Wedding gift

Need some unbiased input because I am making myself crazy. My oldest stepson is 26 and in the military. Every time he comes home - about every six months - he has a new fiancee, ring and all. Most of the time we don't meet these girls because they don't live near us, also don't live anywhere near him, the one in April lived in Las Vegas and was supposed to visit while he ws on leave but it never happened. So about three weeks ago he is on Facebook that he i ...

My friend is getting married in June, and I wasn't expecting to get invited and then this weekend she surprised me by saying I was invited....So now i've got no idea what to wear for the wedding. The weddings I've attended have always been in the early spring (as in late winter) or in winter.... Any ideas? TIA ...

My daughter is getting married in a week. The wedding is not in our home state so she is flying out late Thursday night (tonight). She picked up her dress on Tuesday night from the alterations, and they have ruined her dress. Don't know how they did it but from the waist down the fabric hangs crooked so that a seam that used to be hidden in a fold now is total exposed and runs the full length of the skirt righ through the middle of the dress but on ang ...

From what I understand about this clip is that the bride and the guests did not know this was going to happen, it was a complete surprise to them. Only the groomsmen knew. I think the funniest part of this is that she married him anyway. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mguAXkqDQg ...

My son is asking for suggestions for their first dance song. Something modern, romantic. I suggested "Into the Mystic" by the Wallflowers. Any recommendations? Thanks so much! ...

A good friend's granddaughter is getting married. I have been invited to the wedding with no plus 1, just me. I have to drive at least 7 hours to get there. My friend will be sitting at the family table. I will know no one else and will be sitting at a table where I know no one. Wouldn't it have been nicer to let me bring a plus 1, or is that the way things are these days? Just trying to figure out what to do here. P.S. I am single and have been for years. ...

Question... Does anyone have their rings practically permanently stuck on their finger? My wedding rings have made a dent in my finger (19 years!). They don't feel uncomfortable at all ,they spin around and I can smoosh them enough to keep em clean, but I can't really take them off without a lot of soap, oil and a great deal of effort. I'm worried that one day I won't be able to take them off and they'll require cutting. ...

Was just flipping channels the other night and caught this show and it intrigued me so I watched for a minute and I was surprised by the culture. Anyone else see it? ...

Just curious if anyone else will be watching. I watched Charles & Diana (can't remember if I watched Andrew & Fergie). Yes, I know, I'm not English (except for ancestors), they've got tons of money while the country is in shambles, and William is the antichrist (LOL), but I just find it interesting. Wondered if anyone else will watch. I heard the Queen is hosting the reception. That would be interesting to be a guest. Some people find it ...

My 25 DD is getting married next June. She does not want to have a receiving line after the mass which is a Catholic ceromony because she said it is awkard. So intead she would like to have a receving line at the reception where the guests line up and the bride and groom pass out the cake and then thank people for coming. I am totally against this but she said that is the way it is these days. She has only been to two weddings in her life. I have not been ...

......did your mom go with you, or help you pick it out? If not your mom, did anyone else go with you? A friend, relative, co-worker, etc. Mine went with me, but sort of as an after-thought. I'd already picked out a hat (not a veil) and needed a dress to match the hat, so she went with me to find a dress. She soooo wanted me to wear a long wedding gown, but that's not what I wanted. I wanted a short white gauzy party dress. She made me try on a long gown, and I thought she wa ...

Wedding ring is in for repairs? feel free to pass this on! Another piece falls into place. In a press conference last week Obama was not wearing his wedding ring nor was he wearing his watch When noticed, his staff said his ring was out for repairs. No reason was given for the missing watch. So it's just a coincidence that Muslims are forbidden from wearing jewelry during the month of Ramadan Can't possibly be that, because ...

Watching a program this morning and a person asked about taking a gift to a wedding. These were people not really close and she was asking how would it be if she took an unsigned check, went to the wedding, checked it out INCLUDING what was being served at the reception and then slip into the ladies room and wrote out what she thought the wedding, I guess, was worth to her. Now, talking about tacky. This right now is high in my book. The hostess taking the question told her no. What involving we ...

