Wedding Wishes

To any novice planning a wedding in , sample wedding wishes significantly reduce the learning curve. Looking closely at what other planners have used assists in gauging the effectiveness of particular wishes. This allows for the design of attractive wedding cards that will resonate with the feelings of the couple. That is not to say that only planners should go through samples. Toronto wedding planners advise well wishes to voraciously go through samples in order to deliver that message that the couple will remember all through their marriage. They frown upon bland wishes and demand flavor and creativity. If still groping in the dark, the Internet is the ideal resources. There are a number of publications circulating that are famous for wedding wishes but the dynamism of contemporary weddings renders some of the content obsolete.By fine-tuning sample wedding wishes, it is very easy to create the ideal wedding wishes for a particular wedding. One could make use of the internet to find these. Various companies post samples and allow users to change the wording to suit their occasion. In Mississauga, companies use wizards to assist customers in achieving the wishes they desire. These wizards operate on step-by-step procedures where the customer answers to basic questions like the name of the bride, the groom and the location of the wedding. The information given replaces that in the samples, yielding tailor made wishes to convey.

By looking at samples, Ontario residents have learned the best way to present their wishes. As for all art forms, presentation carries as much significance as the message itself. Issues like color scheme, material and font come into focus here. A poorly presented message portrays the sender in negative light and to the recipient it shows thoughtlessness. One will discover that it really has little to do with money. Depending on how close you are to the couple you can employ a version of wedding poetry.As most Ontario planner will say, creativity is the catchphrase. Many people misconstrue creativity for complexity, forgetting that the wording used should be simple, light, upbeat and encouraging. What follows is a sample of wedding wishes:

“Jane and John,
We regret that we were unable it make it for your wedding,
This is a great day for the two of you,
I wish you a very long, happy life as a couple,
I wish you the best and wait in earnest to see
Your wedding photographs
Love,
T & J,
Canada.”

Although most cards purely convey wishes, the sample wedding wishes given shows a good way of conveying wishes and an apology at the same keeping the couple happy.

Wedding wishes give people the chance to take part in a wedding through thoughtful sentiments. Look at magazines and surf the Internet for a wealth of samples. There are wedding wishes to suit a variety of wedding types: Indian, Muslim, Christian and many more. Any wedding planner will make it clear that paying attention to detail will go a long way in ensuring that one gets the right words, the right theme and most importantly, the right presentation to leave an indelible mark on the lives of two special people.

QUESTION:
Can you help me with wedding wishes in Hungarian?
Some friends of mine got married and I would like to send them a card to congratulate them on their wedding. They are Hungarian and I would like to write a traditional wedding wish in their native tongue. Obviously, I don't want to use an automated transaltor for this.

What I would like to say is basically: congratulations on your wedding we wish you a happy life together

or something similar. If there are some people who speak Hungarian here and can help me out it would be great. thanks!
- ANSWER:
  Hello,
  
  I'm not a native hungarian but I have contact with the language everyday as I read literature in it and have friends from Hungary.
  
  That's how I would express my best wishes:
  
  "Szívből gratulálunk nektek a házassághoz, nagyon-nagyon sok boldog és hosszú éveket kívánunk nektek!"
  (literally: Our heartiest congratulations to you for the wedding, We wish you a lot of happiness and long years of life!")
  
  That's however in the plural ("We wish you.."), if you meant just yourself ("I wish you..") then you should replace the "gratulálunk" for "gratulálok" and the "kívánunk" for "kívánok".
  
  By the way, be careful with the accent marks. "GratulÁlunk", kÍvÁnunk, etc. The "ő" in "Szívbõl" is called "double accute acent" (since you will have to write it, you better check how it looks like here, in bigger size: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_acute_accent).
  
  I hope I was able to help

QUESTION:
How many people have gone against their parents wishes for their wedding plans and regretted it?
Have you got married or planned your wedding and had a difference of opinion with your parents? has it been over things like $ or religion? what, what, when, how's invited etc.? and if so what was the outcome and how would you have done things differently?

