I'm getting married next month. I'm 44 and my fiancé is 40. We've been dating for 7 years and living together for 2. People are starting to ask us where we're registered, which we're not. We don't need ANYTHING. We have too much crap as it is. The problem is, some people are not taking no for an answer, insisting they want to get us something. I'd like to tell them "Just give us $20 to buy a round of drinks on the honeymoon" but I'm sure that's in poor taste. What should we tell people. We really don't want anything, and I really don't want people spending their money on stuff we don't want.

I don't believe in that and if anything it can most likely ruin weddings

I plan on proposing next year and her and I have talked about it for sometime. Obviously she is going to want a wedding but I will be damned if she gets wasted and knocked up by some dude at her party before marrying me or someone slips something in my drink. I want it straight forward and if those parties have to happen before the ceremony then I am not doing the wedding. I am just going straight to court after proposing

Even if you're not engaged or planning a wedding, you can still comment. Some like photos at the beach, parks, or more artistic spots like this photo.

Ours did and I am so mad my husband laughs and says it's a tradition!

There are popular months for weddings but it seems that things are changing and any month is a good one.

I am my sister's maid of honor. I am so proud of her and happy for them and I wish I could do a speech, I even think I could probably write a good one, but I just can't speak in front of people. Once my brother and I started a little club, just within our family, that involved once a week one of us doing a super simple presentation. Again this was just for fun and just my parents and siblings were watching, yet I was red-faced and couldn't make eye contact the whole time. I don't want to subject all the wedding guests to that! lol Should I just tell my sister I can't do it?

I don't really have a great relationship with my mother, she cheated on my dad and left when I was 8. I'm 24 and she's hasn't really been there for me when I've needed her, and I'm mad at her for trying to act like a parent now that I'm all grown up and can take care of myself. I feel like people expect me to invite her to my wedding because she's my mother but I don't want her there because I feel like she's gonna ruin my big day. The thought of having to invite her to my wedding makes me not want to have a wedding at all
