My friends grandma bought me a wedding dress, a few brides maids dressed and some other wedding stuff under no condition or signed anything saying I need to pay them back. After me and the girl stopped being friends, she requested all the stuff be given back plus the money. Legally do I have to give the dresses back?

I wouldn't care if my boyfriend proposed with a cheap ring. It's not like I'll wear the engagement ring after the wedding anyway.

I found out by stumbling onto his order history. We both aren't tight on money or anything. Honestly, the only reason this question exists is because my mom insisted I am worth way more than 25 dollars, and that the average cost is above the thousands.

I've been in a very happy, deeply committed, and loving relationship with my boyfriend for 19 years. We have 5 kids together as well. Not to long ago, he started pressuring me to get married, but I won't marry him. I was married before, and that marriage ruined me financially for many years after my divorce was final. I told him from the very beginning that I have no intentions of ever getting married again. My boyfriend says that after 19 years, he's done everything that prove that he's not like like my ex-husband. He's not like my ex-husband, but I'm not willing to to get married again. I love my boyfriend, and I love our life together as it is. To me it's NOT worth having a piece of paper to legally bind us together. My boyfriend has given me an ultimatum. If I don't married him by our 20th anniversary, than he's going to move out and move on with his life. I've already told him how I feel about marriage, and if he chooses to leave the relationship, than that is on him. It would hurt me deeply if he left, but I'm not willing to make that kind commitment to anyone ever again.

I am very close to my brother, but I do not think he is the best choice for best man in my wedding because of all the social responsibilities required. He can be a little awkward. I can't imagine him giving a speech, making toasts, and greeting people. I do however have a good friend that I think would be great. Is it appropriate to not choose my brother as my best man? And how do I deliver the news if I choose my friend over him? Thanks

I have a question. I am getting married soon and I am excited, however, my mother is being really pushy and it s been upsetting me that she s being selfish and having everything the way she wants it instead of what I want. And she keeps throwing the fact that she s paying for it in my face. I didn t ask her to but I didn t want to leave her out of it because she s my mom. Well we finally had a big fight where she called me selfish and long story short, I m close to calling it off. But I don t want that money to go to waste or be that person. But I want this day to be about me and my fiance not her so I ve been thinking about eloping before the wedding and not telling anyone and then doing the wedding. That way the elope is about me and him and the wedding can be whatever she wants it to be.

My BF and I are 4 years together and having the marriage convo. I love him so much and am very lucky to have him; he is my best friend & he treats me so well! At our friend's wedding I joked we should go shop for rings…but he admitted to already having one! I was so happy he would propose with what he said was a family heirloom ring...I can't wait to marry him and he's so excited about proposing! I'd be happy with no ring as long as I have him, so finding out there was family connection made me so thankful to him & his family. But I found out this is not an heirloom but a dress ring from his mother's first marriage to someone who is NOT related to my BF or ever met him. I feel so selfish but don't think I could wear it all my life, symbolising his mother's past failed relationship. He says it's expensive and pretty with lots of gems but I don't need anything fancy at all and it feels like it was special for HER and doesn't really show a family connection or our love. I wouldn't be comfortable wearing it around his parents if it's from her past divorce. It feels wrong to start our life together with something from someone else's failed love. I don't know how to talk to him…I mentioned it but he got angry and I don't want to hurt his feelings more, but don't think I could wear it forever without thinking about it. It almost makes me cry…I would rather no ring or could pay for a new ring myself to symbolise our own love, rather than someone else's! Please help…I'm so lost! Thank you all for the answers so far. I do not mean to whine & I love him so much. We both work very hard (teachers) and have saved together for our house and believe it or not do have second hand furniture and cars... To be clear this is not a ring from BFs father to his mom, this has been kept away as his father didn't want to see his wife/BFs mom wear it, but he'll see me with it all the time... Its emeralds with a sapphire so changing the setting or a cleansing ritual could be a good option!

I haven't seen him in two years. One day he called us into the living room after school while my mom was at work and told us she was sick and he was leaving. He packed up his stuff and left, leaving me and my brother to tell her what had happened. She was devastated but fought because she knew we needed her. Sadly, she died five months ago. Various family members informed him about her passing. He didn't show up at the funeral, but two weeks later he called to say he was with someone. A second call came two weeks ago and he told me he was engaged and to expect an invitation. It came the other day, inviting my brother and me. I'm not sure what to think of it, but I'm angry. Very angry. My brother and I declined, but now we have relatives calling and saying we should be there, he's still our father, etc, etc, it was hard for him when our mom got sick... Basically everything they can to make him look better. In my head and heart, I know I don't want to go and won't regret not going. But the interference has me doubting myself a little.
