Cancún or French Riviera wedding?? My fiancé and I are planning our wedding by the summer of next year. My soon to be in-laws insisted and gave us an unlimited wedding budget which I am grateful for but I don't plan on going over the top ( I grew up in a middle class immigrant family from the PH while they didn't). We originally thought of Cape Town, South Africa where my fiancé would spend most of his childhood vacationing and visiting relatives. We changed our minds because the weather there would be the complete opposite during the summer. In Cancún, the ceremony would be obviously be at the beach and hotel. There's lots to do and it is much cheaper. We'd honeymoon there and its neighboring islands. I just dislike how not everything is include so there's more hassle with planning and reservations. The other option was a wedding at a French chateau in the French Riviera, similar to my in-laws' wedding who are French and Russian which was absolutely beautiful and breathtaking! About 95 guest are expected to fly on their own budget and attend the wedding and 45 close friends and family are to stay in the chateau for a week. It comes with everything expected from a wedding plus its own pool, tennis courts, garden, chefs, butlers, and its own water front after the wedding. My fiancé wants to honeymoon around the neighboring European countries but to be honest spending a week there with friends and family is really all I can ever ask for.

I love how I can be completely satisfied spending time with you, it doesn t matter if we stay in or go out just your presence makes me happy. I vow to always support you, the same way you have supported me through tough times. I vow to laugh with you during times of happiness and comfort you during times of Sorrow. I vow to always be faithful and communicate openly with you. I vow to geek out with you and tolerate your hobbies... sometimes. I vow to take you as you are now and love who you are going to become. I vow to celebrate your successes and overcome your losses as if they were my own. I vow to laugh as we get old and blindly search the house for our glasses. To enjoy playing video games when we can no longer walk, and to not complain when you can no longer hear. (Name), you are my best friend, my soul-mate, my advisor, and my confidant. I cannot wait to see how our lives together unfold, to create a household, and raise our children together. I love you (more).

What is the one thing you believe you spent too much money on or something you could've done without at your wedding? & is there anything you regret not doing? 💍💒

My boyfriend is coming out in his best friend s wedding. I know both bride and groom, for years. Whenever we hand out we always talk about the wedding and how it s going. However, I have not received an official invitation to the wedding. My boyfriend didn t get one either, (but he s in the wedding so that should be his invite, I guess) but his parents and sister got one (the groom gave it to my bf to give to his family). The bride actually asked for my address over a month ago, but the wedding is in two weeks, still have not received it. However, I saw the invitation and it says "entrance only with invitation". I am torn between going and not going, because officially I have not received a formal invitation, especially now that it says you need one to get in. Should I go?? Also to top it off, the groom is my son s recent godfather.

what do you think of public proposals? do you think they are a good idea? He Zi is an Olympic diver who proposed during the medal ceremony. I think its a good idea and I personally would want a big proposal but not everyone likes them. I think its a grate opportunity to propose at the Olympics because she will never forget her proposal. It also gave them more popularity. it kind of seems like he did it too soon because she said that she dosen't want to get married that young but if he didnt do it he would have not gotten another opportunity to propose to her at the Olympics. She can always change her mind and not go through with the wedding.she should not be scared that people expect a wedding. I would want a public proposal because I do not want to forget mine. I think its a big deal and it should be a big event. but I also think that when your dating the woman should mention how soon she wants to be proposed to, that will let the guy know that he should wait or hurry up. I would regret not having a big proposal if I didn't have one. it wouldn't mean as much if a guy did it after the wedding.

My fiancé s parents gave us money for our wedding and we ve been engaged for a year. We haven t picked a venue yet because I feel so overwhelmed by all the other stuff in my life on top of planning this huge life commitment ceremony. Working 50 hours a week and never having a steady job makes me feel like I have to spend all my time looking for a job or working, so I feel I never have time for wedding planning. Also, my fiancé and I feel weird about spending so much money on one day (or weekend), especially when we have student loans and a mortgage to pay off. We have the money for a pretty nice wedding though and his family will be travelling across the world so we want it to be nice, but none of my married siblings spent more than 15k on their weddings. So tell me, Yahoo community- is an expensive wedding worth it? Do you regret dropping 20k+ on your special day or were you happy to have had a lavish wedding?

When my husband and I planned our wedding, we knew that we wouldn't be spending a lot of money. We invited 25 people. We opted to keep our budget at $1,000 or less. We were able to pay for our invitations, attire, wedding rings, officiant, photography, food, drinks, and our honeymoon for under $1,000. We had a pretty good wedding experience. We don't regret keeping our wedding very small, and inexpensive. I often see questions on here about wedding budgets, and I often see staggering amounts of money being spent on just one day. I've never understood why some people have to spend thousands of dollars on things that aren't really necessary. I'm stunned that some people think that they have to spend a fortune to have a great wedding. To me a wedding should be a simple affair. Why spend thousands of dollars that you will never see again? Why do you think some people spend a lot of money on their wedding, and reception?
