My fiancé is fluent because he grew up with deaf grandparents. I want to surprise him by signing our wedding vows on the big day. Is there any site or video that can help me learn this?

My partner and I are going to get married in Las Vegas. After we come back home and have enough money we will have a big wedding. I saw a dress that I like to wear to my Vegas wedding ceremony but it's dark blue. Do you think it's ok to wear a dark color for a wedding dress or should I just stick to white?

I am 24, just graduated out of college when my boyfriend of 8 years (we dated every since my freshman year of high school without "taking a break" or breaking up) proposed to me. I have mulled over many different types of weddings but decided to elope with our family there to witness. Money is tight because the money is coming from me and my fiancé. My parents won't help and may not even attend because they don't approve of my boyfriend. (There is a lot of hard feelings from high school that they are not willing to let go of. My parents were traditional and didn't want me to kiss my boyfriend so when he kissed my cheek prom night they freaked and it's been hard ever since.) My question is this: Am I planning a tasteful elopement? I know not having a lot of money cuts off a lot of options for us but we want to tasteful and nice wedding. I'm so confused. My tiny wedding gorgeous day package for $725.00, estimated expenses: $890.00 **excluding photography from outside source** 10 guests maximum, then go to Creekside Cafe and Catering for dinner, everyone pays for their own meal/we all split the bill Guest List: his mother, his step mother, his mother, his father, his sister, my mom*, my dad*, maid of honor*, best man, my brother* *Brother is in the navy, may not be able to make it, my parents don't approve, my maid of honor lives in another state

At the wedding reception I hosted, I hired caters and I spent thousands of dollars on them and during the wedding, I saw a couple girls who were caters on their phone texting while I peeked in the kitchen!! I even said: "HEY! I DON'T PAY YOU TO BE ON YOUR PHONE ALL DAY! GET OFF YOUR PHONE, GET TO WORK AND START BRINGING OUT STUFF!" Then she ignored me and just walked away and gave me the finger and I overheard her saying: "I am allowed to take a f**cking break! And she swore and said the f word!" Why are caters allowed to text anyway instead of doing their job? Could I fire them that same day for texting and wasting time while they should be working and catering? Are they right to be texting on their phone during the wedding reception when they have a job to do?

If you're getting married, what is the gift that you would want to receive? or if you have received gifts, what are those that you appreciate the most? I am thinking of a wedding gift to give to a friend..thank you!

Basically I need advice on sharing pics on social media of marriage my family wasn't invited to. We've been engaged for a year and everyone knows, so they won't be shocked. It's just complicated because I am the only cousin out of 15 between both sides who didn't invite the entire family to the wedding. I'm not even close to these people. Not even close enough to pick up the phone and say "I got married." Should I feel funny about posting pics of my wedding? I do have an aunt and some cousins on my facebook.

First let me give you some details. I'm the daughter of an American father, and a British mum. I was born and raised in the USA. My mum went back to the UK, after my father passed away in 2011. My fiance was born and raised in Scotland. Both of his parents are alive, and they are happily married. We met here in the USA about 3 years ago, and we are now planning our wedding. Our wedding is going to take place in the UK. From the very beginning of our wedding planning, our mother's have been insisting that we plan our wedding their way. We want a formal, low cost, very small, intimate wedding, followed by a brunch reception. We wold only invite our immediate family, which would be less than fifteen people We've tried to reason with them, but our arguments fall on deaf ears. We are almost to point that we are about to cancel our wedding, and elope. How would you deal with two mothers, who think we should plan our wedding their way? G, our mothers are not paying for our wedding. We have a wedding coordinator in the UK, and she's being very gracious to our mothers. However, they are arguing with her and with us about our wedding plans. We just want a quiet, elegant, gracious, low key wedding.

It would just come in s plain box.

Before you think that I'm homophobic, please me reassure that I'm not. I love my little sister very much. I'm a big supporter of the LGBTQ community. When I started planning my wedding, my sister was single, and she didn't have a significant other in her life. She met someone in the last couple of weeks, and she wants to bring her new girlfriend to my wedding, and I said no. My fiance and I can't afford to have another person, and the facility where were getting married only allows a certain amount of people. My sister is really mad at me, that we refuse to include her new girlfriend. If my sister had been in a long term relationship before we planned our wedding, it would have been a different story all together. But the fact that our finances won't allow it, and we don't want someone we don't know at our wedding. I really wish my sister would accept our decision, and just come to our wedding and be happy for us.

She is having an Alice in Wonderland theme, any ides for table/room decorations?

I am really sorry for my error with adding a question mark when I did not mean to! I meant of adding! I am so, so sorry again!

