We are planning a wedding that we are paying for mostly ourselves (at this point, his stepmom says they can pay for invitations - which I would rather just print myself). His mother passed away and at this point, his step mom is the person I am having the most trouble with. I am happy she wants to help and be a part of it, but she is trying to take over the things that my best friend (maid of honor) is supposed to do. She is trying to plan the bridal party and I want my maid of honor to do that. Yes, maybe my mom and his step mom can help her. But I am having trouble with how to go about it and what jobs I can give people so that they will feel happy and important. What should I do?

One of my younger cousins (20) is getting married and he had announced that he's getting married in the summer. He also advised our family members to start saving so we could pay for the wedding. Except, doesn't the bride's family pay for the wedding?

I've tried rings that r too big, too tight, and I have one that's PERFECT but I keep getting this same red blister! How to I make it stop but still wear my engagement ring? It's titanium cause I'm allergic to most others

Growing up I've always dreamed of my "perfect" wedding. I was blind to what was behind the "traditions" my whole life. Alright, so first you have the father walking the daughter down the isle. Sweet until you know the reasoning behind it. The father is considered the "owner" of the daughter, and so he's the one who needs to pass the "ownership" to the husband. Sexist, right? Why doesn't that happen with both the bride and groom? Secondly, the candles and "becoming one." You are two individual people who decided to commit to each other! You don't become "one!" You are two individuals... you don't become "one flesh" or whatever. Thirdly, most of the "traditions" are just that... traditions. They mean nothing unless you have some personal connection to them for whatever reason. Does anyone else feel this way? Because it seems like no one is willing to break the traditions of a wedding... it's the same thing over and over again... just at different places with different people. Personally, I don't see the point in having a wedding. You could save the money for a nicer honeymoon, heck... or even a house! Anyone else feel me? Because I feel alone here.

She's one of my brides maid, and I asked her kindly to wait until after my wedding to dye her hair, and she agreed. Yesterday we got into an argument and she dyed her hair lime green, purple bangs and dark red steaks. Her roommate told me that she did to to spite me and I called my friend and told her she's not allowed to partake in my bridal party because she lied to me, pulled a childish stunt and tried to screw up my wedding. It's a very elegant wedding, all the brides maids have brown hair, and my friend Jo had the most beatiful of them all and I was hoping that all the bridesmaids and I can get our hair done professionally, but Jo had to dye it and cut it off to A pixie that I would still let her walk down the isle. Did it do the right thing by kicking her out? The issue for me is, she did that to bother me. I think bold colors like that take away the attention and I want to be the center of attention on my wedding day. Dyed her hair purple* sorry

Can a man survive and thrive without marriage? Q2- Are sexual and romantic relationships a necessity?
