My gf & I have been together for 4 years. MIL is a major b*tch. I know I shouldn't say that, but she's goign too far. Anyway, I feel bad having my family pay for the wedding, so her mom is paying for it. We had the perfect venue, but she changed it entirely. She even changed the catering behind our back. We were going to have a complete buffet with all sorts of food, she changed it to seafood. Nothing wrong with seafood, except the fact that I'm allergic to most seafood. My gf has stood up to her, but her mom guilt trips her. I think my gf falls for it because he mom always treated her like crap and her mom favors her sisters. Her mom went way too far though. my gf went wedding dress shopping months ago (no I haven't seen it, I want to be surprised) and she talked about how she found the perfect one and how it was the last one and she was so lucky to get it. Her mom, paying for it, obviously hated it. So today was my gf's fitting, and I got a call from her in TEARS to pick her up. Her mom bought the dress SHE wanted and completely disregarded what my gf wanted. My family is more than willing to pay and will remain financially stable when done paying for it. We told her mom about how we felt, and she has been threatening us and still trying to change our wedding. Help?

A ruby ring for 300 pounds, really John? don't trick me being able to trust you is more important than anything. I don't want a fcuking expensive ring... We can b uy stuff i like for that like s e x toys and food... Really John, I don't want to wear a ruby coz other people will judge me if I don't... I don't care about that... I just want you, and I want a lot of stuff. but a ruby ring is really not one of them...

I have a very nice outfit, (my best) that just happens to be the same color.

From whatever I have seen till date, it's always the man that has to spend his months salary (stupid dolt) on his fiances ring, but never the opposite. Does that mean women don't spend their monthly salary on his ring? Talk about living in a sexist society

Wedding 1- it's a work acquaintance and I don't really know any of the other guests, I've met 2-3 of them for a very brief period of time. I see the bride frequently because of work situations but we don't hang out on a personal level. I've known about her wedding for over a year and did not realize the conflict until a few months ago. I would rather go to the other wedding but I feel bad since I have known about hers much longer. Wedding 2- it is an old friend who I've recently reconnected with so I was (pleasantly) surprised to be invited to her wedding. I will know a ton of other guests and would definitely feel more comfortable and have more fun. Her wedding is also much more casual, no sit down dinner. Of course both weddings start at the same time so my thought was to attend the ceremony and cocktail hour for wedding #1 and then go to wedding #2 for dancing and dessert. Is it rude to not commit to one wedding the whole time? I'm not married so curious how a bride would feel if I could only attend half of her wedding. *UPDATE* Thanks all for the advice so far, it's been helpful! I should have noted two things: 1- both weddings are ceremonies at the reception sites so it'll be a 20-30 minute wedding ceremony immediately followed by a cocktail hour. No break in time or venues 2- I would be upfront with both brides if I split my time & wouldn't try sneaking out and in of the weddings. I would never want both brides to pay for me as a guest assuming I would be spending the whole time at their wedding.

In Oct. 2015, my fiance proposed. We set our date to be October 20, 2017. One day, my MOH texts me and asks when our date is set for, which she should have know. So, I told her and she says, " oh wow we were thinking the same month, same year". So, right there I knew there was a problem. After talking, she asked, "how do you feel about having our weddings so close to each other?" I bit my tongue out of respect and told her it just wasn't a good idea because of all the planning and occasions, it just won't work and her being my maid of honor, she doesn't realize that she won't be able to help me as much as I want her to because of her own wedding. After thinking about it, I told her that I officially changed the date fore the following year and she got really pissed off. Idk why she did because it's my choice. I posted on Facebook to let everyone know, so I didn't have to expose the issue I had with my maid of honor and now everyone knows. Easier than telling everyone , one by one. So once I did that, she texted me AGAIN.. here we go again... She said that I was causing drama, I'm being emotional, ridiculous, there's no big deal about her being maid of honor and having her wedding right before mine. I really had no intentions to fight with anyone but I guess maybe its jealousy. So then she told me that its best to find a different maid of honor. Am I wrong??

