Everything For The Bride

Please describe to me how you would murder (and hopefully torture) Andy Six from Black Veil Brides for bringing us the worst band of all time and perpetuating the degradation of the music industry. How creative can you get?

im doing a report for school and i dont know what the irony is, can you help me?

The bride will be wearing a white dress.

She will get married at a register office, then all the guest will go to a restuarant which is not exclusively booked to them, so other members of the public will be in there too, plus the wedding party will pay for their own food.

Then all the wedding party, including the bride in her white dress will go to a nightclub?

Isn’t this beyond rude or is it simply acceptable? Charging 0 per head count, a tad extreme? Seems to me this is a good way for the gold digging bride to be even more hated by the groom’s friends/family. Am I wrong?

I’ve never had a real relationship with my father, so I’m thinking about asking my uncle/godfather to give me away when I get married. I have this image in my head of a beautiful outdoor wedding, the perfect dress, and my uncle in his Dress Blues. But I know there are restrictions for wearing it. He served during the First Gulf War and has since been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Due to this crippling illness, he has lost a lot of muscle mass and is relying on a cane more and more. I’m not even certain if his Blues would fit him as snugly as they should, and I wouldn’t ask him to purchase replacements. Can they be tailored? I want to make sure that it’s allowable before I ask him to give me away.
Thanks so much for the helpful answers! (And the congratulations. I’m not officially engaged yet, but we talk about it all the time.)

My youngest brother knew and dated his bride-to-be for eight years (childhood sweethearts). They were engaged for five years and were in the final stages of planning their wedding when my middle brother, five years older than my youngest brother, met his woman friend and announced that they were going to be married. While everyone was rushing about getting ready for my youngest brother’s wedding, my middle brother’s fiancee announced that THEIR wedding was going to take place BEFORE my youngest brother’s wedding.

My middle brother had only known his fiancee for less than a year when the two of them announced their engagement and wedding plans. Everyone in the family felt that they were trying to upstage my youngest brother’s wedding by putting their wedding ahead of his, especially when my youngest brother’s wedding was in the last stages of planning, my mother was being fitted for her mother-of-the-bride’s gown, etc.

Was this fair to my youngest brother and his wife-to-be? Was this rude and inconsiderate of my middle brother and his fiancee? Should they have known better and held off on their wedding plans until after my youngest brother’s wedding, or is a wedding always between the bride and groom only and only their business? Should we, the family, have said something to my middle brother and his fiancee, or just kept our mouths shut?

I’m the maid of honor in my brother’s upcoming wedding, and I don’t really know the bride all that well. She just wanted to keep the wedding parties as family-only so none of her friends would feel put out. Well, the traditional MOH tasks are still falling on me – a woman who hardly knows the bride! (PS there was no turning the job down or the world would end).

At the moment, I’m trying to plan her wedding shower. The small and reasonable guest list has now jumped to over 40 people, very few of whom are actually close friend, and ten of whom aren’t even invited to the wedding!

Personally, I find it super tacky to a) throw over 40 people at me and expect me to finance this party, b) expect gifts from all the party members (even the ones not invited to the actual wedding), and c) invite ten people to a wedding shower -expecting gifts- while making it known that they are not getting a wedding invitation.

I tried to gently tell the bride that we should put a ”no gifts” notice on the invitations of those not coming to the wedding, but her mother got all huffy and insisted that this party was ”payback” for all the bridal showers, baby showers, etc. that the bride had ever gone to. She’d bought presents for those people, now it was their turn to buy presents for her.

While I don’t really want to argue with the bride, I find this beyond tacky and beyond rude. I also heard the bride say she wasn’t doing her wedding the ‘etiquette way’, she was doing it ‘her way’. I’m all for bending the rules, but…come on!

How would you feel if you were invited to the wedding shower of a woman you:
a) didn’t know that personally (say, you were on her softball team or were a distant coworker)?
and/or
b) didn’t receive a wedding invitation from?

Would you attend? If you attended, would you bring a gift? How would you feel about being expected to bring a gift as ‘payback’?

How should I handle this? I’ve made and addressed the 40 invitations as per the bride’s orders, but this isn’t sitting well with me. I don’t want this tacky party to be a reflection of ME.
There are no other bridesmaids. There’s me, and my 18 year old baby sister. She can hardly be expected to pay for anything – she is still in high school! My brother and his fiancee are in their mid-30′s, and still expected my parents to pay for their wedding (which is his second, I should add), host their showers, etc. The bride got a ,000 inheritance from her grandmother specifically to pay for a wedding – please explain to me how one cannot fit in this budget?
This is the kind of control freak woman I can’t stand, and none of this behavior started to manifest until after she had a ring on her finger. Blehhhhhhhhhhhh.

I recently went to a bachlorette party that i was told was adults only, i and two other friends specially made arrangments for our kids to be at other places for the night. After being there for a few hours the brides daughter who is 8 showed up. Her daughter made a scene coming in and started demanding everyones attention by literally saying look at me and my new dress, and i ignored her and tried to carry on with what we were doing. Throughout the night she kept barging in on whatever it was we were doing so i finally said " I thought this was supposed to be a bachlorette party with no kids" her mom just said " well she didnt want to stay at her dads" …….i was shocked that she would make a point of telling the rest of us no kids but would let her daughter come. We couldnt talk openly or even play cards because her daughter kept interrupting. I know she has a right to let her daughter do whatever she wants but if im told no kids then can i be irritated she let hers come?
