My boyfriend and I have been together for over a decade and are content remaining unmarried, but we want to buy a house and I'd like to put him on my health insurance plan, so we are thinking about getting married. We just don't want to tell anyone, because we don't want the attention. Can we get married and keep it secret? The catch is this: We currently have 4 room mates, and some of my mail goes to my mom's address. Could our mail possibly give us away??

Please choose some cheap stuff... I can't afford a lot, and please make sure that the dress can be wore on casual days:) http://www.oasap.com/content/965-outshine-the-bride-20151017

I'm the youngest of divorced parents. My mom never remarried, and my dad has been remarried for about 37 years. My stepmother and I have never liked each other. I made the mistake of sharing my wedding plans with my dad, and he shared them with his wife. Now my stepmother can't keep her nose out of my wedding plans. I've very politely asked her to stop giving me her advice, but she feels it's her place do so. I don't want to be mean, and snarl at her, but she's putting her nose into places that it doesn't belong. Why won't she stop?

i liked a girl while i was in university and even told her but she didnt say either yes or no and used to give me mixed signals etc. so i took it as a no and moved on. eventually she got married but as it turned out her husband was a wife beater and a drunk and it did not work out between them. their marriage lasted for 5 months and she got a divorce. now recently we have started talking with each other and she wants me to consider marrying her. do you think its a good idea? please keep in mind that there is also a cultural difference between us plus she is divorced. any suggestions?

i signed a marriage application with a clerk and a witness and now i dont want to go through with the ceremony next week... im not officially married am i? i just want them to not go through with this application.. its been 24 hours since i applied.. help

I am having a wedding next year. My fiancee's older sister just got engaged and she decided she wants to have hers 2 months later!! Is that selfish on her part? Is she not trying to overshawdow my wedding??

Why do you hear people talk about how it kills the father to have his daughter marry? Why would it affect the father more than when his son marries someone?

And for Dinner only close family no friends. I know it may be rude but nobody said it was rude for Kate Middleton to do !

But I don't want her to FEEL like a replacement. Any tips on how to ask her without making her feel like she is replacing our friend and being a last choice ?

I can't get passed this thinking. I know there is a lot more to marriage than a wedding and a honeymoon, but for some reason I just can't see past to those things. I have no clue why. I keep telling myself all that marriage means and takes, but I still view it like I did when I was a pre-teen. I know I'm not ready for marriage, but i feel as if I never will be. Why do I have this mind-set? How do I get past this mind-set? A wedding and a honeymoon mean everything to me. Without them, I see no point in marriage. How can you not value them?

I'm in a really hard spot. My mother (and her husband) gets belligerently drunk whenever possible especially at parties and special occasions. She also loves to embarrass me and I'm really worried she will make a scene at my wedding. I'm seriously considering not inviting my own mother to my wedding. We have a strained relationship as it is and she is very unpredictable and mean spirited. My half sister who would be one of my bridesmaids, I'm also considering whether or not I should invite her for similar reasons and the fact that her and my dad absolutely do not get along - so much in fact, that my dad literally told me he wouldn't come to my wedding if she was there. I don't know what to do. My dad is absolutely coming even if I have to drag him down the aisle myself. But since I'm not close to my step sister (we haven't spoken in years) and since I have a strained relationship with my alcoholic mom, should I just not invite them? Or should I invite everyone and keep my fingers crossed that it all goes well?
