My Fiancé and I are trying to decide on colors for the wedding. He wants to wear a navy blue suit. We're thinking gold and pink as accent colors and we don't want the groomsmen wearing blue suits as well.

We are in our early 40's, both have been married before, & just want it to be us. We are so excited to go to Florida for a week and have an intimate ceremony on the beach. We want to be able to say our vows, which we've written ourselves, in private. We aren't wanting to hurt feelings but it is happening. Also, we don't want to feel responsible for entertaining others on our trip. However, his dad and his fiancée have said they'd like to come and even though we have made it clear that this is what we want, they don't seem to hear it. My mother keeps saying how she'd love to be there and is making me feel very guilty.?I love her dearly, however, Florida is a 15 hr trip, she is 73, would be coming alone or bringing my aunt because my stepdad can't fly. Our ceremony will be all of 15 min but we will feel like we need to entertain her and that is just not what either one of us have envisioned doing during our destination wedding/honeymoon. Being an only child, I have had a difficult time establishing myself as an adult in my mother's eyes. I am not trying to be rebellious or hateful, we, as a couple, want this wedding to be for us. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm having a simple backyard wedding in August 2016. My colors are peach and mint, my dress and all the bridesmaids dresses are going to be just above knee length with cowgirl boots. My 2 maid of honors will wear peach and the rest will wear mint. Now that you have an idea of my wedding. What should the mothers and fathers wear?

I want to get married by the church. Is it crazy to do both ceremonies on the same day? Will it be too much. I need help because although it feels right, I feel like my guest will feel overwhelmed... We have booked a venue which includes a ceremony. I also want to get married by the church. Would it be too much to have BOTH ceremonies on the same day? or at all? HELP

Would it be big, small, indoors, outdoors, in a church, at a beach, in a park, ect. ? For me it would be in a church

A friend of mine in the U.S. army needed to get married so that his long-time girlfriend could stay with him in the housing provided by the army when he was stationed in another state. They proceed to spend less than $40 and get legally married by a Justice of the Peace, but now that everything has settled and he's finished his tour, they want to have the traditional ceremony. They are shelling out $600 for a wedding officiant, but is that really necessary? Since they're already legally married, can't they just have a non-ordained/legal entity like a friend or family member take up that position? I understand if it's something along the lines of wanting their marriage blessed by a religious authority, but that's not the case here, they want to throw a ceremony for friends and family to witness their affection. I also wanted to state that, sure, you could throw a party in your backyard and do something like this but they are renting a venue for the wedding. Do venues require proof of everything being "proper?"

I am very disappointed since she accepted the role like a year before the wedding. Then she just got engaged and she chose to have her wedding 2-3 weeks earlier than mine. So she said she cannot be my bridesmaid anymore. I already ordered a dress for her for $70. I do not understand any of her decision because if I were in her shoes, I would choose a different date so I can still be my friend's bridesmaid. Now I am not sure whether I want her at my wedding as a guest and whether I want to attend her wedding. So friendship? Not sure now.

How does it look like and what happens in such a ceremony
