When my mom passed away last year, I was too ill and heartsick to properly plan a memorial service for her. Now that I'm feeling better, I have planned a "celebration of life" memorial luncheon and have reserved a room in a beautiful Tudor-style banquet hall for this event. I'm inviting all her friends and family members and am doing a slideshow of pictures from my mom's life. Anyway, I'm on a budget and can't afford some of the formal "wedding style" printed invitations I've seen that cost several hundred dollars. Can I have pink fliers with rose border (my mom's fave color and flower) printed up for invitations to put inside plain white envelopes, or is this tacky? Will people think, "A flier for an invitation?! Is this a rock concert or something?" I want to make everything as elegant and classy as possible to honor my mom, but my funds are limited. :-/ If anyone has any better budget ideas for invites, please let me know. Thank you!

My grandpa is a preacher and so is my fiancé's brother. We have decided that my grandpa will marry us since he is older and is likely to die sooner, and my fiancé's brother will most likely marry our children. However, I would still like to include his brother in the wedding. How can I do this? What would be something for him to participate in?

I found out earlier that I'm going to be getting an award at my school, and will be presented with it at a ceremony that's being held for all of the students that have been doing well. The letter said that family members, spouses, or any other guests are welcomed. Also, that I need to RSVP with the number of people that will be joining me. My parents will both be busy the day of this ceremony, and this is something I'd really like to go to by myself. But I worry about how it'll look if I don't take anyone along. I'm young (late teens/early 20s) but still, would it look bad if I didn't go to this with anyone. Would people think anything?

I've been feeling a bit bummed because I pay for all our dates and majority of the bills. I make about 2-3 times as much as him and all the money goes into our joint account and we keep 100 to ourselves a piece. He usually makes about 300 every 2 weeks. Most of which goes to cigarettes, vape juice, his cellphone and xbox crap. When we go out which is hardly ever we always use the joint account. But I spent a lot of money on him for his bday i bought him music festival tickets and a hard drive and took him out to eat. out of money i saved. But I told him about a concert i wanted to go to for my bday and he said just get the tickets with the joint account. He didn't even tell me happy bday. And I asked him if he could take me to this restaurant and he said let's go somewhere kinda cheap and used the joint account. And he said sorry he didn't have money to get me a gift but he went out and got a bumper and fender for his car the next day. I'm not a materialistic person and don't expect anything fancy. And I don't mind paying for a meal. But not every single time. I just want some equal effort from him. He says birthdays aren't a big deal to him and doesn't see a point in celebrating. And he feels like since he paid for stuff when we first got together that its not a big deal that I pay for most things now. ( Which wouldn't bother me as much if I weren't doing the majority of cooking and cleaning as well) I just don't understand how he can't see he's not being fair. No Unfortunately not a troll. And yes I really do make that much more than him he works part time for minimum wage and I make 10/hr at 60 hrs a week. It didnt start out that way. But things just keep going downhill. He acts like I owe him since he got me on my feet and he was the only one working when we first got together

The current venue can t hold as many people so they had to look for another venue that is larger at a later date. How often does this happen? update: two months away from the original wedding

i cheat on my husband all the time too and hes too stupid to notice that im riding the carousel behind his beta providing a$s. just live the dream while he pays for it and have fun with the hottest alpha studs on the side. you know its what we all do and what nature intended. my husband babysits while i'm out sitting on some hot guys face that i just met in a bar. i tell my husband i'm doing church charity or visiting a sick relative. the beta dummies always fall for it! in fact i'm pretty sure my second kid isn't even his and he has no idea. he doesn't even notice how loose my pu$sys gotten from sexing hot chocolate brothas on the regular.

obviously not as its called the isle of MAN so there is no kihens and noone to cook food. no women so its all men.

This is something my fiancé and I have been debating. I had always thought I would have a white wedding with all my close family and friends there. And then my dad cheated on my mom while she was battling cancer and left her while she was extremely ill and in a lot of pain (actually walked out of the house while she was unable to get out of bed). It tore the family apart and caused a huge rift. My siblings and I only pass ourselves with him because he insists on contacting us. I don't want him or his wife at my wedding. But I also don't want the added drama that will come from not inviting them. So now my fiancé and I have been discussing the best option. He loves the idea of eloping because he's always wanted it to be the two of us on a beech somewhere where we can be causal and mostly stress free. I'm also starting to like the idea of a romantic elopement. However, I know my future in laws, while they would be supportive, would be a little hurt. As would my mom and siblings. My fiancé also acknowledges this and agrees that it complicates things. We both decided asking online might be a good idea. Just to see what people would suggest and get some helpful advice.

This married guy from class asked for my number since I was absent and blah blah... I started flirting with him and he told me that he was surprised since I look like a model. Long sorry short. I am just messing with him but I'm not interested in him at all. He acts like he has a chance with me and yes it's m fault for sending him pictures... Now, I did it because I just got out of a complicated relationship. Yet, I always initiate conversation with him and he responds right away and is always there but once he besides the fact that he's married, he also has self esteem issues, big time... How can I play it cool this week since we have class twice a week. I don't want to pursue a romantic affair with him...

He and I are not close. Honestly, I'm only being as nice as I can until next year when I can leave for college because I don't want to cause myself even more trouble or be seen as an ungrateful person. I know my dad has done more than most people would have, but it doesn't make things better between us. My mom died when I was a baby. My dad wasn't around until I was 4. Before I lived with him, I lived with his parents, my grandparents, who were fantastic to me and have always been the emotional support I need. Since I've lived with him, he's been married 3 times and engaged 5 times, not including this current fiancée. I honestly believe she is the woman for him and they are extremely happy together. They suit each other because they both have similar goals in life, including presenting themselves as the perfect parents/stepparents. She has 3 young kids (under the age of 8) and has written out speeches for them to say at the wedding. She and my dad are gifting them to do it. With me, however, my dad has written out this really long speech that he wants me to give. And I don't want to do it. It's all one big lie and also really, really long (over three pages). All it does it make it sound like we've become the happiest of families and they're the best parents in the world. Neither is willing to compromise and both have said I must do it. But I don't want to. It's always been made clear that he only wants me because his parents basically pay him to be a dad. Advice? I have family who find it ridiculous and who have tried their hardest to make them see it's not a good idea, but they aren't willing to listen to anyone.

My fiancee's sister said I'd better be in the wedding. Issue - he has two. This one I am ok with but I barely know her and there are other issues that I have with her - I do not want to have her involved in the most intimate details shopping for the dress, wedding planning... and the other sister was something a couple years ago... I do not want her to be a bridesmaid. What is a good role for them? They should be involved but not as bridesmaids.

I'm having a wedding in Tahoe this summer; would I be able to hire a florist from Sacramento or is that too far?

Tonight form the lion king

Do you guys know a song that does both and shows both perspectives. How about hero by Enrique Iglesias.

Just to be clear I'm not grossly underestimating the cost of anything. I'm adopted as are both of my two brothers. One of my brothers was adopted from Russia. So no I'm not underestimating anything. However my parents never did any sort of crowdfunding (basically asking people to give them money) so that they could cover these expenses. Oh and for travel both of my parents flew to Russia and stayed there when they went to get my brother too. Just saying

what term best describes this modification? My significant other has asked me to do research on this, as the ring he is planning to use to propose is an heirloom and does not fit my personal taste. However, he wants to use the original setting because it means a lot to him. He's willing to change that, but he wants to use the original metal.
