My fiance keeps picking fights with me and it seems like everyday it s a new fight. What should I do? It s starting to concern me.

Who attends the rehearsal dinner (the bridesmaids/groomsmens) but do their family member attend? Like girlfriends, boyfriends, husbands, wives, children?! Who pays for the dinner, them or bride and groom?! Also is it necessary to have a dinner?!

If you should send a gift, do you do it when you send the RSVP that you can't attend. Or do you send it closer to the date of the wedding. A cousin is getting married and it's too far and too costly for me to attend with transportion and hotel fees included.

We are eloping in 2 weeks with my children present. We have invited everyone to the informal engagement picnic thrown by his sister this coming weekend. We are eloping because we have just bought a house, we have no money, every penny went to the down payment, it's all gone, we are paycheck to paycheck now which is extremely tight. Everyone wanted to attend a big wedding, we are now considered skimpers on the big day,and have even been labelled as white trash by some relatives due to the lack of a "real" wedding. We need this house to live in for the kids so they have a home. They all know we are getting married- just not when- to avoid "offending" the family on both sides because they are not invited. Eloping is the best way, we want to make it right and official in the eyes of God. We love each other. We are rock solid and stable. We are perfect for each other and we know it. My question is how do we politically correctly announce the wedding after it's over?
