I know they are no longer close but I can't see him refusing to be there, his son would have wanted him to go.

Hi! I am interested in the bell tower venue in Houston. They will not send anyone pricing through email and i don't wanna waste my time driving over there or leaving work early if it's not in my budget! I'm looking for reception for 100 people. Also do you have a bridal suite? Grooms quarters?  I know they have multiple weddings a day so I'm guessing no? Does anyone know the pricing? THEY DO NOT LIST PRICES ON THEIR WEBSITE

I am throwing a bridal shower for my older sister who is getting married in three months. I am paying for everything. I was visiting my aunt and two cousins last night, when they asked me what kind of food I am having served. I told them sandwiches, fries, soup. It's ten people that are attending, but the place I am having it held is expensive. The wedding planner who works there is the one who suggested the food I picked. She told me it's a big deal, right now. Plus they really didn't have any other food that I cared for on a special menu that they offer for this kind of party. I got mad at all three of them, because I didn't think that was right for them to make such comments. Now, I am having doubts if I chose the right food. They are getting in my head. Didn't I choose the right food?? @merlin How can it be afternoon tea when it is a bridal shower? And there is cake and coffee being served later on. I just want to give everyone an actual meal. It's no different for finger food to be served, just like sandwiches are always served.

I need advice on this since my girlfriend and I are starting to consider eloping. We haven't gone into thorough conversation about it because I want her to come to her own decision about it and I'll support her on whatever she decides. Our situation is a bit complex, In the two years we've been together her parents and I haven't had the best relationship. They didn't want her to be with me because they loved her ex and I guess I wasn't up to their standards and they never really tried to get to know me up until a few months ago. Apart from them I get along with most of her family and friends. My family is pretty much limited to my parents and my siblings and a handful of friends. We've been engaged for two months and in between work and everything day to day haven't discussed any wedding stuff seriously. She brought up eloping kind of playfully and I didn't press her on it. I want her to have the ceremony because I feel like it's something she'll regret if we don't have it, but is it REALLY that important in your opinion?
