The names on the invitation are not the people who are paying for the wedding. Its not about glory, its about bringing family together to celebrate love and committment. If the Bride's parents aren't paying, would you really leave their names off of the invitation? Seems like an obvious snub...

LOL, he didn't want sex to RUIN it??? That is something I would love for him to clarify. Does he not consider sex with you to be a beautiful, wonderful thing? An expression of love between the 2 of you? The fact that he didn't want sex was fine, sometimes people just aren't in the mood. But...

I invited my MIL to join us for the preparations before the wedding. She declined, and I was a little relieved. I really just wanted to spend this special time with my mom and best friends and sister. BUT, I invited her because it was the right thing to do. Its right to include her, and its...

Leave the food in the kitchen and order pizza or take out. After you've all eaten, you can tell them the story about the horrible meal you made, and you can take them into the kitchen to try it for themselves. You can laugh about it and tell them that next time you'll try something different...

were before you had kids of your own? Since you've had children of your own, have you become more sensitive toward stories on the news involving violence towards babies and children? Before I had kids, of course I saw stories that were horrendous and awful, but it never really hit home like it...

Planning a wedding 6 months apart is perfectly reasonable. You are not putting any type of time or financial stress on your common relatives. She chose to have a longer engagement, you do not have to put off your wedding for her 2 year engagement. She did not buy the rights to those 2 years...

My fiance's family is more than twice as big as mine, and he also has about 3 times the number of friends than me. I couldn't have cared less. Nobody there knew enough to look around and count who was a friend of the bride vs. groom. We instructed the Ushers just to fill the seats evenly, we...

I agree with everyone above. I only clicked on this question so I could laugh at how ridiculous it was.

How about a toast or a thankyou in the program? Your guests don't want to sit through 20 minutes of tediously watching other people dance.

Put a rectangle the size of the pictures on each page and write, "Your photo will go here". If you want a guest book attendant, you can assign that task to someone. Personally, I've always hated that stupid task. lol. But I was never at a wedding where it was really necessary. People know...

This one is my husband's FAVORITE, and its fairly low fat and easy! AMATRICIANA INGREDIENTS 1 package prosciutto or pancetta (found in the deli meat section) 1/2 cup chopped onion 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 2 (14.5 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes 1 pound...

My Uncle is a chef, and he taught me that the most important thing about a steak is the cut. I would recommend going to a butcher and getting a very nice cut of meat. I'm not very familiar with what's best, but your butcher could help you. If you get a quality cut of meat, it should remain...

I don't think I'll enjoy embarassing my children, nor will I strive for it. I'm sure they'll be embarassed by pretty much anything I say or do once they turn 14. I'm sure I won't have to try hard.

You know, I dated a guy who was the exact same way as an adult!! Nip it in the bud before he becomes a 22-year-old male who never accepts responsibility for anything. lol. As far as HOW to nip it in the bud, my kids are 4 and 1, so I don't have any solid advice that works. Speak rationally to...
