest list from her side and her husbands side (which is my fiance's dad). she has taken forever so my fiance and i sat down and made the guest list. I told her we had and I already had everyones address...she got really snotty (which is her nature) and proceeded to tell me I didnt....that i didnt have her brother's wifes parents did i? and i said no...and she was like see you dont have everyone........ok my guest list is already around 300 and that is just with close family and friends....im not going to invite her sister-in-laws parents who my fiance does not even know!!!!! are you kidding me! Our rule is...if we have never met you or talked to you within the last year....sorry no invite...our wedding is big enough! How do I explain this to her!? HELP!

Okay, the short version - destination wedding, been planning it a long time but due to many unexpected complications, my fiance and I are now eloping instead. It almost seems like fate b/c it was what we wanted to do anyway, then changed our plans to include others, and then had to cancel our other plans. Our invitations even arrived late, so we want to change them to announcements instead. Here is the wording for our message in a bottle announcement, would love some feedback:

"Far away from snow and the cold winter wind’s howl, barefoot on the beach they will be excited for what is about to follow.
They knew it from the day they met that fate had played a role. They were just so right for each other, two halves destined to become one beloved soul.
Beside the ocean hand in hand, casting shadows amidst the tide, he will become her loving husband and she will forever be his bride.
"Bride" and "Groom" joyfully announce that they will be married at a private beach ceremony... etc."

My wedding is June 14 and my Fiance and I are having a sit-down buffet for the reception. The question is about alcohol. Most of my Fiance's family "does not drink" (at least if people are around). The only people who actually do not drink are his father (a baptist minister), his mother, his sister, his grandfather (a baptist minister) and grandmother and his other grandparents. Everyone else (including his brother and sister-in-law) drinks in private. (But SHHHH!! No one knows!). On my side of the family my brother and his wife (guess what he is, yes a baptist minister) and 1 of my 2 sisters are the only ones who do not drink. Of our guests, about 1/2 the list or so do not drink.

My Fiance wanted an alcohol free wedding; I wanted alcohol at our wedding. Someone suggested a "Bring Your Own" approach to the alcohol problem; is this a great solution or a tacky one?

I am so happy about that and accepted but the ring he gave me is really really beautiful but its not the traditional engagment ring its is an eternity ring, so now I feel as though I cant show it off and let everyone know im getting married, my mum said thats not an engagment ring but said it was lovely all the same!! I dont want to change it as my boyfriend chose it for me thinking that I would love it, and it cost him a lot of money it has 48 dimonds in it!
Would you care that it was not the traditional engagement ring or not?

1. We BOTH want a small wedding (and have already scraficed what we want to spare feelings), he has 3 sisters, I have none but am having my best friend and sister in law stand up for me, he is having his 2 best friends, everyone is telling me I should include his sisters, I would add one more person but NOT 3. So am I ok by not having any?

2. Is it wise to get a banquett center, just so I dont have to worry about, catering, security, bar tending ect....
It is way out of our budget, but do able.

3 Anything else you can pass along would be great
Thanks
