My mom is dying and I am trying to plan my wedding with the hopes that she will still be here for it. My mom also really wants the same thing. My sister, who is a maid of honor is fighting me on everything, ultimately because she is jealous that I will have our mom at my wedding and she wont. How can I make the wedding planning special for her so she stops ruining the big day for everyone?
My mom and I are starting a wedding consulting business and simply CANNOT come up with a name.
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?
I have a relative who I haven’t seen since I was young and I’m getting married in a few months. She asked my aunt to ask my mom if I could pay for the plane ticket to my wedding. Is that rude? And has anyone else experienced this and how did they handle the situation? I already told my mom to relay the message that I could not do it. Is that rude too?
I thought it was, because a "love marriage" is when two people fall in love and traditionally date.
People say arranged marriages are arranged by the parents, but there are a lot of people today that choose their bride/groom WITHOUT formally dating them. Isn’t it still arranging to marry someone without falling in love first or dating them for a few years?
What do you think?
Kessie-Even when parents arrange the partners for their kids, they still ask their kids if they like the person. If the kid doesn’t like the person the mom or dad chooses, the parent goes on to the next person.
i was at a wedding (im 14) and there was this guy (he was the male of honor with a 16 girl maid of honor) two years older than me looking across the room at me for the most part. he was dancing with his mom and looking at me a lot and when he had to dance with his partner (the maid of honor it would be short). when we had to stand in a line he decided to make an excuse and stand next to me. in addition when i was walking by he was staring at my legs. whenever the other men of honor were talking to him they would both look over at me.
today i was at the bride’s house and he was there. the bride asked me how old i was and i said 14 and everyone started oooing and the guy just smiled and raised an eyebrow at me. other than tht he looked over my way sometimes and smiled (at times). right after i left the house to go home he asked his parents to go home. (maybe its a coincidence?) btw ive never talked/ actually met the guy. our parents talked though
**BTW i added on fb him three weeks ago and he accepted but didnt message/chat me**
so i took the first step and asked him "hey wats up" on chat but he hasnt answered on been on chat for about a week now…did i creep him out or did he just do those things at the wedding to have fun….? (thats what my friend told me…)
yesterday i saw him at this store. he looked at me a bit but i dont really know for sure bc i completely ignored him. but his parents caught up him my dad and they started talking (and walking out) but as he walked he made sure he didnt look at me and walked at least a foot away from us. his mom just simply smiled at me and then my dad and i went our separate way to the car. I saw him again at a different store and we passed by each other and i looked straight ahead and he looked kinda off the side/down but we didnt talk bc i had to leave.
So there is this guy…? (should i even bother with him?)?

~Thanks a bunch!~
I am 23 years old woman and currently single but my parents told me the other day that if I ever got married, they would contribute no more than 00 to my wedding. Do the parents of the bride usually pay for the wedding or is not not how tradition works anymore? They said that since they had to pay for their wedding on with their own money (my Mom’s parents were both dead by the time she got married so that’s why) then I should too. Does that seem weird to anyone or just how it goes?
It started out in Walmart but not the Walmart we usually go to, it had a completely different layout and everything. I found a white dress laying in the middle of the aisle and it kind of looked like a wedding dress so i tried it on and I realized that it has a lot of black and red towards the top. Then i put on a flower thing around my neck. Then I showed my mom but she didnt really care so we went home without the .00 dress. So then when we got home apparently there was a wedding but it wasn’t mine, it was another girls wedding (i dont know who she is) but she was upset and getting cold feet. She was also wearing the dress I saw at the store but before it turned red/black. I gave her a tiny stack of about 8 half-pieces of paper and I told her to write down why it was all worth it. And then I walked in the other room and I finally found out I am a server, and then my mom was telling me that I needed to do something to make her happy. Everyone was focusing on her happiness at that point. I don’t know why my mom was giving me orders but then I realized since I am a server I was hired for the wedding. So I came back with some tape and scissors and I grabbed a stack of napkins and I started making a huge paper rose. I had envisioned it in my mind, beautiful, but I never really got to actually make it. Then the table dissapears and then her entire family is in the room, including my mom, and my sister. (My mom and my sister IN REAL LIFE have gotten closer in the last year because she just had a kid and my mom helps her out, and my mom thinks that my sister likes her but my sister is just glad to have moved out and have her space because my mom is a control freak, but my sister is nice to her. When I was little they used to get into physical fights because my sister was out doing drugs and having sex etc and they couldn’t stand each other.) So then everybody was dressed up, including me, I think I felt like a guy, or maybe I was, I was in a guy servers uniform but it made me comfortable. And we we’re all sitting down. The bride was crying. And then my mom starts going on a rant about everything about the family she didn’t like or hated, etc etc (I don’t really remember) but then everybody starts yelling at her and nobody really likes her at this point, and I don’t know, there was just a lot of yelling and then my sister (who was sitting next to my mom on the couch) she pushes my mom off the couch and then she smiles about it. My mom is then on the floor and she is angry and quiet. I then gave my sister an approving smile without trying to make everybody else mad. I remember I tried speaking up about something but then everybody yelled at me for it so I kept quiet the entire time. Family Drama.. but then I look to my left, and sitting with me on the couch is my Mom. But then I look on the floor and there is another mom. It didn’t bother me at first because I was oblivious to it, but then I did a triple-take and I’m like "Why are there two of my moms?" and then everybody got quiet. And my stepdad was like "I will tell her." and then everybody starts yelling at him to keep it a secret and then he starts yelling a riddle in a tiny book. And then I somehow finished the riddle and I realized that I had two moms that looked the same but had different names. Then I realized the one that I know in real life, the one that is grouchy and works all the time, and controls everything I do so I don’t get hurt, that was the "mom" nobody liked in the dream. But the mom sitting next to me was the mom I knew when I was a kid, the one I got a long with. She was nice and calm and always smiling, and we got a long and I could tell her everything and I know when I’m talking to her she is actually paying attention instead of staring at my face for pimples or she wouldn’t go into "mom" mode and judge everything I do, and possibly get in trouble.
Then my dream changed and I got my dream, I just ran away. I was on the sidewalk, running with my best friend, and then she saw a red bird in the air, and it gradually turned into a red airplane with jets, and then we somehow got inside the airplane and we sailed over an island that was France, and then we we’re in another city, and then we we’re driving by car and we we’re looking for our favorite place to shop. :/
I had no idea wedding planning could be so stressful!!! I have gotten into arguements with my Mom, fiance` and Matron of Honor. Now to top it off my Bridesmaid is not happy with the dress but to me via email she is all fine and dandy about it all. I’m just shocked at all the attitudes and opinions. I thought that since this was a joyous occasion that things wouldn’t be so dang stressful. Its just plain crazy!
