Wedding in Red – Perfect Marriage

I don’t really know what is supposed to be in a party favor. I really need help to create elegant and classy party favors. Something that’s not too expensive though. Thanks. Oh, please respond as soon as possible, it’s coming up soon!

I really want to use cupcakes as the centerpices for our wedding. I want to find one of those silver tired kind of stands, however all the ones that I find are to tall for the tables. I am thinking about twelve cupcakes pertable and them people can either eat them or take them home! Anyways, I am looking for both wedding and beach toppers for them, and espically the stand to put them in!!! I have done a google search and found one place by wilton and tehy were out of stock! Thanks for the help!

I am planning a June wedding and want to do white and red gerbera daisies. My bridesmaids dresses are clover green. I am in need of some ideas for decorations, bouquets, cake, centerpieces and such.. thanks!

My guy and I have been together for 2 1/2 year; engaged for about 7 months. We are both in our 30s and have both been married before. We both are bringing two kids to this relationship– I love his girls and he loves my boys.

We have a great sexual relationship and we really are best friends, but.. we do have some issues that we argue about A LOT- mostly, that he never voices his love and affection for me. I don’t think I should have to force him to tell me how much he loves/appreciates me. He always tells me that that is just the way he is- I should let his actions speak for him because he can’t (he buys flowers for me, makes dinner, etc); he thinks I party too much. Yes, I like to go out with friends and have wine or drinks- it’s not every night and.. before you get judgmental, the kids are with grandma and grandpa when I go out. I am just a very spunky, fun loving gal with a lot of friends in my life and I believe in living life to the fullest. He doesn’t really have friends of his own– a few guys from work but they don’t go out socially. My friends are his friends by default.

Our wedding is planned for mid May (of this year) and I’m really having some second thoughts– I know that I love him but I just don’t know if that’s enough to make this marriage work. Everything is all set for the wedding– ceremony, reception, dresses, honeymoon, invitations. I don’t know what to do. Is this normal cold feet? I was much younger when I married for the first time (and did not have kids) and I did not feel this way (although looking back there were red flags I should have seen)

Should I hope that this feeling passes or should I leave him? The issues we argue about now are issues that have been there since day 1 of our relationship.

Please help!!

I know everyone says that a cash bar is “cheap” and shouldn’t be done.. We found a bartender that is only charging $30 an hour as long as we buy our own alcohol… But we figured that since we can’t really afford it, we would charge people for the drinks anyway, just to make some money back for our honeymoon.

Now, I just got an email from the bartender telling me that his insurance wont cover a cash bar but we could do a “ticket bar”… where people buy tickets and exchange them for drinks? I’ve never once heard of this and it doesnt seem to make any sense to me but i figured since that is really our only choice to charge $4 of one ticket(drink), $7 for two and $10 for three… and of course soda, the first champagne toast and water are free…

Does this just seem completely wrong? I really need help. I already feel guilty charging for drinks in the first place but I wouldnt do it unless we ABSOLUTELY needed the money. I’m just worried that it will get too confusing for the guests and no one will end up buying any drinks at all…
sorry, i didnt mean pay for the honeymoon… i just meant help pay off some of our $15000 debt… i didnt want to have a bar at all, but people told me they didnt want to come if there wasnt going to be alcohol served…

I’m Having a beach wedding in Panama City, Florida.
And i love how on peoples wedding invitations they have a love quote but yet it follows the theme of the wedding.

But i can not find any quotes that pop out at me.

Please help.

We are a young couple. very modern. very spunky. so we are not wanting some old fashion beach love quote.

please help.

Any ideas would help.

Thanks.

I want to get married outside, in a garden/lawn setting or on an outside patio of a restuarant. I’m not going to have very many people at my wedding, just immediate family, so it’ll probably only be 25 ppl or so. My mom will be making the cake, and I will have the pastor at her church come do our wedding. I’d like the wedding and reception to be held at the same location. I want the flowers to be white lilies and red roses.

Any ideas? How much do you think this will cost? any help at all will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I am pretty much at the beginning point of planning my wedding. It is going to be something small with a party/reception after wards where more people will be attending.

We are trying to do this and make it as affordable as possible. What do I need to consider as far as music? I don’t really know anything about planning a wedding or what the “guidelines” are for what is done. When music is played, and what type of music to play. I have been reading that people choose certain songs for the cutting of the cake, first dance, father/daughter dance, etc. What all do I need to consider? What points during a wedding and reception do people choose certain songs for?
I was considering doing something by computer where a bunch of different songs we choose are played in an order we choose. How does this sound? Anyone have experience on this one?
We are doing a wilderness/nature type theme. Our date will be in July of 2010. The wedding will probably be outside and the reception at another location inside. We like a mixture of music ranging from oldies, country, R&B, some rap, alternative, and some metal.
Any other ideas would be appeciated. Thank you!

We are going to key west to have out wedding. Usually traditonal weddings, one person takes home the centerpiece. Obviously with everyone flying in I doubt they would want the floral centerpiece. The wedding will be held outdoors, so it will be hot! I wanted some suggestions on different beach themed centerpieces, one idea I was thinking about was having a bowl with water and seashells and having floating candles and flowers, anyone have any other suggestions. Something simple but unique!
i love everyones suggestions so far, the rock candy is a great idea!!!

