I was asked to create a wedding speech (I am the maid of honor) and I was given short notice. Does this sound okay? Thank you! Hello, everyone! For those of you who do not know me, my name is ____. I would like to begin by thanking Jane and John for allowing me to be a part of their special day, and I would like to thank everyone who could be here for making this day truly remarkable. I have known the bride and groom for quite some time now. John and I became friends during High School, and while I have only known Jane for around two years, she has been my best friend ever since the time we first bonded over a coloring book and a box of beads. Over the years that I have known them, I have watched Jane and John grow together, not just as a couple but as best friends as well, and I know that without a doubt, they will continue to love, cherish, and care for one another as time moves forward. Jane has always been honest, trustworthy, and kind to me. I can truly say that I could not have ever asked or hoped for a better friend to have in my life. Jane, it is truly an honor to have the privilege of standing by your side on your wedding day. There couldn t be a better groom for the person who I am lucky enough to call my best friend. True love is the joy of life! Jane and John, I would like to congratulate you on this beautiful day, and I wish you both all of the love and happiness in the world. Here s to Jane and John! The best is yet to be!

I get along great with my ex. We have a daughter and we consider each other family. We can count on each other for anything. He gets along fine with my fiancé and his wife and I are friends. I'm their son's godmother. I'm planning my wedding and I was going to invite them but my fiancé said no it will be too weird. I dont know what to do.

I am a muslim and want to marry my girlfriend through a civil non religious court . is there such thing out there i want no input from my parents or hers . we love eachother

Will the family understand if my grandfather dies and I am unable to make it because his funeral is that day? I am so scared that this will be the case and I will never be asked to a family wedding again because there is a great-uncle the family used to ask to stuff and he often said no. As a result we didn't have him when my brother got married or when my grandmother turned 90 because we assumed he wouldn't care about coming. So my question is will the family blow me off next time if I have to miss due to my grandfather's funeral? My mother will not be generous and schedule his funeral at a different time because she is insensitive to this.

We are getting married in June 2017. I want the wedding to be at the family farm. The land consists of my uncle's house, my parents house, and my grandfather's ( which he has given to me) all right in a row. My horses are here. The land (which is technically my land) means everything to me. My grandpa bought the house and 80 acres when he was 18 and my grandma was 17. He is now 87 and my grandma is deceased. There is a lot of love and history on this property and I know my grandpa will be so happy. I also want to be able and look over in my wedding dress and see my horses and the barn where I have spent all my life in growing up. My fiancées parents want it to be at their new house. With their brand new pool. They basically want to show off their house. They are very controlling and try to call the shots on everything. Don't get me wrong they are great people and I couldn't ask for better in laws who have always accepted me since day one. I'm not the best person with conflicts. I really don't want to hurt their feelings and I don't know what to say or how to handle this. What do I do?

