Hi, I am trying to plan a budget wedding--am trying to do this as cheaply as possible as my fiance and I are paying for the whole thing ourselves. I just wanted to know others' thoughts on a couple of things: 1.) I have a daughter from a previous relationship that my fiance considers to be his own. I would like to find a special way to include her in the wedding ceremony. Any ideas on a good way to do that? 2.) Would it seem bad or tacky if we served sandwiches at the reception? I feel kind of stupid about that, but Walmart has these huge sub sandwiches that serve a lot of people. We just can't afford catering or anything like that. Any other ideas on how to feed people without spending a fortune? I appreciate all help. :)

We are having a small (about 70 guests) wedding. We will not have a bridal party or maid of honor/best man. We want to incorporate our families though, to help add to the ceremony. Would this be weird? Officiant (my Uncle) Groom with his 2 adult sisters Groom's mom and dad Bride's mother with Bride's brother Ring Bearer (nephew) Bride with dad Thanks in advance for any input!

My boyfriend asked me in a formal conversation how I felt about getting a prenup. We've talked about kids and a future before, but this one caught me off guard! Do you think he's pondering a marriage?

I'm 18 years old. its my boyfriends sisters wedding. I've been told it's smart/casual, so not over the top but still looking nice. The wedding is in august, so hopefully the weather will be nice. (im in the uk). i think the wedding reception is at 12/1. so would this dress be suitable for the wedding? with some neutral heels and a clutch bag?.. They also have the dress in black and red. but i dont think black for a wedding is that great and i dont really think red is my colour.. and at least its not fully white as it has that pinkish tone.. Anyway all advice and comments much appreciated :)

Hello , I'm trying to find a nice wedding venue that allows you to choose your own caterer for your reception, we have a restaurant we want to use but cannot find a venue that doesn't require to use theirs .

My boyfeiend and I havev been dating for a while and he turns 27 this weekend. He has told me on occasion that he is at the point in his life where he may soon want to settle down and have kids because he doesnt want to be an old dad. He as also said that he does see himself settling down with me for long term. To me this is great but also not so great. While there are some good reasons to marry him, there are a few reasons that are bothering me that make me think marrying him may not be so great. One of them happens to be his step mother. I hate her. He unfortunately is very close with her and I often don t want to be near him when he is with her. This is almost reason alone for me not to want to marry him because I dont want her being my mother in law. I would not want her at my wedding and I woud not want her to be the grandmother of my kids if I were to have any. My feeling about this will not change. I know I cannot axpect him to cut off all connection with his step mother and it would be wrong to tell him that she is not allowed at the wedding and that I would refuse to let her around any of our future children. I know he won t propose anytime soon. it wouldf be a few years before we decided on that decision together although we already live together. Would it be wrong to tell him I refuse to marry him if his step mother is around? And how would I able able to cope with being in the same family as her? If we were to get married, how could I deal with her being around? Sorry for the typos, I was typing fast. What I mean is, how do people normally deal with a mother in law that hate? I really don't want her to be the reason I miss out on a possibly wonderful marriage. I am not jealous of the relationship. I hate her as a person because she does things I greatly disapprove of md that go agaisnt everything I was brought up to believe. I don't want to have to deal with a person I cannot get along with and I would not want my future children to be around that type of person.

Sometimes people can't control their emotions, but when it goes overboard, it can extend onto the next person. Would you marry someone who's emotionally unstable or gets emotional at every situation? If females' case, sometimes they use emotions as some form of manipulation.

I love her :)

My fiance and I are looking for an engagement ring for me, and based off the websites we are looking at, no where sells a size 4 ring. We are unable to physically go to store due to where we live, so does anyone know if they sell smaller sizes in store and not online?

So I was going to buy a personalized cutting board that I found on etsy as a bridal shower gift. However, there are two other cutting boards on the gift registry. The cutting board I purchased is much nicer than those on the registry. It is unique and special. Should I just let it go and if she receives other cutting boards she can return them? SHould I email the registry store and pretend like I bought one and ask it to be listed as "purchased?" ????? What to do?! thanks everyone!

My husband and I had been discussing trying to have a baby. We made a plan, I made the appointment to have my IUD removed, and right about that time, my sister got engaged and asked me to be her MOH. I graciously accepted, but then my husband was the one to remind me that I would be very heavily pregnant on that wedding day if our plan went how we intended it to. So what would you do? Would you rearrange your plans for a family around someone else's wedding? Would you decline the position of MOH? Or would you be a big old pregnant lady at the wedding? Just gathering opinions, thank you Hi everyone, I appreciate all of the feedback so far! To clarify, this wedding is in January, and I have already had my IUD removed.

I'm thinking play 3 fast songs, 1 slow, 3 fast, and so on...

My stepsister is 22 and getting married again. This is her 3rd wedding. She married when she was 16 and divorced a few months after that. Married again at 18 and divorced after a year and a half. Now she's engaged again. I wasn't at either of her other weddings because I wasn't invited (I was 14 when she got married first and 16 when she got married the second time). This time, however, because her dad, my stepfather, is paying for it, he's insisting I be invited so people won't suspect we're not the happy family he and my mom have always pretended we are. Here's the thing: I got the invitation 2 weeks ago. My stepsister called to my house a few days after saying she didn't want me there and if I show up, she's going to ruin me. She also pointed out that I'm not allowed to bring a +1 and will be seated at the "reject table" as she called it. She said a lot of things, to be honest, and then she left. I told her I wouldn't go and I thought that was that. But then my mom called and said I was going whether I wanted to or not. I told her I wasn't, explained what happened, but my stepfather, who came onto the phone after, insisted that I attend. Should I go to keep them happy? Or am I right to say I won't go?

Our other sister was asked, her best friend and HER FUTURE SISTER IN LAW. And when I was told this was asked in the same sentence if I would organise the hen. I told her I would I got upset and she then asked me after that but said I would not be able to sit at the top table. The hen just happened at the weekend and organised that and brought emotion back. Organised such a good hen but feel she is such a ***** at times and still feel hurt by this initial betrayal, which was months ago. She needed to appreciate the work that went in and well without any sort of proper gratitude having disregarded my feelings day one. How would you girls react to this. I accepted to be bridesmaid cold heartedly as well say yeah free outfit and guess what she asked us to buy our own shoes and pay for alterations ourselves which I think is wrong, Well the alterations anyway. feck that.

lol was watching wedding videos and came across that

Its when the Disc Jockey Starts asking for items of clothing off, the Guests, Sometimes it Goes too far , Anyone had this Experience?

Hi! I'm very lucky to be getting married in a month to a man I love and adore. Although he's my best friend and we know all about each other I have no idea what to get him as a wedding present! I was thinking something sports related. He loves golf and baseball. I want this gift to really blow his socks off. Something thats out of the box. A gift thats unique and shows I spent time looking for it.( I make 600k a year so money isn't an issue) Thanks so much!
