All I need is a beach that we can eat dinner on in the night. We'd have our own catering done and we prefer not to spend tons!!

Where do I even begin with this cluster ****... So earlier this evening my long time Fiancee had me drive her to her parents place for dinner, so we could finally meet and announce our engagement. We get to the door, say our greetings and that's when I see it... her mother & father have these forced smiles on their faces while their eyes are looking at her going 'You're not serious'. I thought to say something then, but for her sake I bit my tongue. So while we're waiting for dinner, her dad is in the living room watching TV and talking about the game with her sister's fiancee, Thomas. They're laughing & having a good time, so I thought to break the ice by attempting to join the conversation. Thomas was really social & welcoming, but her dad got this look on his face and said he was going to watch his game. I thought to call him out on his issue with me, but again I bit my tongue because I didn't want to cause a fuss for my girl. Dinner rolls around while everyone is having their plate served to them at the table, I'm served a paper plate with plastic utensils. I didn't feel it was my place to ask to eat off their dishes like everyone else, but I was inwardly furious. My Fiancee however did ask why I didn't get a regular plate and her mother said the rest hadn't been washed yet. I click my tongue and ball my fist up and just sigh. At dinner, her sister announces her pregnancy and wedding date for next April and her parents act like they're going to die of glee-- My girl announces that we're getting married and the first think out her Mothers mouth is "You don't want to be tied down so young, you have your whole life ahead of you." I told her to grab her purse because we were leaving. She refused, asking me to calm down but I grabbed my plate, told her to get in the car or get left. I was done. I left her crying clawing at my car door and came straight home. She's been leaving messages I have yet to listen to. I don't know if we can make it. Thoughts?

I want to rent out a bar to have my engagement party. There would be around 56-100 people. I want there to be music, dancing, and an overall good time, but I'm afraid that some of my older family members (especially my fiance's parents) might be uncomfortable. There will be lounge seating and food of course, but should I try to have something more formal instead? Should I have 2 separate parties? Please help.

so I'm thinking of getting married in court just through papers im the type of person that doesn't like weddings big one I'm very shy and simple

so my cousin in getting married, on june 4. I have no idea what to where it might be cold to any ideas and by the way it's not on the beach it's like couple blocks away from the beachLOL

We am looking for an intimate location for the ceremony. It is important to us that we find a (somewhat) unique location. Beach weddings are out of the question!

We're getting married on a Sunday afternoon after church. All we want for our wedding is to get married in our church. Then to have a cake and punch reception afterwards. We don't want music, dancing, or alcohol. We're saving our money for a down payment on a house. We feel that's more important then a lavish wedding. What is your opinion of a really simple wedding ceremony, followed by a cake and punch reception?

So I lost my engagement ring I Dont wear it because I'm 6 months pregnant and I'm swelling up so I keep it in my purse in the side pockets. I tore my room apart, all of the cars and just kept looking and look all over the house too EVERYWHERE....I text my fiance and ask him to just search his room please and he goes its not here I said JUST DO IT PLEASE!!!! 1 Min or less later he goes its not here, so I tell him to check his moms car and he didn't even take nearly close to what I took searching for my ring in the car...So now he is blaming me and hurting my feelings because I lose everything and he knows that, I could lose my brain if it wasn't inside my head :( plus my emotions and hormones and depression and bipolar is all over the place and he just doesn't understand I'm hurting too its MY ring my first ever engagement ring....Please help.....:'( I Dont know what to do

We are having our ceremony on a Thursday in St Charles, but need a reception venue for as cheap as possible. We will probably have 80-100 people there. Preferably indoors.

We're not close, which isn't the reason, but it will explain why I might seem to have little fondness for her (people have pointed this out to me before). The truth is, she's always had expensive taste and looks down on those who don't have as much as she does. I knew when she and my mom asked me that I would never be able to afford a dress she would pick out and I was right. The dresses are $600 and that's for the dress alone. The shoes are also expensive and she's requesting that all our other sisters and SILs go to her stylist, who is extremely expensive. My mom has been on my back ever since, though. She has told me how bad it looks that I'm the only sister who won't be a bridesmaid and that people who know we're not close will see it as pettiness and will reflect badly on everyone. Was I wrong to say no? I'm the baby of the family, living on my own and I don't make a ton of money and I know I would never have been able to afford all this. I have told her over and over again. But she brings it up so often, it's exhausting. I walk away now. But at first, I would try to redirect the conversation. Honestly, I think after hearing it so many times, it's just on my mind a little more.

My daughter is getting married in April 2017. My husband and I are paying for the reception. My daughter has a very close relationship with my husband's favorite aunt, who is her great-aunt and lives over 300 miles away. When she was growing up, she stayed with this aunt a lot during school vacations. Today I got a shower invitation from this aunt. Since I hadn't known anything about this shower, I assumed that my daughter or husband had provided this aunt with a list of wedding guests names and address. My daughter now tells me that her aunt has invited her own friends instead of inviting the wedding guests!

My great-niece, who lives 6 hours away, is getting married April 2017. My friends and neighbors know her well because she stayed with our family during the summer (we 2 daughters near her age) until she started college. Everyone I've asked says they will come to the shower, and my great-niece is thrilled and willing to stay with us the week end of the shower, but she says the shower guests will have to be invited to the wedding.
