I'm not going to write a whole paragraph explaining why I'm asking this question because I'll just get abuse for it, to be honest I think a lot of people are on here to put others down and to let off some steam, I have never felt so depressed in my life after reading your hateful comments

My fi parents are so much closer than my real parents (i dont talk to them. )We are doing the mother son dance but i was wondering if their was something i could do too tbh i kinda feel a little left out...

Okay, I am getting married in September, (6 months away), and I want to buy the perfect gift for my fiance to give to him on the day of. Help!!!

I'm in grad school, so I'm VERY busy. I have 15 months to plan my wedding, but I won't really be able to actually plan it for most of that time due to my course load at college. I would like for my dad to give me a number as to how much he is willing to pay for the wedding. He offered to pay for all of it originally, but he keeps telling me that we should go a non-traditional route and have me pay half, or have my fiance's parents pay half...which would be fine, but 1) I'm poor. I'm surviving on 80k of loans and 2) my fiance's family doesn't have a lot of money. I'm not wanting anything extravagant, but my dad booked an $8000 reception venue. If he's the one not paying for the wedding, nobody can afford that. But then he says he's paying for it. Then he says the fiance and I should pay for it, back and forth, back and forth. Every time I ask him for a ballpark budget number, he says don't worry about it, my wedding is 15 months away. I should chill out. But I feel like I don't have that long, especially since I can't plan anything given the fact that I don't have any basis on how much can go into each category. Background info: He is a rather manipulative, controlling person. I've never been the assertive type. He doesn't get along with my fiance's family because of how he treats my family (controlling, emotionally abusive to my mom, etc). So I guess I need advice. Am I overreacting? Is he being wishywashy and playing games? What is y'alls take? What should I do?

Like her husband's. I didn't want an engagement ring either and people think it's weird.

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? I am new to Yahoo Answers I guess Mrs. Phay is one of the trolls people refer to? Could somebody help me out?

He attacked me Friday night. The neighbor saw and heard everything. That scared him so he stopped. I told him we are through and he needs to get his own phone plan (we share mine now) and his stuff. He only texted me back to ask me if I would give permission to t-mobile for him to switch plans. I said yes and I did. He said he would be here tonight to get his stuff. I texted him back that I have too much going on today, it;s not a good day. Plus, I may have a concussion so I need to rest and may need a follow up appt with doctor. He didn't show up to get his stuff, but he also never texted me back. I am just trying to understand why? Why didn't he at least text back "ok", or I am sorry (I don't care, I am not taking him back) just trying to understand his behavior, or"when can I stop by to get my stuff"?

I feel like the answer is yes but I would like to know what other people think. It is for my brother's wedding. I am not a bridesmaid but since I am in the immediate family there will be photos of me with the bride and groom. I can't ask the bride what she thinks of the dress because she doesn't like being asked lots of questions about wedding things. http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/maggy-london-floral-print-sateen-fit-flare-dress-regular-petite/3981643?origin=category&BaseUrl=Dresses I know I posted this before but there was no link so I am just posting the question again so more people can see it with the link now. (it posted twice, one with no link in the wedding section and with with a link in the fashion section)

I'm really good friends with his fiance as well, so much so that I'm her maid of honor at the wedding. I really want to paint them something special, but I just can't think of anything. Even vague suggestions would be helpful.

I recently decided to make it official with my gf of 4 years and went and bout her diamond. Found an i1 with the smallest inclusion you could barely see it under the micro. And an added benefit, the setting is covering the small inclusion. Picked up a carat plus for around 4k. Any thoughts out there??

Weird, I posted this question already with the link and everything in a different section. It is like a glitch made it post twice. I never even saw this post until much later.

My fiancé and I are getting married in July. We have planned a very traditional black-tie wedding, and it is going to be at night. 6pm ceremony, followed by a reception going until about midnight. He and I agreed that it would be a 21+ affair- just trying to keep the guest list down since I have a really large extended family. So all was fine and dandy, all family we told the details to were excited for us. We just sent out our invitations, and my fiancé's brother's wife (who I don't really know, she's not even in the wedding party either) angrily called my fiancé asking why her two children (8 and 6) are not being invited. She assumed they would be an exception to the under 21 rule because they are the only grandchildren so far. She said something along the lines of how dare we exclude family members, and how dare we request their presence if their children weren't allowed at their uncle's wedding, yada yada. This was last night and I am still collecting my thoughts on how to reach out to her. Are we really that out of line? It's OUR wedding, and the time/venue are inappropriate for young kids.

