Engaged couples.. if you were meeting up with a wedding photographer to discuss about their services (after you see their work and like it, then contact via email to setup a place to meet) and you see them with a cochlear implant and a hearing aid in the other ear... how would you feel about hiring them to be your main wedding photographer? (I'm talking about +$2,000 pricing from this photographer) Would you feel uncomfortable booking with them? Do you turn down on the photographer and look somewhere else for a different photographer? Second thoughts? Please be honest. note: they can't talk on the phone or answer calls because they need to lip read.

So me and my fiancé have been together for over 10 years. Since HS. We got engaged about 3 yrs ago and decided to finally tie the knot in a courthouse ceremony. Just me and him. We decided to keep it very intimate and private we had a dinner after the ceremony with just my parents and his. Some people knew we were getting married some didn't find out until after the day. Me and my now husband are a little upset on the response we got back from people. We didn't expect a monetary gift but we are bummed that close friends and family members were not thoughtful enough to even send a card congratulating us, or even a picture frame as a gift. I also have a cousin who was blunt enough to tell me for her wedding to make sure I put $100 from both me and my guest in a card for her wedding. I was shocked she would make such a joke/comment to me that she meant. She was one of the people who didn't even send a card to congratulate us. AGAIN! It is not about money but why do people only gift in exchange for food? Why couldn't someone be thoughtful enough to send a bottle of wine, a card, or a personalized meaningful gift such as a picture from or something of that nature, or even host a dinner for us?? IS it because we had a court house wedding we aren't worthy of a small gesture? We are really hurt by this and feel like people don't really care about us or our union. Am I wrong to feel like this? I am really angry and hurt.

Had been years since I've performed a marriage for anyone. I've renewed bowls once when I was younger and married a couple once. Is there the readings I can print out and one last thing the certificates of ceremony I can purchase. I was really young when I went through the course of training in all this. Can someone with experience please help.

At the end of the week I am suppose to be in a wedding. A previous week I told her I can't afford to pay for makeup to be done. I suggested doing my own since I own a lot of makeup and makeup brushes. She didn't go for it but it didn't stop there, we didn't resolve the problem till a week later. She said she would pay for it but how are conversation went left me feeling bad, and upset reasons below. 1) I feel the bride is trying to control my money and me. I don't have a job and she is aware of my money problems. She is telling me what to do in every aspect to returning things, to who to travel with even though she is aware of my travel plans and implying my mom should pay for it. I already had traveling plans with my budget in mind with other party members (8 hours of travel). 2) In our conversation I feel like she mixed her frustrations with the other party members that she took out on me. I understand a bride ranting about frustrations but not in a way that the anger is being directed towards our problem. 3) I feel like the bride is throwing things in my face even though she said she was fine with it. 4) I feel like the time and money spent getting ready for the wedding and for attending wedding related things and the bachelorette party was taken for granted. She expressed unhappiness about that again in our conversation. So what do you think back out or stay in? There are other reasons that add to this but these are the ones that hit my limits.
