As I research online, I'm finding that alot of the venues hold more than what my group seems to be. Our guest list so far has 50 people and I honestly don't want to push it by just inviting anyone.

I know that you can't take an engagement ring home until it has been fully paid for, but I really would like to propose to my girlfriend on a specific date that is before I fully pay for the ring. What I wanted to know is that if its possible that the jewelers let me borrow the ring for the day that I propose, than the next day I return it until I fully pay for it? Thank you in advance.

I wanna marry a 42 yr old woman

Does anyone know of any small wedding venues near the Los Angeles/Orange County area? Looking at our guest list; it seems that we are looking at a guest list of around 50 people.

I want this for her but I feel like he's very controlling. I don't know how she really feels about him but he is 6 years older and has 4 children already. I don't want to let her get into marriage and she'll forever feel unhappy. She's 20 years old and my question in how should I handle this. I'm not being over-protection, I just have concerns.

And if you are married , were you one of those people that said that they never would get married?

My future mother in law is throwing me a bridal shower. She invited 40 people, only 8 of which I know. Only one of my bridesmaids got invited and my mom wasn't even invited. The 8 people I do know, are the only people on the guest list that are even invited to the wedding. Would it be proper ettiquite to ask her if I can invite people that I would like to be there and that will actually be invited to the wedding?

I was married a few weeks ago and as a present to me my husband revealed that years ago after he lost his job he had a lot of free time on his hands and he wanted to write to his future spouse. Basically like what marriage meant to him and how much he knew he would love me some day. Some days he included movies he wanted to watch with me, articles on marriage, love poems etc. He said he made the crazy promise that he would always send something once a day until he found me and he always did. he sais he hoped it would represent his undying love for me and that he never gave up looking for me. He also had friends that had been married and divorced and he realized that in writing to me how important I was and that if he ever were to forget or if we ever hit a rough patch this would remind me what its really all about. I was very shocked and happy that he did this. I was just curious if any other husbands had done this for their wife and even if not how would you feel?

My aunt is getting married this year and at first, she was telling everyone that it would be at our families beach house. That was fine since it isn't to far and we wouldn't have to spend money on rooms since we all could just stay there, but now she has decided that the wedding is going to be in Costa Rica. A lot of people were invited to this wedding and so far only about 30 are going, myself not included. I can't afford to go to Costa Rica right now, especially since I already have paid for the plane tickets and hotel for another trip I'm going on soon (I planned this before I knew of the wedding destination) and on top of that, her wedding registry is very luxurious and all the things on the list cost a minimum of $100. No one in the family can pay for anyone else to go since tickets are so expensive either, so I can't go at all. Do you think it's selfish to have destination weddings? I would go if I had extra money but I don't.

I have (had? who knows at this point) 4 bridesmaids all set to be in my wedding in October. I asked them a week ago during our engagement party and they were thrilled, except now two are being, well, not nice. I have only decided on the colors and how I would like their dresses, like just thinking out loud nothing planned set in stone yet, but they are giving me the third degree on the how the colors and cut of the dress I'm thinking about won't look good on them and the color won't match her skin tone. They are now saying that they won't wear their makeup a certain way and one saying that she won't carry flowers at all...I mean, they are pretty much dictating MY WEDDING and I'm not a bridezilla folks, not by a long shot. I'm willing to compromise on some things, but it's been a week and they are already emailing me saying things like they'll cut their hair if they want to and get tattooed (don't care, as I have plenty myself) but it's like they are making me out to be a bridezilla when I haven't even DONE anything! Even the other two are shocked and pissed off at them for having such an elitist attitude like it's THEIR wedding. I have known these girls my whole life and yes, they can be drama queens, but I asked them based off friendship and love and now I'm getting nothing but demands from THEM in return. How I can take control back of MY WEDDING? Also, I was in one of the girls and all but bent over backwards for her wedding and now I'm just being "walked over" it seems.

My daughter is getting married in a month and she wanted to have a open bar for 3 to 4 hours. I wanted to know what will be the ideal duration a bar should be open. Then if some one gets drunk and let us say they fall down, in which case who is responsible for that accident? What is the best way to avoid that kind of incidents? Can the guest sue us for keeping the bar open for a long time? ANy suggestions?

Hey so I'm in my teens and everyone is having sex and getting pregnant. My family and church say to save myself for marriage. Any advice?

I'm getting marry and it's been really hard to find an affordable place to our wedding, our budget is $4,000.

