One of my bridesmaids conferenced all my bridesmaids (4 in all) to plan a bachelorette weekend for me. I had not been included in the conversation and was unaware. Within minutes of an idea being put out the bridemaid (future sister in law) stated that she was not going to be a part of anything but standing in attendance to the wedding as she would have anxiety issues (side note: she travels farther than where the event is to take place to see a friend every other week). Another stated that because she had children she could not participate in the event (3 have children and only the one who conferenced all is a single mother). The bridesmaid that conferenced them all called them out on their responses. Which caused squabbles amongst my bridesmaids. When the dust settled, the future sister in law bridemaid no longer wants to be a part of the wedding and demands that I the bride apologize to her and has told her parents only part of the story which has them demanding one as well. She has not spoken to me but has gone through my fiance (her brother). He has in turn told her that she needs to talk to the parties involved and stop demanding an apology from me as I had not been privy to any of the mess until our phones began blowing up with angry ladies. What should I do?? this is putting undue stress on my fiance and I.

We are going to St. Pete beach in early September to get married on pass-a-grille. I wanted to have an early wedding because we are planning on heading to Clearwater after to go on the dinner cruise and moving to the hyatt and I don t want to be rushed. I was thinking around 12pm but I was told that it will be to hot and crowded at that time. The day we are getting married is a Wednesday I should add. So I m hoping to hear from anyone in that area or from someone who had a beach wedding earlier also for any advice you can give. Thanks in advance!!

My fiance and I have been courting for 22 months. We are in our early 40's, and we are both widowers. Neither of us have any children. We became engaged earlier this month. We are thinking about eloping. We don't want to plan something that will take months. We just want to go down to the courthouse or local JOP, and say I do. Our parents are fine with whatever we decide. What were your reasons for eloping?

I m renting out benches for an outdoor wedding; we ll be setting up and tearing down. I was thinking about having staff t-shirts made, and requiring nice jeans. Is this appropriate? What do you think? It s not like we ll be present during the wedding, unless we have to break down immediately after the ceremony in the case of rain. Let me clarify: WE are the staff. As in, the benches belong to me and I'm renting them to the bride. I'm asking about the two guys I'm hiring and myself for setup and tear-down.

I love my sister but she is going to want to gossip and gossip and gossip. We are going to my cousins wedding so a six hour drive and afterward trying to fit everyone into cars to head home. My grandfather could right with his brother home and that way my sister can fit in the car with my parents, however how can I get him to do that? I would happily drive my grandfather myself but he is uncomfortable in my car. The reason I don't want to drive my sister is because she is going to want to gossip with me about a family situation with my Dad and step-mother that I am uncomfortable talking about but she gets mad when I tell her I'd rather not discuss it (I am close to my Dad but she is not). Also she is going to want to gossip about our older half-brother who is in jail and any gossip from the wedding crowd. Lastly I'd like to leave early in the morning and she would never let me if she is riding with me. I am 27 and she is 19.

So my boyfriend and I are approaching 4 years in August. He is 24 and I am 21. He gave me a "pre engagement" ring for Valentine's Day this year. He has been saying certain things that is making me think he is planning to propose. For instance, something happened between us and he was upset at me and he said "I was looking at engagement rings". Then, I was upset at him and he said "I have been working on something that will be unveiled to you soon".... Then, he told me he ordered me something and a few weeks went by and when I asked where it was he said "when the time is right" and when I asked what it was his response was "something you have always wanted"... He has been saving money for a LONG time and has thousands saved. He makes comments such as "I'm trying to save as much as I can" recently. Also, he wanted to take me on a vacation for our anniversary this year, but my job doesn't facilitate that. So, my question is do you think he is planning to propose or am I crazy? Lol

we will be there for 4 days and are only bringing carry ones, so im concerned with having room in my bag for everything i will need. i only planned on bringing a couple pairs of flip flops, would that be acceptable to wear to a beach wedding?

Hi everyone, I'm recently engaged as of April (so ecstatic!) and I was just wondering when is the right time to go dress shopping. We want to be married within a year or so, and so far we haven't agreed on a set date. I said April so it would align with our engagement date, but he wants a winter wedding (not this winter but next winter around December of 2017). Since my engagement, I've been just looking at dresses online trying to figure out what I like and what I don't like. Anyway, maybe now is too soon to start seriously shopping in the stores, but when exactly should I start looking and trying on dresses? Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Guess I should have included that I'm not the one planning my wedding. My fiance's parents are funding and planning the wedding completely (it's a cultural thing and leaves me with 0 stress so it works out well). The only thing I really have to help decide on is the date for the wedding (that works well for everyone) and picking out a dress.

My fiancée and I (I'm the groom) are trying to figure out some things for our wedding, and we need to figure out (1) what our budget is and (2) whose guest preferences to give more weight to. Is there a right way to ask if parents are contributing financially to our wedding? Is there a wrong way? Mrs. Frankenstein ~ I don't often stoop this low, but in your case I will make an exception... If you are familiar with the English language and have functional eyes, you should be able to detect the word "if" and comprehend its meaning. Example: "Is there a right or wrong way to ask parents IF and how much money they're contributing...". Granted, perhaps I should have phrased it "and/or". However, in the description, I omitted the "how much" entirely. "Is there a right way to ask IF parents are contributing financially to our wedding? Is there a wrong way?" I am not assuming that they are contributing. I am specifically asking you if there is a right way to ask if they are, so that I can neither assume that they are nor assume that they are not. Perhaps you're only hunting for points for a quick answer and don't give an eff if your answer actually addresses the question, but I get sick of you idiots answering a question I didn't ask. TL;DR: READ THE EFFING QUESTION LADY! Mrs. Frankenstein~Asking them IF they're contributing implies that I want to know if they are or if they aren't. It doesn't assume anything. However, I do apologize for blowing up at you, that probably wasn't the best thing I could have done. Mrs. Frankenstein~OKAY! NOW WE'RE GETTING SOMEWHERE. I asked IF there was a right way. You could have just said "No, there is no right way. The etiquette of the situation is that any way of asking is the wrong way." Let me say again: I. AM. THE. GROOM. I never think about weddings or wedding etiquette, so my question didn't presume one way or another, I just wanted to know. Mrs. Frankenstein~My update 4 was posted before your Edit 3. Didn't mean to disrupt the defusion Before I saw your edit 3 anyway

He died last year and I'm getting married at 29 year's old next may. I was wondering if a small tribute or memorial during reception would be appropriate or not? If so what kind of memorial would be appropriate?

I found a dream of a venue to have my wedding at, but it's an hour and a half from where both our families are from. I don't want this to cause people to not come, but I also can't picture myself getting married anywhere in my small hometown.

I m engaged and having an October weddjng that will be considered untraditional. We are doing a hand fasting and jumping the broom at the reception and the wedding will actually take place in a hot air balloon. ... the question is... I am a redhead, not that it makes a difference, with skittish heritage and my last name has multiple common tartans from the Scottish clan associated with it. Tartan rendering to the kilt pattern for those that may not be as familiar. My fiance wants to wear the kilt that goes with my last name at our wedding as symbolic ly joining my family s clan.... It s already going to be on the pagan side so wondering if this is woukd be a nice touch or come out awkward since we are in USA ? I was totally on board until someone trashed the idea and made it sound stupid. Please no haters just honest thoughts

I assume if you buy a bridal set that the engagement and wedding ring are separate at first, correct? Does the bride to be wear the engagement ring, then stop wearing it to have the wedding ring melded together with it shortly before the wedding in order to be presented on that day?