I am coming to the conclusion that it's my way or the highway, in other words i'd rather just not have the wedding if I can't have what I want and I will resent them anyway, therefore everyone misses out, so it's a loose loose.
not a bridezilla, so much so that I want to elope and just get married, not all this wedding guff! But my parents think it's a horrible thing to do and disrespecful to the whole family. I don't want the traditional wedding therefore I won't get married so they miss out anyway.
- ANSWER:
  If you are over 18 and footing the bill for the wedding, then you should have the wedding you want. If parents are paying and they won't honor what your wishes are (as long as they are realistic and you aren't sending them to the poor house), then maybe go with something very simple. I haven't had the issue but a close girlfriend of mine had parents who where paying for everything and pretty much veto'd every thing she wanted. It became a nightmare. Mom picked out the colors of her bridesmaid dresses because the bright pink the bride wanted didn't "match" the fall time of year. Mom argued her way into the cake flavors, even who the photographer was. 3 weeks before the wedding, my girlfriend eloped because it was causing her so much stress. She went through with the "wedding" and gave her Mom a copy of their real wedding certificate as a "thank you" gift a few days later.
QUESTION:
Male co-workers "thank you" for wedding wishes?
My co-workers just threw me a bridal shower for my upcoming wedding . The attendees of course were the female co-workers. Along with gifts. etc I also received a "message book" which included best wish messages from all co-workers, both male and female. I am planning to send personal thank you notes to all that attended the shower, but what is the proper way to thank someone who signed just the "message book" (i.e. the male co-workers) Is it proper to send an blind copy thank you email?
- ANSWER:
  I don't think you have to, but I think it would be nice if you did it. The guys probably aren't expecting it so it would be a pleasant surprise.
  
  Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
QUESTION:
How many possible pairings would satisfy the wedding planner's wishes?
A wedding planner intends to pair each of five bridesmaids of heights 5', 5'5'', 5'6'', 5'8'', and 5'10'' with one five groomsmen of heights 5'6'', 5'8'', 5'9'', 5'11'', and 6'1'' such that each groomsmen is taller than the bridesmaid he walks up the aisle.
- ANSWER:
  The 5'10" bridesmaid needs to be paired with one of the two tallest groomsmen.
  
  Then, the 5'8" bridesmaid will need to be paired with one of the two remaining of the three tallest groomsmen.
  
  Then, the 5'6" bridesmaid will have to be paired with one of the two remaining of the four tallest ones.
  
  Then, the 5'5" bridesmaid will have to be paired with one of the two remaining, and the 5' tall bridesmaid will be paired with the last one.
  
  So the answer is 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 16.
QUESTION:
wedding wishes to a granddaughter?
Please help me with this. I would like to send wedding wishes from a grandparent to a granddaughter. Please give me some samples. Thank you.

Write her a very heartfelt note, telling her how much you love her, and how much joy and happiness you wish her over the coming years. Congratulate her and her new husband, give them your blessing, love, and best wishes for a lifetime of love and laughter.
QUESTION:
If I wasn't invited to a wedding, can I still mail a best wishes card to the bride and groom?
This couple I know but I'm not that close to is getting married. I wasn't invited to the wedding but I would still like to send them a card wishing them well anyway.

What Type Of Wedding Planners Package Should You Go For?

Professional wedding planners make all the difference to the smooth running of a wedding. With so many different people to co-ordinate - the caterers, the hire cars, the florists, the bar staff, the photographer and so on - it is well nigh impossible for the bridal couple to be relaxed and focus on the meaning of the day, if they are trying to keep tabs on everyone and are immersed in worrying over details. This is where the wedding planner is essential. The type of package that you choose will depend on your personal preferences as well as your budget.

Is this something that is or isn't "done"? Is it appropriate or inappropriate to do this?

ANSWER:
of course you can send them a card! you can even send them a gift if you want. in addition to our guests' gifts, I probably got almost 20 gifts from others who weren't invited to our wedding.

QUESTION:
Who is so excited about their wedding day and wishes it would come more quickly??
My wedding day is a little less then 3 months away! I am getting so excited, but wish time would come more quickly. What have you done to make time pass faster? Are you as excited as I am?

I just can't wait to begin my life with my husband!

