Does anyone know a good place to honeymoon?! I m from upstate NY and I don t want to fly, or be too far away from home. Maybe to a neighboring state. I want to do something romantic, a new thing for the both of us. Maybe a touring spot? Not too expensive. Help!

My fiance and I are planning a simple symbolic wedding ceremony. Were planning to go on a cruise and our mom will officiate the symbolic ceremony. Can we get in trouble for debatking the ship in one of the ports and just walking to the beach and having a short exchanging of vows??

i got engaged last year in june and since then i chose my sister to be my maid of honor.She knew from the beginning what that entailed and she was more than happy to do it. Fast forward to know i have less than 3 months till my wedding and she just started planning it. She has done nothing except meet with my other bridesmaids to ask for ideas, but has not put anything in motion. Now im at the point were im pissed sad and frustrated but mostly stressed. Ist it her job to do that? I told her id be fine to go to disneyland since she didnt plan anything nd she goes well im not paying for your ticket or anything thats on you. I was taken back and very pissed becaue she had a whole year to plan to save and here we are and nothing has been done. Im at the point were i dont even care to have a bachelorette party. When i try to talk to her about it she gets mad and says well you didnt tell me anything, and i did, and she blames it on not having money. She had two jobs last year, paid well, and lives at home and has no bills, what can i do ?!

I don't want to sell it because it's the most beautiful ring. However, others have told me if I give it to another girl she'd be insulted. What do I do?

My fiancé and I have decided to donate to the animal shelter that we got our 4 dogs from in lieu of wedding favors. I was thinking of doing just one big sign to inform our guests and I want to put a picture of each of our dogs, but I don t want it to look cheap and thrown together. Any suggestions on some good sites to use for this?

I was asked to give a few details of what I wanted and they would fill in the rest as a "surprise". First of all, my Bridal Shower was sad. It was on a Friday at noon, when most people are at work. No one asked me who I wanted there. The only people invited were my Bridesmaids and my mom. THE DAY BEFORE the shower, my mother-in-law asked if I had any friends I wanted there. Invite was sent out the night before. None of them could get off work so my Shower had 6 people. Those invited last minute felt left out. For Bachelorette Party I was asked what I wanted and was even asked to create a pinterest board of ideas. I wanted to play games and have "wieners" everywhere. The FB page created by my bridesmaids was even called "Wanker Weekend". We show up and there is nothing there, no games, nothing from pinterest board. NOTHING. Its been 4 days now, and I can't stop thinking about how disappointed I am. I kept asking if I could help or if they needed contact info for friends and family I wanted to be there. They kept saying "we got it". I had cousins, aunts and step sisters who knew nothing of the shower until the night before. Money can't be the issue. We stayed at a family condo for free and food, champagne was provided by my mom. I don't understand why they gave me an expectation and then dropped the ball? Do I say something? What would I even say? I just want to point out that I had no expectation until they made me have one. I asked to not have a shower and never expected to get a bachelorette party. It's like telling someone you're going to take them out to dinner, asking them for suggestions and then you take them to McDonalds. If you knew you were going to take them to a shitty drive thru, why not just tell them that from the beginning and not let them have high hopes for a steak dinner?

Naturally, it's not as simple as it could be. I met my (now) husband 10 years ago and from day one, his daughter became my daughter. We've been married two years now. I originally thought of "I Loved Her First" by Heartland, but given the circumstances, it seems kind of presumptuous--I wasn't there when she was a little girl, I didn't watch her grow up, etc. So what do you think would be a good song for a dad who's only been a dad for 10 years or so? UPDATE: First, thank you for all the suggestions--I already have two frontrunners! Second, I might not have made myself clear--I am looking for a song for my daughter and me to dance to. I may have jumped the gun on this because in talking to people, I found out that the bride usually picks the song. Well, no big deal because there's nothing "usual" about this wedding--just ask the bride's THREE dads!
