Wedding Planning Tips

I met this guy Monday at my job. I work in a restaurant and it was slow and he came alone and we talked for a couple of hours. We really hit it off, laughed at each others jokes, he admitted he liked having my attention and wished I wasn’t so busy towards the end. He offered to take me out Wed (tonight) on his scooter since Ive never been on one. I gave him my number and have been thinking About him since. I don’t meet interesting guys like him often.
He hasn’t made contact yet so I’m worried. Is this normal for guys to wait until the day of to schedule a time to meet?

We have been planning for a wedding now since May we are getting married December 16,2011 the whole planning this has been a miserable process for everyone. My mother has taken the whole thing over and when I talk to her she cries and tells me I don’t want her a part of it. Money is tight and weve spent about our budget without the cake, dj, tuxs, and catering. My fiance and I have thought about just getting married outside somewhere nice with an officiant and just our families. I already have my dress so a courthouse sounds tacky. Afterwards we could go out to a nice dinner, cut the cake there. And im thinking of just telling my friends that rsvpd only about 20 people counting a couple as 2. That we will have a cookout or something later on. Id rather spend the money on pictures and a honeymoon rather than all this stress about stupid things. Plus the BM cant guarantee he can come. opinions??

I was talking to my girlfriend, and suddenly she changed the topic and talking about wedding plans. She was telling me about her dream wedding plans… it would be so big that this space is not enough to write….Getting married to ur loved one is a dream for everyone.. but she is in a great depth of dreams. I would never break her dream into pieces. I gave my word..but she always talks wedding cakes, church, celebrations.. wedding dress….oh… sometimes it makes me crazy… but keep smiles on face

well somewhere bellow “The Wedding Singer”

Marry me instead please. Thanks.

Well for me, I’m going to a wedding dance, and going to have a blast with my friends! Were gunna beg for alcohol, then sell it to the teens that can’t get any. (small towns, lmfao) And I’m planning on getting my first kiss *fingers crossed* ! Then to top it , I’m staying at a friends house!
What are you weekend plans?

omfg that old fogie.

My long distance, (three hour drive away) bf has agreed to get married and he bought me a stand in ring promising to get a better one when we have time, he posted the engagement online and tells people proudly when he sees them. When I ask him when the wedding might be he jokes and says a date which is three and a half years in the future, I cant get him to talk seriously about it. He says he is being reasonable and many people are engaged for a long time, but this seems like stalling to me and I have felt put out by it. Also recently he promised to spend a whole lot of time with me then canceled just days before, now we only will see each other a handful of days in the month. He has work commitments but he is free lance and if he really wanted to could try to find work which suited us more, but he doesnt seem to want to. Now I am not sure I should agree to marry someone like this, in other ways we get on but I think we are not seeing eye to eye over this and now we are barely speaking. What does anyone else think? Should he be more serious about the wedding or am I being unreasonable to expect him to talk about it seriously in the first two months of engagment. We are not young so I dont see why we have to wait, as we are mature enough, or so I thought to know what we want. He has been married before and keeps quoting how he doesn’t want to make any more mistakes as that ended badly.

I’m engaged. My parents love my fiance, but don’t want me moving to another state to live with him. (I’m the youngest/last child left living in their home).
I have to though, because he has a full scholarship to his college so he can’t just transfer at anytime and pay the out-of-state fees. I am moving down there to attend college and his area has many more job opportunities than mine does.
I’m getting married in January 2012, and they won’t talk to me about anything to do with the wedding or moving out. I can’t tell whether they aren’t taking me seriously, or are just simply ignoring the fact that it is coming soon.
I have already tried on numerous occasions to sit down and have a serious talk with them, and they will either refuse to talk about it until “later” or they will try to convince me to wait a couple years (so I don’t have to move to another state) to get married. I’m not sure exactly what they think I would be doing in the meantime if I simply waited a couple years…
My fiance’s parents have given us the amazing gift of paying for our wedding reception in their backyard, our honeymoon is less than a $1000, and our living arrangements have already been arranged for once I move down there, so I do not believe we are being unrealistic.
Any advice please? How can I get them to take my plans seriously? I’ve already tried the “sit down and seriously talk with them” route.
I just want them to acknowledge that the plans are going to happen instead of ignoring them.

I’m getting married in a pretty forest with just me and my fiance’s parents.
Then, we’re staying in a honeymoon cabin in the mountains for a week.
After that, we’re coming home to a wedding celebration in my fiance’s parents’ gorgeous backyard (stone walkways, pool, gazebo, basketball court, lots of trees) where way too many people will show up and we will have a great time.
I chose this route to save thousands (I’d rather save for a down payment on a house) and because I felt too much pressure to make everything perfect when we were thinking of a traditional ceremony/reception. It’s not exactly what I pictured as my dream wedding… but it’s what we can afford.
Now, everything is so relaxed and I can’t wait! I love having no stress.
My fiance’s parents’ gave us the wonderful gift of paying for our reception in their backyard, so, all in all (wedding, traveling, honeymoon, wedding celebration), it will cost about $3500.
My fiance and I live with our parents (raised to not live together before marriage).
I picked the right groom
So, I have these questions:
1) Tell me about your wedding!
2) Is it your dream wedding?
3) Are you stressed out?
4) Why did you choose to have this kind of wedding?
5) How much will it cost?
6) Who is paying for it?
7) Do you and your fiance already live together?
Do you prefer it this way? Why?
9) Lastly, did you pick the right groom?!
And congratulations to you all!
