OK, So my wife and I are getting married in January and need to make a menu. We want it to be MODERN...so please be creative. Can you please give me an idea for an appetizer an entree a side a drink and a dessert. (remember i want it modern!) So please give me a sample menu because my husband and I are going to read this over tomorrow when making our menu. Thank you "K" for pointing out that were not husband and wife yet. We are, we got married at the courthouse but we are having a wedding party in January.

I hate diamonds. Am I the only one? I just think they're ugly, and overused, and tacky, and just no. I would much rather be proposed to with a sapphire engagement ring. Anyone else in the same boat with me?

I'm getting married this month. Months and months ago, I asked my parents, who are divorced, if they would be okay to have a photo taken of the three of us with me in the middle of them. Both said yes. Last night, I got a call from my dad who told me his wife of 10 years had told him she wasn't comfortable with him and my mom being in a photo together and she wanted him to say he'd changed his mind. He told me she'd prefer to have a photo with me between the two of them taken. Today I got an email from her requesting that I go with her and my dad to her parents house to get photos taken with them because she's already offended they weren't invited. She also wants a few photos of just the two of us taken. So some bask story on us is she married my dad when I was 12. I wasn't there, but I was supposed to be, because I was hospitalized two days before the wedding. She believes I'm angry they didn't postpone the wedding for me and that's why I'm not inviting her family. The truth is, neither she or they have ever shown an interest in me. The only time she's cared about what was going on with me was when I graduated and she forced her way into a family photo and made a show of herself by glaring at my mom, despite the photographer taking several and giving her the chance to stop and get a decent photo. What should I do when it comes to the wedding photos? Should I get my parents to pose for a photo with me on the day anyway?

My best friend is getting married soon and she is getting married to this great guy she met on a religious online dating site. I am going to visit her this weekend because she wants to discuss the wedding plans. I just don't care about the wedding that much. I feel happy for her but I feel bad that I am going to be single there. I don't have a boyfriend at the moment and wish I did. All the guys I've dated have been flops. I am a 23-year-old female and I feel like no guy wants to be with me. I have a good personality and I am pretty/attractive as people have told me. Part of me doesn't want to go to the wedding because it'll make me feel worse that I have no guy to be with and also because my friend is getting married before me. My mom said I sounded hesitant about going and she told me I could just go to the wedding, that I didn't have to go to the reception. I feel like not going but I want to be congratulatory. Is it bad that I don't really care though?
