My husband and I have been married for 15 years, and we have 4 children together. In 2012, my husband found out that he had a daughter from a previous relationship that he never knew about. She is 24 years old. My stepdaughter is a very sweet, down to earth, and laid back. We are all very close to my stepdaughter. My stepdaughter has a $7,500 wedding budget. She is getting married on 1 October 2016. She is inviting approximately 100 people. She has asked us for some help to plan her wedding, and save as much money as possible. She wants an "elegant, eclectic, hippy, shabby chic, woodsy, laid back, country wedding". We've agreed to let her use our property for her wedding and reception. She wants to get married in my rose garden, and have the reception near the massive oak tree, that we have at the back of the property. She hasn't quite narrowed down what she wants to do for her wedding. But I've got a lot of free or reduced priced resources for her wedding. But I'm at a loss as to help her plan. I got married down at the courthouse in my dress uniform. So if you can offer any helpful hints, suggestions, or ideas, please let me know.

I'm 16. It's not a main goal in my life, but it's a nice thought. I think about finding someone I love or my current 'boy who is a friend' and I get like a pretty mermaid dress and getting married at Niagara Falls. It seems like that'd be something really beautiful, but again it's not my focus. My focus now is going to college while also maintaining my love life. But is it strange to be thinking about marriage at all at my age? I also like this bridal show that comes on TV. I love how happy and in love they look and it makes me happy to see them happy and I hope to have that special kind of moment at some point in my life.

Is this a thing ? Are you only supposed to get married if no one opposed your marriage? What if people oppose your marriage for selfish reasons or because they don't understand your relationship? Why do they need to understand it? They won't be the ones living it. I'm aware sometimes this question is asked during the ceremony but it's not supposed to be a reason to call off the ceremony. The officiant is supposed to talk to the bride and groom about it and resume the schedule marriage.

She is being very critical of various aspects of our wedding and keeps trying to make it all about her, her daughters, her granddaughter etc. She recruited the assistance or the best man to gang up on me and he said at the rehearsal dinner when she was complaining that he can get this whole thing called off if she wants. I'm the bride btw. They think we didn't plan it well enough supposedly but the BM is divorces and FMIL is a widow so personally I think they both just have a selfish vested interest in keeping their best friend and son, respectively, single. I'm so furious with both of them. My fiance came out of the whole ordeal a little shaken but after 5 minutes with me was back on board wanting to go through with it as is. The bad part is the night before and morning or our wedding, I will not be seeing him. The ones with closest access to him are discouraging our wedding! What should I do? They are both so rude. If you disapprove of a wedding, you should stay home and that includes the rehearsal. Showing up just to be negative and make comments about preventing it is just so freaking ill mannered!!! Right or wrong?

I can't go online and wait for a gift to arrive in a few days. I was stupid and waited until the last minute. Not thinking, I guess. So what store could I go to, to buy a wedding anniversary gift, please? And I can't also do gift cards. Thank you! :)

My parents begged me to have a big wedding. I said yes because it was a big deal to them. Grooms parents are excited. I have two big issues that will cause me to tell them "no thanks" now. 1. My mother wants to invite more people than what the venue calls for. The "over the venue limit" people will be her guests. She says "we will just deal with it" if too many guests show up. I have a nagging feeling this will be my friends, my groom's friends and my inlaws friends. 2. My mother wants to have a party for the new daughter in law of my estanged aunt the day after the wedding. She said many people didn't get a chance to come to this woman's wedding and she needs to be welcomed into the family. My groom, my inlaws, and myself would not be invited. I have expressed concerns to my parents. They say "I'm acting up" again. I am thinking about cancelling and having a much smaller wedding myself. Am I overreacting? The cousin in question got married 2 years ago and not everyone made it out to her wedding. She had her day and mom should move on from her. Also, we are not leaving for a honeymoon until a week later. I feel it is distracting to my wedding to have a party for someone that is not the bride the day after.

My bridal shower is this Sunday afternoon (wedding is end of July). While doing some last minute updates on my wedding registry at Bed, Bath, and Beyond I found a lot of random stuff on there that we didn't put. Including a LOT of Dora the Explore candy, lip balm (that I honestly can't stand), etc. Even worse, someone purchased it for us (it tells us if something has been bought). I don't know if this was a website error or what. What should I do?? I was thinking of posting on Facebook about this rather embarrassing mistake... but I don't know what the appropriate way to handle this would be.

So I was asked to be in my fiancés brothers wedding and before accepting I asked the bride if she was sure because we don t really talk and we really don t have much of a relationship and she told me that she wanted me to be a part of it so I accepted last week about 4 months before the wedding I received a text message from the bride and it said she didn t want me to be bridesmaid because we don t talk and I was not communicating with her. Or asking her how the wedding planning is going she has never once asked me for help or anything this is my first time being a bridesmaid and I m unsure what my duties are and she never once explained to me what she needed out of me. I am very upset that this happened and this was the reason why I asked her in the first place if she wanted me in her wedding. Do I have a reason to be upset or am I over reacting? My fiancé also told his brother that he does not want to be a part of his wedding anymore because of what happen and he said he feels very disrespected by the couple was that wrong of my fiancé to do?

So my brother bought his first pick at Kay jewelry and we agreed that it does not seem that nice. So we went back returned it and ended up at swarovski. His budget is $200 because well he is saving up for the wedding on 2018 of january and theres still a wedding ring. Since ge has a small budget i thought that swarovski has nice ones for that price. We both liked the design and everything but its cheap. My sister likes the style but i can't help but get bothered by her comment that its light and cheap. My bros fiance is simple and i hope she likes it. But im not sure if its good enough. Whats your opinion?
