A friend of mine and my Fiancé recently got certified to marry us and we were wondering can he still marry us but do so at the court house? we are trying to save money and felt we could save a lot by cutting out the ceremony but have the reception still.

So he was engaged and still has the ring. We're together now and ex is forgotten. However he still has the ring and personally I think it's really nice. It's a full carat solitaire set. Do you think it's weird to sort of hope he proposes with it? At the same time I'm worried it's a bad omen to have the same ring. He said he'd never buy a ring so expensive again and while I'm sure it's vain I feel like receiving a cheaper ring means he loves me less when financially we are in the same spot. I just don't know how to feel about the ring I guess. He doesn't want to sell it because he can't get what he paid for it. What do you think?

My dad has been with his fiancee for ten years - I've known her for about nine and generally like her, although things are still awkward. She was planning a surprise party for his fiftieth which was actually going to be a surprise wedding, but some family members were uncomfortable with the idea of it being a surprise so now it is public info that my dad's birthday party will also be a wedding. My dad definitely expects me to get him a gift. But now I'm getting nervous because I feel like I need to get something bigger/more geared towards him and his soon-to-be-wife. But it's not like a normal wedding where I can get them house stuff - they've been together for a decade. I'm at a loss. Any tips would be appreciated.

Recently a hospital stopped playing Braham's Lullaby when a baby is born, because women may hear it who have had a miscarriage or abortion.

Is 100 dollars enough for a wedding gift to a cousin when I will not be able to travel to her overseas wedding? She sent a joint invitation to my mother and I. She will be coming to my wedding.
