I wish my parents had been more considerate of my schedule. They are getting married the same day in October. The weddings are only about 15 minutes away from each other but same day (though one hour apart). Should I go back and forth between the two? What do I do? My Dad understands my mother is mad if I go to his and not hers. They don't speak and only have once since their divorce.

:D ???

My parents divorced 5 years ago. My dad married his wife, the mother of my 6 year old little sister, 4 years ago. It was the cause of the break up (my dad was seeing his wife behind my moms back and got her pregnant). My relationship with my dad suffered because of it, but my mom has always told me I need a relationship with him and my baby sister, who is really important to me. Anyway, my mom and I will be doing a joint mother/son dance with my fiancée and her father during the reception. The biggest reason for this is my future FIL suffers from terrible anxiety and this is a way of helping take some of the attention off the two of them (in his head), plus we liked the idea. My dad, however, isn't happy. He found out about it after he paid my fiancée and I discussing what song we should play that would work for both of us. I honestly didn't think it would be a big deal. But he said it would sting for him because he knows his wife and I will not be dancing at the wedding. He wants to portray us as this happy family and wants people to believe his wife and I have a good relationship. Should I talk to my dad about this or should I tell him it's happening whether he wants it to or not and ignore/shut him down? @BeatriceBatten He's not giving us any money. But good point mentioning it. I never would have thought to mention it.

I'm having a hard time finding a ring I like - looking for heart-shaped, fairly simple, and that doesn't stand too high - I was originally told a budget of $2,500 but I'm looking for something around half that price. I'm torn between trying to find something more unique from places like Etsy (please don't link to rings on Etsy, got that covered already!) and mainstream stores where I could actually try the ring on before buying. Any suggestions for mainstream jewellery stores to try?

I had a friend who I met through other friends. She was nice, don't get me wrong, but things got weird really quickly... She wanted live next door to me, have me as her MOH at her wedding, be pregnant at the same time, share a baby shower and do a pregnancy photo shoot together, and raise our kids to be either a couple or "BFFs". She also started buying cloths like mine and even EXACT outfits and wearing them on the same day, calling us "twins-ies" all the time... I only knew her for like 5 months at this point. Then she bought my engagement ring- the EXACT same ring, and started wearing it as her engagement ring. I was really weirded out and stopped talking to her, but now every time I look at my ring I think of her and it's so frustrating. I used to love showing off my ring and love how it looks.. and it's just all ruined for me. What should I do? It's a beautiful ring, but I'll never be able to sell it for what it's worth... I'm so frustrated. I know she did this on purpose. She went into Kays while we were at the mall (I was getting a pretzel) to look "real quick" when she came back she had the ring on and she showed me and yelled "twins-ies!!" :( Please help. EDIT: I stopped being friends with her already. This ring thing was my "last straw" My problem is we live in such a small town people are thinking I coppied her. This is why I don't know what to do

My fiance is from Jamaica. Only literally 6 of his family members live here in the states. since i was a little girl ive always wanted to get married in Jamaica like my parents did. since his family is there why not have it there. its way easier for my family to travel there. Now we both are confused about how the actual marriage works. Do we officially get married here and then fly there or can the minister legalize our wedding there? we live in Georgia. Help us out. thanks.

I've gotten myself in the middle of a big mess and am curious how others would view the situation. I used to work for a florist, and a coworker at my new job asked me if I could connect her with the florist to order wholesale flowers for a wedding she was helping a friend with. The florist agreed and said she would sell them to my coworker for wholesale price plus $25 for the time, which is very generous. I told my coworker to send the florist her flower list. Instead, my coworker sent a long email full of very basic questions about floral arranging, and the florist said she would need to come in for a consultation. In the meantime, the florist contacted me upset that this girl was basically asking her for free advice on what she makes a living doing, and on a busy holiday weekend, so I apologized and said it's fine to charge her for the time. My coworker went in for the consultation, the florist gave her a huge guilt trip, made her feel like a giant burden, and charged her $500. My coworker is in way over her head with this wedding and is young and naïve. What she did was inappropriate, but she just didn't know better. I feel that if the florist felt like it was such a burden, she should have just said "no" and pointed us somewhere else rather than saying yes, giving us both huge guilt trips, and then charging her an outrageous amount for a 1-hour consultation. I see both of these people frequently and am not sure how to smooth this over. Thoughts?
