again my fiancee and I are having a destination wedding and my parents and his thought it would be a good idea if my parents paid for my trip and his (divorced) parents paid for his. His dad lost his job and his mom doesn’t have enough money to pay for his in full. Should we (myself and fiancee) just pay for his trip? What about the reception? Who pays for what and what if his parents have the money to contribute, then do we?

I am looking for a dress the has a low back. I am going to have a beach wedding, so not too long of a train. Also, I am looking at sheath dresses, probably with an empire waist if possible. I don’t want to look trashy or slutty, but I do want to look hot. Any help would be much appreciated.
There are a few I have seen that have low, strappy backs. I like these too, but I definitely want the top of my back to be exposed because I want my tattoo to show. Also, I want the openness of the back because I feel like it very sensual (and because my fiancee loves my back! lol).

wedding dresses that cover my back.?




I have a tattoo on my left shoulder that is about the size of a hand that I need to cover because my fiancee’s family is very very conservative. I am getting married on the beach in the summer so a long sleeve dress or jacket isn’t really appropriate. Does anyone have any links to dresses that are more modern, but still cover my back completely. Lace doesn’t cover my tattoo enough.

My fiancee and I are near Cleveland, Ohio. We are getting married May 8, 2010. Were wanting to go on a honeymoon but we are unsure where. We are thinking about going to the beach but we aren’t too sure. Does anyone have any suggestions on places where we can drive to in one day?

Need help deciding on wedding attire!




Currently I’m trying to plan my wedding for next summer, since I’m making all of the dresses and such I started a little while back. I haven’t finished either dress but here are the pictures that I am using for inspiration.

The flower girls are the same, but I have made my dress a champagne color rather than orange. The girls section has been easy, its just me, Ely and Zoey (my soon to be daughters) since I don’t have any brides maids. The thing is I want to find ideas for mens clothing but I am having no luck! The way our wedding party is working is that my fiancee has his best man, and than we have his two little girls, his nephews the ringbearer and my son is walking me down the aisle, hes 16 and wants to match me more than my fiancees side of the wedding, not sure how to make that work…
I would love to find some mens outfits that are interesting (rather than just black suits) that would match our two dresses. I’m totally drawing a blank, I’ve never been very good at thinking of mens clothing…
It would be great to get some ideas, pictures would help the most since I will be working of them to make all my outfits. Most of all I just need some places to start from, and some original ideas for mens clothing!
Thank you sooooooo much if you can help me out!!!

Dates July 22nd (7 day cruise)
or July 29th (7 day cruise)
Leave from Florida

Fiancee wants a Balcony…Do you think it’s really worth it to spend the extra money for the room?

Are the honeymoon amentities worth it ? I’ve seen like for 0 you can get champagne, strawberries, massage, etc….

Thoughts, suggestions, and ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Disney???? Just for kids? Or ok for honeymooners? Disney offer Land and Cruise specials???? We will either spend 4 days in Disney world before or after depending on when are cruise disembarks.

My fiancee is in the military and will be deploying so we are going to get married in the court first and then have wedding later. Hes stationed by the beach and it will be towards the end of the summer. Im not sure what the dress code is? I was thinking a cute white dress with white wedges and a white flower in my hair so its not overdone and I dont look silly going to court with a big fluffy dress on but Im not sure how casual to go

Ive narrowed down my choices to these two:

http://www2.victoriassecret.com/commerce/onlineProductDisplay.vs?namespace=productDisplay&origin=onlineProductDisplay.jsp&event=display&prnbr=CM-217861&page=1&cgname=OSCLODRSVIL&rfnbr=2667&atb=C

^ in white though. I like this one because I have a longer neck so I have a strapless dress I look a little more naked than most. Plus its extra for a DVD of it and I dont know how much they will show in it but if its only upper body I dont want to mail it to his family and have them think I wore a towel haha

my other choice is this

http://www.target.com/Juniors-Xhilaration-Strapless-Bubble-Dress/dp/B001OCG4OY/ref=pd_ecc_rvi_1?ie=UTF8&pf_rd_r=0TSAAEHB24W9E8RJX274&pf_rd_p=447415501&pf_rd_i=B001NH44M4&pf_rd_s=left-5&pf_rd_m=A1VC38T7YXB528&pf_rd_t=201

I like this one because it looks like it can pass as a casual wedding dress but its not overdone

Any opinions?

How do I word the wedding invitations?




My fiancee and I are paying for the wedding by ourselves, but it is going to be at my dad and step mom’s house. How do I word the invitations? Do I put the address or do i write "at the home of____"? I’m rather stumped on this. ALSO if anybody has any romantic suggestions for wording let me know thanks!!!

My fiancee and I will be taking a honeymoon in November, and we need help choosing a destination in Central America.
We want a place that is inexpensive, has lots of tropical jungles and beaches, and somewhere that is not over run with lots of tourists.
We want to do some backpacking also.
Any suggestions?

North Carolina Weddings!?




Ok so we were thinking Bahamas then found out it’s way over-rated to get married there, so then we considered mexico but I couldn’t find a beach I wanted. So now I’ve thought about it my fiancee was born and raised until he was 4 in North Carolina. He doesn’t know I am considering this yet but before I tell him I want to make sure this is what I want. Can I legally get married on the beach in North Caroline? I want tiny and simple! I’m not close to my family and really don’t want them to come that’s why were going away instead of staying in IL. Can anyone tell me if I need anything special and which beach should I use?

Wedding attire question?




I told my fiancee that he could wear his Disney Hawaiian shirt to get married in. It’s a very casual, back yard wedding. My question to you all is…

If I can find matching shirts for the best man and ring bearer, should they all be in the same design shirt?

The bigger question is: since I can find the same design in a dress, should/could the matron of honor and flower girl wear what the groom is wearing? With me, the bride, wearing something casual but white/ivory?

How much should I budget for a honeymoon?




My Fiancee and I would really like to have our honeymoon in Hawaii, but we’re on a budget. I’m not sure exactly how much to budget for it. Should I consult a travel agent or just book it ourselves? We’re getting married next August.

Is a destination wedding a good idea?




My fiancee Sarah and I recently got engaged. We are both in our late 20s. But since we just bought a house (she lives in it, I’ll move in after marriage), we don’t have much money for the wedding. We want to do a small wedding, but my Mom is upset because she has 7 brothers and sisters, and she wants all my cousins to come. She keeps adding to the guest list.

To complicate things, my fiancee’s parents (Detroit), my parents (Battle Creek), and we (Mount Pleasant) all live on opposite sides of Michigan. Both sets of parents are arguing that the wedding should be near them since everyone is 3 hours apart.

My fiancee’s parents invited us on an all-expenses paid trip to Hawaii with them. The trip is only 6 months away. With all the planning stress, I looked into beach weddings and there is a wonderful chapel that we could get married in. It would only cost us 0 and it is exactly what I want.

Sarah and I are excited about possibly getting married in Hawaii, but my Mom is angry because she cannot afford the Hawaii airfare (00/each) for the family. I’d like to help, but I am not in the financial position at this time.

All around wedding planning seems like a mess.

How do couples handle the family factor with destination weddings?
