I'm getting married in March, but my father died when I was 17. I wish I could have him walk me down the aisle and have a father- daughter dance but unfortuneatly that's not possible. So I was talking the other day about how to include his memory in my wedding. My soon to be mother in law is pretty insistent that I shouldn't have any sort of moments dedicated to him because she says a wedding should be happy, many guests never met him, and especially bc of the circumstances around his death. My father was an alcoholic for most of his adult life (partly I think bc he was a veteran) and ended up dying of liver disease. But, he honestly was such a good man and an even better father who loved his family. He was even so dedicated to never losing control around us kids that I never knew about his struggles with alcoholism until I was at least 13. I can understand her opinion and I don't want to put a damper on people having a good time or upset anyone but he's my dad. I love and miss him so It just makes me really sad to think that I should just gloss over him on a day I wish more than anything he was here for. So I was just looking for some unbiased opinions on whether my MIL is right, or some ways that I could honour his memory

When if you say ''no, i shall not''?

To be clear, he doesn't have depression or agoraphobia or something. About a year ago my fiance's little brother suffered a bad head injury in car accident, and that messed with his memory, among other things. He rarely knows where or when he is. He keeps talking about my fiance's mother as if she were still alive. (She died in the same car accident he was injured in). This upsets people. I don't want him at our wedding, because he will just stress people out. My fiance says she doesn't have much family left. What do y'all think?

He's already accepted that he has no choice in this matter. He's wearing a white satin wedding dress to match mine and we both will have our heads and faces covered in white Islamic niqabs just for the look. Think we should go for it?

My fiancé is in the military, and we have been long distance for a long time. We are ready to get married, but there is not a good time to have a ceremony right now. We were thinking of having a courthouse wedding, and a ceremony later. We want to do this to show our love for each other, and the military also have great benefits. I want to walk down the isle and have my first dance. I want all the wedding things but we can not afford it right now, and we don't have time. Opinions on this? Is it possible to have a courthouse wedding, and then having a real ceremony later?

We have been together 2 years, just got engaged. He does have photos of us all over his social media and people know we are together, BUT he doesn't want me to be his friend on Facebook or Instagram. I feel like he's hiding something.

One of them has to take medication on the daily and see a specialist this is not cheap. I want our own place but its hard with her dogs, its almost impossible. We are expecting and would like our place together. I feel she loves her dogs more then me any suggestions.

I'd like to know what a traditional Persian wedding ceremony would involve. Particularly the older ones. Any information on Royal Persian weddings would be welcome too. Thanks in advance :) Google doesn't give me the answers I'm looking for, it keeps giving me modern day weddings instead of old ones

Ok, so about 5 weeks back I started falling for someone else. I felt so guilty I told my fiancé the truth immediately when he came home(we are long distance until we get married in 10 months). At the time that I was dealing with a lot, not justifying, just why I think I did it. I found out I had a tumor in my head and have been on strong meds since that are messing with my head. That week was when I began to talk to the other man. When my fiancé came home 3 weeks later, I told him that I had doubts because of my future(which is also true and maybe another reason why I did it), and that I had met someone else that made me think I had doubts. We talked this through extensively and I realized that I had no feelings for this person I just missed my fiancé and liked the attention. My fiancé forgave me, and appreciated my honesty, he says he's sure we can work through anything, that our love is real. What my fiancé doesn't know is that when the other man said goodbye to me I was drunk at a party and after that, he kissed me and we had sex. I regretted it instantly, cried for hours, and immediately confessed to my priest and seeked mental health guidance. Now I am at a loss whether to tell my fiancé, he knows i fell for someone else, and knows it actually meant nothing, and the same is still true. Only now we had sex.. but the same is true, I love my fiancé and I will be the best wife I can be and continue to seek help to deal with my own guilt. Should I tell him the new updates? Also substance abuse? I found out I was dying, I made a mistake with the alcohol yes, but was very emotional and dealing with the news wrongly I know that. And to clarify, the goodbye with the other man was after my fiance and I had had the extensive talk, so when he forgave me that was the whole truth. Now he was gone again and will not be back for months. If i ever tell him I will wait until in person, not for my own benefit but to better talk to eachother. And have since cut ties with the other man we ended things smoothly. Since the night we had sex also is very blurry for me, i had never been that drunk before, so my motives and his is are spotty. I have been raped before and woke up feeling like that, but worse because of my fiancé. That's another reason I am not sure to tell him, and why I think I should get a handle on myself first. Understand why I did it, did I even want to? I told my fiance that I feel guilty because of my emotional affair and started telling him about the first kiss and he stopped me. Said he knows him and I are meant to be and that I feel so bad. He says since I was so emotional(cyst, uncle died, friend from high school died, and since he is in the military) and he himself was not there to help me, that is why i had doubts about us. Does not seem like he wants to know if i did not mean anything. But i still feel guilty. Help

We have been together 2 years, just got engaged. He does have photos of us all over his social media and people know we are together, BUT he doesn't want me to be his friend on Facebook or Instagram. I feel like he's hiding something, am I overreacting? I don't know if I want to enter a marriage where i feel like someone is behind dishonest and hiding things. Advice?
