My mom kind of ruined my wedding flowers. She didn’t mean to, but didn’t know that there was a way to preserve them. Now I have these dead, dry flowers. Is there anything I can do? Even if someone has a creative idea for what I could do with dead flowers to keep them somehow, it would be very appreciated.
Technically we are not married but have been in a committed relationship with a woman that I am madly in love with for just over ten years. We have two children ages 8, a girl and 6 a boy. We are both awesome parents. About 4 weeks ago I felt as though she was distancing herself from me, initially I had thought she might be having an affair. When I questioned her about it she became really upset but assured me there was no affair. I have always had a very good ability to tell when shes not being completely truthful or forthcoming. I believed her 100% and we made love over the next couple weeks that was as good as or better than it had ever been. Then she went on a trip out of the state to the town where she grew up. During her trip I became obsessed with the possibility that she may never come back. She seemed to ignore me when I would text and call and so thoughts of infidelity swirled around in my head again. On the last day of her trip we had a nice heart to heart in which she said I needed to stop acting weird. That I was her man and she wasn’t going anywhere. I felt relieved and couldn’t wait to see her when she got back. She got back, more welcome home lovemaking and all seemed right with the world. Two days later we were engaged in a conversation about our future wedding plans. We had to make a decision on deposits and what not. We decided not to give deposits and delay the day of our wedding. It was okay but it made me press her with the events of the last few weeks still strong in my mind I asked if we were making these decisions because we were being fiscally responsible or was there something else. I could tell by the look on her face she was holding something back. So I pressed again. “Are we okay?” is what I asked. She said “I don’t feel the same.”. “about what?” I asked. “About you” was her response. She said that she isn’t happy here and wants to move back to where she grew up. The long and the short of it is that she says she no longer loves me. She says that she loves who I am and as the dad to our kids but not as a mate or companion anymore. Devastated is the only word I can use to respond to the emotions I feel. Its been 6 days since she told me this and she had agreed to go to couples counseling. SCORE! It really gave me some hope and even though I had been sharing the same bed with her and really conducting our life as if nothing had happened, I have been an emotional wreck. My behaviors are erratic. One minute Im laughing and joking with her the next Im sobbing like a baby. So I had pretty much put my hope into counseling. She has a job that has amazing benefits and to her she is able to get 8 hour long sessions of counseling. So we had inquired about the sessions and out of the blue she told me yesterday that she is going to go to a session by herself first and then together. So now because of my erratic behavior I immediately begin to think that she wants to talk about me without me hearing it or wants to tell the therapist that she doesn’t really want to go to counseling and that shes just there to appease me. If I were in a rational state of mind I might actually be able to hold on to the idea that she may just be having a mid-life crisis and is directing her frustrations towards me, as has been suggested by friends. So I don’t know what to do. I sleep 3 hours a night if Im lucky, I haven’t eaten one piece of food in six days, I stopped smoking. I constantly have to bring our situation with her and I know without a doubt she is becoming increasingly frustrated with all my behaviors. I love her completely and with all my heart and would be willing to do anything to change her mind. I commend anyone getting through all this let alone actually leaving me an answer. Those of you that do however, I thank you.
I am helping my friend plan their vow renewal on a cruise. She is inviting family and just a few close friends. How long in advance should the save the dates be sent out. They would be doing this on their 20th wedding anniversary 2.5 years from now. The cruise lines like to have groups plan way in advance, like 12 mo. They want to give everyone enough time to save for the event,( on a side note her 2 brothers are getting married this year one close to home one far so $$$ will need to be saved for her guests to make it after 2 other weddings) but they don’t want to send it out too early. Any ideas from those who have done this before would be great.
We are looking to spend between $5,000-$6,000 on our wedding and I need some ideas on how to save. Also, if there are any brides in Louisville, KY reading this or areas around there that may have some contacts that provide cheaper services for wedding that would be a big help. I need any advice I can get!
Me and my husband just got married and I had to use my credit card a little towards the end of the wedding planning. Now that the wedding is over, I’m trying to decide whether I should save or pay off debt. I have a little credit card debt and my husband is in his last semester of school. So our plan is to spend the rest of the year paying off the credit card debt and paying off his last semester of school. The only debt we’ll have come January is our student loan debt. But our student loan debt isn’t even that much. I owe 10,200 and my fiance only owe $3000. However, we do not have a savings at all. I wanted to build an emergency savings, a savings for a down payment on a home and then our separate savings. Our emergency savings and savings for a down payment on a home will be our joint savings and then we’ll have our own separate savings. Is it a good idea to just pay a little more than the minimum on our student loans and put the bulk of our money into savings. I feel so stupid that I didn’t work on this earlier. I’m 25 and he’s 27 and we weren’t saving because we were traveling a lot, we moved twice, and we had a wedding. Now that that’s done, I feel we have a lot of catching up to do. What do you suggest?

My fiance and I are planning our wedding and we are currently reviewing our budget. We found a few celebrants that we are considering, but are unsure on what they will cost. I don’t want to ring them and ask about their prices and not use their services, because it may seem like i’m wasting their time. Any help?
