I asked a question of how is the wedding of common-law married couples and got these answers:
1)If a couple have a wedding, they are no longer “common law” married
2)There is no wedding ceremony for a common-law marriage. In fact, there has been no legal paperwork filed for the wedding.
is this true?well of course I know there has been no legal paperwork filed for the wedding.but I mean that if two person want to live together as spouses and don’t do paper works for a formal wedding and they know they’ll be common-law married after some time,so can they have a wedding party where they celebrate their wedding with family and friends?
and if yes,how would be their wedding?I mean as I live in Persia and here the weddings are a bit different from european and north american countries(I mean about the cultural things about wedding party) so I don’t exactly know which things in a wedding of other countries are just for formal marriage and which you can plan for it in your own way.
mostly as I’ve seen on the tv the weddings are like this(exception of those who just go to judge and sign paper works without having a party):for example some have a wedding party where they walk the aisle,exchange wedding bands and saying wedding vows,bride has bridesmaids and the same about groom; and then they have their party ,eating wedding cake,bride drops her bouquet and etc…
what about common-law married couples?which of these things can be in their wedding(considering if they can have a wedding party)?
anyway can they plan for their wedding party and dress up?how?
P.S:as I said I know there is no paperwork for a common-law marriage so I don’t mean a wedding ceremony with presence an official capacity or so,I mean a wedding party to celebrate the wedding with family and friends and to announce they are husband and wife.
Additional Details
1)oh,it’s not my wedding.I don’t even have the idea to get married now,it’s soon for me .I’m asking out of general interest and also to figure out something.
2)the country is Canada
3)by the way if they can have the party can they also walk the aisle,exchange rings and say wedding vows?
Can You Give Me Fake Couples?

I want to be a wedding planner. I need to practice so please give me details such as budet, guest amount, place, flowers, etc.
I don’t plan on living together before marriage. I have nothing against it, some of my friends do it and I’m happy for them. For me, it’s a personal preference. It’s one tradition I still want to keep alive (moving in after wedding)
Are there still couples who don’t live together before marriage nowadays?
P.S. Don’t try to change my mind please, just answer my question 
How Do I Know If It’s A Couples Shower?
Tagged Under : Couples, It's, know, Shower
My wife and I received an invitation to a wedding shower in the mail, with both of our names on the envelope. She seems to think that because both of our names are on it, then the shower is a couples shower. However, there is nothing at all anywhere on the invitation inside the envelope that states this, and I don’t want to assume it is simply because of some rule formulated in antique traditions of etiquette. For all I know, the envelope was addressed that way by mistake, or out of ignorance of the older traditions.
The problem is that my wife has something going on that weekend, while I would be able to make it. In fact, I’d hate to miss this if I were actually invited. While I am good friends with the groom, and am in the wedding, I don’t know the bride and her family at all, so I feel it would be awkward if I simply said I was coming only to learn that it wasn’t a couples wedding.
However, I also don’t know how to ask them for clarification. If it were a mistake I don’t want to draw attention to it. If it were actually being given by one of the couple, I would feel comfortable asking them, but since obviously it’s given by someone else, I don’t know them well enough to ask such awkward questions.
All I’ve done so far is replied to them by the e-mail address provided that my wife specifically would not be able to make it, saying nothing of myself. I’m hoping that this would prod them into asking, “well, what about you?” if it were a couples shower. Is this the right thing to do?
(And, a word of advice to anyone getting married, if you are doing something like this, please be kind, and make it clear to the everyone whether they’re invited to something or not.)
When you guys planned out (or are planning out the wedding now), how were things going for you? Was the experience hectic? Was it a breeze for you? Or did all hell break loose at every moments?
And also, if you want to share, what is the best advice for those who think about marriage or want to get married, what is the best advice you can give someone about the challenges you face in arranging the ceremony?
Couples That Aren’t Married Yet?
Tagged Under : Aren't, Couples, Married, That
What do you think of couples that have been together for a long time, example: 3+ years yet aren’t married? I used to think WHY don’t they just get married since they live together and ACT like they’re married?? Then when I became one of those couples I understood. I am divorced, so I know what marriage already is and although mine was bad it hasn’t soured me or made me bitter. I am still very open to being married again. I’ve been with my bf 6 years (2yrs of that which we weren’t very serious), we’ve lived together 3yrs, we’re both 35 years old, have no children together, but kids of our own. Two of them are already out of high school, and one that is a teenager. We’ve got a great relationship with them and live like any normal family would. We just get a little annoyed when people ask “WOW! You two have been together forever! Why haven’t you gotten married yet?” or “So when do you two plan to make it official?” Both of us have discussed marriage and it’s something that both of us want very much one day but we are in no rush and are focusing on saving $ for a home and other things. It’s just not on the top our top 10 list of things to do. Is that such a bad thing?? I’ve never been the type of girl to have the big dream wedding. I’m more practical and say “I’d rather save $$$ for a home, than blow it on a wedding”. My bf shares the same opinion.
Wedding Planning Ideas and Guidelines

There is no need to work yourself up over the small details of the day. Instead, spend your time planning a wedding that is perfect with your loved one by your side. You will find invaluable resources to guide you along the way.
Wedding plans are actually one of the first major decisions couples have to make within their lives together. So, breathe a little and smile a lot! You did it! You are engaged! It’s time to start your wedding planning. But, where do you start? Who do you talk to? Where do you go to find everything? There are many questions floating through your mind. You’re worried about planning every detail. You’re thinking about so much all at once.
The first thing you need to do is to breathe! Begin by picking your date. Of course, everything else will be centered on this fact. Once you know when it will be, you can start planning the wedding of your dreams. To do this, you will have to know your budget though. Sure you can dream big and plan big things for your wedding, but unless you can afford to pay for it, it’s senseless to do this. Instead, wedding planning should be centered on a budget that you create for yourself. Some people choose to use credit as a means for having the big wedding of their dreams.
For others, simplicity is much more important. Talk about this and make sure that you and your fiancé are on the same page. Then you come to all the other questions. The who, what, where, and how’s of the wedding plans. Each person, though, is going to have their own ideas and thoughts. It is important to find a way to compromise so that you can both enjoy the experience of planning a wedding. Talk about your family’s traditions, your wishes, and your ideas.
Talk about the people who you want to have in your wedding party. Think about the cake, the favors, and the napkins. You can decide if you want to write your own vows. Where will the wedding take place? Will you invite your entire family or will it be a small simple ceremony with a larger reception? Oh, the options are just endless! When it comes to the details, you have many options. First, you can organize all of your thoughts and ideas in a journal. Or, you can invest in a wedding planner, again something that will need to be budgeted for if you use it. Or, you can find and use any of the websites online as a guide to wedding planning. You have many resources at your fingertips online.
You can organize each area of your wedding plans simply, easily. Then, you can take a step back and think about things, make changes as necessary, and be content with the end result. By organizing here, you will make the wedding plans much smoother, much easier to handle. This way you may plan the best event management for your wedding event.
