    would it look ridiculous to wear a birdcage veil on a court marriage?

    I think that's perfectly fine! I love them too and am wearing one with my wedding gown in our outdoor ceremony. I think it would look really cute with a tea length dress as well though.

    Is it too late to start cooking (Recreationally, for now)?

    I didn't start cooking until I moved in with my fiance and had to fend for myself. Before that, I relied on my mother's cooking or old reliable Kraft Dinner or Hamburger Helper. I'd like to think that over the last three years I have actually gained some skill and my fiance and my parents...

    I want to sing on my wedding to the groom.?

    If you are set in your idea to sing at the wedding, then you can download karaoke music or buy it at the store to sing with - that way it doesn't have vocals but has all the backup instrumental.

    Has anyone had to ask for money from parents in law to pay for wedding?

    Sorry, but nobody owes you a wedding. If your parents offered their assistance financially, then gladly and appreciatively accept it. But do not make your fiance's parents feel guilty for not paying for the amount you expected. Most couples pay for their own weddings these days. Plan...

    Anybody know a song that can be for a dance between the Bride and Best man and...

    Rather than having yet another dance to force guests to watch, I would instead dedicate a song to them while everyone is already on the dance floor. I like your idea of having a song for them with lyrics related to your appreciation of their friendship and help. Just ask the DJ to play it and...

    Have you discussed how to handle the 'child situation' with your future spouse?

    My fiance and I have talked about this a lot actually. It's definitely a topic that should be discussed before marriage to make sure you are in agreement or can compromise. We are planning to start trying for a baby around a year or two after our wedding in June. He is in the military and...

    We got married at court house?

    I would skip the ceremony since you are already married. But if you do want a ceremony, make sure it is a vow renewal and not a second wedding ceremony (white dress, bridesmaids, etc) since you are already married and it would be inappropriate. I think it's perfectly fine to have a party to...

    Did you pick out your groom's wedding band, or did he help?

    My fiance wants me to pick out his wedding band myself, but I really wanted him to help me pick it out since he will be wearing it every day of his life! I want it to be something he likes, but it's hard to tell because he doesn't wear jewelry. Plus, we picked out my ring together, so it only...

    When you do workout videos at home, do you wear shoes?

    Just wondering because I have been doing two workout videos per day in my living room to tone up a bit for my upcoming wedding. I used to work out quite often, and participated in long distance running in the past. But since doing the workout videos for the last couple months, my knees have...

    My fiance is wearing his Dress Blues (Army) at our wedding, the girls are

    I know you said you don't like black, but I do think it would look nice. However, the other option is the gray suits. Surely they can find you a nice lighter gray suit! Have you tried only one tux shop, or several? While one may not have them in the color you want, another shop should have them.

    How to get rid of rabbits eating my plants?

    Something has been pulling the plants out of the ground in my backyard vegetable and flower garden. I had a full row of corn pulled out, some pea plants, and even an Easter lily. I'm not quite sure what is pulling them out, but I suspect it is a rabbit. What can I do to stop this? I have...

    The sister of the groom has not been invited to be in the bridal party.?

    There is no etiquette other than for the bride to ask whoever she feels comfortable asking to be in her bridal party. She is not required to ask the groom's sister to be involved, although if it were me, I would ask just to avoid the conflict this may lead to. However, it is still her choice...

    Canadian military wives: Once the paperwork is filled out for benefits, do they kick...

    ...in right away? My fiance (common law husband) is in the process of filling out the paperwork to make me his dependent to receive benefits. (We are getting married next June but have been living together in the house we own for almost two years, so we are legally common law.) I am just curious...

    Military Relationships?

    My husband and I have talked about this a lot. His father made the mistake of telling me how much the guys on his crew (he was also in the military) used to cheat on their wives! My husband is going overseas soon and I am certain that he has nothing to worry about. I will be here waiting for...

    Hello, I want to do a wedding on a budget. is there good books out there for wedding...

    There are lots of great (and free!) websites available with ideas on how to save money on your wedding. I have received plenty of ideas from the internet for my $8000 budget wedding. I mostly use theknot.com but I have also just googled things like "low budget wedding" and "cutting costs on...

    More questions about dance lessons for the first dance?

    I wouldn't worry about guests being disappointed. I'm sure you will be just fine. We are planning to take some lessons and maybe get our first dance choreographed for fun, but we'll see if that actually happens once we get closer to the wedding ... As long as you know some basic steps you be...

    Matte Frame? Guest book for wedding....?

    I would just get a couple thin Sharpie markers. That's what we used at my friend's wedding when she did the same kind of thing. It turned out very nice and they have it hung in their living room.

    How did you go about finding a celebrant or someone to marry you outdoors?

    We are having an outdoor ceremony and need to find someone to marry us ... but I don't know how to go about finding someone. Any advice? How did you find someone to perform your ceremony? Just thought I should add that we don't go to church and would like a non denominational ceremony.

    What should I cook my fiance for our anniversary?

    My fiance likes the basics too ... although I prefer to stray a little when cooking. One meal that I have made a few times for a romantic dinner was mini red potatoes baked in the oven and drizzled with olive oil and herbs (rosemary, thyme, parsley). Then with that I served asparagus and...
