I'm looking to propose soon and want a photographer there for that moment. I also thought it would be nice if we had engagement pictures right after since I'm planning on both of us being dressed up for the proposal and my photographer doesn't charge much. My question is.. Do you think its a good idea to have engagement photos right after a proposal? Will she be upset about make up issues/ clothes style? What's your thoughts on this idea? Thank you! Alright maybe I didn't include enough info about us for you all to base your answers. So here is a bit more: She will say yes, she's dropped more hints about me doing it as soon as possible then I can count on both hands. She also told me I should have a photographer there (At least for the proposal). She really likes cute engagement pictures of couples and I think she wants to have her own which I think would be great as well. Hope this helps! Thanks!

My fiance and I are getting married and his mother wants a position of honour in the wedding. I suggested that my fiance escort his mother to her seat when he goes up to the altar but she isn't happy with that. She wants to stand at the front with us and either hold the chuppah (Jewish canopy) but ours is free standing or hold the ketubah (Jewish wedding contract) and present it to me after it's signed. I'm uncomfortable having her stand at the front since my parents won't be standing at the front and my fiance doesn't want his father at the front with us. However, she has become very upset that she won't be at the front and has said that she is basically dead to us and that she won't contribute financially to the wedding. I don't know what to do, am I being unreasonable by suggesting that my fiance escort her to her seat rather than having her stand at the front with us for the whole ceremony?

My fiancé and I have known each other 8yrs but only started our relationship late last year and recently became engaged, Wedding is set for NYE this year. For the 8yrs I've known him he pursued me relentlessly but I never gave him a chance because at that time he was known as a "ladies man" constantly with different women. He let it be known in everyway that he wanted a relationship with me, he even told me he loved me around 2yrs ago, I didn't want him to hurt me so I never gave in even though I was crazy about him. Over the last 2yrs he completely changed his life around and I finally took a chance with him, I was absolutely in love him, We have a very intense relationship & are never far from each other, He is very hands on with me and gets jealous with me very easily. The last week or so I feel I'm becoming less attracted to him and because he is so hands on he is starting to annoy me, I'm still like I always am towards him so I doubt he suspects anything. I know I love him but I'm doubting if I'm IN love with him. Is this normal to feel this way as it gets closer to the wedding or should I be listening to what I am feeling? Thanks.

I want to wear a red wedding dress. That's the only thing I know. What are ideas for what I could do for the other aspects of the wedding. I was thinking about an all white wedding with white decorations and bridal party. But what would my fiance wear? maybe a white tux with red tie etc. I'm open to all ideas.

My boyfriend and I have been talking about getting married lately. We are both 19 and just out of high school but have been together for 5 years. We are not in a good place financially to have a big "traditional" wedding. So we have discussed having my pastor marry us and only inviting family because we both want to be married. We want to have a bigger ceremony one or two years down the road which would essentially be our actual "wedding". I know we will not actually be getting married because we would already be married but the big ceremony is important to me. I want to share it with my extended family and friends and want to have my dad "give me away" and all of the other traditional things that happen at a big wedding ceremony. What are your thoughts on getting married now and having a wedding, or vow renewal I guess, later?