Junior Brides and Junior Grooms are also referred to as Miniature Brides and Miniature Grooms! The Junior Bride and Junior Groom walk next to each other at some point before the bride, usually before the ring bearer or ring bearers and the flower girl or flower girls if anyone has either of those roles in the wedding. The Junior Bride wears a dress and veil that is a miniature version of the bride's dress or gown and veil! The Junior Groom wears a suit or tuxedo that is a miniature version of the groom's suit or tuxedo! The Junior Bride's hair is made to look exactly like the bride's hair, and the Junior Groom's hair is made to look exactly like the groom's hair! http://forums.theknot.com/discussion/298621/do-i-really-need-a-mini-bride http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/mini-brides/ https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070320185158AAwNiAa I added some links to information on Junior Brides and Junior Grooms if you are interesting in them! I meant interested in them! I am really sorry for that error! The Junior Bride also carries a bouquet that is a version of the bride's bouquet! By bouquet I mean a flower bouquet! It is traditional in certain cultures to have a Junior Bride and Junior Groom in a wedding, and certain people love and/or like the idea! It is also a great idea to have a Junior Bride and Junior Groom if you are not certain what role two young people in your wedding party should have! Of course, it is only a great idea for your wedding if you and your fiance or fiancee both love the idea and want to incorporate it into your wedding! Junior Brides and Junior Grooms are different than Junior Bridesmaids and Junior Groomsmen. A Junior Bridesmaid is a bridesmaid that is fifteen years old or younger, and her dress is like the Bridesmaids' dresses except that it is more appropriate for a young lady than for an adult lady! A Junior Groomsman is a Groomsman that is fifteen years old or younger, and his suit or tuxedo is a smaller version of the suit or tuxedo that the Groomsmen sport! Of course, the Junior Bridesmaid and Junior Groomsman may sport something different than the fully-fledged Bridesmaids and Groomsmen do depending on the preferences of the two people that are getting married!

My 21 year old sister is getting married next month. She only has a maid of honor (me, 16) and another bridesmaid (17). For her bachelorette party, I was thinking to create a little scavenger hunt/quest with hint cards and tasks. For example, one of the tasks takes us to an arcade where she has to score a certain number of points in skee ball in order to receive the next hint card. Another example takes us to the mall and requires her to purchase/try on a weird item. The last hint card will take us to her favorite restaurant to end the night. Any other activities/places to go/things to do and related task ideas you may have would be awesome!

What exactly is a maid of honor and what does she do and where does she stand in a wedding?

What is the proper etiquette for buying gifts for bridal showers and weddings? Like, if i go to a bridal shower and buy the couple a gift should i buy the same couple a gift for their wedding. I'm just not sure if they are expecting two gifts for the same occasion, well it's basically the same occasion... Anyways, i'm just wondering what to do.

My niece is getting married next year and is registered at Williams Sonoma. I would like to purchase the Kitchen Aid mixer she wants but I know I can find the same exact model elsewhere for a lower price. She is requesting that the gifts be sent to her present address prior to the wedding so she'll know what she's getting ahead of time. First of all is buying the exact same item elsewhere besides the store where the bride is registered considered proper etiquette? Secondly, will she be allowed by Williams Sonoma to remove that item from her wish list even though it won't be purchased there?. Unless she deletes it there may be a chance someone could buy her the same gift.

I know I should know this, because I have been to many weddings....but typically if I go to a pre-party, it's a bachellorette party- not a "bridal shower". Went to my first one a couple of weeks ago and did buy from the couple's registry. Now the wedding is coming up...and I have no idea whether I'm supposed to buy another present or not. I'm not financially free to do this...but do NOT want to be rude. What is expected and appropriate?

I am attending a friends wedding this saturday and I am wondering if $30 is enough to put in the card...I am not bringing a date and it is a buffet style dinner. Is it tacky to include less than $50 in the card? I don't want to look like cheap...

I wouldn't put money in the card since I already spent quite a bit. But just a Congratulations card. I feel uncomfortable going empty handed, but what is the general standard?

I'm one of the maids of honor in my sister's wedding in July and I'm also getting married next year. I was wondering who's supposed to do.

We're pregnant with baby number 3 and it's early to find out the gender just yet, but since I'm a baby name nerd I can't help but think about names :) We have 2 daughters named Chandler Noelle and Dusty Elizabeth My boyfriend and I already have a boys name picked out: Gage Alexander My boyfriends last name is: Hartford Don't care to hear opinions about our naming style!

So i am 20 almost 21 and i am getting married on saterday. I litterally only have 1 friend so i plan on having a sleep over party with my cousins ages 10-16 and my maid of honor who is 18. Is this a bad idea?

My fiance denies it and I haven't spoke to the future sister in law about it for the simple fact that I don't want her to get any impression that her opinion about our union is relevant. She has been outspoken to him about not inviting me to family events since before she even met me, so it's nothing personal. Now we've met several times and she's cordial to me but won't be in the bridal party. She didn't like either dress I picked out. She's being difficult. My fiance is 45 and never married before. His parents are over protective and don't want us to Wed either but I can figure that out. What I cannot figure out is why his sis cares. They're not close and she does not feel protective over him. He's the older sib and used to give her money sometimes just to be nice. My personal theory is that she and the mother want him at their beckon call. They want to be the most important women in his life... for financial security as well as favors... does that make sense? Any other thoughts on why? Anyone else encounter this in your own life or someone else's.? Thanks.

