So my friend is getting married in about 6 weeks and I have still not purchased a wedding gift for the guy. We aren't very close but our parents go back at least 15 years, when they both joined our yacht club. Here's my issue, he obviously thought enough of me to give me a plus-one and the wedding is costing his dad around $85,000. Traditionally, the gift is supposed to cover the cost of your dinner plate which is out of the picture, given I am a first year law student. They are registered at Restoration Hardware, Crate and Barrel, and L+T. I am kind of stuck on what to do. d Keep in mind, yes there are certain protocols that must be followed.

As a mother of the groom on my son's wedding day, I'll keep my purse in the trunk of my car and carry a small silver clutch bag with me.

The bride is 18 and 28 weeks pregnant. What would be a good appetizer, entree, side, desserts, snacks and beverage to serve? One of the bridesmaids is allergic to shellfish and fish.

Her 22 yr old sister told her twice that getting married at 18 is too young and that most marriages that start at 18 will not make it to age 30. The main problem is that we are deciding on what to serve to all of our 125 guests. What dish should we make (entree, appetizer, dessert, drinks, amd sides)? The 22 year old is a virgin. Would it be weird to serve mountain dew, apple juice, coca cola, and water for the beverage options? The 22 yr old is a bridesmaid and wants any advice she can get because she is the one planning the meal part of this wedding.

I want to propose to my gf and I want to buy her an engagement ring, but I want to use that same ring as the wedding ring. Prior to the wedding, I want to have the engagement ring upgraded. What is your opinion on this?

My boyfriend popped the question in front of all of our friends last night on our 5 year anniversary and it was perfect. My parents are not happy about it. I'm trying not to let them ruin our happiness and excitement but it's hard. Suggestions?

Been with my fiancé and he has a son. He just got a call from his sons mother... She asked him "can you take care of Mike so I can get my life together? I will come back soon, I need my life together?" ... This really hurt my fiancé. My fiancé is sad because 1. He feels she doesn't want him 2. He feels lost because he's finding his self as well but he's willing to take custody. How do you guys feel about this ?
