The wedding is just a day to celebrate the life. A person's true character is shown when things go wrong not when things are going right.

It's normal to be nervous! God knows that I was. But it's not as bad as all my friends tried to make it out to be! The first time he enters, it's going to hurt a little bit, but after a couple of minutes, it's fine... Or it was for me... Just try to relax, have fun, but make sure it's with someone special and not just a one night fling. That will make it much more memorable for you!  So relax, have fun, but also, be safe!! Cheers!!

Get your location, set the date and time\nAsk your best friend if she'll stand up with you...the groom is on his own! Skipping the Bridesmaid Chorus line simplifies planning since you only have to shop for dress/shoes/hairstylist for yourself and one other girl. Find a photographer (try the local college...a senior photography student may be available on much shorter notice and will be thrilled at the opportunity)buy a bunch of one use cameras to let guests take pics, too.\n(If you have the wedding around 1 0r 2 in the afternoon, you can have just  champagne for the toast then cake, punch and finger foods without looking cheap at the reception, much easier than dealing with finding a caterer on such short notice)\nThe dresses should be chosen and ordered as soon as possible, to allow for any needed alterations.\nDo your invitations (Craft stores and office stores have some beautiful "do it yourself" invitation kits...get one more package than you think you'll need to allow for a couple getting messed up. Mail them 4 to 6 weeks before the wedding.\nVisit bakeries and grocery stores to choose and order your cake (many grocers can make a cake just as beautiful as the fanciest bakery for a fraction of the cost and in far less time)\nAlso at the craft store, they'll have pretty little favours and lots of different ways to decorate or package them. Consider the possibility of using silk flowers for decorations, then you'll only need a florist for the Bridal bouquet and groom's boutenierre (I'm sure that's spelled wrong.\nAll that should keep you busy until a month before the wedding... Get the rings and the license.Send the groom and his best man to get measured for their suits and to reserve the ones they choose (If you can't trust him to dress himself....?)Reserve a big punch bowl and glasses at a party rental place.\nGet the dresses so you can try on the shoes underthings with the dresses (you don't have time for mistakes or changing your mind!) make any needed appointment for hair and nails.\nBy now you should have some idea of your head count... buy the ingredients for punch, figure on a quart per person, plus a gallon to be safe. For the champagne one bottle per four guests should allow for two glasses of bubbly per person, plenty for the toast...you don't want folks tipsy in the middle of the day any way.\nHit a deli to order cold platters, they can advise better than I can what quantities you'll need....buy the pretty paper plates and napkins.\n\nOne week before the wedding, the bridal couple should go out and do something that has nothing at all to do with the wedding.\nBREATHE!\n\nAll my best wishes for a lovely day and a long and happy marriage.

DO IT!  You only get married once (hopefully!) so make it the night of your dreams!

I just recently got married myself, and I don't think it is anything you can plan out. Just remember to keep each other happy. There is a ggod book I just finished, its called Power of a Praying Wife, it has helped me out a lot.

I hope your wedding is lovely and I'm sure it will be. I think an outdoor wedding is a beautiful idea. Just make sure to have a back up plan for rain, and you might want to think of renting a large tent. If you have your wedding in a naturally lovely setting like a garden you will need to spend less on decorations. Maybe your site could inform the theme of your wedding. For instance, for a garden wedding, you could give something like daffodil bulbs as favors. \n\nThink about what the weather is likely going to be like in the area when you are married, and get married when the temperature and weather are at the most comfortable.   \n\nI think there is a book called The Everything Book for Outdoor Weddings (I might have the title slightly wrong but you get the idea). It would be in the Wedding Section of a major bookstore. I wish you all the best on your life together.

i'm 23, we are still so young, and i think if you don't know for sure, then it's a definite no. i'm finally discovering things about myself and absolutely know that i can't marry right now because that scares me too. \n\nwhen you are ready, getting married and being tied down to a family shouldn't make you sick to your stomach; it should make you excited and happy. so it's not right for now. listen to your gut.\n\ngod bless

wow...that sounds really beautiful and I hope it comes true for u. As for me, my fiance and I are paying for our own things. We are having a nice wedding (with a wedding dress and tuxs). for the reception it is going to be one with  hay...music...liquior and a bbq. it is us. We arent the whole fancy stuff. Like a country barn dance like u may see in some movies.  It looks great in my head so I pray it looks good out of it.  2 months to go.

Well, seems to me you all need to spend some more time together!  IF you all are really serious about getting married then you all should be at that point in your relationship to communicate well with each other.    It's ALL about communication, trust and love.\n\nIt'll put your heart at ease to give him a call and meet up face to face to talk about everything you two are feeling right now.  It's a BIG step to take and everything should be out in the open with you two and comfortable with your decision.\n\nGL hun and hope all works out for you two!

1. For a unique party favor my groom and I are giving out lottery tickets. Only $1 each.. I will have a note in the program stating the tickets were chosen because we are so lucky to have our family and friends with us on our wedding day.\nI will also add a line that all winnings will need to be split with the bride and groom!\n\n 2. Instead of having an ordinary guestbook, that you hardly will look at again, I am going to create a photo guest book.  My guestbook attendants will take polaroids of each guest... either individually or in a group, however they come, and put it on the pages of the guestbook/scrapbook.  The guests will then sign on the bottom of their picture.  My fiance and I will then have a photo album of all the guests at our wedding! :) GST\n\n3. We are getting married next year and instead of the traditional wedding we have decided to go with a "rock-n-roll" theme. We are going to have records displayed around the hall with our names on them and a picture of the two of us. Our colors are navy blue, black and silver so there will be plenty of those colors…from the silver glitter on the black tables cloths to the silver spray painted roses.\n\n 4. Since this is a second marriage and there are children that will be blended into a new family, we are decorating the tables at the reception with photo trees holding photos of my future husband and I and our children doing things together. We feel it shows that this marriage is not the union of just two people, but the formation of a new family.\n\n5. We had a shortage of single men and women invited to our wedding, most of our friends and family were already married.  So we needed to come up with something different to replace the traditional bouquet and garter throwing.  We invited everyone to the dance floor and the dj played several lovely, slow songs.  First the dj told all couples married two hours or less to sit down (everyone got a kick out of that).  Then a few moments later, any married a year or less, than five years, ten years and so on, until there was only one couple left.  They were neighbors and friends of my family and had been married for fifty years.  We asked them to stay on the dance floor while I took a seat and my husband made a big show of removing my garter.  We then faced the winning couple, congratulated them on their fifty years and asked them for their best marriage advice as we presented them with the bouquet and garter.  They were very touched and it gave us a great feeling too.

Some jitters and questioning are normal and I do not think you are over the top on that. There are things you may want to change about yourself by not nagging as much. All men are moody and only you know if you will be happier with him. The mother in law issue could bring real unhappiness and she is way over the top. I have to ask myself why he would tolerate her screaming at you. You are marrying a family as well as your husband.

Start by deciding on a budget and who you want to invite.  Also start thinking about the kind of dress you want to wear.  There are tons of websites out there that are great at helping you plan.  I'm listing a few of my favourites.\n\nMost importantly, share every moment of your planning with you fiance.  It will be worth it in the end.  COMPROMISE is most important.  Have fun and CONGRATULATIONS!\n\nI'm getting married on July 1!  It's been a long and difficult journey but I'm enjoying every minute of planning my 2 weddings (1 Hindu, 1 Catholic!)

Do it anyway you feel comfortable and can afford. Unless you have children. Then please do it quietly and discreetly.  I am getting sick and tired of attending weddings where the kids are in the ceremony.
