Wedding Planning Tips

Ok so I have been engaged for a year, and last year my family (mainly my mother) had some serious issues with my boyfriend, he did get a HS diploma, but refuses to go to college, and myself in the other hand I am still in college and getting my bachelors, so my mom thought he didn’t Have anything good to offer me, which I completely understand. Anyway, they worked out their issues and then HIS family stated with another issue… His sister. She is 15 and wants to constantly be around him, when they go out to the movies r the mall or other places she pretends to be his Girlfriend… Which in a way bug me very badly. I don’t think that is right, but she claims to do that to do ME a favor… anyway right after that started a whole other issue began as well, Facebook. I have an account, and His mother always tells me that I need to delete it and that I shouldn’t have any internet accounts, which I think, should be none of her business… So she puts that in my fiancés head and we argue about me having one, and then I find out his mom and sister have one too! (WTF) anyways, there was a fake account made and that person kept contacting me and telling me things (pretty much harassing me) and everything the person said would be things that only HIS family would know, I automatically thought it was his sister (and I still do think it was her) anyways once I told my fiancé that I believed it was his sister his family tried turning him against me. They told him that he is putting me first instead of putting his sister first for everything; they claimed I’m only water when they are blood. Therefore I told my fiancé to ask our church pastor what he thought was right, and the pastor said that even though we were not married yet I should come first because we are obviously getting married. Then his parents said well yea but your wedding isn’t until 2 years from now so why should she be first, when we are your family, then they began to say about I would only come first if we had a child together when we are not married (Yeah, not going to happen until after I get married) then I talked to him about starting to buy a property and start building something together for US and our (future) kids, but he went and told his mom of what I told him I wanted to start doing, and now all of the sudden they want to have a business with HIM… (BTW he has been working at their shop since he was 14… he is now 21 & they had never mentioned that to him until after I wanted to do something with him) anyway back to the whole family issue, his sister texts him talking crap about me, telling him I am a ***** a whore, you name it! & he doesn’t say anything to her because then his parents would get mad at him. He lives in an apt that we have BOTH been putting stuff in, we both cooperate in everything and all there is left to do would be me moving in, but I don’t want that until we get married. After his sister started talking about me and being a B…. to me I said I didn’t want her in the apt, because every time she would go she would use my stuff (even clothes) & idk if I’m over reacting or what it is, I’m sick of it, and if I don’t get help SOON I will be walking away from the guy I truly love..

I’m pretty daring and I love adreneline rushes. I like to do once in a lifetime things and try new experiences. I have this list so far (no order):
-Go sky diving
-Take snowboarding lessons
- Buy a leather jacket (did it!)
-Go skiing in Colorado
-Go snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef
-Get a tattoo
-Go waterskiing
-Run a business
-Learn to play piano
-Crash a wedding
-Meet a favorite musician at a concert
-Sleep on the beach
Anyone have any more ideas? This is just for fun
Thanks!

I just started running again today. I ran/walked 3 miles down a looooong stretch of road next to my airport here in honolulu. If I run every other day (mon, wed, fri and off weekends) for 3 miles, when should i start noticing my weight dropping? If any of you are experienced runners/weight losers etc. please fill me in on details. I also plan to stop eating all of the junk that i normally consume i.e. mcdonalds, burger king (cries), sweets, and sodas.

Whats the excuse or
trick she won’t figure out easily? Because its an arranged marriage and I’ve seen the bride just twice. Where I live, brides and their
families may get offended and may
refuse to get their daughter
tested for STDs before marriage
because they think that the
groom is doubting her purity and virginity before marriage which is
considered a humiliation in
society. I am a careful person
with such issues like AIDS but I also have
a fear that this might mess up
my marriage and I could end up screwing it all.

Me and my fiance will be getting married on Nov 11th at noon. She and her MOH are doing all the food for the wedding so they are rushing to the reception hall to get everything setup before everyone gets there. I, myself, had planned on changing before heading to the reception hall as we were thinking of letting everyone change if they liked before heading over there. Now, my wife is stuck on finding something to change into for the reception and is thinking people will think bad of her if she changes out of her wedding dress for the reception(she lets alot of people into her head about what is the right way and wrong way to have our day).
We are not having a fancy gathering, it is just family and really close friends, so its a dressy casual if you will. Should she be worried about not being in her wedding dress for the reception? (this includes the pictures for the cake cutting, etc.) Also, her mother suggested she just wear black dress pants, but she is really unsure of not wearing a dress to the reception, and does it have to be white?
Im just trying to get some opinions and ease her mind a little, she has enough to worry about with everything instead of pleasing everyone else.

i want to know more movies like those crazy creepy animated movies. But not just tim burton movies and not coraline the movie . thank you

My husband and I have been together for 6 years and just got married last weekend. His cousin has been with his now wife for not quite 2 years. We sent out save the date invites and have been planning our wedding for nearly 2 years. They ended up eloping in San Francisco at City Hall a week or so before our wedding day. They didn’t tell us but sent wedding announcements out that we received the day before our wedding.
I guess I’m a little annoyed. I felt like it took the attention off of our day a little because everyone was congratulating them as well at our wedding.
Do you think this was inappropriate on their part? I mean, did they have to get married so close to our date… and then have the announcements go out to all of the family right before our wedding? I almost feel like they were trying to beat us to the altar although I’m not sure why they would do that.
Would you be offended or am I over-reacting?

They paid the deposit and now the next payment is due before we come and film on Sunday. It is a large, extravagant wedding, they have the money but are very difficult, I have given up to $400 in discounts and they are still asking me to skip my 20 minute food break and “tag it on at the end.”
The payment was due 10 days ago…the wedding is in 4 days. I can’t threaten them and then have a horrible time filming on Sunday. The video has to be amazing as they got a big package. How do do I do this? Any ideas?

Ok… so you’ve been asked to take his/her hand in marriage and five years later you’re still not married, haven’t started a family and you partner is looking to buy a motorcycle rather than plan for a wedding? After five years of being engaged, is it safe to say we will never get married? Was the ring simply to keep me on a leash?

My fiance and I have been together for almost 9 years(in a few weeks) since I was 15 and he was 16. I’m 24 now. We got engaged in October. When he asked me to marry him for the first few months I was joyful and happy and it felt like how an engagement should feel like I guess. I also was busy planning my sister’s baby shower, and then busy with the birth of my niece (my sister and niece and I all live at home with my parents still.) and very busy at work. So becuase I was so busy the idea of marriage didn’t really sync in yet. At first we planned on eloping, then my dad talked us into a traditional wedding, so we looked at venues and starting planning that then my fiance and I both decided it was too stressful and a big wedding was not for us so we compromised and chose a destination wedding. We planned and booked everything in April and May. Time has gone by so fast, when we got engaged “April 2012″ felt so far away, now it’s only 7 months, my niece is 7 months so I know how time flies, it felt like she was born yesterday. I just don’t know if I’m ready to be a wife. I don’t care about being single or missing single life or being with anyone else. I just don’t identify with being someone’s wife. I don’t know how to be me and be married to someone. I feel like I’m still finding out who I am now. I don’t know what to do. I love my fiance and can’t imagine spending my life with anyone else or without him, but I just don’t know about marriage. We both have graduated college, I’m settled into my career, he’s started his now that he has his master’s….I feel like I should feel like more of a grown up, but I don’t feel any different, I still feel like the same person I’ve always been. A year ago when we got engaged I think I thought I’d be ready to be married by now, it didn’t seem real yet. Now it seems very real and I’m freaking out. How do I know if I should postpone or cancel the wedding or if this is just normal wedding jitters. I don’t know what to do.
