In today’s hive:

• Josie and her fiance got married in Vegas a couple weeks ago with the MOH and Best Man present. They initially planned on having a big wedding next year but have since cancelled that plan. Should they still send out marriage announcements to people who would have been invited to the wedding?
• One of milka’s groomsmen doesn’t know if he can make the wedding (which is in 12 days) because of work. He’s trying his best to be there meanwhile she needs to know a definite answer because of a replacement, the tux, seating chart, rehearsal, programs, etc. but doesn’t want to be pushy. What to do?
• Bebe wants to know how soon you should order the groom’s band. Her wedding is in 81/2 months.
• ddalgi and her boyfriend have been dating under a year and are purchasing a condo. They planned on marrying in 2008 but her parents won’t let her move in with her bf until they’re married - so the 2 sets of parents are now pushing for a fall 07 wedding even though she’s not engaged yet. Any suggestions on how to keep them at bay?
