I’m planning my friends wedding and her cousin is a priest who they’d like to have conduct the vows.

They want a catholic wedding, one honored by the church, but they want to have a outdoor wedding as well. As Catholic’s are we allowed to be wed outside the church or does it need to be in a church in order to have your wedding blessed by the church?

So I am going with aqua blue, sand, and white for my beach theme wedding. I want my bridesmaid & MOH to have long flowy dresses like the ocean. I think I want a little train on their dresses. If anyone can show me some ideas, or links, or anything it would be greatly appreciated. Remember flowy and I need it to look ok on both skinny and thick girls. Thank you.

My soon to be wife’s wedding ring is a 2 piece set: engagement ring and a wedding band. How do I exchange rings during the ceremony? Should she already have the engagement ring on, and I just add the wedding band? Or should both her engagement ring and wedding band be on the ring pillow and I put both on her? If so, one at a time or simultaneously?

Its for a friends wedding and it is being held in Cancun. Suggestions for guys and girls would be great, cause my girlfriend is stumped on what to wear as well. The wedding is on the beach, so I’m guessing its pretty casual. Thanks in advance!

I’m wondering what the average cost should be for a wedding DJ on a Saturday evening for around 6 hours in the suburbs of Chicago or Milwaukee. I know a band costs significantly more, but what’s a good price range for a DJ?

I’m planning on creating my own flower arrangements for my wedding but I’m running into issues when I try to calculate costs. I have no idea how many flowers I need for the arrangements. Does anyone have any suggestions for ways I can calculate this ahead of time? Or know of a book or website that will give me some instructions? Thanks!

This topic confuses me…
Is the engagment ring traditionally more expensive, or cheaper than the wedding ring?

Why are there 2 rings (engagement and wedding) wouldnt that be extremely expensive?

Does the guy get an engagement ring too, or is the just the girl?

Does the girl have to buy the guys wedding ring?

Does the couple shop for the wedding rings together?

Also, isn’t there an engagement/wedding ring that is like 2 pieces, and when the wedding comes you get the 2nd piece?

I’m having an inside wedding, no matter what. What is a good fabric/style to go with? Are the lace dresses really more for outdoor/beach weddings??

Apart from the obvious (Monsoon, debenhams, BHS, littlewoods etc) are there any other high street shops that i could purchase for my beach wedding. I have 13 weeks (Getting married on 30th July 2009) in Barbados.

My dream is to have a basic/ simple silk wedding dress, A-line or empire.

Thanks