ANSWER:
Hi Charity!
That is so exciting and it's so good to hear that you are so excited! Congratulations.
I got married 3/24 and I too wanted the day to come quicker. It seemed like it was never going to come!
If you have all the planning out of the way, then yes, that stinks because now it seems like all you are doing is waiting.
Once the holidays roll around and are over, your wedding day will be here before you know it and OVER!
Try not to rush it, I know that easier said than done. But I made sure that I spent a lot of time with family during the engagement and tried to pick up little hobbies to keep busy.
Don't worry my dear, it will come soon enough and then you will wonder where the heck all the time went.
Marriage is beautiful and WAY too much fun!
Good luck and congrats to all the soon to be brides!

QUESTION:
Any suggestions for a wedding dress for a crossdresser who wishes to minimize masculine features ?
I am getting married soon to a wonderful girl and as a crossdressing guy who will be wearing a dress for the ceremony I would like to know if anyone has suggestions as to what type of dress could minimize masculine features eg broad shoulders etc.

I am average height and build.

...........yes I know it sounds crazy but hey, if you girls get to do the whole bridal dress thing, why not us guys too ? LOL.
yes we will both be wearing dresses.

ANSWER:
Wow, is that ever cool! Congrats on finding a bride that enjoys your crossdressing too - she will be a HUGE help.

First, I'd suggest a long dress so that your feet will be somewhat concealed. As you know, feet and hands are bigger on males. You'll also want to have the hair on your hands removed and perhaps add false nails, unless you plan to wear gloves which are lovely - and available from many shops that specialize in "women's" clothes for men.

Any good (and understanding) bridal shop will help you acheive the look you want - I was pregnant when I got married and you'd never know it! THey can do the same for broad shoulders and help you with breast padding if you're going all out.

Be prepared for some prejudice - some bridal shop owners will consider you a weirdo or worse - but you, your bride and at least one person out here thinks it's great. Ask any c/d friends you have, or find a store that caters to crossdressers (which will probably make things easier.) or you can engage a seamstress to create a unique gown for you. Make sure to get input from the wife - you don't want to outshine her too much! I'd love to see a picture when you're done - I miss living in Toronto where people were more diverse. Around here you might be drummed out of town!

Happy Wedding to you both.

QUESTION:
Chinese Wedding Wishes and Traditions?
I have one for you folks... A dear friend of mine is marrying his Chinese g/f. However she does not speak much English and her whole family will not be able to make it for her big day.
Hence it will be a very private affair. Which I find very sad.
In order to make her feel welcome and celebrate this as it should, (Hey ,she is the bride, it's her day!!) I would have loved to do offer them a traditional Chinese gift. If I can find the ingredients.
Something that would mean "Good Luck". I would love as well to include a wedding card wishing them both good luck, long life together etc.. In CHINESE. I mean with the proper writting characters.
I know that a red envellope full of money is one gift I could make. But, I dont have a lot of the latter and I would prefer something more personal. If any of you Chinese Yahoo users could help me out here, I would really appreciate it. If you have a url to any webpage, any first hand suggestion, it would help me make her day!
Thank you kindly.
Thank you for those who have added Chinese symbols to their answers, but I can oly see series of small square. Can you send me a website url or email me a Word.doc or scan of them? thank you so much!! X

ANSWER:
well, normally, for gifts, you can give them golden or jade bangles with patterns of dragons and phoenix. They usually come in pairs, the dragon for the groom and the phoenix for the bride. You can also get them jade pendants.

on a creative side, you can also attach chinese knots to the jade pendant, if you do get them one. you can try to get a special kind of knot called 同心结, which in english, means "hearts tied to be the same". It's rather meaningful. In fact, if you have the time and resource, you could try to make one yourself, since it's not very hard.

as for the wedding card, there are really countless things you can say, some of the more common ones are:
白头偕老－to grow old together
永结同心 - to always have mutual understanding
早生贵子 - to give birth to a kid soon

alternatively, there are some others which are not so common, but are really very meaningful:
鹣蝶情深－ to be deeply in love forever
永结连理－ to always be together and unseperable
琴瑟合鸣 - to always be in harmony
如鼓琴瑟 - same as above

here are some of the precausions if you choose other gifts, do not give gifts that are:
- in odd numbers
- white
- black
- loosely packed

also do not give clock, umbrellas or pears, or anything in the shape of those.

hope this has helped.

