I m getting in less than a month my fiancé is dancing with his mom for mother-son dance. Both of parents are deceased. Who could I dance with at my wedding. I don t have brothers or a grandfather. Would it be weird if I danced with a large framed picture of my father by myself? Help!

Everybody acts like your wedding is one of the biggest events of your life. Funny thing is... I don't want one. I'm completely and totally in love with my girlfriend. I want to be with her forever. I want there to be commitment between us. We're lesbians, and I've kept our relationship from my family and don't plan on revealing it. We aren't close with my folks. I feel like a wedding would make me uncomfortable. But marriage would mean easier taxes. Is that worth it? Maybe we could just get promise rings. I don't know. I feel like marriage is so old-fashioned and just isn't "us". But I want us to be together forever. What should I do?

Ok so I just got engaged, we ve been together now for over 7 years. We would rather save our money for a down payment on a house. So we are thinking of just getting married through civil but we do want to have a small reception with our closest friends and family just to celebrate our our marriage. Is that tacky? Do people do that is not normal ? This is my first time getting married and we are on a budget we don t have parents to help us with the wedding so we just want to keep it as low budget as possible.

My stepmom has been more of a mom to me than my mom ever was. My bio mom is a deadbeat. She never wanted to be a parent and walked away for the final time when I was 7, just after my dad married my stepmom. I love my stepmom. I do. She's always treated me like her own and she has given me my younger siblings who I adore. But I don't always get along with her or agree with her and it has strained our relationship. Especially this. She's always disliked my relationship with my maternal grandparents and uncles. She said it wasn't fair because they weren't willing to treat her kids (not related to them) the way they treated me. But I understand why. They have no ties to my siblings and it would be weird for them to treat them like they did. I'm actually very close to them. My dad is okay with them, though has voiced his wish they weren't in my life. I've invited them to my wedding (fully funded by my fiancé and me). My stepmom has said she's upset and disappointed I want them there and has said she might not come to the wedding now because she feels betrayed and thinks my siblings will be hurt to see them (my siblings know and understand why I have some family members that they don't). Was I wrong to invite them? I'm also worried she won't let my siblings come. She's threatened to not allow them and that hurts me more than her not coming.

I'll be having an outdoor wedding. My preference has always been to wear high heels for my wedding, but as the groom is only 3 inches taller than me, that will not work as I don't want to be taller than my groom. I don't particularly like flats either. So would barefoot sandals be tacky? Its not at a beach, but it is outdoors!

Last year we were invited to wedding and the invite said no children were invited to either the wedding or reception. I thought it was pretty weird & rude. We had a smaller child at the time a we were considering going but then our sitter backed out at the last minute and we didn't want to leave our baby with a stranger. It was a Protestant wedding. Have you experienced this before? What do you think of this practice, the "no children" wedding?. How are these kids want to get married when they grow up if they aren't allowed to witness weddings? It just seems like a Nazi practice to me Are people such mean scrooges they hate little children?

Okay so my younger sister is getting married and has asked me to design and make her wedding dress which I didn't have a problem with. (Her wedding is in December by the way) A few weeks ago she emailed me about what she wanted her dress to look like (She wanted it to be a mermaid style red dress with lace at the bottom) I just got done with sketching it and was about to make it after she had approved the dress design. A few days later she texts me saying that she wanted a red ball gown style dress with a black sash so I said "OK are you sure" & she said "Yea" I sketch the dress with what she asked for and send it to her for her approval which she liked it. A week later she comes over so she can look over the dress and says that she's now thinking about a red asymmetrical dress with sequins at the bottom. So I design that dress and send it to her which she again approves. A few days later she AGAIN texts me saying that she wants a red off the shoulder dress. I am getting so irritated because every time I go to design the dress that she wants, she's wanting a different type dress! Am I wrong for feeling bad for getting annoyed and irritated?