So last October I was engaged, 2015. My fiancé and I decided our wedding date would be set for October 20, 2017. My maid of honor, which is my fiancés aunt, just got engaged and wanted to plan her wedding for the same time as mine. I told her how I felt and that I thought it wasn t a good idea. She then decided that she would set hers a month before mine. After talking it out, I got over it and said okay, I m going to reset mine for the following year so that they don t interfere. Now she thinks I m trying to cause drama, when really , I never intended for any of this. I had my date set and changed it for her! I need opinions on this.

This is my dilemma. I'm 17 and haven't lived with my dad in a couple of years. Currently I'm living with my maternal grandparents less than an hour away from him. He and I have been close in the past, but our relationship tends to be rocky at best. I've only met his fiancée a handful of times, but that's not a relationship I've ever really paid much attention to because I'm not living with them. I was already planning on going to the wedding when I found out my dad and his fiancée were planning to use me as a babysitter for her 3 and 5 year old all day. I'm normally really good with kids and I do spend a lot of time with my friends siblings, etc. But I wasn't supposed to find out until the day. Added to that, the 3 year old has developmental issues and would require even more attention. My dads response was basically, well, you're going to be their big sister so you should jump right in. I've never met these kids before! I then got an email from his fiancée who told me they would consider it my wedding gift to them and I wouldn't have to bring anything else with me. My grandparents are letting me decide for myself. My other set of grandparents have said not to go because I wouldn't have any fun (they've babysat for them in the past). I'm leaning more toward not going, but wanted some opinions. That's the thing, if I turn up, I will definitely end up with both kids. This is why I'm leaning toward not going. Thank you for the responses so far!

My daughter is 19 and her fiancé is 26. They had been dating for eight months before he popped the question. Now, if this was in different circumstances, I'd feel different. He is a lovely kind man, comes from a great family, and is financially stable (he's very well off, in fact). I just want my daughter to keep her options open. She's already making wedding plans and plans to get married this November. I feel it's all too soon. Marriage is a big commitment. I think she needs to wait till she's older, has dated around more, experienced life... Should I share how I feel with her? Or just stay out?

Have you ever been to American wedding? Where is the vodka, where is marinated herring? Where is the musicians that got the taste? Where's the supply that's gonna last three days? Where's the band that like fanfare? Gonna keep it going 24 hour Instead it's 1 in the morning and DJ's patching up the chords Everybody's full of cake, staring at the floor Proper couples start to mumble that it's time to go People gotta get up early and they gotta go Ah, people gotta get up early and she's got a boyfriend And this whole ******* thing is one huge disappointment And nothing gets these bitches going, not even gypsy kings Nobody talks about my super theory of super everything So be Donald Trump or be an anarchist Make sure that your wedding doesn't end up like this I understand the cultures of a different kind But here word celebration just doesn't come to mind!!

My fiancé and I are having a Nightmare before Christmas wedding. We decided to dress up as Jack and Sally, but we're having trouble on what the bridesmaids should wear does anyone have any ideas?

I want to locate a jeweler in my area who will replace the stone in front of me.

I'm a woman getting married to another woman. I'm from a rural Midwestern town. We're getting married where my fiancée met and where we live now (Minneapolis). This is five hours from my hometown. I'm 29 and have kept in touch with six female friends from grades school. I'm the sixth out of our group of seven to get married. Four of weddings invited all the parents of each friend from the close group of seven. I'm having problems with the guest list as it is. My family is pretty religious and Conservative and some are not very happy that I'm a lesbian. Do I invite them anyway? I'm not really expecting some of my extended family members to attend since they don't support my relationship. Which is fine and I respect their beliefs. Do I invite my circle of friends' parents too? My own parents were invited to four of my friend's weddings. But I also haven't seen any of the families in three years (the last wedding). I wasn't out three years ago so I don't know if they support LGBT people or not. I don't want to leave people out yet I don't want to offend them. I get it that not everyone approves of this type of marriage. Thanks for your advice.
