We don't have any friends and our families are crazy.

I'm going to an engagement and the theme is royal engagement but I have nothing to wear. I'm horrible with clothes but my sister wants me to look nice and she is either going to get me gloves or a fascinator to wear with a dress. Can someone find me a dress that would fit with this theme? I'm a xs/s. Thanks!

So I just hired a wedding photographer for 5 hours and now I'm freaking out it will not be enough time. My big goal is wedding party pictures, family pictures and first dances. My wedding starts at 4:30 and my reception starts at 5:30, so I was thinking 3-8 for pictures. Any ideas/ suggestions would be great :)

I'm planning a destination wedding. I sent out save the dates......had a lot more people than I originally expected planning to attend. Things have changed. A lot of people are no longer coming....a lot of different reasons. I'm almost tempted to change the entire thing. However....my question is this. I have not sent out the formal invitations yet.....am getting ready to. I assume I should STILL send out the invitations to every single person that got a save the date? Even though a lot have told me they can't attend? This has nothing to do with the cost or anything either....or gifts. Its more the fact that I do know its expensive & I know a lot of personal reasons a few people aren't going....just feel kind of weird sending them invitations anyway.

Long story short - my boyfriend and I have been together for 4 1/2 years and are ready to get engaged and be married. We want to live together before then but his family is very religious and want us married before then. They want us to get married at the courthouse and have our wedding ceremony a year or so later that way we have the okay to move in together. The only reason that I don't want this is because it won't be a wedding it will be a vow renewal. Am I overthinking it? I've been wanting to marry the love of my life for a couple of years now. Is it normal nowadays to get legally married now and have a celebration for it later? Not sure what to think, but I do really want to be his wife already.

My best friend of 8 years was supposed to be my maid of honor and organize my wedding reception. However, a few weeks before the wedding she went MIA. No phone call, text, or anything. She never showed up and I didn't talk to her again. This hurt so much because she was my only best friend and she left me hanging on the most important day of my life. I had to set up my reception the day of the wedding. I finally decided to reach out to her months later, she said she couldn't make it and didn't know how to tell me. She said she didn't think I would understand. However, once she explained it to me it turns out she actually could have made it but didn't. She acted as if it wasn't important at all. My question is should I forgive her and try and save the friendship or just let it go.

My wedding is a rustic country style wedding with a little bit of a rock and roll/biker/darker side twist. Its going to be on a farm inside a barn. He will not wear a suit(eich is fine since its a laid back style wedding) but he also wont wear a button up shirt. Im ok with jeans but i have no idea what shirt he could wear id like something a little dressy but hes into the band tees and i just cant do that, im at a dead end and he will not compromise with me this wedding is 50/50 and this os the only thing we are struggling with.

My children were invited to be in a wedding party of my husband s best friend who passed away five years ago, his sister. We know the family since we were 14 years old. This gal is demanding outlandish expensive things for her wedding. She wasn t brought up this way. I understand it s her special day but the first juniors bridemaid dress she picked was $400, the final one cost us $225 plus tax and and alterations. But at least we get to keep this dress. I just found out she wants my 6 year old go rent a tux. I went to the shop and it s gonna cost $235 FOR A 6 YEAR OLDS TUX. I asked her to please be reasonable. She said "this is what I want and this is what you re getting." If I m spending almost $500 on my children s outfits for a 5 hour party. I can not afford to give a gift as well. I would like to put in the card I would like to put in the card on the day if her wedding something in the line - in lieu of a gift, you have the pleasure of having my children dressed to the nines in your wedding party. I know it's not nice, but she is being aweful

At the last minute, my sister decided that she wanted a destination wedding in the Caribbean this year. She's getting married in about a month and I've already told her that I cannot attend because frankly, I can't afford it. I'm 20, I work a minimum wage job and I don't even have a car of my own at the moment because I'm saving up for it. My mom can't afford to go either and doesn't have the time off of work, and my sister has been throwing a hissy fit telling me I'm a horrible person because I'm missing my only sister's wedding. I feel bad about missing it, but she's the one who chose to have this destination wedding at the last second (She was originally planning to have it in our grandmother's beach home). On top of the plane ticket, passport I'd need to get to travel, plus many other things, my sister also has an extremely lengthy and expensive wedding registry, the cheapest thing on there being $150. Is she being selfish or am I?

Is it normal for a man to change his surname after marriage? My father is very upset about this and I respect him and his opinion about this but the reason I am changing it is because my grandfather was never there for me. He did a lot of bad things cheating, lying, etc..., sand my great grandfather did the same. I feel it has a bad stigma to it and I wanted to change that when I got married to my fiance who is willing to change her name as well.. Am I wrong for doing this? Please be open minded....

I live in MI and would love a fall wedding but I am worried about the weather.

Supposedly, this guy concentrated on his career in his early years. And never pursued any relationship or woman in between. But at 48, his parents are dead, nor does he have any immediate family left. He has achieved his career goals and feels that he can now finally settle down. Do you think dating at such an old age is a good option? I mean most women are bound to see any man at this age as a failure, isn't it? Should he rather just get pets instead? I have a feeling trying for dating at this age is a big waste of time..

What do you think about this short blue lace bridesmaid dress, suitable for wedding? If it makes, how about the price. expensive?

I was with a guy who was separated. He was abusive liar and a cheater. When divorce came through he was already engaged to someone else before it became final. I had no idea because he was still intimate with me. He appears happy with his fiance now. My question is was it just me that made him that way? Is he truly a changed man. How does a person do this. The day I found out he chose to beat me instead. It wasn't the first time. I pressed charges but still waiting as he lies to get out of It. Did I go through this for nothing? Was it me that made him that way? Can this type ever change? Current fiance knows everything I think but stills stays. Is she the one to make him change?