QUESTION:
Urgent! Can someone give me some idea of a nice wedding wish in portuguese for a brazilian wedding?
Hi,
My friend is marrying a Brazilian girl and I am his best man.
I need to give a speech at the wedding and I wanted to integrate a few nice words in portuguese to wish them well as a couple.
Can someone send me a nice sentence or two in portuguese to help? (a bonus would be if you could help with pronunciation)

If no traditional greeting comes to mind, could you please translate the following?
"Congratulations on your wedding! May the honeymoon last forever"

Thanks!

ANSWER:
"Parabéns pelo casamento. E que a lua-de-mel dure para sempre!"

ou

"Parabéns, pelo casamento. Que ele seja uma eterna lua-de-mel! "
(I think this sound better).

The pronounce would be more or less like this:

1- Pahrahbaims;
2- Pelo: pe, you say like "pa" in Pallin , and "lo" in lonely - Pa-lo;
3 - Kazamento: men you say like you pronounce "men", and "to", some like you say "toe" but "o" is short;
4- Que: say like "kee";
5 - Ele: "ele" in elementary;
6 - Seja: like "sayjah" (but say less "y");
7 - Uma : like oomah
8 - Lua: louah or looah
9 - de: "de" in demosntration;
10 - Mel is mel.

QUESTION:
Wedding wishes keepsake Ideas?
Okay, so my husband and I recently got married away alone. We have received a lot of blessing and congrats and well wishes etc., from friends and family. I am trying to find some unique way of making all of the wishes and messages into a keepsakes but they are all electronic, like emails or facebook posts and so on. Thank you for any ideas you have.

ANSWER:
Do you mean like a scrapbook? I'd try to find a way to print them and then do something funky with the scrapbook pages, like a couple pieces of glitter, or just anything to jazz them up. If you have extra photos, you could put a photo next to the person's wishes

Another option would be to find some free webhosting (just google it, plus your internet provider probably has this, although that's more risky) and upload everything into a permanent site. What's cool about that is you'll have lots of room for wedding photos, nice venue shots from their site, etc. You can be as creative as you want, and it's pretty user friendly.

QUESTION:
Best Wishes Wedding Well?
My sister is getting married in a few weeks and she is having a "Best Wishes" wishing well. This is NOT for guests to put money in but simply they write a best wish to the newly wed couple and put it in the "wishing well". Where can I find wishing well verses to let people know what it is she wants them to do? She is going with a fall theme so anything in that area would be helpful, but of course, any versus would be great.

ANSWER:
I would set the wishing well by the guest book and have someone standing there making sure everyone signs in and then they can tell them that the couple would like them to wright a best wish for them and put it in the well. This way you know everyone knows about it and has the opportunity to put theirs in.

Here are a few verses I thought of as well-We set up this well to ask a favor from you. Please no money just a wish will do. Please wright us a wish you would like to come true. Place it in the well for us to view after we come back from our honeymoon.

This wishing well is here today for family and friends.
To make a wish for us on our special day.

QUESTION:
ideas for decorating two glass cylinders for my wedding reception?
They are going to be used at my wedding reception for a wedding wishes vase. I need some simple ideas on how to decorate them. I thought about doing something with ribbon. Any ideas? Let me know

ANSWER:
Craft stores make a frost that you can put on clear vases, and I would put a pretty ribbon around the neck of the vase that matches with the theme of the wedding.

QUESTION:
How do you make a small tabletop wedding wishing well without wood?
It will be used at a funeral reception for a baby not at a wedding but it is the same concept. Does anyone know where I can find directions on making one?

ANSWER:
Sad that the use will be a funeral reception for a baby. We made one for a baby shower, but you can use the same idea. We used sheets of Styrofoam to create a little slanted roof and those were held up with 4 Styrofoam slats which connected to a box we constructed with styrofoam. The well itself was square, though, not round. You can cover the styrofoam with fabric, you can stick in silk flowers or you can cover it with wrapping paper to suit your theme. I think we found the directions on the Martha Stewart Living site but that was years ago. Condolences.

QUESTION:
can you give me examples of wedding wishes..?

ANSWER:
We wish you all the love and happiness in the world and Congratulations on your marriage.