Well, yesterday we went downtown to get our license and our excitement got the best of us. We ended up having the ceremony performed on the spot and walked out as husband and wife, lol! Total cost was $79, as compared to the approximately $250 I had managed to shave it down to by having the wedding at our apartment. We've decided to use the October 31st date as our 'reception,' and instead of having the actual ceremony on that date, we're turning it into a cele ...

DH was watching something on TV and I overheard them saying something about superstitions. Apparently, the spouse who falls asleep first on your wedding night is the one who will die first. I don't remember for sure but I think my hubby did 'cause I'd never been to Charleston, SC and wanted to stay up enjoy more wine on the balcony. ...

We've had our ups and downs, but I found that if you both really want it, you can work through most everything. I am so proud!!! ...

I wouldn't doubt it if this is just a big stunt to get Hillary elected. I'd rather have Bernie, but that doesn't look feasible at this point. Either way, what a fiasco! ...

Let's hear some rousing applause for our president who does not always put himself first. The Sounds of Silence. ...

My father-in-law is getting married. My husband is best man, my son is doing something during the ceremony like rolling out the aisle runner with one of the bride's grandson, and my daughter is a junior bridesmaid with bride's three granddaughters. My son and husband are wearing tuxes rented by the groom and my daughter's dress was purchased by the bride along the other bridesmaid dresses. I have no "job" in the wedding at all except for getting my family ready, ...

My sister was cleaning out her attic and found my mother's old wedding dress from 65+ years ago. She asked if I wanted it and I said I at least wanted to look at it. Well I took it, had my daughter try it on for a laugh, but now I don't know what to do with it. It is in bad shape. It's all wrinkled and the lace is crunchy, but the main fabric is a lovely heavy satin (although yellowed and stained). My mother hated it and I sent her a pic of it and she still hates it. She said she ...

HELENA, Mont. – A Montana man said Wednesday that he was inspired by last week's U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage to apply for a marriage license so that he can legally wed his second wife. More at link... ...

My husband's cousin's son is leaving for Marine BC in the next few days. She's having a dinner for him tomorrow night for the family... My question is; should we take an empty card? card with money? or nothing at all? :) ...

What do you give to someone as a going-away gift that you've only known for five months? She's a very nice person. We didn't spend a whole lot of time together, mostly just at school functions, and a couple of times outside of that, for coffee, but with a group, not just her and me. Is it even appropriate that I get her a little something? I've been invited to a little going-away luncheon for her tomorrow and I don't have any idea. Flowers m ...

My daughters are grown, mid-20s and married. I have obtained the few things that they put on their lists but I am looking for some ideas for some "extras," unexpected things. Anyone have some good ideas? Thanks so much!!! ...

I got this from another board and it was actually funny to read. When we got married 18 years ago we got a plunger from my mom's friend thou she did get us another gift also that one was just funny. We got margaritia glasses and neither us were old enough to drink either. I used those for dessert glasses for a bit but ended up over time breaking them. I can't think of any really really bad gifts but those 2 stick out in my mind for some reason. So what has been yours? ...

Dear Diary, For my birthday this year, my husband purchased for me a week of personal training at the local health club. Although I am still in great shape since being a high school football cheerleader 43 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a try. I called the club and made my reservations with a personal trainer named Christo, who identified himself as a 26-year-old aerobics instructor and model for athletic clothing and swim wear. Friends seemed plea ...

Good morning everyone. I have a very good friend who just moved into a new house and I would like to take her a housewarming gift that is thoughtful yet not too expensive. I would appreciate any ideas. Thanks! ...

Need help, don't want to give cold cash for college grad. It seems cards like AMEX, etc. have hidden fees when used. Also, what do you consider appropriate for a BS degree? Have several others coming up after this one and expect each higher degree should be a little more than the high school or junior college. Kind of stumped here, lots of different levels of graduation coming at once in the next 3-4 years. Just want to be fair. Thanks. ...

I had ordered 2 customized luggage tags from Zazzle.com. The printed image is in between 2 pieces of acrylic. Unfortunately, they mixed up the addresses on the backs of 2 of them and they have not gotten back to me yet. If I do not hear from them Monday, I will be contacting my credit card company about the charges. What I am curious about is how to go about separating the acrylic, switching out the wrong information and then getting it to adhere together again. Does any ...
