He is getting married near his wife's family and they will have a reception locally. When he comes home he wanted to introduce his wife to our family and my mother refuses saying she is sick of hosting and is already travelling for their wedding. None of the extended family can make it to the wedding because it is right at back to school season (September) and the grandparents have health issues and can't travel (one aunt is coming). So should I? I have the resources for it.

I just want to know for my essay. How much is spent on engagement and wedding rings yearly (all the people in the U.S. combined...how much is that total)?

I recently took my boyfriend to my friends wedding with me, even though I was in the bridal party. It was his first time meeting all my close friends that weekend. during the ceremony and the beginning half of the reception, I was busy with bridesmaid duties, and somewhere between all the time I was running about the reception, he managed to get REALLY drunk. Towards the end of the night I was actually annoyed with his loud singing and dancing (he was having a good time, I was just embarrassed) he ended up leaving to go back to our room a few minutes before the reception was over because he was so drunk he basically crashed. It was then that I found out my friends were making fun of how ridiculous he was dancing. (I was dancing with him but in front of him so I didn t see how ridiculous he looked) fast forward to me having to put up with him throwing up in the bathroom and proceeding to sleep on the hotel room floor, then me having to explain the next day why he didn t come to brunch, which only lead to my friends husbands making fun of him all over again. My girlfriends have told me not to worry about it, they loved him and we ve all been there, but I m still embarrassed. He s a wonderful guy who treats me so well, but my embarrassment over his frat-boy antics almost had me second guessing everything, which I know is silly. How can I get over feeling so crappy over all this? Adding that ive known him a VERY long time and I've never seen him act like this before, my gut instinct is thinking he drank heavily because he was nervous. I don't think anyone even noticed besides my friends husbands, the bride thought it was funny (she didn't notice his embarrassing dancing at all) and was only glad he had a good time. I think more of my embarrassment is over my friends husbands making fun of him. I don't think I would have gotten upset if they didn't bring it up to me.

Should I just leave him? I can handle not being married but I can't handle being disappointed over and over and not being able to depend on my partner in life.

so my fiancé got me a ring and its cute but I don't think its real. I mean I could just go to a jeweler and find out but I would be embarrassed if they said its not. its a sliver ring with a diamond in the middle and some diamonds on both sides but the ones on the sides look faded and not so sparkly. I tried to look in the inside and I do see a number with a k next to it but I wear my ring when I use lotions so its all covered in debris. I mean if its not real its cool I guess but im kinda annoyed that he didn't think I was worth a real ring

My Mother has the ring that I would like to give to my (hopefully) soon to be fiance. She my mother) lives in South Africa and I in the US, how do I reliably and safely have it shipped across here?

I invited my mom, her husband and his three (minor) kids who I knew would be there the weekend we're getting married. I didn't really want his kids there for various reasons, but knew I couldn't exclude them when they were going to be there because other kids will be there. That was fine. I could live with it. They RSVP'd yes and things were good. However, now my mom has told me they'll have her husbands ex's other kids (kids she has with her current husband) that weekend and want to bring them too. I told her no. She said they can't get out of having them and can't leave them alone while everyone else goes. I'm so angry right now. Two of her husbands three kids have major behavioral issues that are difficult as it is, but she also accidentally admitted to asking for them that weekend because her husbands youngest doesn't want to come to the wedding because she doesn't like my mom and this way their way of bribing her to come without a tantrum or fight (by having her younger siblings there). Any advice? I told her no and she told me they can't leave those two at home (or three, if you count her stepdaughter) while they take the older two. So I'm more than a little worried that she'll end up agreeing that she won't bring them and then will anyway. The parents of these two kids aren't invited. My moms husband is not their father. His ex wife is. These kids are related to his kids, yes, but not to him.
