Wedding Planning Tips

my fiance and i wanted to start planning our wedding but a guy at h & r block told us that we would get less back in taxes if we marry… is that true? he claims me and my son when he files since i am a stay at home mom and this guy said that we would lose close to $1,000 every year when we file if we were married so now we are thinking of putting off the wedding for awhile but other people have told me that this isnt true.

So my boyfriend and I have been dating for a little over a month. Well we are both in high school and he is in a sociology class that I am not. Well in that class he was chosen out of a hat, because his friend nominated him, to plan a wedding along with another girl in that class and then they will have the wedding and be “married”. It is part of this whole project or whatever. Well the first day he was assigned to it he told me. I didn’t care that much but I wasn’t thrilled because I don’t want him getting to “close” to this other girl. Well anyway he told me that the whole class wants him and this girl to kiss during the ceremony. He said that he said that he won’t though. So I don’t really know but lately sense he has told me this I haven’t been in the greatest mood, like I don’t want him to kiss her. I feel almost like it’s not really fair to me. So here’s my question.
Am I overreacting to this because it’s just a class project? Do think I am being unreasonable about this? If I bring it up to him will I seem needy or weird? What should I do? I really need help because this is eating me up.

He wants to have 14 groomsmen…I think that’s an awful lot and I am having a hard time finding that many women to be in my wedding…what should I do? He and I have talked about that being way too many and cutting some of the men out, but he just does not want to cut any guys out, he has a lot of friends and wants them in his wedding. He has also been in several weddings himself and he feels like he owes them a favor so he wants them in the wedding as well. This is the only thing he really wants to have a say in regarding the wedding and I want him to be happy. But it will also be more expensive with that many in the wedding party. What do you think I should do?

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?

I asked on here a while ago about which favors people like the most and I got an overwhelming response that they like edible favors the most. So I came up with the idea of the personalized M&M’s in a nice little lace bag. They will be tied with a ribbon that will match the bridesmaids dresses.

We were together and never a day apart for 19 years, built a very successful business, and had three wonderful boys, then suddenly, she met a dance instructor 17 years older than her, and a friend of the family falls apart and runs off with him in plain view of my kids! They saw her kissing him, and my oldest followed them to a hotel… That was it, she divorced me, endless chatter about
not being happy anymore, we never go out, we grew apart, all the girls at the mall say follow your
heart, he is romantic, on and on…. So the kids called her a crewel duch bag to her face, and we divorced and separated everything. Fast forward four years, he has still not married her, she is living
in a house I helped her buy, and BTW I want it back, he is living in Boston and She lives in Utah!
They fly to see each other three or four times a year, but he has never sold his home and moved
here with her to assist with the very demanding business that one person alone can not do.. The
kids tolerate her, but have lost all respect. I openly ask her WTF is she doing? Why no marriage,
why no living together after all the 911 damage she did to this family of ours, and tell mr. Dance so
good he will need to move here next year and buy you a home, because I am taking my home ( in
my name) back! And you can go live at the shelter as far as I am concerned! Three years ago she
bought a wedding gown, he bought her a tiny $100 ring, and then nothing but excuses ! She said he
is waiting to retire, then last year he did retire, and moved here for two months, then moved back to
the east coast and took a new job! I can not understand how a Camelot story, and a million dollar
business, as well as a truly wonderful marriage, because we both felt happy….fell apart, but that is
life. All I want is for her and elderly broke grandfather of six kids, to marry, buy my house, and be Out of the picture. Can someone here explain this bizarre behavior. Why souls a woman leave what she claimed was a perfect marriage, and take up with an extended member of the family, commit open adultry in front of her kids, and loose hundreds of thousands in a divorce settlement that went 100% in my favor? It has been off limits to bring it up, but now I must take drastic action against these middle aged romantics…and it will not be a welcome event. please Help if you can.
around to support my kids because now I found out I have stage 3 cancer, and I will never tell anyone about this until it is too late to recover from. If I die, the boys have this house to live in when they are out of school, if she just is going along with a hazards midlife alarm like her doctor told me,she screwed herself really good! and will soon be homeless, or loose her business here and be forced to move in with him, if he is ready or not. My question is, what is going on here! I married her as soon as I met her, and we had a blast for 19 years and made tons of money and had it all! I trusted her totally, I was her first boyfriend, and she went off and fell in love with dancing and a dance hall guy, and has lost it all. She says they will marry when it feels right, but she also told a friend while crying, he refuses to set a firm date! All I know is I will put her out of my house, and hope he is forced to take her on bymthen, right now I see a childish

My boyfriend and I have been together for a while and we are making plans to move-in together next year, but our families are very traditional and do not approve of that. We just don’t believe that marriage is really necessary to have a successful relationship (and we don’t want to deal w/ tax issues, you know deciding to file together or not, etc).
So, I ask him if is OK if we just pretend to get marry, and he said that it might be a good idea.
We were thinking of getting rings and telling our families that we just are going to go to the judge, because we don’t want anything crazy like a wedding ceremony and all of that, plus the economy is not the best to celebrate a wedding.
But, knowing our families we know they will want a wedding ceremony and they might be even willing to pay for it, so now we don’t know what to do, at the end we just might ended up doing whatever we want, move-in together and call it a day… but I don’t know

my husband proposed to me on Christmas in front of all our family he lead up to giving me the ring by giving me other littke presents through out the day (tub of lotio,medicine ball and loofa) not romantic or well thought out. I said yes cause of the pressure of all my family and his parents watching. We d been together for almost 10 years. Anyways my mother told me it would be a good idea to insure the ring but my fiancee said that it was a blood diamond and any jeweller that glanced at it would be able to tell. While looking for my wedding dress with my cousin and girlfriend, my girlfriend wanted to get her ring cleaned. She suggest i do so as well…and that s when the jeweller told me it was a fake! In front of my friend and cousin! Its been a year now and we re married but i m still very bothered by the proposal and lie. Our one year anniversary was barely acknowledged. As well because of his work i had to move to another province away from my family and friends…i m super depressed and don t know whar to do

Holiday they never reciprocated nor said thank you , They acted like they were doing me a favor by coming to my home for dinner. the wedding was even worse they didnt speak to me or introduce me to their family from out of town , Now Thanksgiving is here and I dont want them for dinner my son is upset he feels this will cause trouble for he and his wife I haven’t invited them but they are so rude and presumpuous i feel they will show up It would totally ruin my holiday Am I right in insisting my son tell his wife they are NOT invited this year?
