Bear with me... The back story is that my sister and her fiance got engaged in June and were planning a Fall, 2016 wedding. The plan has now changed entirely. I understand it's not my wedding and she is free to do whatever she wants, but I am mainly venting and wishing my sister "ran it by me" before announcing she was set to marry on the same day as my husband and I did years ago. This is beside the point, but she just announced this will be happening November 14, and said "I know you and (my husband) had vacation plans for your anniversary so I hope you're not mad I picked this date and that I am asking you to skip the trip so you can be my attendant" So what shall I do, bite my tongue? Or encourage her to choose another weekend? This is going to be an immediate family wedding (9 people total, due to the groom's anxiety over crowds) at a chapel with the groom's uncle who is a Deacon, performing. Why the sudden rush? She took a new job and wants to add him to her health insurance plan so he can get sinus surgery. (No comment).

So I've picked out the perfect ring and I'm still deciding where to "pop the question" and what exactly to say. There's so much I want to say about us, how I've been crazy about her since high school (when we first met), how I love watching her sleep in on weekends, how I even love the sound of her voice. I mean it's things I've said countless times before but I still feel strongly about, but should I just keep it short and just ask? The proposal itself has been a long time coming, we've been together three years and I moved across the country with her for her job so it's not going to be a huge suprise, but I want this to be perfect. So should I keep it short?

Something crazy?

Hi Ladies! I'm a MOH and planning my best friends Bachelorette party. I DID run budgets by all the bridesmaids, which most were comfortable spending no more than $200 But i was curious for others opionions since there will be other guests as well. What is the MAX amount youd feel comfortable spending while attending a bach party?

My dad died while my mom was pregnant with me. My mom brought me up knowing all about him, though, and I've always called him my dad and I have a very deep love for him. She remarried when I was 8 and while my stepfather is a nice man, he never took on a parenting role in my life. He was always my mom's husband and that was the role both of them wanted for him, and me, if I'm honest. Despite never getting to meet my dad, I've always felt protective of him. My stepfathers family have been in and out of my life. They didn't like my father/daughter relationship with him and despised visiting our house because we had a few pictures of my dad up. These people are already complaining that my stepfather has chosen not to be in any of the family photos (possibly my mom asked him to, I'm not sure, but he requested it). The question is, though, do I still have to invite them? I'm talking about his parents, siblings and nieces/nephews, etc. We're paying for the wedding ourselves.

My boyfriend invited me to a wedding on New Years Eve. The venue is far but I thought it would nice since we'd be together. Now his friend wants him be the DJ at the wedding. For the reception part he said they're going to use a playlist, when the dancing actually starts is when he's going to DJ. Which means I'll be hanging out by myself for the rest of the evening. I don't him I don't want to go if I'm going to be hanging out by myself. He said he really wants me meet his friends though. Would it be rude if I left early when my boyfriend starts to DJ? Btw... I won't know anyone at this wedding. It will be my first time meeting these people.

I'm asking because my siser got married 3 times and my brother 4 times and I never got to be a bridesmaid.

I already know what i want for my centerpieces, table cloth and anything for on the table. I'm having trouble thinking of what else needs to be decorated (other than chairs) like do i really need much more? i don't want to over-do the decorations because i have a budget but i also want my color theme to be noticed and i feel like the tables aren't enough. Also if you could provide some good websites for reception decorations (for a low budget but classy) or ideas for what to do with the chairs etc feel free!! i need all the help i can get.

We have been searching for a while and we can not find a nice cheap wedding venue that is around $3,000. Does any one know of any newer wedding venues that just started up or anything that would fit this price range? We would like to have it on a saturday late next year with about 150 peaple attending. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!
