I am not into myself but I don’t want to miss important moments. It is an Important day and I want to be able to document everything so I can weed out the photos I don’t want to be around. My fiancee and I are paying for the wedding. Don’t be so critical please, I was hoping to get some advice.
@cjsmummy… thank you!!! I am planning all by myself and really dont have any idea. im just sort of guessing. you are very helpful!!

I will be attending a Hare Krishna wedding in a few weeks, and I’d like to congratulate the bride and groom with something appropriate.

What is the appropriate thing to say? I’m guessing it would be the same for mainstream Hindu as it would for Hare Krishna, but I have no idea. Please help!

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’ve been to weddings where the bride and groom leave at like 10pm and the wedding goes on until midnight. Where do they go to? A hotel? Straight to the airport for the honeymoon?

Mothers of bride and groom are wearing traditional beige colors. It’s a formal wedding and I want to look nice, but not inappropriate. Will the teal jewel tone color be too much?

What’s the etiquette for giving money as a present to the bride and groom? The wedding is coming up soon and I wanted to give them money since they’re a younger couple just starting out from college.

I guess I’ve heard of this before, but my husband and I didn’t do this, and most people I know didnt. My cousin’s getting married, and has spent WAY too much money on their wedding so far, and is now stressing over what to get for the bride and groom gifts….?! She said, "we’re only spending just 0 on each other"… I think it’s ridiculous, but is that just me? They had to take out a loan to pay for the thing to begin with…

My fiancee and myself are moving to the Big Island in Sept of 2009. We want to get married the following March, Are there any wedding planning websites? I have found some but it looks to be only for a ceremony for the bride and groom. We will have about 10-15 attending so looking for a little bit more than just a basic ceremony for us two.

Hi, I’m a starting photographer and I have my first wedding booked in May. I have a meeting with the bride and groom Friday. I have a list of questions to ask such as the first dance, time of the reception, etc. I also have a contract, portfolio and photography checklist to bring with me. Is there anything else that I need so I don’t look like an unorganized idiot?

I have read that the gift value should reflect the wedding, and money spend for my dinner/drinks etc.
they are having an Outdoor wedding in a Public park, meaning no alcohol, with a potluck bbq, (meaning my gift value would be about ) I am not rich, but am willing to spend $ because I am a close friend of the bride and groom.
my relationship is very close friends with both bride, and groom.
