Ok I really hate my sister, but my parents payed me 500 dollars to be her MOH so I agreed. Now I have to pretend to say nice things about her and I am totally stuck. Can someone please help me?

My fiancé and I were thinking about eloping for our wedding. We'd rather put the money towards a down payment on a house instead of spending it on the traditional wedding. But we'd like to have immediate family there to celebrate. So by definition our wedding wouldn't be an elopement but rather a destination wedding. We are thinking about a Las Vegas wedding. My fiancé and I are in our early 30's. Our siblings are in that age range as well. Our sibling's families and our parents are all up for the trip to Vegas. We're from the Midwest so it might be a fun getaway during the colder months. Now to the question - who pays for what? My fiancé and I are paying for all wedding expenses: wedding attire, chapel fees and photography. We'll also take the family out for dinner afterwards. There's no wedding party so no one needs bridesmaid dresses or tuxes. Our main question is for hotel rooms and airfare. Should we pay for the guest's accommodation? It will be the two sets of parents. I have one sister and he has three brothers. He also has one set of living grandparents. So that would be eight hotel rooms total. We'd stay at one of the moderate priced Strip hotels such as the Excalibur. Not a place like the Bellagio. Thanks for your help or suggestions!

since the rate of heterosexual marriages has been sharply declining while same-sex marriages are increasing?

Their are 7 cousins and I am one of the two that doesn't come around much because our Mom is at odds with her father (my grandfather) for being an alcoholic. I like my grandfather but am just at the age I can go see him on my own (until a few years ago my mother wouldn't let me).

We are meeting with our Priest to plan for our wedding next Fall. However, he has asked me to bring a copy of my divorce papers and previous marriage certificate, as I was married previously. I only have a copy of the divorce decree. I threw out my marriage certificate when the divorce was finalized. We were only married by a court clerk. I didn't find out until after the divorce that he had only married me to save money on medical bills and college tuition, and never really intended on upholding the vows or even the obligations of marriage based on the Catholic faith. So now here we are...my fiancee and I want to get married, preferably in the Fall. And I know that we need to speak with the Priest first before planning anything or setting a date. I'm concerned that he's going to say I need to apply for an annulment from my previous marriage. I read online that's only applicable if the marriage is considered valid, which from my understanding it wasn't. Is a court clerk considered a Justice of the Peace? The previous marriage was more of a business transaction, and we never really lived as husband/wife--more like roommates who shared a one bedroom apt. At the time, I wasn't Catholic. I've only recently converted, and my fiancee is Catholic, which is why we are starting the process with the Priest. I'm really nervous about this. We got approval for my fiancees parents to visit and would like to have the wedding while they are here, since it's very hard for them to travel.

And what do they do?

My wife and I were married by the court in May 2013. We have two children together. This past March, she received her Sacraments of Initiation in the Catholic Church, as well as our children for their baptisms. I have continuously felt that we need to marry by the Church. We met with our Priest yesterday who has asked us to come back for another meeting once we have gathered our documents. In my country, it is customary to first marry by the court, then later by the Church. My wife has been fully onboard and supportive until now. While she still believes it would be great to do it, she doesn't feel it's necessary. She's always dreamed of having a wedding, and thought she would finally be able to have a wedding when she got married again (she was divorced in 2011). Most of our friends have taken what was to be a small celebration and have turned the convalidation ceremony into more of a wedding and reception. I don't know what to do any more. I have spoke to the ladies who are "in charge" of planning. I believe that this is why my wife no longer wants to have the convalidation ceremony. Any suggestions? I know my wife would want to a few of our close friends with us. What was supposed to be simple, is now turned in a reception for more than 100 people with catering and decorated champagne glasses and the like. That's fine for a wedding! If they plan to pay for everything, then fine...so be it. But we can't...we're on a budget and they won't listen. Neither one of us have family nearby, so our close friends have become like family to us. And they celebrate EVERYTHING in a HUGE way. Parties every month for whatever. We didn't have a reception to celebrate our children's baptism. We just went out to eat with our son's Godparents and had some cake at home just the 4 of us. While we do enjoy attending the parties here and there, my wife has gotten burned out on it. October was non-stop with one every weekend, sometimes two.

i purchased my bridal partys dresses as my gift to them and havent asked for anything but her prescence and support. However, i was happy to hear her volunteer to get me the "hook up" on bridal and bridal party jewelry from a place she used to work. i gave some $ so that she could use it to get the jewelry. She told me she was going to load the $ to a card so that i can keep track and i could account for the spending since it was my money and my wedding. Well the wedding is coming out and she hasnt gotten ANYTHING! she hasnt even mentioned the money that i gave her. i quit bringing up the wedding bc i didnt want to be too pushy. But its been months. No wedding talk, no money talk and no jewelry. I was just trying to be a decent bride and not put a lot of stress on her. : i gave her the $ months before she recently got her car repossessed. she pressured me and my fiance to go on a trip for her husbands 30th birthday. After her car got repossessed. She bought a new car after her car got reposessed and really seems to be living above her means. After all this, i really dont want her in the wedding.. not because she is having a hard time financially, but bc i gave her some money that she promised to be responsible with and she spent it. (She bought new boots and luggage for the trip she planned for her hubby...and this is after i gave her my money.) If we knew things were that bad we wouldnt have went and i wouldnt have sent her any money Please any advice will help

Our marriage is in a week and we went to a gentleman's club. My friends and I were joking around and we dared one another to kiss a stripper. One of the girls agreed and we made out. I was never the type to get attracted to girls but I just love making out withthis girl. We even exchanged numbers and she revealed she's a lesbian. What do you think?
