So I am planning a bachelorette party for my best friend and I am the maid of honor. She wants a relaxing weekend and doesn't want anything crazy. I have found a private lake house with a private dock to rent for the weekend. It's a bit pricey but I offered to chip in half of the overall price and letting the other 5 bridesmaids split the other half. The bride doesn't want anything sexual or off colored at her party. I am not sure what to do because we will be out in the middle of nowhere at a lake. What games could we play? What do I serve to eat and drink? and am I supposed to get her a gift as well? I love my best friend but this is breaking the bank already. Please people give me ideas, I have NEVER done this before...

happening at my wedding terrifies me because I'm a tradional sort of person? My question is, when a bride simply nods her head or says "yeah" rather than "I do", does that reveal anything about her character and her level of commitment? Is it an omen, a harbinger of an eventual divorce?

My family is cantonese and my boyfriend is fujianese. Lately, the topic of marriage came up, and my mom asked my bf what's the traditional way of a FJ wedding. My bf told her usually the bride's parents gifts the groom money as a way of saying now their daughter is in his hand, he would be helping the parents take care of their daughter. But my mom said the cantonese way is the groom gifts money to the bride's parents as a way to show that he would love the bride's parents as his own and help the bride take care of her family as needed. My mom is upset that my bf doesn't believe in the money gifting idea. She said that there's no way she'll let me married off if he doesn't give money. Not that my mom is aiming for the money, but she feels that the groom should be responsible and show that he would take care of his wife's parents too. I don't know what's the correct way to this... My bf was born and raised in the US so he doesn't see how it is ideal to gift money. He feels like that is saying I'm being sold to him like a property, putting a price on me. I am less Americanized so I understand my mom's view but I also do see my bf's view. That's why I don't know what to do in this situation.

I'm getting married Feb 14th 2020 im also staying for the honeymoon.I haven't been to gatlinburg in a long time.What is their to do for couples or newlyweds?
