It's going to be on a Saturday so we can't do the court house.

My fiance and I are getting married at the end of the month and we have paid for everything ourselves - we set a budget and have gone over it. With the wedding only 3 weeks away, we are doing are best to not go over it too much. Now, we are planning our rehearsal dinner and watching the price tag get bigger and bigger. There are 19 people in the wedding alone (including parents that will be attending the dinner). There would be 8 more if we invite dates. This is our dilemma with the dates: there would be a guy we have never met as a date, a girl my brother just started dating, etc. How rude is it to not invite dates since we don't really know them or are friends with them? Is it customary to have to invite everybody?

grooms mom even though she has a partner of over 10 years (they're not married but very much together)wants her son to walk her down the aisle I think her SO should escort her not her son.

I recently moved to a new state and met some new friends. My friends asked me to stand up in his wedding as he thinks we are the closest given the others in the group. While I'm honored - I'm not sure what to really give him. I have lived in town for two years and have only hung out with him a handful of times. On occasion we will cross paths at the gym and workout together. My wife and I will both be attending and I'm torn on how much to give in this situation.

My MIL is disabled and has some sort of dementia issues. I have to cut her some slack. On the other hand, her strong personality is magnified by the dementia. My in laws are mad at us because we didn't include them enough in the wedding. When they were visiting us, they didn't want to see the venue. She didn't want to meet my bridesmaids during the rehearsal and wasn't going to come. My mother pissed her off at the shower by saying she was going to help me get ready. She was mad that she wasn't invited. However, I did offer to have the photographer give her a first look in my dress and stop by to take pictures of them with the groom. The day after the wedding we had to go to the venue to pick stuff up. I was worried about her coming because I didn't want her to fall. The photographer posted preview pictures that didn't include her. (This wasn't my fault.) I felt like I did all I could. I know her behavior is magnified by dementia. However, is there something I could have done differently. We paid for the wedding ourselves. I knew they were upset before the wedding, because she said my family was taking over everything.

the warm suits and guys got to wear the light chiffon dresses ?

My husband and I got married on January 9th. The person who did our photography is a family friend who my sister used to work for as a photographer's assistant. She had previously asked him to do her wedding photos for her, and it took him over a year to get them to her. We figured the long time frame was because he had shot her wedding for free, so he had to do other work while working on her photos to make money, and so when he charged us half, we figured the time frame would be shorter to get our photos. He lives about 3½ hours from the wedding venue. Now, it is going on eight months since the wedding. Granted, we were incommunicado for most of the rest of January because we went to New Zealand for our honeymoon (and the photographer has told us he was sick that whole month), and then we had to wait to get our pictures from the disposable cameras we'd put out during the reception to send to the photographer. That took a good portion of February, and possibly part of March. I contacted him after that, asking how things were going, and he said they were going well and that there should be photos up soon. June 11th, when I asked where the photos were, he said his former assistant was supposed to have sent the new link. He had to look for the files again; if he couldn't find them, he'd have to re-edit. . . . TBC Near the end of June (the day that we moved out-of-state), he sent me a link to an iCloud album, but I couldn't access it, so I asked him to put the photos somewhere I could see them--we were moving and didn't have wifi in the new house yet, so I had to do this on Android devices. . . . I hadn't had a response until after I contacted him again on July 6th. I asked him what was going on, and he told me I should've gotten a link already. The only link I'd gotten was the one that wouldn't work on Android devices. . . . On July 6th, he those re-edited photos up and a link that we could access sent to us, and then we looked and liked what we saw (there were only about 160 photos), but had a few requests based on people we saw and did not see in the photos who we wanted to have photos of from the wedding. He said he would look, and that he'd gotten a new assistant, and that "by the end of the week (this was July 14th) I will have a prelim of the album." . . . That same day, my dad sent me photos of the wedding cake, which I guess had not been photographed by the official photographer. I sent him those photos as soon as I humanly could--within minutes of getting them from my dad--on the photographer's request, and have asked the photographer twice since then (once on August 10th and again this morning) how everything is going, without getting any answers. It is now September 3rd, and I have yet to see an album. This is getting frustrating, because his excuse for not getting my sister's photos to her for more than a year was that she was getting them free, but we were willing to pay full price and he said he would give us a 50% discount. We really thought that he would get our photos/album to us quicker than he got my sister's photos out. He lives in Pennsylvania, and we live in South Carolina, so going to his place of business isn't an option.

I am teen boy so I dont have a job or enough money but I really want to give him a gift. I wrote cousin brother O_O not cousin's brother Thanks for all the lovely ideas but can you please specify some more nice things?
