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!!

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?

My husband, son and I were invited to his cousin’s wedding. We don’t see this cousin very often. We just met her fiancee for the first time last September or October, even though they were together for a lot longer. We don’t see this cousin on an annual basis never mind now. She is getting married for her second time in another state than where we live. We don’t have alot of money, and we have to pay for a hotel, gas, food, clothes, etc. It’s an evening wedding so I would have to buy an appropriate dress. What is an appropriate monetary gift for them? Keep in mind, we did go to her engagement party and bought a small gift, and now she is registered for a full bridal registry as if she were a new bride just starting out. Any advice on a wedding gift to top this off?

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.

My fiancee is more worried about playing video games than he is about planning our wedding. He doesn’t really understand everything about weddings and what all goes into them. I’m going out of my way to make sure we have a beach wedding like we want. I know he is excited about the wedding as much as I am. Am I wrong for being mad that he doesn’t seem to be as helpful with our wedding planning as I think he should be? I can do a lot but I can’t do it all my stuff. We’re both 23 and will be 24 when we get married.
Me and my mother don’t talk anymore andshe’s not invited to the wedding. She has always been abusive in every way she could. She even told me growing up that if I dated anybody she would kill me. My best friend who is suppost to be my maid of honor hasn’t really talked to me much in the last years. The min she got a new boyfriend she completely forgot I was there. She married the guy so I see her even less. My step-mom is 2 months younger than me. So it’d be more her picking stuff she likes rather than an honest answer. It makes me even more stressed. I’ve gotten to the point sometime where I just want to tell him either plan the wedding or I’m not gonna do it. I understand it’s a girl thing to be excited. I think I need to visit a spa. LOL.

My brother is getting married and i want to get him and his fiancee something funny/weird as a fake gift. preferrably something seperate for each. So when they open it later on after the wedding i want them to be like "wtf" then start laaughing. any ideas?

My older sister gets married in about 3 weeks and I don’t know what to give her as a gift for the wedding. I’m pretty close with both my sister and her fiancee. I don’t have an incredibly huge budget either, but still want/need to do something nice. Any ideas?

I work in a small office and for the last couple of months, have worked with my boss and one other person. My boss is getting married and having a large wedding, and he often speaks about his plans. I was a little surprised not to be invited to his wedding (I don’t know his fiancee) but I am not upset, and wish them well. Is it appropriate to get a gift, or a card, or both, for someone who has not invited you?

My fiancee and I postponed our wedding for a year due to unexpected finances. Three of my fiancee cousins step out of our wedding party due to the fact that we post poned it for a year needless to say they had purchased their dresses.Through out the wedding one of his cousins tried to take over my entire wedding. When my fiancee returned from Iraq we made deposits and went with the venue of our choice.That cousin became angry.Our postponement notice went out 3 mths before original date and everyone was still in for the following year when we notified. During the month that our original date was supposed be the family got together without me and my fiancee and two of my fiance’s aunts came over to our house to tell us that their daughters were stepping out. Mind you his cousins are in their 20′s and the only one who speaks for them are their mothers. My fiancee and I were not aware of any problems because his family does things behind the scenes.Two of his cousins voluntarily stepped out of our wedding and now expect payment for their dresses.My family and my fiance’s friends say their the ones who chose to step down we do not owe them anything. The wedding for next year is paid for. What do you think? Plus when we asked them for their dresses so their replacements could exchange them no answer just letters from their mothers asking for repayment.
When we asked them if they were still in for the following year they said yes it wasn’t till they were all together behind our backs they changed their minds three months later.we have been inconvinenced in finding replacements our other bridal members did not have any issues. Regardless the cousins won’t talk to us only there mothers also when the aunt was in our home stated being in the national guard was not a real job.My wedding had it been cancelled then everyone would have been reimbursed it was post poned.
We have been told that the cousin is the way she is and were supposed do it for the family. This family seldom called before nor really talks to us.
My fiancee has sent emails to one cousin but she has not responded.The other I stated her mother is sending us the letters but her daughter has not talked to us.The third cousin her mother informed us during the abrupt meeting in our home that her daughter sold the dress and wasnot expecting any form of payment.I will make phone calls today regarding the other two.As far as rectifying this sitution I highly doubt it..These people were kind in the begining so that is why we asked them the minute that they were in two of thier parents were constantly envolved creating a lot of unessecery drama. I can forget that because I do realize that some adults still act like children.Thank you all for your opinions it has helped me a lot. They have all stated they will not be coming to our wedding next year.
