Everything For The Bride

At our wedding, each of our guests is getting a 6 oz steak and chicken breast. I’m a vegan, so I will probably have pasta and tofu or something animal friendly like that. And my fiance thought he would just get a larger cut of steak and skip the chicken for himself. My parents think we are saying we’re better than everyone else by eating something different. I say, it’s OUR DAY! And besides, it’s not like, we’re feeding our guests the fried chicken and mashed potatoes buffet ya know? Any thoughts?

1. How much say do the parents of the bride/groom have in the marriage?
2. For what reasons can a parent say "no" to a marriage proposal? What if either one of them refused to let their daughter/son marry solely based on the other’s nationality/educational qualification or something like that? Islamically, is it wrong for the child to pursue the proposal if the reasons for rejection are trivial?
3. If one parent is okay with the proposed marriage, while the other isn’t, whose decision will prevail?

P.S.: No, I’m not getting married, or even looking for anyone. I’m just curious ^ ^..Thanx in advance for your answers.
Ma’Salam

my uncle is getting married next summer and my husband and I, along withh my parents and my brother and his girlfriend are all travelling the 18hour car ride to go tho the wedding. I was thinking as a gift I would make him a homemade photo album for the wedding…I make really nice silk covered albums. is this a nice gift to give him? this is his 3rd wedding…(his future wifes 4th) so they arent registering and I know he would not accept money or a fancy gift from me and hubby (he would never take money from his neices or nephews like that) my parents are also going to give either a nice gift or some money from all of us, but is a photo album a nice gift from me and hubby?
I’m not even sure if they are having a photographer, but even if they are, there is a 2 day party after the wedding at her parents cottage so there will be plenty of pictures from that to put in there.

when the wedding would be ready for the son? This is commonly quoted on websites linking the return of the Lord for His bride (rapture or second coming) with the ancient Jewish practice of the father (parents) preparing the wedding for the son, and so the son could not tell his bride when it would be ready, so he would say "no one knows the day or hour, only my father knows"

anyone familiar with Jewish tradition and history, please confirm or disaffirm or elaborate. I’m asking because of all the rapture questions today.

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 know its tradition to have the parents of the bride pay for the wedding. but what do the grooms parents pay for? ive heard flowers, the open bar and the rehearsal dinner, is this true? is that all?

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.

Just wondering if there is a formal title toward your daughter-in-law’s siblings. In both instances, the bride’s brother asked me what I would be to them. I told them I thought the groom’s brother became their brother-in-law, but that I didn’t know that I became anything other than a friend. Is there a specific title for the parents of one spouse toward the siblings of the other bridal spouse?

My daughter is doing a school project. She is planning a wedding and is need a sample of a bride’s letter. Not sure if it is to the groom or parents. But on her list of things she needs it just says Bride’s letter. Also does anyone know where I can find a printable line up for a wedding.

So there is this guy…? (should i even bother with him?)?
i was at a wedding (im 15) and there was this guy (he was the male of honor with a 17 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.

(maybe its a coincidence?) what does this mean? btw ive never talked/ actually met the guy. our parents talked though
i added him a week and a half ago on fb and he accepted but didnt message/chat me**
