What did you find most helpful when planning your wedding?

I'm getting married soon and we don't want gifts of any sort, or cash. We are having a destination wedding and paying for it so our guests just have to come. we are covering planes, hotels food etc. so there isn't any financial reason someone couldn't attend. We know people usually buy the couple guests but we truly don't want any we both own our own homes and actually have 2 of everything already. Also we oth have very expensive tastes and we don't want to burden our guests or loved ones with a registery they couldn't afford or us being saddled with items we don't want. We want to put something in the wedding info that says something like. " Please don't buy us anything or send money. We have everything we could possibly need. Your presence at the wedding and your prayers are truly the only gifts we want or need... We are not registered anywhere because we truly just want to see your face there!" Is it rude to say that? We really love these people and don't want to hurt or offend them and in no way do we look down on them for their financial status, but we absolutely don't want to be stuck with lots of low end versions of what we already have. Could we maybe ask them to send us pictures of the fun they had at the destination as gifts? Also we're considering a few charities we can suggest for those stubborn people who insist on buying something Also please everyone understand I don't feel entitled to anyone's attendance. I know they may have other costs incurred but we've tried to cover the largest and most prohibitive ones. Nor do I feel entitled to gifts, I just know it's what many people do and given the group of people we are inviting and know many would want to. Also if we did a registry wouldn't it just be rude to register for the things we really want? Also please everyone understand I don't feel entitled to anyone's attendance.

Weddings are super expansive so I am trying to save as much money as possible I keep changing my mind (and it so annoying) should I go big like invite everyone and have a big party or should I keep it small I honestly can t make up my mine so please help me asap

I'm starting to think maybe it wasn't such a great idea.

My fiancé wants to get married once he gets back from his work trip. I heard it isway cheaper than an actual wedding. The great thing is about we can have two witness present during it.

My soon-to-be husband and I are not having a ceremony. We plan to sign papers and have a nice dinner with a few close family members and friends. We are going to Italy for our honeymoon and I was hoping to have pictures taken in a wedding gown there. Is that acceptable? It sounded like a great idea until someone commented about it s a bit silly to do pictures in full wedding attire without a "wedding." Would like some other non-biased opinions. Thank you!

I've been getting vocal lessons for ten years now and I really want to start my own business of singing at weddings and funerals but singing more modern songs such as Disney songs sung slowly or can't help falling in love with you, all of me etc. Problem is I'm sixteen, my singing teacher says that I'm capable of it and that I should go for it but I'm afraid no one will hire me because of my age. Would you hire someone at 16 to sing at your wedding?

You put your relationship status as engaged to someone on Facebook. Your family commented saying "are you serious???" "I don't get it" couple of your friends commented saying "congrats!!!??????!!" "If this is for real I will be freaking out 😍❤" why would they react that way about your engagement? Do they feel like it's not for real?
