Hello to the people that care. I am getting married in two years and have about 100 guests attending my wedding and the majority is family. The thing is, I'm planning on a beach venue which is TWO HOURS from my home town and maybe about 90% of the guests live in my area also. Personally, I would drive this far to go to a wedding. But I want some input from you guys! Would you drive 2 hours to a friend or loved ones wedding? I want honest opinions before I put my down payment into the wedding venue in July. Thank you so much for your time :) Also it is on a Friday, I know this is a very difficult day. But the price is right on that day. And it a very special day. 7/7/17

We are opening a wedding venue soon and can't seem to come up with a name. Here's so info to give you some inspiration and visuals. It's on 30 acres of land. Mostly wooded with a field and a pond. Various creeks and streams. Just stunning! It's on a road called idlewild. Our family name is Marsh. We have all different kinds of trees. A gazebo over the pond. A patch of lilys that grow when you pull in the drive way. My mother loves sun flowers and flowers in general. We don't want this to only be a rustic wedding venue but also a formal option. Please HELP!!

I'll be honest. I'm posting this because I just want to vent about it. The bride is my future sister-in-law. Our weddings are a month apart and we're in each others wedding. The main reason I'm frustrated is because I picked out the colors of my dresses for my wedding but let my girls pick which dress they liked best on them. That way they look beautiful and feel just as happy and confident on my wedding day. Then she sends me a picture of the ones she wants her bridesmaids to wear and they are hideous. I don't know her very well but I sense insecurity issues and I'm honestly wondering if she picked this dress to make all of us look ugly next to her. It just pisses me off that I was so lenient on what my bridesmaids wore and this is what I get in return. I know I have to suck it up and wear it but it makes me feel like I need to lose a ton of weight (I had a baby a year ago and even though I'm back to my normal weight, I still have body issues) and it's like a dusty pink color. Can anyone relate? I would love to hear stories that would make me feel better haha! thanks!

I have 6 bridesmaids and I'm already getting them robes that say bridesmaid and totes with their names on it. Do you guys think that's enough of a gift or do I need more? I feel like I need to fill the totes with something but that's when it starts to get really expensive. Links to websites would be very helpful. Also what do you think of DIY bridesmaid gifts? Thanks! Oh and please don't say a bottle of wine because I'm only 19 so I can't even purchase it haha. I also forgot to mention that I know a lot of people do picture frames but I already did a box with pictures on each side when asking each of them to be a bridesmaid so I feel like another one would be overkill.

What is your preference?

When I was engaged my fiance kept a woman close later after I was married it was revealed that he was actually her sugar daddy. Has that happened to anyone else?

I'm 17 and my boyfriends 18. We already got a beautiful baby girl and been wanting to get married for about a year now. We both want this to be able to form a united family. My question is to get married in a chapel do I still need my parents? And around how much would I be spending if we just want the simplest wedding. Just us 2 including my daughter and that's it. I'd appreciate no negative comments. Thanks.

As a female in the USA, I feel I should know how this tradition works... but I am still confused on this. First of all, which hand does the engagement ring go on? The wedding ring? Here is what confuses me: It seems unnecessary to have both an engagement ring and a wedding ring. Would it be weird if my fiance just got me my wedding ring and I wore it during the time I was engaged? I know that some people combine their engagement ring together with their wedding ring after they get married, but again this seems unnecessary to me. Would love a description on how this tradition works usually. Any advice is appreciated :)

Its about a month and a half till the wedding, and I haven't moved so my address is the same. I feel awkward asking and if she has some kind of excuse it's going to be more awkward.

My fiance and I are getting married soon and would like to know which parts should be filled by who. Which family members of each side suit each part?

