I am going to ask for my girlfriend's father's blessing before I propose to her because is seems traditional and I know both she and her father will appreciate it. I am positive that her father will give me "permission" but what kind of things will he say/ask when we talk?

I'm just wondering because I know that muslim families are very keen to whom their Sons marry....

Our problems with the table placement is quite complex. My fiance (male) has two sons (3y and 7y), a fantastic mother and an alcoholized father who doesn't make for a good conversation. I've got my mother and step father, and my father isn't going to be invited. Traditionally my mother should be placed with his father, but we agree that we don't want them near each other. We don't know if his children should be next to him, next to both of us or if they should be seated further away. Would it be acceptable to place our parents next to their spouses? And where does one place the children?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aS_wwC8P12I The father of the girl asks the boy's parents if the boy can cook in the house and the parents replied that he can sometimes only cook noodles where the father replies that she can't send her daughter to a house where she is only fed noodles. The boy then goes on to tell the father of the girl to give him 10 days to cook a meal and then he can come over and see if he (The boy) is capable of marrying his (The father's) daughter. Is this advertisement changing the concept of arranged marriage to give it a better image?

i love 1d and im jw what in ur opinon are some good songs to be played at a wedding

My fiance and I are planning to get married next summer however we can not afford to rent a place of our own straight after we get married. My fiance has a big family home and my in laws are welcoming us to stay there until we can get on our feet. However I do not see eye to eye with his little sister who also lives there (she's a 17 year old typical bratty teenager). We are now in a dilemma whether to delay the wedding until we can afford to also move out or stay with his family until we can move out. Bearing in mind we are in a long distance relationship (Scotland-England) which means we don't often see each other and delaying the wedding could put additional stress on the relationship. Thank you peopleeee xx **Update** I have just finished my degree and have a job starting as of August which pays decent, he works full time, just above NMW.

My "dad" married my mom when I was 3. He raised me as his own and treated me the very same way he treated my siblings, who are his biological children with my mom. When I was 15, however, he and my mom divorced. Once he moved out of our home, he no longer wanted anything to do with me. I remember him coming to take my siblings for the weekend or for a few hours and he would ignore me and tell me he didn't want to keep pretending I was his daughter. Now I'm 19 and I've been informed he's getting married again. For the first time in years he's spoken to me. He called to say he wanted all "his kids" at the wedding, including me. My siblings want me to go. They've said it won't be as fun if I'm not there, especially since his fiancée's kids are younger and will be hanging around them and they want to be able to hang out with me instead. He even came last night and gave me an early invitation and said I could bring a date if I wanted to and that it would mean soooooo much if I could be there. Part of me wants to go for my siblings, so they won't be miserable. But I don't want to see him or his family. I promised myself after the last time I saw them, shortly after the divorce, that I would never put myself in that position again. Being rejected by everyone hurts more than I can say. Especially after 12 years of them being my family. I've always remained close to my siblings. I honestly believe this is just because he wants to play the perfect dad. Many people know about me but don't know he rejected me repeatedly after he and my mom divorced. I'm very suspect since he's only showing an interest now that he's planning a wedding. I want to point out something else. My mom never tried to stop him from having a relationship with me. She would always say he was welcome to take me with them after the first time, when she realized she was wrong to expect him to take me anyway. There were also times he would pick them up once I became a legal adult and he still didn't care to make any sort of contact. It broke my heart, but I'm starting to get over it, finally.

I'm currently engaged to my wonderful fiance. We've been together 6 1/2 years and have found a date for the wedding that we'd love to book. However, my sister sent me an email out of the blue yesterday, because she knew we were hoping for a June/July wedding, to say we would have to choose different months because her stepkids, whom I've never met and probably won't be meeting any time soon, won't be around then as they will be with their mom. She then went on to say that it would be incredibly hurtful if my niece and nephew, who are much older and actually live with my fiance and I currently because of issues regarding my sisters husband and his ex and his kids, were there and not the stepkids. I asked her outright in the email if there was a strong chance they'd RSVP yes for the two of them plus the four kids and the mom would say no or the kids would refuse to come. She told me it was a strong possibility, but it would make them feel wanted, loved and included. So basically, she wants us to spend money on 4 kids who might not even be able to come. And then she wants them included in the wedding, like my niece and nephew will be. I would have no problem including the kids if I saw them and I knew for certain things would go okay. But my sister has put herself into a volatile situation and she expects the whole family to make sacrifices. This isn't what I want to do. My fiancé told me after seeing the emails that he's okay with choosing a different date, if I want to. There's also a risk of them being at the wedding and their mom turning up and causing a scene by taking the kids with her. This happened when they attended a friends wedding last year. I do not want this happening at mine.

My sis was moh at my wedding and now she is getting married she has asked me to be witness I am very happy about that but she has asked her best friend )and the grooms sis to be bridesmaid. I feel quite hurt the grooms sister has asked to be bridesmaid and not her own sister. I thought we was really close and I feel quite hurt, I'm not going to say anything cuz I don't want to now be asked out of guilt!! But do I have a right to feel hurt?
