My friend is getting married in August, and I'm her maid of honor. I had thrown a bachelorette party for her in early May...however only one of her friends showed up. My friend was heartbroken and my as I was consoling her I said we could have another one because maybe her other friends are working....the problem is this girl doesn't have any good friends besides me. I think in her mind she has this idea that people she's talked to a few times are closer to her than they really are. I need advice cause I dont know what to do. Now that Ive trapped myself into trying to throw another party I'm scared that people arent going to show up again and I don't know how to approach it. Not only this but I am also trying to support myself through graduate school and paying another 300 dollars for a party isn't exactly what I want to do. I think my friend has a lot of expectations and wants this spectacular party and thats just not possible. What should I do? This is a really hard situation.

My aunt is getting married, we need some songs to play for dinner. What are some good songs to play? My aunt is getting married, we need some songs to play for dinner. What are some good songs to play? If you guys could give suggestions it would be great!

I just received a wedding invitation with the following at the end: "Private reception for family and bridal party to follow." I think it means I've been invited to the wedding but not the reception? As in, see us tie the knot, drop off the present, but don't expect us to fork out money for the celebration for you! Please, am I just misinterpreting?

I ll try to make this somewhat short. My brother has been married now for about 10 years, while I obviously know his wife, we are not EXTREMELY close. Yes, I always thought I would have her in my wedding, however, given recent events, I don t think I do. She doesn t get along with my other brother very well, who is in recovery for drugs. Yes, he has made poor decisions but he is almost 3 years sober and she still treats him like he s using. While I feel like it would be just that simple and not invite her, she also just assumed she would be a bridesmaid which also annoys me. I m inclined to not have her in my wedding party but I m too nervous that I will cause unnecessary drama. Is it worth it? I feel like I should stick up for my brother. My FI is also not very happy because he thinks if I do let her in the wedding party that I m letting her make the decisions....what do I do?

The wedding is one month after we have our baby.. while husband wants to , he doesn t want to fully commit as he sees how upset it made me..I ve never been a participant in a wedding other than as a bride but I feel its best to keep married spouses together .. when we have our formal wedding my plan is have spouses paired up with each other .. I don t want anyone having their feelings hurt or if they feel like me, completely hurt and left out as usual.. I m friends with the bride and he s friends with the groom.. while I m happy for their being married this year, I feel hurt that I wasn t given the same chance to participate.. what should we mainly my husband do?

My dad is getting married soon. I already RSVP'd no to it. But he has told me I can still say yes and he will make sure there is room for me there. He's offered to buy me a new dress and said it would mean the world to him if I was there for him on his big day. You see, I love my dad. I'll always love my dad. But I have not lived with him for two years now (I'm 17) and I'll never be able to trust him again. He put his girlfriend, not fiancée and her three kids before me. To the point I was removed from the home for my own safety (her three kids have SO many problems and I was at risk living under the same roof as them). I lost my mom at 10 and my dad and I used to be very close. So it does hurt that things have worked out this way. But I can't support him anymore. I see him for two hours every Saturday, as that what visitation the courts gave him. However, I don't see myself maintaining contact once I turn 18. My aunt (dads sister) has been bringing it up every time I visit my grandparents lately. She said I should put everything aside to be there for the man who raised me. But I disagree strongly and feel he made his choices and now I'm making mine to keep myself safe. Should I go?

Accidentally I bought a male Diana ring at "Saphir", Waversesteenweg 9, B1050 Elsene BE that costed € 650. I didn't need any expensive ring and offered it a friend. I left it in the store. My friend went to the store where he got the ring with the aid of a paper as far as I remembered. Months later he showed me the ring, but that was not the ring I bought. I don't know if I would go to a pro deo, sometimes I think that's stupid because I really offered my friend that ring. But what if he is cheated by that female seller in the store? He doesn't care. Money I don't need because I'm alone in life and get an unemployment revenue. The ring exists in a big blue stone as a sapphire. Following my friend he had little diamonds around it. The metal made an arch and was quite thin. He told me that thus the ring must be changed. He said a technician of the provider had been in his apartment.

My fiance and I are having a destination wedding in Turks & Caicos and I would like to allow my guests plenty of time to consider and plan to attend. Would it be wrong to mail out the wedding invitation out 12 months in advance? I have already sent out the Save The Date cards about 4 weeks ago but at that time I did not have the wedding website ready (it was an after thought). Is there something I can send to my guests with the pertinent information (hotel, flight, etc.) other than the invitation at this time and then mail the invitation at the appropriate time? Thanks in advance.

Welcome Paragraph-not room here Since I am teetering on still being in my honeymoon stage and quickly approaching my one year anniversary, I thought I would share some newlywed advice with the new Mr. and Mrs. Marriage is great! It's starting a life with your best friend, being independent from your family, and working as a team. But mainly, it's a huge mess, every single day. For those of you who might not know, including Brian, Cathy can be messy! By messy I mean, I'm not sure if she sleeps under or above the heaps of clothes always on her bed kind of messy. I even recall one time Cathy blaming me for stealing her razor, only to find it days later between the sheets in her bed. Figuring out the first year of marriage is working through the daily challenges of living with one another. At times, you may want to give up on your mess and shut the door. Jason, your workout gloves are on the bottom shelf of the basement pantry behind all the paper towels. But you can't, making a mess is living life, working through your mess is working together and being a team, cleaning each other's messes is forgiveness, and having a completely mess free life, well that is impossible. So embrace each other's mess and never shut the door. Because some days, it might feel like you are laying on razor blades when you lay down at night, and Brian, some days, you actually are. So today, I would like to toast to the bride and groom to a lifetime of blessings, love, and beautiful messes.

I am getting married at a venue so we are not having a ceremony in a church. Can I baptize our child in a catholic church? We are both catholic...

My daughter is 27, getting married in August, she is looking for a song to dance to with her dad, not "daddys little girl" she hates that song! Long story short, I married when she was 5 yrs old and he has been her dad through all these years. Doing everything for her, braces, homework help, college, "Real dad" not around. Thanks!!

My fiancé and I have been together for 4 years. He has a 16 year old daughter with his ex girlfriend. My husband has always been in his daughters life and they were very close up until he and I started getting serious, then problems started to appear. We have a two year old son together and we are getting married in 3 weeks. His daughter was supposed to be attending at first, and she was even supposed to be a bridesmaid (she agreed to all of this), which I thought was her saying she was starting to come around to me, but now she has announced that she won't be coming. It's very annoying and my fiancé is extremely hurt over this. He asked her why and she said it's because she doesn't like me and because she won't know anyone there but us and her brother. I do understand the second part, and we would have allowed her to bring a friend if she had mentioned something, but we can't now. My fiancé asked me to talk to her, so I did and it seemed like she was enjoying herself. I told her I would love for her to be there, even if she wasn't a bridesmaid and she said no to that, too. Does anyone have any advice? What would you do if you were us? We've talked about postponing the wedding but that was dismissed immediately and we just don't know what to say or do. She's getting to the age where she will be able to say no to seeing her father whenever she wants and I think the thought kills my fiancé.
