Our wedding bands are both white gold, but there is a fair amount of yellow gold in the church we are getting married in. Do you think this will clash? I'm thinking of having purple as the main color (bridesmaid dresses will be purple) and gold as an accent color since it is in the venue.

Hey guys, I have a couple questions about chastity. My boyfriend and I are both devout Catholics who would like to take a vow of chastity until we get married. Does he have to wear a purity ring after or is there something else he can wear or keep? (He tends to lose small things, like rings, easily) Also, is there a way we take this vow together? And for the people who have taken this vow and are now married, is it worth it to do this?

My grandmother is getting married the 25th of March. She got engaged they day after new years. I am trying to figure out what her colors are and I can t get an answer out of her. So what exactly should I were to this wedding? Its not exactly formal so what a cocktail dress? If you could help that would help me out tremendously that would be wonderful! Thank You:)

Also if they are not included what would be the charges?

My fiance and I are getting married at my parent B & B. We are having a very, very, intimate immediate family and very, very close friends only wedding. We've only invited 45 people. We wanted to have a small wedding, because we went through the big wedding with our deceased spouses. We wanted a wedding that is romantic, reflective, intimate, and homey. There are people in our extended families that are angry and upset that they aren't invited to our wedding. Some of them have demanded explanations. We don't feel that we have to explain our choices to anyone. This is what we wanted, and I don't think that they have the have a right to be angry with us. Most of the people in our extended families are chaotic, and filled with drama. This is something that we did not want for our wedding and reception. Personally, I wish they would just wish us well, and leave us alone about our wedding.

My fiance's brother agreed to be the best man, but after several months now says he won't pay for the tux rental ($142) and if we want him there he shouldn't have to pay a dime. He says that he just won't be in the wedding. My fiance told him he doesn't need to be there at all after everything they have done together and been through and he is being cheap. Are we asking too much? We know he can afford the cost.Is his brother being a spoiled brat? How can I help smooth this over? He is also the only one complaining about the cost. Everyone else is excited that it is not over $180, which is common around here. We want them to be uniform and before he went to get the tux fitted he checked prices with the party and he didn't say a word about it.

Let me start by saying my parents paid for the venue and everything. We paid for decorations, photographer and some little things. His parents haven't paid for anything (and we didn't need them to or want them to). They have not been involved in the wedding at all, never ask questions. So when it came around to do invitations we put my parents names and didn't include his. Well his mom got upset that we didn't include them on the invitation. Im just wondering is that so wrong? I mean even if we did have a better relationship I don't think I would include them because that's not the formal way. I know people do it now, but we are going for a more traditional wedding. I'm not going to apologize to her. She hurts my feelings all the time. I didn't intentionally hurt her, but I'm not sorry that I did. We had a son 2 years ago that passed away at birth. She does nothing to support him. Right after I had him, she asked if we had a paternity test done! Thats mean! Her daughter got married last year and she was too concerned with her wedding to ever ask about ours, therefore, she knows very little details BECAUSE SHE NEVER ASKS. Im not sorry, and do not feel bad.

Ones that don't involve toilet paper!

Hello; I am a 36 y.o male who has been engaged for 2 months now, my fiancée is a kind hearted woman, she is beautiful, but before getting engaged and meeting her, I was always in the process to find a partner, but after meeting her and getting engaged, I stopped looking for anyone, lately I started looking at other women, whether at work or street...etc, I am also comparing women I see with my fiancée, I am starting to create excuses not to go and see her, sometimes I wish she would cancel the engagement, I don't know, what is going on with me?

Any input appreciated !!

My fiance and I are getting married in a church in Cairo, Egypt this summer. We will return 2 weeks later and have a reception state side. What do I wear? I am wearing my wedding dress at the church ceremony in Egypt, do I wear my dress for the reception state side? or should I get a formal dress?

Hey!! My best friend asked me to be his best man at his wedding and I've never done this before but I wrote this and am wondering if it's any good. Good Evening everyone, For those who don't know me, my name's Jason, Luke's best friend, and I'm honored to be asked to give this toast tonight. Luke and I have been through thick and thin together and sharing this special day is just one more experience to be added. On luke's 1st date with Lisa, he called at midnight, startling me awake with the sudden phone call, saying, "I've found the one!"He seemed so excited about this date that he wasn't even making complete sentences. He was literally hyperventilating. From what I gathered from his scrambled sentences and hyperventilation, I knew he had found the one. As they dated more, I realized the striking similarities between them. Both liking the most random things possible like special addition Oreos or their love for obscure foreign jazz music. They continued their great relationship and here we are today, with Lisa and luke getting married. It is truly amazing to see and I'm sure everyone is happy for them. So Luke, I love you a lot my friend, thanks for always being there for me. I wish you much happiness in marriage. Lisa, You're unique, kind and truly hilarious and I have loved getting to know you better. You deserve to be with Luke and live with happiness forever. Nowlets give a toast to the newly weds. Congratulations!!