ANSWER:
The best thing to do is have someone take photos the day of the wedding.

You need something like this:
http://www.adessoalbums.com/
Instant Photo Guest Book

That would be more appropriate than asking guests to bring a photo along.

I tend to think it is inappropriate to ask guests for anything . . . money for a gift, or food for a potluck reception, or photo for the guest book. It is just inappropriate to ask.

You want or need photos? Then have someone stationed by the guest book to take them.

QUESTION:
How much money should one put in a wedding wishing well and should it be put in annonymously or inside a card?
Recently went to a wedding, guests were unsure what was the rule of thumb.

ANSWER:
First off, definitely a card, personalized from you to them. As for the amount, it depends on You. You should at least be able to cover the meal(s) which usually comes down to about 20-40 bucks a person, depending on how over the top the wedding is. But, that's really just a rule of thumb, because no one can blame you if you are a student or younger with a mediocre job and not throwing cash their way...but they'd surely like it.
Sometimes, you just put in what you can afford...and how close you are to the person getting married. I've just made it a rule of 100-200 depending on if my wife cares for the person or not.
You have to figure, all these monetary gifts offset the price of the wedding, honeymoon and other expenses that went into having the wedding.
Hope that Helps

QUESTION:
Wedding at disney's wedding pavillion (wishes collection) rough pricing?
I just got engaged 2 weeks ago at Magic Kingdom (i know, a little soon to be making plans), chances are that we aren't going to be able to afford a big wedding in Florida, we both have families that would find it really hard to afford to go all that way to Florida from England.
This being said, I would like a rough idea of pricing for a Wishes collection ceremony and small reception (less than 20 people. The website is quite vague when it comes to pricing because of evrything they would have to factor in, it would be nice if someone who has already had a wedding here could help me out with a ball part figure Thanks

ANSWER:
Prices change all the time. You really need to make your own phone calls and meet with the folks at the location.

QUESTION:
I need some "well wishes" in Greek, for the happy couple of a Greek Orth Wedding, to put in a card to them
The wedding is my Brother-In-Law's and his girl and her family are Greek Orthodox. I would like to make a greeting card and include something nice in Greek, something traditional and respectful, as a memento as they are not receiving gifts. I would appreciate the Greek version and English translation - if anyone could help, I'd be most grateful. Also, if anyone has any comments regarding any Greek Orthodox traditions with respect to weddings, I'd be very interested. Thanks.

ANSWER:
the most common wish is

Να ζήσετε και καλούς απογόνους! = na zısete ke kalus apogonus and ıt means (we wısh you) to lıve many years (together) and to have (good-wıth the meanıng of healthy)chıldren!

you should know- if you can attend the wedding-than in the end the wedding couple along with their family, they send before the exit, so that every one in church to his way out to greet them and say that time the wishes. Moreover the closest ones, they put some money (pin ) on the groom's wedding suit. Some prefer to give expensive jewels to both of them(usually the members of family or relatives). Those who don't give money or jewel, they take gifts to the couples house 1-2 days, before the wedding!

I hope I helped

I am Greek!

QUESTION:
What to do about unfulfilled wedding wishes?
I met my husband when I was 15, and he was 17. We decided to get married after living together for a year and a half (I was 18 then).

Due to conflicts within our families (they hate each other) we decided to have a simple courthouse wedding.

Now as an adult, I guess I regret missing out on being proposed to, the marriage was just kind of talked about between the both of us, I never got a real proposal. We went to the mall and he picked out my rings, but then we had them made into a custom made band, which was then traded in for a 1 carat solitaire in August, which was then STOLEN.

So now I have no ring. I still have my band, but my upgraded engagement ring is gone, and we still don't know if the insurance is going to replace it.

I would really just like to have a vow renewal ceremony, and maybe do things all over again. The kid in me says I still have a chance to get what I want, but the adult in me says, forget about it. You had your chance and you decided to get married knowing your families wouldn't be involved.

Any suggestions on how to talk to me husband about this would be helpful.

ANSWER:
I know how you feel. I didn't get a proposal either an hubby and I just bought out rings together. We are planning on having a wedding on our one year anniversary but I don't know if we'll have the money for it. Either way, we have always know that we would have to pay for everything ourselves. I actually think a lot of couples do that now. You aren't alone. Just focus on what you can do and have the wedding of your dreams knowing *you* did it all.

