So, this is such a weird situation. My partner and I have been together for 7 months. However, we've been LIVING together for 6 of those months (not out of romance really, but so that he could get away from a really bad living situation and it TURNED INTO a commitment thing). Ordinarily people seem to say that you shouldn't get engaged until after like two years, so that you actually get to know what they're like beyond just the initial wonderment, but we've been around each other almost 24/7 for the past half of a year and I feel like I'm not as "starry eyed" over him as I was when we first fell in love (not to say I don't love him a lot still, it just doesn't feel like the "everything you do is perfection" crush-love?). Basically, I was thinking about proposing to him around our 1 year anniversary, and I can't tell if that's a dumb idea or not. Help?

Heck, you think he'd be that new guys best man too "thanks bro, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!" @Anna......do husbands EVER get "given away" at weddings? No. No they don't. Why? Property law. Look it up. Feel hurt if you want. But its reality.

In a wedding, do the ushers all wear the same exact style/color of tux as one another? Or do they just pick out their different individually styled tuxes?

Ive only been in my new department for a year and Im not close at all with my coworkers so I wasnt planning on not inviting them to my wedding. I dont see myself keeping in contact with them when i leave this job as ill have a new project in a year. They have mentioned attending my wedding and getting me a shower gift (which i did not ask for)...I now feel like i should invite them. Should I invite them all? Maybe only my bosses? It would be 10 ppl plus guest! $$$ Im just worried it may be akward if i dont invite them.

My best friend has become a bridezilla since she got engaged- she demands that I get her Vendors info and contact them for her asap (make appointments for photoshoots, etc). She's always been demanding and often cuts off friendships and finds faults with people for petty reasons, but she's also my best friend since high school, so we've been there for each other and our families are super close too. Last year, she made out with my fiance's cousin at a bar (this is months before she met her fiance). Her fiance saw her photos with him much later and she told him that she had made out with my fiance's cousin once. Her fiance flipped and got super jealous, almost broke off the engagement, etc. I've never met her fiance (he lives on the other side of the country and they've been seeing each other for the last 6 months). We were supposed to meet him this friday at her family home. There are other couples on the guest list but she told me to not bring my fiance. No explanations, apologies, anything from her. I'm very upset- I'm not going to her dinner and she acted surprised that I canceled on the dinner. I'm also considering not going to her wedding- my fiance has been kind to her and even though they're different, he always makes it a point to accommodate her when she visits our home and stays over. My fiance and I have already reassured her that my fiance won't say anything about his cousin. Is it petty of me to want to not attend her wedding?

My dad is sort of a serial groom. He never married my mom, but has been married 5 times since I was 6. I actually bonded really well with two of his wives, not so much the other three, but two were really good to me and even have a good relationship with me still. This current finacée is okay(ish). She isn't the worst woman he's married, but I also know she sees me as a potential babysitter for her two kids. My dad told me he wants me to double as a bridesmaid and childminder for the day. I know that I don't want to go to this wedding. I've been to all the others and am tired of pretending to be happy for him. What makes me less excited about this one is the thought of being stuck with two kids the whole day while trying to be a bridesmaid and knowing that by saying no, it would probably do more damage than not going. I feel guilty. I do love my dad and he was there for me when I was growing up (now 19). I just don't like seeing him get married every few years. And it's a little insulting to be told I'm going to be babysitting two kids, one of whom is disabled. Should I go to the wedding anyway?

So my boyfriend supposely says he wants to marry me but he says he cant wear his engement/wedding band at work?maybe oshea goes by their i was thinking?anyways does new apartment trimming for walls/edges,and sets the closet shelves,ect..they use machines/tools to cut the trim..but i wanted to know?

my fiancée and I are getting married in the courthouse at 10am in the 14th of April but we weren't thinking about the guest/witness amount. so far my mother, his mother, my grandmother, my aunt, two of my friends, his brother and his brothers gf, and my sister all want to come and that's 9 people so far although my friend steve and his brothers gf are the two witnesses that are required.

I am going to give the church organist that is playing for our wedding a thank you card. Problem is, is my mind is completely drawing a blank on what to write. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great. Thanks in advance!

We had our wedding recently and I wasn't sure whether we should send thank you cards to people who attended our wedding and did not give a card or a gift? Also we had people give just cards with no gift/money. I wasn't sure if sending a thank you would draw attention to the fact that they did not give a gift or be a nice gesture, or just is not really necessary at all.

I was talking to a friend of mine today and about 4-1/2 wks. ago we attended a bridal shower for a relative. Neither of us has gotten a thank you card and know several other people who also haven't received cards. The bride is getting married in 2 wks, so we thought that if she hasn't sent thank you cards out by now, she won't be doing it since the wedding is soon. Isn't it poor etiquette not to send thank you cards. She got a lot of nice...and some expensive gifts. Maybe she will still send them out?

My fiancé and I are getting married next summer and its outside. Our colors are powder blue and gold. All the guys have darker hair but are fair skin. I was thinking either black tuxes with powder blue vest and tie or maybe grey with the blue vest and tie. Also any other options are welcome. My dress is ivory.

I come from a very large blended family/broken family, however you want to look at it. I have an older brother and sister. Both my parents are remarried. Stepdad has five kids from two marriages and stepmom has 4 kids from her first marriage. Both sets of stepgrandparents are also very close to the family and have always gone out of their way to include us. No matter how many times I tell them to drop the conversation or refuse to engage, this problem still comes up. My stepdads oldest two (from his first marriage) want their half sister and half brother invited to the wedding. And his younger three (from his second marriage) want their mom, stepdad and half siblings invited. I told them no when they first brought it up and then my stepmom and dad started encouraging it and even went as far as to tell me these people I've never met are family. My stepmoms kids want siblings and other grandparents invited. They also say crap like these people are family and I should be willing to be more inclusive, etc. This is on top of the +1's they're all getting (apart from the youngest who is still a minor). I just think it's a bit much to ask for. But other people have told me, even if the parents aren't paying which is the case here, that immediate family members normally get to invite a certain amount of people. is this true? I've never seen it before, but... They're not paying, we are. And it just doesn't stop. Even though I walk away and have told them I'm not talking about it, they email me, text me and leave lists through my mailbox.

Is that normal? I have the ceremony at the church at 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM and the reception at 6:00 PM - 12:00 AM. I don't know how long before the ceremony should the photographer be there to take pictures of the bride getting married. I just feel like there is a big gap in between the event that it might be cheaper to hire two different photographers. What do you guys suggest I do in this situation? Thank you in advance to the community for helping me out.

I finally managed to go on several dates with the girl I've been eying for the longest time. On our 4th date, she felt comfortable enough to come back to my place. I had wine ready for us and I threw on a movie to get us in the mood. After 3-4 glasses of wine, we began making out. Things were getting hot and heavy and before I knew it, we were both naked. Upon seeing her naked body, I immediately got a woody. When she saw it, she immediately went down on me. Being a team player that I am, I decided to return the favor. I was getting her hot and wet, so I felt that it was time to start penetrating her. As I stuck it in her, I immediately felt a connection to her. Her moans assured me that I was doing a great job. After close to 15 minutes, her moans were about to make me climax. I eventually came but unfortunately for me, I ripped a massive fart in the process and as soon as it happened, she immediately pushed me off with her feet and started laughing hysterically! I was so ashamed that I had to excuse myself and leave the room! She didn't sleep over after that and I am still embarrassed to contact her. How do I possibly save face after this?
