My boyfriend and I are very in love. We want to elope when I turn 18 because he wants to get married to me as soon as possible, and I feel the same for him. However, I want to have an actual ceremony but 18 year olds don t have their dream wedding in their budget. I read a lot about this, and people said that eloping and having an actual ceremony afterwards was a big no no. So, I m wondering if eloping and then renewing our vows and having and actual reception when we were older (probably when I m 22 or 23) was dumb. I just don t want our families to miss out on one of the biggest days of our lives, but then again, I want to have my dream wedding. AND ALSO, I want to be married to this man as soon as possible

So my oldest sister is getting married in October. I already know that my second oldest sister is her maid of honor, which is completely fine, but I haven't even been asked to be a bridesmaid. I'm 16 and all us sisters are half, meaning we only share the same mother (we are also the only sisters amongst our siblings) I feel upset because I feel as though since I didn't grow up in the same state as they did and because I'm not fully white, it feels as though my oldest sister doesn't care as much for me as my other sister who does look a lot more related to her than I do. I just feel like my sister left me out because she doesn't love me as much as the other women she picked as her bridesmaids

Have 4 good Friends with alot of history. My buddy is getting married. We were groomsmen for our mutual buddy. He was a groomsmen in mine. However this is getting ridiculous. Not knocking anyone's financial status. The Bride is from poor white trash. My buddy is 26 lives in grandma's basement. 2 new trucks 4 other "projects" in the driveway. This is a firewall wedding! The dresses for the bridesmaids are Camo....only 1 print is allowed $325.00 for my wife + $90.00 cheapest boots. My best 1 Camo option is $127.00 My feet are wide. So custom width cowboy boots $225.00 Then my 1 year old flower girl who can't really walk yet. The cammo dress is $105.00 and cowgirl boots are $20.00. Firehall wedding 2 miles from a asphalt plant which gives you a headache driving past. Plus they seen my daughter 2x since she was born......think this is a little rude. We all disgust the prices and she throws a tantrum about its her wedding. Worst part is they live in METRO Pittsburgh in a planned neighborhood. They also do NOT HUNT! Or am I just being cheap. Spending this much on 3 hrs is a bit nuts and really knocks out the annual beach fund. Seriously jeopardising our summer vacation. Any advice?? Thanks

I'm 43 and my fiance is 39. I was married 20 years ago and have been divorced for 8 years. He's never been married. I had a traditional big church wedding the first time. We don't know what kind of wedding we should plan. He doesn't want a huge fancy wedding, but he'd like his friends and family there (guest list we made was 80ish - big family). My friends have told me they'd feel silly having a wedding that big for a second wedding at my age. I don't know what to do. Should my fiance have to have a courthouse wedding because it's my second? I know I shouldn't worry what people think, but if it's the overwhelming opinion that a medium size wedding with fun reception (food, alcohol and music) is inappropriate for my age and second wedding then I don't want to do it. My fiance already has groomsmen and our first dance song picked out.

Just trying to choose tje right color for a second marriage