QUESTION:
How can I stop my mother from inferring with my wedding wishes?
She doesn't care for my dress, she doesn't llke the hall we chose for a reception..She said she's pay for the catering, yet when I told what I wanted, and had a broken down price list of cost, she balked at it saying that SHE did not want that..and when I told her it was MY wedding. she bitched at me and called me ungratefull...Now she is trying to tell me that I should use my fiances money and get a big wedding ring, that I settled for one that the diamond is too small..I personally happen to like my engagement ring, and we have chosen to get simple gold bands for our wedding rings, which I am perfectly, fine with..She thinks I should have a fat rock or somthing, and that's not my style and she knows this...She is also trying to tell us where to honeymoon....UGH...I appreate her finacal(?) help and ideas, but how can I get to her to uderstand that the choice is mine..I think, I know why she is like, this, when she got married, her mother chose everthing..from my moms dress, on down..
I just want the wedding of my dreams and lately it's become a living nightmare..
She is even telling me who to envite and telling my b/f who she thinks would make good groomsmens(she doesn't like who he has chosen so far)
ok..She is on a rampage now about how i am being"stupid" and that I am short changing myself, but not getting a ring w/a big diamond..She said it should be half a karrot or more...Granted that would be nice, but I am not someone who needs brand name items, expensive jewlery to know who I am..Besides, I am kluts, that ring would be ruined, or with my luck stolen...besides, why should she care what my wedding ring looks like, it's not like she is rich and it will make her look bad, if her daughter has a small, ring...maybe she wants me to get a big one, so SHE CAN show off....UGH!!!

ANSWER:
I completely disagree with the ladies here about accepting the money. If she is going to give you money for your wedding, she should give it to you, not ransom it. She is using money as a means to control your wedding. It's probably a last ditch attempt at having some say over the things you do, as she may feel she's losing you. I would confront her about it, and give her some tough love. Ask her who is getting married? Whose wedding is it? Ask her to remember how she truly felt about her mother planning her wedding for her. Tell her she's crossing the line, because the decisions she's attempting to make are decisions only your fiance and you should be making. Just because her mother did this to her, doesn't make it right to do to you. She is also insulting your fiance by belittling the ring he presented you, and you shouldn't ever allow such disrespect. Tell her if she can't respect your boundaries and relationship, you will no longer share the planning process with her and she will simply receive an invitation like everyone else. Remind her how much you love her, how close the both of you are, and that she isn't losing you, you're alway going to be her little girl. Let her know the way she is handling your wedding is just pushing you away from her. If she flips out on you after all that, then DO NOT accept any money from her and tell her so immediately. Remind her that she should have been "grateful" you were sharing this experience with her in the first place. Don't argue about it, just say your piece and be done with it. Don't share any info, news, updates, or plans with her at all. Not under any circumstances. Take away her tools for manipulation and you'll have your control back. Pay for your own catering, even if it means pushing your date back. This should be a time of happiness and sharing; first and foremost between you and your fiance. THEN between you and your mother. Don't be bullied. You'll just become resentful and it'll make this and future big events (such as pregnancy and raising children) a nightmare. Put your foot down!

QUESTION:
A florist wishes to make bouquets for a wedding. Each bouquet is to be made up of roses at a bunch and....?
A florist wishes to make bouquets for a wedding. Each bouquet is to be made up of roses at a bunch and tulips at a bunch. How many bunches of each should she use to make I5 bunches which she can sell for $ 24 a bunch?

help???
yea sorry its 15

ANSWER:
let x = bunches of roses
(15 - x) = bunches of tulips

Total cost = 15(24) = 360

30x + 21(15 - x) = 360
30x + 315 - 21x = 360
9x = 45
x = 5

5 bunches of roses and 10 bunches of tulips

To check:

5(30) + 10(21) = 150 + 210 = 360 It works!

QUESTION:
Do you ever wish your wedding went completely different from how it turned out?
I am getting married in 2 days and am already wishing I had either went for a much smaller wedding or just waited to save up our own money because having your in laws pay for it sucks! LOL. Especially for me and my fiance, he is the middle child of three and his parents have only been willing to pay for our wedding not his siblings. They were pretty mad when they found out. =]
So how would you have done it differently?

