I am going to assist/second shoot for a photographer at a wedding this weekend. The bride lost both of her parents and she and the groom will be taking a trip to the cemetery with the lead photographer for some private photos. While they are gone I will be staying at the church with the bridal party. I have never met the couple so I'm having a difficult time coming up with ideas but I would really like to do something special for them.

Has anyone else noticed that people allow the bride to act completely shitty towards everyone "because it's their day"? When in reality this could be the way it is for 6mo to a year because of planning. Yahoo answers is full of this advice. At what point did weddings turn into entitlement and jerky behavior? I personally haven't had this issue with any of my friends or any wedding I have been in it just seems to be common theme I want opinions here if other people are bothered by it or if it's just me.

Right now we want to spend 3,000 for a wedding max. We have a guest of list of eighty people. I was wondering how much would I saved if I made my own .Napkins . Table Clothes . Did my own flower raging . Maybe even made my own cake. My mother is willing to help. My mom has sowed since I was very young. In addition, I took some flower raging classes. I was wondering how hard to make a wedding cake that good quality. How much we save vs. if just bought everything. How much time would I need off to do everything.

My stepson is getting married. They have waited till 1 month before the wedding to ask his father and I for a lot of money to pay wedding expenses. I did ask if her parents or his mother are contributing with an unexpected "no not at all". I have had a relationship with my stepson since he was about 7 when I met his father. He lived with us and visited his mother very little. Just for background info. His paternal mother has always been very nasty to me. At a Eagle Scout award ceremony in a church she called me names under her breath but load enough for myself and others to hear. She has always talked bad about me to her children. she didn't hear the whole meaning of a eagle scout that day! So the battle has already started with her getting her daughter (mental handicapped) to treat me poorly as well. She is pissed about me asking her to bring a dish to pass to the rehearsal and I am sure many other things. I bought a modest dress and even refused to pick a son/mother dance song for a special dance. I just stated that it would only be more uncomfortable for the bride and groom then it is worth. My stepson was totally understanding and thanked me for thinking of that. How will I ever make it through that day???? She has invited a lot of her family and I am sure I will be made to feel very uncomfortable. What if anything can I do?

My fiance's niece REALLY wants to be the flower girl at my wedding. She is really girly and just loves all that stuff. I really have no other little girls that would be the age of a flower girl anyway so my options would be let her be the flower girl, or not have one at all. The ring bearer will be my 2yr old nephew. We have a very small wedding party with only 3 bridesmaids and 3 groomsmen so I am not sure if I want to make her just be a JR BM instead, but the mens side would be uneven then! Has anyone done this in the past? Or have ideas that might work better?

My older sister is getting married in August. This is her 3rd marriage and her most expensive wedding to date, even though it hasn't happened yet. You see, she had everything booked and had some of us pay for flights, accommodation and take time off work to attend and then she cancelled at the last minute and decided they didn't want to marry there (I think it was Spain) anymore. This was after her changing her mind about getting married at home and booking a venue locally. I had already asked for time off work then, too, because she had set the date for that one. Invitations were sent out for both. Now that it's all happening again, I've decided I'm not even going to try to go. It's too expensive and I don't want to lose out on even more money and face work again if it's all called off again. Am I wrong?

I am just wondering if that is the normal amount for a 'average' wedding venue, cause that seems ridiculous...terms are 2500$ non refundable DP 3 months prior 1000$ additional 3 weeks prior Rest of cost for wedding 72 hours before wedding

Fiance and I are looking to get married in late summer/fall 2017. We've been going back and forth on plans, understanding we still have time for adjustments. Our biggest decision to be made - whether we want a destination wedding in Florida, or get married at home in the Midwest. We both have very large families, which is a big reason for the destination wedding - we want it smaller/intimate. We are considering Florida because it's cheap enough for family/friends to come if they want, possibly make their own vaca out of it. Anyway, we still want to have a reception when we return, as we know many of our friends and family won't/can't make the trip. This is where we keep wavering. We keep thinking that if we're going to have a reception when we return anyway, why not just have the whole damn wedding in the Midwest??? Except, I don't want to have every last person at my wedding necessarily - I'll feel horrible if I can't see everyone, or don't pay enough attention to the guests. Plus, the cost will just rise because we're essentially throwing 2 parties then... and now we're back to the destination wedding... As a compromise, we considered throwing a brunch type "reception", with breakfast buffet after we returned. This way we can still see those that couldn't make it, visit with them, provide a warm meal, etc... without the extra cost of another night of dinners, dj, booze, and chaos. What are your thoughts on a brunch reception? Is it tacky? Is it a good compromise?

They seem to suggest that even if someone other than the couple (the groom's parents, for instance) is hosting the event, that "you" (presumably meaning the bride) must somehow ensure that hosts invite a great many extra people, include a "date" for each of those extra people, request your [sic] VIP's to make toasts, choose a menu of which "you" approve, and so on. How does this work in real life? Are the groom's parents generally so willing to be overruled by their own child and his sweetheart? What happens if the rehearsal dinner hosts say"Either I give my dinner party in my own way or I don't give it at all"? How does a bride go about telling her future in-laws "You pay the bills while I call the shots"?

Both of my parents were unfit when I was younger and I ended up in the custody of my maternal grandparents, who I consider my parents. I have a few memories of them both and they are not good. My mother was an addict who never wanted to be a parent and my father was a man who got her pregnant and didn't want to know, didn't care and verbally abused me because he resented me for being born. I had no contact with either for many years until my grandparents had some contact with my mother a couple of years ago, prior to her death. But I really wasn't involved and only saw her once, when she turned up at our door. The last six or seven months, my father has attempted to re-establish a relationship with me. Mostly I think he's trying because his younger kids (with his now wife) found out about me during a visit with my paternal grandparents and have wanted to have me in their life. At least from what I've been told, it's the most likely thing. I can sort of appreciate the effort. But it's too late for us to have a relationship. He treated me terribly and I have no desire to have a relationship with him. Or his kids. Yes, they're my half siblings. But really, I don't have an emotional connection to them. With my wedding coming up, I've been thinking about what to do. I don't want them there. But I also don't want to hurt little kids feelings. So I'm torn. My mother is dead, so she won't be there anyway. It's him. I don't want him around me. The way he treated me left me scarred for a lot of my childhood and I don't want to bring that into my present life. His wife hasn't reached out to me. That was him.

Maybe an engagement ring?