She says that there's no way she'll continue being exclusive with me after I canceled our wedding. She says it's extremely rare for a couple to cancel their wedding, call off their engagement and continue being in a committed relationship. So she has decided to see other people. In the mean time, we still stay together a lot (my house is closer to her work place.) but she is going on dates with other men. It drives me crazy but I don't want to be apart from her either. What should I do? (I called off the wedding because we were fighting a lot and just general cold feet but I love her so much.) swbarnes2: I would never, ever kick her out. How dare you talk about her that way. Leave your personal opinions of marriage and women at the door. This was an emotional question not a practical one. Plus shows what you know, you illiterate tool. She has her own house. I said she stays with me "a LOT", yes it is partially convenience because my house is closer to her work than hers, but I can deal with that because I'm the one who opted out of marrying her. I deserve whatever I get. Work on your reading comprehension. If she stays with me 'a LOT' then obviously she has her own place already. E: Same goes for you. She is well within her rights to date other men. As you said, we want different things right now. "Once she finds her own place," again if you fancy yourself worthy of giving advice, you should learn to read. And I mean reading the question, not just other people's short answers. And what "false hope" is she feeding??? I backed out of the marriage. If anything I was feeding her false hope the entire engagement. Now even when you were ASSUMING that she didn't have her own place, you expected me to make her homeless too??? I see what women mean when they say that the cards are stacked against them. Public opinion is just so harsh on them. I came here to get emotional feedback, not idiots who clearly didn't even read carefully telling me to kick her out. And what "false hope" is she feeding???

To the rest of the world who might answer: Please do not give me advice on who I should let live or stay in my house. That's a little personal and much too important a decision for me to take to YA to call upon anonymous strangers for guidance. Also I have 0 intention of asking her not to stay with me because I enjoy her company. My mind is made up, this is not up for debate. Thank you just the same. sw: Thanks for your "comment" replying. She didn't really break up with me, she wanted to marry me. I ruined everything. This is my fault, not hers. She can stay at my house as much as she wants. She is ALWAYS welcome.

I am days away from marrying the most wonderful woman in my life. My lovely fiance recently informed me that she wants all cameras on me to catch my reaction when she takes her first steps down the isle. The problem, is that I have difficulty expressing emotions. I don't want my gorgeous fiance to feel shocked when I don't keel over and cry like I've seen so many men do at weddings. I'm just not an emotionally driven man. Any suggestion or advice for possibly forging a reaction without it seeming fake?

Me and my fiance are getting married May 15th, but we're just going to the Justice of the Peace and then being sent to a mystery place lined up by his parents. Should we still get a small wedding cake considering we're not having an actual wedding?

I have a few months before the wedding.

Long story short, One of my longest friends (shes slightly a drama queen) and I just got into it last week because she thought I was talking bad about her.. which wasn't the case at all..but instead of discussing it with me..she sent me a Facebook message telling me she no longer considered me a friend. and blah blah blah..btw its a month before the wedding... anyway I have already bought my dress..and its in her possession right now..do I ask for it, do I let her keep it..or ask for some money for it? idk what do to..I didn't pay for the dress for someone else to wear it...but I also don't want to ruin her wedding..by being childish like she is? but I mean it would be nice to try and sell it and get someone of my money back?

I'm looking into jacket options.. considering light purple lace, ivory lace, or denim jackets to wear with my wedding gown.. thoughts? My gown is an ivory very simple empire waist gown, nothing fancy! Cannot upload a photo, otherwise I would!

I am on my honey moon with my wife. She is making a big deal that I am messaging my friend back home, who happens to be a woman. I only do it cause I get messages from her and don't want to be rude, I like hearing how she is and it is just something to pass the time when nothing is happening. Wife keeps reminding me how lucky I am to have such a tolerate wife. How do I get her to stop nagging?

My boyfriend had his ring size taken yesterday, since I want to get him an 'engagement' ring that will become his wedding band. The lady said he is a size 8 but he said he liked 81/2 since i's easier to take off. Should we get an 8 exactly or get something a little bigger like an 8.25?

I just started my registry, and my friend had me send her the link she noticed that all the items I had so far were under 30 dollars, which I had planned on doing most of them that way. She commented that having so many "cheap" items was tacky and people would think I was white trash or something. Normally I don't care but is she right? I plan on adding more of a variety but I did find plenty of things I liked for that price. We are both moving out of our parent's house so we really do need a lot of the basics. So anyway, is it tacky? Also even though I live with my mom I lived with roommates before and I had bought many appliances prior to moving out. So I already have things like a microwave, coffee pot, etc. that are basically brand new still. I just do not have the smaller things..

In Corning ca on this October 3rd will the weather be Okay to have an outside wedding I'd love to have it outside on that day please help
