I worked at a catering hall and the biggest rule was brides can never see each other. Is it really a secret that other women are getting married on the same day as you?? No hate, I'm a woman too. That's why I think it's so silly...

My fiance and I have been dating for 3 years. We got engaged last year but didn't plan a date. I know a lot of people around here don't view that as being officially engaged and my future sis in law agrees. She didn't consider us engaged and didn't take us seriously. Btw when I first met her and began dating her brother she was married to someone else. Anyway a few months after we got engaged she did too, to someone she started dating after us. It's her second wedding and my first. She wasted no time planning her wedding. Her date is in September. We knew that. But coincidentally our lives came together in such a way that now is a good time for us to get married. We threw a wedding together in 5 weeks and are ready to do it. The future in laws are not happy but I don't want to post pone my life. I don't need to be the center of the universe as a bride. I don't need to be the only bride in the reception hall, or in the family or in the world. I just want to wear a pretty dress, profess my love and get on with life. I want to be a wife and mother. Its a little awkward that our weddings are so close and she did see the date first but I really don't want to wait. Am I wrong?

My fiance and I have been courting for over a year and a half. We are choosing to have a really, really, really simple wedding. There will be a short ceremony, followed by our reception. Were serving cake, light snacks, meat and cheese trays, fruit and vegetable trays, punch, water, and iced tea. We will have enough food and drinks for everyone. Although we can afford a big wedding, we've chosen to not have one, because of the expense. We would rather save our money for our future, versus wasting thousands on just one day out of our life. Now were facing some backlash, because of our decisions. Some say were being rude, and some are saying that were being inconsiderate. I don't think were being rude or inconsiderate. I thought that the purpose of a wedding was to invite people to come and celebrate our life together. I never thought we would be looked down upon for wanting to have a simple wedding.

We booked a hall last weekend and put down 1000 deposit. Then my friend called our attention to a situation that happened last month at our venue that is quite upsetting... they had an outbreak of a very dangerous virus via the food. Needless to say we are having second thoughts. We know we can't get the deposit back but could we use the landscape just for pictures, not get catering and hopefully pay less. It could benefit both parties. If we walk out now we lose 1000 but they lose 4000 more. If we agree to pay, say, another 1500 for use of grounds everybody wins. Do you think they'll work with us?

Would you be happy if your boyfriend said he was taking you to the jewelry store so you could pick out your engagement ring together?

We are finally getting married this month. My fiance and I had a big fight. One told people we had a lengthy engagement due to turmoil in our relationship. The other thinks that's a socially awkward statement, embarrassing, an invasion of privacy and just TMI! Instead we should just agree to wave off the question by saying we were in no rush. But is that not dishonest?

My dad passed away not long after I was born. My mom never remarried, and my older brother has been the biggest male role model I had growing up. I'm getting married next month, and asked my brother if he would walk me down the aisle. I also want to do a brother-sister dance, since I obviously can't do a father-daughter one. I haven't been able to come up with a good song for that. Any suggestions? I would love something with a lot of meaning, because he helped me through so much while we were growing up, and I would also like it to be a thank you for always being there for me no matter what he had going on. Thanks in advance

Which one do you think is better for a walk down the aisle? Pure Imagination fro Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory or When you Wish upon a star from Pinocchio or would you just do cannon in d? I wanted to do Pure Imagination because Willy Winks is one of my mom s favorite movies and she passed away and won t see me get married. Thought it would be a nice touch but I guess I could always play it somewhere else in the day. I like When You Wish Upon a star because my theme is fairytale and I think this song represents Disney to me. If I m not mistaken don t they always play it at the beginning of a Disney movie. Seems like it just fits. Or maybe I should have my flower girl walk out to that and then I walk out to pure imagination. What do you think?

I m having my wedding reception in my fiance s parent s backyard, but my fiancé is saying that we cannot have alcohol at it (champagne, wine, beer) because the HOA doesn t allow it and his parents will get fined. Is that even a thing??

I set my wedding date last year to give us time to get everything arranged and to pay for the venue, etc. Saves the dates were sent out with the date. Both families knew. My fiancés parents offered to pay to help us out, but we told them we would prefer to pay for our own wedding. My stepsister got engaged not long after we set our date. My dad started asking if I would be willing to share the date and venue with them because he and his wife can't afford to pay and she and her fiancé don't have a lot of money for an expensive wedding. I said no. She and I are not close and I cannot imagine sharing the day with her of all people. So my dad took out a loan for her wedding and then helped her book a venue for the same date as mine. Then he tells me they can't make it to both and I should reschedule my wedding so she can have her day. Was I wrong saying no to changing my date? Would it be wrong to tell him not to bother coming (he's told me if I make him choose between weddings, he will choose hers)? Should I still invite him? I think they were probably hoping for a free wedding because we're paying. She did it before with a birthday party. Her exBFF ended up paying for everything apart from my stepsisters dress. She's told me herself, too. She sent me a lovely text about it (apparently my dad gave her my number) and was pretty smug about the whole thing. I'm not too worried about family. I'm pretty sure my dads family would come to mine. I don't think they would be invited anyway.

My fiances parents are very stubborn. This makes it very difficult to talk to them, as they are angry allot of the time/don't want to hear anything we say. Recently her father has decided that he wants nothing to do with paying for the wedding. He said screw you to us. I'm fine with him not paying, but the level of rudeness it was said did upset me. I felt like he could have rationally explained his points on why he's not paying. On top of that, he also is demanding money for the money he paid for my fiances college, and other expenses he thinks she owes. I feel annoyed that 1) He's being a jerk to me/demanding this money when no one agreed to give it him and 2) I'm paying for the wedding, and also the bills he thinks we owe/he's double dipping. I've strongly considered not paying, and saying fine you didn't want to pay for the wedding/were rude to me I'm zeroing out all the money she owes you. We aren't giving you a penny, and you didn't either so that's it. What do you think?

me and my man {{{keshawn}}} talk bout get married, we want a big wedding but we cant agree where it and gone happen, he want to get married in place we went to together (walmart, downtown bus plaza, county jail) but it seem like its a lot red tape to get them, I want to do more traditional such as at the petting zoo or inside the cemetery, please help us settle our difference so we can have our wedding?!?!!?

My brother is not coming to my sisters wedding due to his drug problems and I wondered if this is common for a sibling to miss. In my brothers case he was invited but is on probation and the wedding is out of state.

I'm one month away from getting married and I just want to know if you have been in the same process or are already married. How bad did things get? I mean from both being stressed out and nervous. Any stories or feedback would be welcomed. Thanks!