My parents own and operate a B & B. After me and my brothers left home, they turned their Victorian era home into a first class establishment. This is the house that I grew up in, and this is where were getting married, and having our reception. One of our invited guests made a comment that she thinks that it's tacky to get married at home. She's of the opinion we should have our wedding in a church, and our reception at an expensive venue. My parents B & B is a lovely place. It's classy, homey, and it's decorated with the utmost taste. I have ignored our invited guests comments, because she has never been to my parents B & B. I can't wait to get married in the place that I called home for the first 18 years of my life.

My great grandmother married my boyfriends grandmothers brother and they had my fathers father. Would that make us 3rd cousins? Long distance? Or what? Would we still be able to marry?

So we went on a wedding of our friend, she was the bride of the wedding. Everything was great, a wonderful day that is supposed to be the best day of your life turns into the worst nightmare of your life. After the bride and groom kissed and the church ceremony was over we all went to the party to celebrate their wedding then after few hours of dancing her father collapsed and felt hard to the ground, everybody started panicking, they yelled his name and give him heart massage they thought first he passed out but when the ambulance came and brought him to the hospital said he was already dead when he felt. That was the biggest shock ever, everybody was in shock and sad, how a wonderful day ends in the worst day, i cant even imagine how the bride, his daughter felt, that her father died so shocking. Next day was the burial and we still cant believe that it happened. So sad cause they are such a nice family they dont deserve such a tragedy. After that the bride and groom divorced immidiateley cause they thought that was a curse and that they werent ment to be together. Why oh why did this happened? What do you guys think? Was it a curse or just a coincidence? It still breaks my heart for my friend cause we love them like a family <3

You're probably sitting there thinking that I must be a lunatic for saying that I have three fathers. Well I do have three of them, and I love them all. Here's the history behind it all. My mom and my dad were married from 1969 to 1974. They divorced very amicably. My dad has ALWAYS been a very active part of my life growing up. Then my mom married my stepdad (Pap) in 1977. Pap has been a wonderful father to me, my older father and my younger siblings (the ones he had with my mom). And then there's my dad's awesome life partner (same sex) of 35 years, and I've always called him Bud. Bud has always played a very supportive fatherly role in my life. I want to honor them at my wedding. I'm just not sure how. I know that having 3 father/daughter dances would be extremely awkward. I love them all very much, and this is something that is very important to me. I'm really not the type to give mushy speeches either. What would you do?

I also do the guest book and my husband passes out the bubbles. I want to do something special but not expensive.

We would be together for a year around the time he'd propose, and we would be 22 or 23 by the time we actually got married (after planning the wedding). I'm not having any doubts at all about our relationship but everyone always says we are too young. I really don't feel like we are, but i don't want the family to be pissed at us for not waiting. What do you think? It isn't that I'm "afraid" of what my parents will say. I had a lot of problems with my parents growing up, and I'm still in therapy for the issues they've caused. No, I don't live with them anymore. I just absolutely hate hearing negativity spew from their mouths every time I talk to them and am doing my best to ignore them. Also, marital therapy is a great idea. I've thought about that before and will definitely run the idea by him; thanks. We'll probably end up getting married closer to 25. Thanks for the answers so far. @MessyKat: I wanted to clarify that after reading everyone's answers, my update was meant to let everyone know that I am more comfortable waiting until after we've got our degrees, careers, are living together, etc. Meaning, we would most likely be engaged around 24, and married around 25 (or something like that). I didn't mean that we'd be engaged for 3-4 years, heck no, I definitely understand what an engagement is. Lol. I have faith in "us" and I'm not trying to rush anything. I was just looking for opinions. :) I know that if we are meant to be we will still be together in 5 years. So, I'm not trying to move into anything too fast.

I have been invited to a wedding, and I've decided to decline the invitation. The wedding is taking place on the east coast, and I live on the west coast. I'm very close to this person in real life, but I don't have the time to go. Would it be rude to decline the invitation, and send them a gift card instead? @ myfavoritelucy, I'm in a very intensive 24 month Family Nurse Practitioner program. The wedding is taking place during my clinical rotations. I can't take any time off unless it's an emergency or a death has occurred.

My wife recently told me that her mother once used to tell her and her sisters that if a guy pays for the engagement ring in cash that it means more than if they used a credit card to buy it. She said it proved that they were serious and committed. I didn't know this at the time but my wife was so happy that I paid for hers in cash and she is proud to tell her friends when they ask her. She also told me her mom thinks the world of me because of it (and other reasons of course). I had no idea it meant so much...does it to most women or is it just them? Apparently I wasn't clear enough for lil Miss sunshine down below. I'm not talking about paying for it with a debit card or cash. I'm talking about paying for it with money the guy saved (either in cash or with a debit card) vs using a credit card or paying for it on credit from the jewelry store.
