I need a hashtag for my upcoming wedding to use to find pictures on instagram and such. I am very uncreative and need some inspiration. My last name now is Hall and my new last name will be LeMaitre (pronounced Lemater) some of the words that could rhyme with it are hater, dater (date her), mate, later. My names Tara and the grooms name is Matt. Thanks!

Me and my fiance REALLY want to get married... but, we don't want the government to decide when and how we will get married (3 day waiting period for marriage license, setting up an appointment..?, if we have our drivers license or not) We don't want to have to turn to the government to get married... So, can we just write up a "contract" that we're married, sign it, and be married? I've written out a sample "contract" just to get the feel of what I want; "This contract is a promise to the Lord, our God, that we will always be faithful to each other. In sickness and in health, richer or poorer, till death do us part. The promise to love and cherish on another in life and in death. From this day forward, [enter date], we will become one. Not in law, but in love, with the Almighty God as our witness. Government will not be the ruler of our marriage, the Lord will. Now and forever. We wish not to be judged for this decision to be self-wed. I, [enter name], swear to be faithful to my wife/husband. That no temptation may blind me and lead me astray. To be together till the day we die, and in eternity." Is that good enough? I know it sounds a bit corny, but I didn't know how else to put that we are committing to each other forever. That, no matter what happens in life, we'll always be husband and wife. I'd also like to take up his last name, but I don't know how to legally do that... I am also a Christian. So, I would feel really bad if this isn't legit... maybe I would be judged.. I don't want to go against the Bible..

I am getting married in a little over a year, and I have just begun planning. I decided not to go with a church because I haven't ever been to church in my life. My fiance knew this beforehand and also didn't want a church wedding. His mom, however, disagreed and tried to get a church wedding to happen, even asking the priest to come to where we are holding the event. She (mostly) gave up on this idea, but I was still very uncomfortable with how hard she tried to make it happen. The venue we chose seats 150 people nicely without having to have tables on the dance floor. We asked her if she could give us a list of around 75 people to invite, but she said how many people that can attend isn't up to just us. She wants over 200, and this would be inviting people my fiance hasn't seen in years/wouldn't even recognize. My fiance agrees with me, but he also wants to please his mom. I really don't want more than 150 people. Help?! I don't feel like I'm being unreasonable, but any other opinions on how to handle this or should she have more input? I just feel like it's our wedding, we are paying for it, and I don't want to have an extra 100 guests that we don't even know. Thanks!

Do save the dates and invitations go out to everyone? Is there any way to combine the two so we can figure out who is planning on going and who isn't? Seems like a waste of money to send both to everyone knowing that most won't be in attendance. Suggestions appreciated!

This is becoming a trend amongst my friends and it really bothers me. I have several friends who have planned a big wedding, gotten impatient and had a courthouse wedding, but still went through with the big wedding and ceremony. The one coming up is about 8 months after the actual legal wedding. The invitations in no way indicate the couple is already married, and the ceremony will also go forward in this way. Is it wrong that this bothers me? These people still expect gifts, and for everyone to gush over the "newlyweds". I understand that there are somewhat legitimate situations where this might be okay; for example military spouses getting married overseas, or for insurance purposes, etc. This is NOT one of those situations. The couple simply got impatient. I feel that this is wrong and they want to have their cake and eat it too. All I can think of is how much I will roll my eyes at the "bachelor" party and when wedding toasts are given like the couple was just married. Am I crazy here?

i want my best friend to be my maid of honor, but im worried my sister will think she is supposed to be. dose it matter? how do i handle if she thinks she is? or should i just have my sis instead of my best friend? and my dad is not in the picture, who is supposed to give me away? my mom? originaly i considered my brother inlaw cause i lived with them for 2 years, then i considered my uncle cause is is like a father figure to me. i started thinking is my brother supposed to? he is the man of the house now. im just very confused about all this stuff and any input is greatly appreshiated!

What is the correct way to wear an engagement ring and wedding band? My husband says the engagement ring goes on first than the wedding band. I say it's the other way around. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I just got engaged this weekend and I can't figure out if I'm allowed to wear the band with the diamond ring while engaged. So for now I have my band on my right ring finger and engagment ring on my left ring finger. Someone please explain how this works. Lol I'm so confused.

I just received a wedding invitation with the following at the end: "Private reception for family and bridal party to follow." I think it means I've been invited to the wedding but not the reception? As in, see us tie the knot, drop off the present, but don't expect us to fork out money for the celebration for you! Please, am I just misinterpreting?

My friend is getting married in a few months and she officially asked me to be in the wedding last week, she asked me before that but the first times there was no wedding on the horizon. Whenever she asked me, I told her I would be in it if she wanted to me to, it's her wedding after all. The thing is, I'm not really excited about the wedding, and as a bridesmaid, I feel that I should be. I know I'm second choice since her cousin couldn't come and I wasn't invited to go when choosing anything to do with the wedding. I understand that too many opinions make decisions like that difficult and she probably wanted it for her really close family and friends. I don't want her to think she has to have me as her bridesmaid and I doubt I would get a straight answer from her. I would be perfectly happy busing tables or pouring drinks, I've tried talking with her sister about it be she's not really helping me make a decision. If I don't do it, she'll only have two bridesmaids. I actually haven't said ANYTHING to anyone about backing out and I asked her sister about the wedding since she's the maid of honor and more or less in charge. She hasn't told many people that I'm even in the wedding, her mother mentioned it to me and was surprised when I said I was in it.( that was a few days after) and her mother is the main coordinator of the wedding. I know, I should suck it up (aren't you a peach) and just honor my word I never had to option to decline, her text to me was basically "my cousin cant make it, are you interested?" I never said actually said yes. I just got a call saying they're planning on eloping next saturday. I guess that solves that.

Sh is so perfect in all aspects She's got the best boobs, looks, heart ❤️ Gosh, I will die for her. She's so beautiful How can I ask her to marry me.

In my opinion: The reason women will reject a guy publicly but then accept his proposal later at home in private, is that sometimes she DOES want to get married to the guy- BUT she's just embarrassed to be seen with him in public. Often, women will marry men for their money, and will definitely WANT to marry him... and they'll lead the guy on to believe she's proud of him, respects him, and finds him attractive and sexy and cool... (BUT IN REALITY SHE SECRETLY FINDS HIM UNATTRACTIVE, AND SHE SECRETLY ONLY WANTS HIS FAT PAYCHECK)... SO, then when that guy proposes in fronts of thousands of strangers, she's so shallow, selfish and embarrassed by the less-attractive man she's been dating, that she says "no" to him in front of everyone. Often these women will go home after embarrassing and humiliating her man, and go "actually, babe, I do wanna get married! Idk why I said no! Sorry honey! It was just a shock in the moment!" That's just her EXCUSE. She will play dumb and play innocent and pretend like she doesn't know why she did what she did (rejecting him publicly), but in reality, women are crafty and smart. She knows good and well why she did what she did. In reality, she rejected him in that moment because instinctually, she was not attracted to him and she was embarrassed by being seen with him, so she "distanced herself from him socially" when a bunch of eyes were on her. Thoughts?