ANSWER:
May be you can help your fiance's siblings by helping pay for their wedding! Also, at this time, another person has said it, but there is really nothing much you change right now. HOWEVER, be absolutely assured that weddings don't go EXACTLY as planed! But you should be happy and live the moment because (hopefully), it only comes once!

In my aunt's wedding, the cake didn't turn up, and 2 junior-bride's-maids were in a fight, so they didnt smile while walking. She was still happy though! Also, my cousin's mother prosponed her 2nd wedding, just so she can help pay for his wedding! You can bet that both the bride and groom were guilt trip, UNTIL their wadding day, and concentrated on happiness with their lives together forever! They also found a way to pay her back =D ENJOY your day and CONGRATULATIONS!

QUESTION:
Does Best Buy notify you when an item has been purchased from your wedding wish list?
I logged into Best Buy's website and when I went to our wishlist, it said "the following item is no longer available and has been removed from your wish list". Does this mean someone purchased it or does it mean that Best Buy stopped carrying the item for sale? It was a digital camera and I can't quite remember the exact specs, so I can't check online to see if Best Buy still sells it. Does Best Buy email you when an item has been purchased from your wish list?

ANSWER:
If someone had bought it for you, it would say 'fulfilled'. the message you saw means BB no longer carries that item, so you have to find something else to put on your registry instead. I didn't register at BB but that's how Target and Macy's work. And no they probably don't email you to tell you when an item is purchased, that would take away the surprise of people buying you gifts. I confess I did check my registries a lot last year tho to see what items had been purchased, but I didn't know who was buying them!

QUESTION:
Does anyone know a poem for a wishing well for wedding?
we would like help to buy a new car. Everyone we know knows that we need a car that doesnt break down every 2 days so we would love to put it in a poem for our wedding wishing well

ANSWER:
Where are you from? Wishing wells are considered tacky in the United States but acceptable in other countries.

I have to say though your priorities are odd, you don't have money for a car but you do for a wedding? I'd scale back on my wedding if I needed a car, a wedding is 1 day a car gets you to work & back, everyday.

QUESTION:
How to deal with others expectation of your wedding day?
I am recently engaged and we were planning for a spring wedding. We have had some other financial obligations come up, so we are delaying that. His folks seem to be disappointed in this and were also visibly disappointed when I joked that we may just go to Vegas...then they offered to give us money, which we declined because I know that there would be expectations for us to grant a lot of their wishes if we took it and that is not how I want to feel about my wedding. I just wish that we could have what we want, no matter what that is, without worrying about others feelings.

ANSWER:
I understand you not wanting to be a bridezilla and to take the opinions and feelings of those closest to you and your fiance into consideration however letting them dicate isn't right. An opinion is just that an opinion everyone has one and will willingly let you know their thoughts (especially on wedding planning) but you can take it or leave it. If you want to get married in Vegas (joking or not) then his parents will have to accept this as it's what you want. You can't always please everyone and though you can take what they say and apply it or not it is your day and you aren't selfish for wanting it your way, especially if you are paying for it. If his parents choose to help you out financially for the wedding then maybe talk to his mom and let her know that you appreciate the help, but that you have a vision in mind and would like to do the majority of the planning and that's why your scared of taking the money. She may just want to help you because it's her son and she is ready to see you married. The best tactic is honesty if you don't like something be honest, if you don't take someone's suggestions be honest as to why it's not right for you and your wedding. Instead of letting people get the best of you just be very open and honest with them and that will show your assertiveness but also will make them see that it is your wedding, but you are taking their thoughts into consideration and want them to do the same. I hope this helps, best of luck.

QUESTION:
Y!A you're the deciding vote! Should I honor my grandmother's wishes about my wedding dress?
Alright, so my family is entirely split on this issue, so I'm leaving the final decision up to all of you on Y!A to break the split. Its kind of a detailed story but I need help!

I've never been that fond of the princess type of wedding dress, so I have decided to remake (in my size) the dress my biological grandmother wore when she was married, with a few alterations to make it a little more modern. She died when my mother was 12 and I've grown up feeling like I know her because of all the wonderful stories my mom has told me, so I thought it'd be a nice way to pay homage to her on my wedding day, (plus the dress is beautiful!).

