My husband and I got married in August last year and we decided before he becomes catholic that we would like yo have our marriage blessed. It's a 30 min thing with the priest and we are extending an invite to my aunts and uncles but that's it. I can't wear my wedding dress because it needs to be cleaned and he doesn't have his tux. PLUS I don't have enough to go out and buy anything and it's Sunday...what should I wear..I feel like everything I have is far too casual...HELP!!

His wedding is in late June. I know it's still early but I have to ask for permission at work, especially since it's on the July 4th weekend. Our relationship has been a rollercoaster and we've had our share of fights, in January I told him that I feel like he doesn't see me in his future and we should break up but he said: "I've been thinking about us and the future, I was actually thinking about moving in together after you're done with your exams and I was thinking to take you as my plus one to my brother's wedding". My last exam is next week, and his brother's bachelor's party is 2 weeks after that in April... should I ask him if I'm still going or wait until he brings the subject? In the case I ask... when would be the best time? Like I said, I have to tell my manager with time before any of my coworkers asks for the same weekend, plus I don't want to wait until the flights prices get too expensive so close to the wedding date.

My oldest daughter is getting married this summer. Her father and I have been divorced for a few years now. He and his wife (my older sister) will also be at the wedding. There is a lot of bad blood between my sister and myself. She's always had a deep hatred for me and through the years, she has done everything she possibly could to hurt me. This has included cheating with previous partners, attempting to spread lies about me and other nasty things. The affair between her and my ex husband is what led me to finish with her for good. I do not speak to her, support her or pretend to like her anymore. My family seem to have this idea that the four "parents" (my ex and myself and our spouses) should get together and do a nice toast/speech for the wedding. My ex and sister believe it's a very good idea and want to do it. My daughter doesn't know a thing about this. But family members have said it would make her, and the other kids, feel good about us uniting for something like this. Not only can I not stomach it, but even under better circumstances, I don't think I would feel comfortable not telling my daughter and future son in law about this. Opinions? The family members behind this are people I'm normally able to ignore, but I don't want anyone making a big deal out of this on my daughters wedding day. It's about her and her soon to be husband, not the rest of us. Of course I'll smile and not make it about myself. I've become very good at avoiding my sister and not coming into contact with her.

So I was engaged for a while but then things changed. My boyfriend and I are no longer sure if we want to get married. Due to some personal issues, things are kind of up in the air but we are still together and dating. I'm wondering how I can answer questions I may encounter on Easter from my family or his family such as "When is the wedding?" "Have you set a date yet?" Or "Where is your ring?". I don't want to sound rude but I'm also not comfortable sharing more than the bare minimum with them. I want to prepare myself on how to answer since I know the questions will come (We announced our engagement a long time ago. Even though things changed and they are going to wonder why, I feel like I shouldn't have to share our personal business.

So I don t think I was ever really engaged. I proposed to my boyfriend a couple years ago and bought my own ring. He was fine with it and we had a wedding date set. We told everyone we were engaged. Well recently we got in a fight over something stupid and ended up breaking up for a couple weeks. When we got back together I continued wearing the ring and made a couple vague references to the future. I even mentioned I was going to a bridal expo. He told me he wanted us to be married by a priest which I said sounded fine with me. Well on Sunday I brought up marriage and he said he hadn t thought much about it since our last fight. I reminded him of how recently he had mentioned wanting to get married by a priest. He said "oh I was just talking in general." It made me so mad! Should I sell the ring? I ve already stopped wearing it. My mom says I should go ahead and get rid of it since it was never really a proper engagement anyway (he never proposed, asked my dads permission, or bought the ring anyway.) I feel like such a fool for even wearing the ring after our fight and bringing up marriage again when he "hadn t thought much about it." Any advice? I want the ring gone. If he wants to marry me, he should propose properly.