My ex and I were together for 3 years and engaged for 1. I bought my wedding dress and it s perfect it s like a dream or a fairy tale. But after ending our relationship a couple months ago and now the dress has arrived at the bridal store and I m scared to pick it up. I guess my question is even though I bought the dress for our wedding, is it still my wedding dress? Do I try to sell it or put it up for consignment or is this the dress that I will eventually get married in?

My bf and I are getting married tomorrow morning and since we didn t really have time to go out and buy rings my question is can we just buy them later after we get married? I ve read online that they are not necessary at the ceremony but that you have to let them know before so that they can "skip that part". So is it ok to just buy them after and just put them on each other? lol I guess my real question is when people exchange rings at a civil marriage ceremony is anything "important" said or is it just like a "love and union speech"? I hope that makes sense, I don t want it to sound like I don t care too much about it but since my bf called me a little while ago asking if the rings are necessary I told him that from what I ve read online they are not necessary so maybe we can just buy them later. Of course having them at the ceremony would be more special but buying them after is still ok right? We just won t have the fancy speech :P (P.S. we re getting married at 10am and since my bf gets out of work late and still has to go tomorrow at least til 9am then we don t have any time to buy them before the ceremony :/ but if they give him the rest of the day off tomorrow then we can go buy them or if he has to go back to work then we ll buy our rings til Sunday ^_^)

In what order should the best mans speech proceed? i.e. thanks bride and groom, amusing stories, toaste

I'm going to propose on New years when the ball drops in time square. I know it is common, but i know she will like it. We don't live far from her parents, they just don't know me that well. We have been dating for 2 years. Do i need to ask her dad for permission or can i propose?

Im planning my lake wedding at Lake lanier and I am making the guest list but my question is when counting adults, would their children count as people? for the number of tables and chairs and paying for the open bar...

My friend is getting married next saturday and I've never been to a wedding before and I'm stressing out what to wear and I'm wondering if i should wear a tuxedo to a wedding and get a tux flower on there

I just got engaged this weekend and I can't figure out if I'm allowed to wear the band with the diamond ring while engaged. So for now I have my band on my right ring finger and engagment ring on my left ring finger. Someone please explain how this works. Lol I'm so confused.

I have to return a bridal shower invitation, on the line it has a capital M with a blank. I'm unsure whether I should use Miss or Ms, I am 21 years old. I am not engaged but I do have a boyfriend of 4 years. REGARDLESS. PLEASE HELPPP!

I am getting married in june, I keep seeing things on my to do list about ceremony readers, and i really have no idea what they are supposed to do! Are they supposed to read scripture? I am not a very religious person and I am not sure if i would like that. help!! lol

I'm getting married next year in May and wanted to do a bridal shoot. I live in the mountains of NC and wanted a really nice shoot with the gorgeous mountains as the back drop, but I started thinking, how and when do you get dressed for the shoot? Do brides get ready at home and then drive themselves in a heavy gown to the site or pick somewhere with a place to get dressed? Idk I feel like doing hair and makeup and then driving in the heat will just melt your face and soil your dress from being smashed in a car? I probably sound stupid right now but I'm really confused about the step by step details of getting portraits done. Thanks for any advice!

My brother and his fiance live near me and our parents and extended family as well as all of her family live close by here in Ohio except for her parents. Her parents just moved to California 2 years ago. My brother and his fiance are planning their wedding to be in California in August of 2017 when everybody lives in Ohio except her parents. Her parents are perfectly healthy, young and financially able to fly and travel, which they do because they come back to their home state of Indiana during the holidays. Do you think it's fair that so many people have to fly to California for their wedding when only 2 people would have to travel so far if they had their wedding where the majority of people already live?

My mom has been married to her husband for 3 years. They live a few hours from me. I'm close to my mom, but not her husband. I've also never met his kids, grandkids or in-laws. My mom mentioned that her husband was expecting his kids to be invited to my wedding. I told her I wasn't planning on inviting them and had already sent out save the dates to the ones I'm inviting. She said it was okay but then I got an email from her husband, saying his kids and grandkids were already looking forward to it and they just want us to be a happy family. He said since my brother (the only one to get married while mom was married) didn't invite them, I was the last chance to have a real family wedding with all the family, blood and family in heart. I'm torn. I don't see myself being in their lives at all, but at the same time, I wonder if it's worth the trouble it could cause my mom. Another thing is the cost for all those extras since kids will be at my wedding. I don't like asking my mom and her husband for money, because my fiance and I like being able to decide for ourselves. But we're both a little unsure here. Yeah. We can't afford the extra guests. I know her husband would step up and offer money, but I also know some people can think that comes with power, even if it's for a certain number of guests, etc. Well, I've seen my mom quite a bit. But her husband only a few times and never his kids or family.