This being said, my mother's stepmother is the only grandmother I've ever actually known. We were very close when I was little and when I told her what my plans were she literally flipped out, and cited all sorts of issues with me recreating the dress. It got so heated that she insinuated that it would be better for me not to replicate the dress...because maybe I'd end up dying at 37 too. I don't know if its jealously or what, but the behavior is very out of character for her.

Anyway, half of my family thinks I should honor my grandmother's wishes and choose a new dress, and the other half thinks I should stick with the replica. I personally think that my grandmother was entirely out of line with her remarks and at this point, (and maybe I'm just being a bridezilla), I don't mind if she's offended on the wedding day b/c I was so offended by what she said to me.

Anyway, its up to you all! Please let me know!

Thanks!

ANSWER:
Sounds as though step-grandmother is jealous of bio-grandmother. And that is just silly.

You write: I have decided to remake (in my size) the dress my biological grandmother wore when she was married, with a few alterations to make it a little more modern.

I think that sounds like a lovely idea, and I think you should do it. Go with your original plan.

Good luck with your planning. I also suggest that you stop discussing everything with the family. As many people as you tell an idea . . . well, you are going to get that many opinions back. You don't have to tell the family everything. Make your plans, do what you like, and just let folks be surprised on your wedding day. If you want to discuss details with mom or a trusted friend, that is fine. But don't tell everybody everything. That just causes stress . . . like you've encountered with this situation.

Just laugh and tell everyone your wedding plans are "top secret." If they want to see what you are doing, they have to come to the wedding. (o:

QUESTION:
Where can I find examples of suitable verses for using a wishing well at my wedding reception?
This will be both of our 2nd wedding, we have everything we need. We thought about doing a honeymoon registery. That isn't going to happen. Now we have decided that for those family members and friends that would like to contribute to us we will provide a wishing well at the reception so that any monetary gifts can be left there along with cards and wishes. I can't find a place online that provides verses used to let people know in a tasteful way that this is what we are going to do. Please help!

ANSWER:
Here are some websites that I hope you like. I think they are good. For the websites just print them onto a seperate piece of paper (a really nice fancy paper if you wish) and then stick it inside the invitation.

QUESTION:
What is the exact procedure for arya samaj wedding in mumbai? How much money is required on a whole?
I am planning for an arya samaj mandir wedding and wish to know all the details regarding the same. Right from how to start to the end part of it including making the marriage legal? And the approximate total cost? Also what are the things required from our side and the stuff that the mandir people arrange?

ANSWER:
Hi..I too got married at Arya Samaj mandir..and i believe all arya samaj mandirs have same rules & regulations....I got married at Delhi mandir.

Marriage was very simple and sweet...but main thing is that u need to book the mandir..go to the mandir..there must be some incharge of all these things...u can contact him ...give him date of marriage...because smetimes there are 20-30 marriage in same day..so it becomes quite a mess.

they will ask you for some documents like...3-4 photos of both bride & groom...need to fill aform and some advance.

address proof, age certificate.....thn at the tme of marriage u wll need 3 witness to sign....Mandir will make the affidfit from their side.

Then there r charges ...fees of pandit, mandir charges + if yo need to book their hall for lunch or dinner...it should not cost you more than 5000-6000.

Marriage will take 1-2 hrs...they will provide you marriage certificate (Arya Samaj certificate)..but its better if you also get it registered by court because government authorities does not accept Mandir certificate.

QUESTION:
Would you rather have a simple wedding or extravagant one?
I've heard a myth that many brides who spend a lot of money for a glamorous wedding later wish they had gone simpler with less bells and whistles instead. What do you think? Considering that money and budget were not a problem, would you rather have a huge, expensive wedding or a simple, smaller yet cheaper one?

ANSWER:
I think you can have a beautiful, simple LARGE wedding as well (which is what I would have to have). While I wouldn't want anything ridiculous like carriages or hand-crafted ice swans, I would like to have ALL of the people who matter there to witness the wedding.

After all, that's why you have a wedding isn't it, to celebrate your union with everyone you love?