Long story short: My brother is getting married this summer. He is my only sibling. His fiancée has made no secret about disliking me and my family (for no reason actually, I've asked my brother if I did something wrong at any point and he says he has no idea what I am talking about), but hey this is my brother's life/problem. The wedding has been a dramatic mess so far, with her going ahead and planning every last detail, and just making demands of everyone else. Now I am not in the wedding party... I was not invited to the engagement party, to any of the "planning parties," to the bachelorette party (I am definitely old enough to attend), and I am not allowed to bring a plus one to the wedding. But I am included in things where she needs gifts. I was invited to the shower and I will obviously give them money at the wedding, but now I am being invited to a "lingerie party" and A. Am not interested in buying lingerie for the lady sleeping with my brother, and B. Lingerie aside, do not want to contribute anymore. How can I decline this invitation without causing a problem? She is the type who will hold a decline against me just because she likes creating drama.

Looking for a fun, unique form of entertainment for our wedding reception. We are getting married at my fiance's parent's property in Pennsylvania. It is a former farm (no animals there anymore) but we certainly have the space for this machine, kids will be there and I think it would be really fun for them, and it goes along with the setting.

I already have both veils, and both look stunning with my dress, i just cant decide which one to wear down the aisle, and i think it would look really beautiful together but i dont know how to go about attaching them together or if thats a bad idea??

The thought of having a wedding (even a small wedding) makes me want to crawl in a hole and hide.

To make a long story short. I have three older brothers and an older sister. There was drama when they got married because they mentioned our mom and dad, but not our stepmother. None of us are close to her and we don't talk to her. Part of it is because she's always been very disrespectful of our late moms memory. So they didn't want to mention her during the weddings and she wasn't listed on their invitations. My fiancé and I are paying for our wedding. It's going to be an outdoors, informal wedding. He suggested that we should just not mention any parents at the wedding so there won't be arguments over her not being mentioned again. He already talked to his brother about it and his brother said he would be okay about not mentioning their parents during his speech and I know my sister would be more than okay with it. I just know if that is one of the rules, mentioning the parents, because every wedding I've attended, the parents have been mentioned at some point.

I am traditional in the sense that my goals are to get married and have children compared to some opinions saying things like 'if you are committed then there's no need to get married' which I don't agree with - this has nothing to do with trust issues or insecurities but I just want an official confirmed relationship and I feel that we would be more respected as a couple if we were to get engaged? Thoughts??

Me and my boyfriend have been together a year and a half (feels like I've known him a lifetime) I'm just finishing college and I am set to go to uni this September for 3 years. My boyfriend tells me how much he wants to marry me so the feelings are mutual and I'm not pushing him into anything, we are now living together and it had only made us closer and stronger as a couple, we couldn't be happier and we truly believe that we are soulmates, he makes me the best version of myself and I don't want to live in a world where he isnt mine!! we agreed that we want to get married and have kids once I've got a job after uni but I would really prefer to be engaged before I go to uni so I can have something to save for and something to look forward to and motivate me to do my best in uni every time I look at the ring on my finger, it would mean the world to me, but is it ok to get engaged at 18/19 (my birthday is in November) and wait 3 years to get married? We are very mature for our ages, he will be 20 soon, we both pay our bills, work full time (I am a student as well), we are independent and very happy together, we both want the same thing, just the only question is when is best to get engaged - before uni or after uni? Thanks in advance :)

I know with a church wedding you have to get a marriage licence & I think take classes & stuff....do you have to do all that stuff if you are just gona have a small wedding done by a friend who is an ordained minister?

Ok, so my sisters bf and her are engaged so :) and well my uncle and aunt want her to have a Christian wedding since they're christian ( sort of ) just born into the religion dont really practice it. my cousin wants a non-traditional wedding and like at the beach and super fun. Is it wrong to want so? her dad is cool but moms making a big deal out of it and is like well then i will end up in hell and not show up. Is it wrong to say that ? Ive mixed feelings. My cousins a wreck ( she asked me to post ). All help would be so amazing!!!