I just want a great estimate. If you could help me out that would be awesome. :)

I am going to a wedding in August; the bride and groom are 25 years old. On their wedding site, under the registry tab, they say they are doing a non-traditional approach and are asking for donations for any of the following funds: honeymoon fund, pet fund, house fund, travel fund. They are asking us to specify which fund we are making a contribution to. I haven't been to many weddings before so for all I know this could be totally normal but it seems so tacky to me. What do you think? I don't want to give money to a fund, I'm already paying enough to travel and stay overnight in a hotel.

I love my fiancé. He is the most amazing man I've ever met. I know he will make an amazing husband, father, etc. However, I've suffered from intense anxiety throughout our entire engagement...I have dealt with anxiety for a large part of my life. I'm absolutely going to marry him and would never change my decision...but this fear sure has been a roller-coaster ride...can anyone relate? Did you have anxiety during your engagement? Did it get better or go away after you were married? Thanks! :-)

My colleague and I have a good relationship in/outside work. She's having an out-of-town wedding (about 2-hr drive from where I live) and I booked an overnight hotel for $300+. It is about an 8-min walk to the ceremony and reception. Either way, I would taste the wine, but not get drunk. Ceremony will start at 4:30p, then I'm free to leave after dinner. Should I keep the $300 room or drive back home? Thanks.

I'm the MOH for my sister's wedding. I have no clue what to give her as a gift. I know that she is giving me and the other bridesmaids the jewelry for the day as a gift. So I don't want to gift jewelry back, besides, she loses jewelry. I need ideas that are relatively inexpensive. I was just accepted into grad school and have relocation expenses and will have to buy a car for school. Also, because I'm moving I will have to fly in for the wedding. On the plus side though, she doesn't want any kind of shower or party. They were planning to buy a house and get married, but got pregnant in the middle of things. The wedding wasn't exactly an option, so they do not have a house, but now have a baby who will be 6mo come wedding day. They do not have a registry. She says that she really doesn't want any gifts other than money. She doesn't want to have to store then pack and haul it when they finally get their house. I suggested they create a honey fund/ 1st home fund, but she wants to follow traditional etiquette.

Hey everyone. Over the weekend I attended a wedding where the crowd was "complaining" that open bar was only for one hour. I am getting married in October and am really nervous now about how my guests will react to my idea. I wanted to have an alcohol-free wedding, because my fiancé does not drink (former alcoholic, sober for 4 years now and doing awesome). But are people going to be talking badly about me/us/our wedding if this is the case? My wedding will be at a gallery, so there is no bar setup sitting there staring back at everyone.

I am George and I am about to marry my life he is Italian. Should I have in the wedding my parents or you think they will feel a bit awkward same for my parents-in-law the parents of my future husband

These three girls are three of my closest friends and we became close within the year of me getting engaged. We are all getting married within 2 weeks of each other this summer. I have no idea what to give them! A picture frame? A giftcard seems so generic... I want it to be sentimental and special. Any ideas?

We decided to have a small intimate wedding with close friends and family on the beach. We were going to just go to city hall and not make a fus but my parents insisted we do something more. The thing I'm woried about is that my parents will do or say something to make the whole thing akward. When I told them my fiancé was raised by gay parents and they asked how I could be sure my fiancé isn't gay. Also, for some reason they insist on saying homosexual instead of gay and on whispering it like its a bad word. I'm not looking for a perfect wedding, just one without drama. My fiancé has wonderful parents, I would hate for mine to make them feel awkward. My father has already asked me which one is the woman and which one is the man, I told him they are both men. He said he knows, but metaphorically. I said there is no metaphor they are both men. He gave up at that point. My parents asked if they will be wearing dresses, they've asked if they will kiss, they've asked a lot of random obnoxious and rude things. How can I get them to not act like this at the wedding? It is very frustrating and embarasing. I feel like I need to babysit my parents at my own wedding!

Is it wrong to be engaged to get married after you have just been together for 4 months? Me and her have been best friends for 7 years and I truly think she is the one. I have been in love with her for the 5 years of our friendship. I'm 29 and she is 22 btw