I hate my FH sis. whn we arrived at her home to chil we went n her room & said hello chatted 4 a while & wnt dwnstrs & waited 4 her 2 *** dwn & chill with us 20 min pass 1 hour 1 hour 30 min. At this point FH is pissed we *** ovr 2 hang out wth her & she left us dwnstrs watching TV, so HE decided 2 leave. Her BF was dwnstrs the whole time sleep on the couch. I got up 1st & walked to the door with my FH behind me. I stopped at the dor & waited 4 him 2 say bye 2 his sis I said arnt u going 2 say bye he said no shes being rude lets go so I walked on. Next AM his sis cals my FH crying & screaming about how her BF (who was sleep when we left) said that I made him leave her house. FH sis said I have brain washed him turned him against the family caled me out my name she said she will never accept me in2 the family & said she will fight me. I called her with my FH on 3 way & I asked her with no atitude Hey whats wrng whats going on she was mad & hung up. ben 2mon since & my FH still talks 2 her. we have ben at 2 family functions & she will not speak but she will make comnts about my FH needing 2 break up wth me. Im snding invites 4 our weding & Im not invitng her. I feel if she dsnt suport us dsnt respct me & is stil bing petty abt the situation & cant act cordial she shldnt B there. I feel like she will B drama. The only part I feel bad about is that my FH comes frm a family of 13 his sis the only 1 not invited I'm sure her feelings will b hurt. I hate my fiancés sister. His sister is married so all four of us use to hang out at her house and chill. Long story short my fiancés brother and I had a falling out about a family business and he actually disrespected me, and my fiancé and his brother fell out and almost fought each other because of it. His sister was actually there and says to me "Ima fight you because my brothers are about to fight" I ignored this statement. after that argument settled we went over her house and she of course had little comments such as "why aren't yall married by now, he must not want to marry you" So there was I really don't care for you attitude between the 2 of us. 1 night we went over her house to chill. She already had company over there in her room. Long story short his sister was upstairs in her room and when we arrived we went in her room and said hello, chatted for a while and went downstairs and waited for her to come down and chill with us 20 min pass, 30, 1 hour, 1 hour 30 min. And at this point my fiancé is pissed we came over to hang out with her and chill with her and she left us downstairs in her house watching TV, so HE decided to leave. Her best friend was downstairs the whole time asleep on the couch. My fiancé told me "come on and let's go", I got up first and walked to the door with my fiancé right behind me. I stopped at the door and waited for him to say goodbye to his sister. I said aren't you going to say bye but he said "no she's being rude, lets go" so I walked out the door and he followed. So the next morning his sister calls my fiancé crying and screaming about how her best friend (who was sleep when we left) said that I made him leave her house. His sister said I have brain washed him turned him against the family im a bit** a hoe im stuck up coincided he puts up with me and is not even happy in the relationship. I I don't even please him and never give him sex when he wants and needs it; I give it to him when I'm ready. she will never accept me into this family and I am no longer welcome in her house and when she sees me she will fight me. She wanted to come over NOW and talk to her. I call her (with my fiancé on 3 way so he knows I came at her correctly) and I simply asked her with no attitude "Hey what's wrong? what's going on?" she said "she was so mad that she was going to break her phone and she cant talk to me over the phone I have to come over and she hung up" So its been 2months since then and my fiancé still talks to her. But we have been at about 2 family functions and she will not speak to me, but she will make smart comments about my fiancé needing to break up with me (as recent as last week) let her disrespect me in front of everyone. Here I am planning our wedding and I have no intentions of inviting her, nor her husband or kids. I feel if she doesn't support us, doesn't respect me and is still being petty about the situation and cant act cordial she shouldn't be there. I don't plan to invite her to anything. No engagement party, no dress fitting, no bachelorette party, she wont be in the wedding nothing. Im not going to make it known publicly shes not inviting. I will own my decision though. I feel like she will be uncontrolled drama. The only part I feel bad about is that my fiancé comes from a family of 13 and even though me and his brother had our differences we know how to act being in the same room. his sister is the only one I truly have a problem with. For her to be the only one not invited I'm sure her feelings will be hurt. But how much worse can it get? My family won't tolerate any disrespect at my wedding and I come from a family of 9 so they will have my back.

Her last wedding was lots of fun. All of our cousins came, aunts and uncles, and cousins of my parents as well as my Dads aunts and uncles and two aunts of my mothers. This second wedding will be very small. It is the husband to be's second wedding also. It will be immediate families, and one aunt is coming. How do I have fun? I am 19

A couple months ago I took my 3 piece wedding ring set in to the mall to be sautered together, when I got it back I slipped it right on my finger and didn't look at the inside of the bands or the front and back to the bands. I mainly just checked the diamonds to make sure they were okay. Well a few weeks after I notice black streaks on my ring, because it is sterling silver i thought it could be tarnish so I used a salt,warm water and baking soda mix to clean it multiple times and nothing has changed. I'm not sure if what's wrong with my ring has to do with it getting sautered or not but I no longer have any proof that I took it to be sautered so my questions are, can this issue be because of having it sautered? Is there anything I can do to fix my ring? If not should I get another?

So my story might be a little different. My mom is my bio mom. She's the only biological parent I've ever had in my life. My dad, the man I call dad and the man who has been there since I was born, is my moms best friend who stepped up when I was born because my biological dad didn't want to know. He and my mom were never, ever a couple and were never more than close friends. He's honestly one of the best people ever and I know my mom still considers him one of the most important people in her life. When I was 12, my mom married my stepfather. He's a nice man and has done his best for me. But I've always known he hates this situation (though he never says anything to my mom. That, I am sure of). And now it seems like his jealousy/insecurities are coming out now that I'm planning my wedding. He asked me point blank if he could be FOB and walk me down the aisle/do father/daughter dance, etc. I was speechless and he left before I had the chance to respond. I guess I should have seen it coming, but since I really never considered him doing any of that stuff, I kind of didn't think about it too much. I know he has been good to me. But he's not my dad. I don't look at him as a dad or as a dad figure. My dad is that to me and he's been amazing. And my mom is amazing, too. Any advice? I don't know if I should bring this up to my mom. I know she would act, but I also don't want to upset her. My stepfather didn't raise me. He was never the dad in my life. My dad is and always has been. We're paying for everything. And my mom has mentioned before about my dad walking me down the aisle, so she knows it will be him. Dad is my family. He had me 50% of the time. I went to his house every other week as a kid. I spent time with him, loved him, was treated just like a bio kid with divorced/no longer together parents. This is my reality and just because it isn't a legal relationship, I don't feel it should be seen as less than a father daughter relationship.