I would like a garden wedding and think tea-length would be perfect. I always dreamed of a ballgown dress. I also want it strapless with a laced up back maybe with a bow on one side and some flowery or sparkly embellishments to go with the theme. I know of Stephanie James already, who specializes in tea-length dresses, but anyone else? THX!

The wedding dress was bought, plans for the wedding were mostly made and my fiance had moved in with my parents and I a month ago after being kicked out by his parents. The wedding date was set for this July and we both could not wait for that day…until he broke up with me a week ago. We were together almost 3 years (4 months short of) and always told each other how much we loved each other and that we couldn’t live without each other. He always tried to do things to keep me happy and granted my wishes and things that I had asked of him. He never showed any signs of being unhappy with me and he never came up to me with any issues he had, nor did he ever tell me he wasn’t willing to do whatever it was I was asking him. I tried to make him into a better person and he liked that (or so it seemed). He has broken a lot of his promises to me and hasn’t been very romantic at all with me (only Valentine’s day when he knew he had to be). He did a few things here and there that were sweet, but i have done SO much more for him. I have surprised him with a hotel night including a bubble bath and a rose-petal bed and champagne. I have helped him out financially when he didn’t have money and his parents weren’t willing to help him. I bought a car for him to use when he crashed his. I woke up at 4:30am to make him breakfast AND lunch for work when he had spent the night. I bought things for him i knew he liked (music, food, clothes, etc). I mean, i gave ALL of me for this guy. And regardless of us fighting a lot and him hurting me (emotionally), i still wanted to be with him. I really was in love for the first time in my life and saw him as the one i wanted to grow old with. We watched “The Notebook” together and wanted to be that couple. Or at least I did. He did have a temper problem and got irritated easily. And a few times when i was really upset, i tried to “break up” with him and he begged me to stay and bawled his eyes out on his knees to me. He lost his virginity to me and had told me that no one could ever make him as happy as I did. He has done a lot of stupid things in his past (like pot, and reckless driving) and i have often asked him for reasons why he had done that to which he never had answers. We both gave up our friends for each other because all we wanted is to be together. And though he wanted children, he said he would be happy with me even if we didn’t have them. To make a very long story shorter, he ended it a week ago. And he was a complete jerk when he did it. It came out of nowhere after his sister told him “F*ck you” after we didn’t attend his nephew’s b-day party. His mother had said hurtful things to him about me and I didn’t want to go because I didn’t feel welcome. And he didn’t want to go without me. I also told him I would appreciate it if his parents were not at our wedding after all that they said and did to us because I needed that day to be happy and without drama. he had agreed to that. Well, on friday, he told me he wanted his parents there regardless of what they said about me. He told me it wasn’t gonna work, and then said he would give me another chance when i pleaded to give me one. Then he changed his mind again and said he was done with me. He wanted to go back to his old life. That he hasn’t been himself with me and that he knew from the start that i wasn’t the one and that he never loved me. Only thought he did. And he said he has been thinking about it for a while and we should have been done with a long time ago. At the same time, he tried to kiss me twice that night to try to save us which got me really confused. He left that night and told me he planned on paying me every dime he owed me (including car payments until i sold the car). Saturday, he texted me and said i better have his tax money ready for him when he dropped the car off on Sunday. He had given me money to hold on to for him because he was responsible for his own taxes and didn’t have a savings account. And when i told him that he wasn’t gonna get it until i got MY money back, he said “you better have that F*ckin money for me.” And i again said that his dad can now help him since they took him back to which he replied “it’s not about help, it’s about what’s mine.” His tax money was 600. He owed me 1200. I had paid off his school debt as well which was included in what he owed me. he said he was planning on paying me back, but that he needed his money. I refused. On Sunday, he dropped off the car and the first thing he said to my father, who spoke with him in my place, was that i had his money. My dad handled it and said that to this day, HE was the one who owed ME money and that i was already gonna lose a lot of money on the car that i didn’t need and a dress that couldn’t be returned along with things we had bought for our future apartment. He told my dad that he planned on paying me back, but that he needed that money. My dad held his ground. he left with the rest of his stuff i had packed for him an

I have toyed around and around with a million ideas for what to do for the centerpieces for our wedding tables and I just cannot find one I really like. I want to keep the pirce down around $40 or so a table or less if possible, and possibly I would like to incorporate candles some how, but I am really open to any ideas right now, or pictures of what you or something people did or anything. We are having our wedding on the beach and then moving it indoors for the reception at the country. So something with shells or floting candles or sand or something!!!! Anything would help, also ideas of what NOT to do or didn’t work out well would be great! Thanks!

I have about six months left before the big day. I know to some that may seem like a while but we are trying to be smart on cash and buy our decorations a little bit at a time. There are so many things I can do I’m stumped. The wedding is in January so it’s a winter wedding. Our flowers are red roses, white calla lilies and white stephanotis. My invitations and grooms cake are a tuxedo and wedding dress and I thought about doing those for the favors and toss and get away too. To make things glitter I thought about using snowflakes but I think that’s a little too over the top with different decorations so I’m thinking lots and lots of rhinestones anywhere I can put them. Oh and a lot of christmas lights for low lighting to set the mood. Any more ideas? Advice on what I have? I’ll take anything really.
