Hi!
 
I am recently engaged, and my fiance has been chosen for a very prestigious position at work overseas.  He is there now and expected to be there for at least a year, possibly longer.  I just started a new job, so I wasn’t able to go out there with him.  I really want to meet him over there, and seeing as I just started my…

Hi,
 
Please help me! I am desperate. I got engaged in March 2007, and we informed all of our attendants that our wedding would be September or October 2008. My best friend/MOH always said if and when she got engaged, her dream was to have her wedding in the spring. Then my MOH got engaged in mid July 2007, and immediately started saying how she wanted to get…

I had always planned on changing my name to my fiance’s last name. Recently, I’ve explored the option of moving my last name into a second middle name, as many have discussed on weddingbee before. For example, my new name would be myfirstname mymiddlename mymaidenname hislastname. My maiden name would literally no longer be my last name, but legally added as a second middle name.

I…

A few months after getting engaged, my fiance and I asked a mutual fashion/costume designer friend if he’d make my dress. He’s someone we’ve worked with in the past (we’re in the theater) and had a great working relationship with, and he’s someone I’d consider a friend. Well… he agreed to make the dress. I gave him a budget, so he could be paid for…

Hello Bees!

I have an open question and need everyone’s help before I go ahead and book our venue. I need to decide this week so your help is greatly appreciated.

FI and I are thinking of having our wedding in December. We’d love to celebrate this joyous event with our loved ones around the holidays. We were thinking the first or second week of December to…

I have a question on how to deal with my MOH who all of a sudden told me that she thinks my fiance “isn’t good enough for me”. And against my better judgment, I told that to my fiance. He’s not too happy and can rise above it and overlook the comment - but now I sorta regret having her as my MOH. I just…

What would you do if a friend was engaged to someone you disliked?  What if you knew that person to be different (in a bad way) than how your friend perceives them? (blinded by love or maybe the female is good at putting up a facade)

Would you disclose your knowledge to your friend?  Would you intervene and let your feelings be known?

What if you knew…

Recently I became the MOH for one of my best friend’s wedding. I found out a week ago. . .the wedding is in two weeks. Basically, I’m the only bridesmaid home that isn’t AWOL or in the Navy, and thus floating somewhere out in the Pacific. The issue is with the AWOL bridesmaid. So far the following has happened:

1. We had to throw an intervention…

I need help/thoughts on how to tell our guests that gifts are not expected. My fiance and I are so happy that nearly everyone is able to come to our wedding - over half of our guests are flying across the country for the weekend. We were told by people that we would have to have some sort of a registry, so we did create a…

Recently I’ve been feeling very guilty about the cost of my bridesmaid dresses ($200 before alterations), and fear that I am asking my ladies to do too much. I would love to create a bridesmaid budget and stick with it. With that said, for those of you who have been in weddings before, how much have you paid for bridesmaid dresses and how much did you spend…

Hello All,

I have a dilemma I’ve been pondering for a while and wanted to get everyone’s honest opinion. A little more than a year ago, my FI and I found out that his mother was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Out of respect for her and the fact that she was going into operation, we halted all wedding planning and basically delayed the wedding…

My sister is supposed to be my MOH, and she’s purchased her dress. However, she and I have almost NEVER gotten along; especially now. It’s always better when she’s away at college. I don’t think I can take much more butting of heads with her and need to decide whether or not I should ask her to step down from her duties as MOH (7…

I am having the HARDEST time. My fiance is not a wedding person. He is also very non-traditional. If he had his way, we’d elope or have a very intimate, family only, non-traditional wedding. I, on the other hand, am very traditional, really want a full-on wedding (not huge, mind you, but I want all my close friends and family to be able to attend.). My…

No one but my best friend, Paul, has ever come into mind when thinking of the Maid of Honor. We’ve been friends since the tender age of three and we’ve been inseparable since. The problem? Well, obviously, he’s more like a MAN of Honor, rather than a Maid. My parents have no issues with this because Paul’s like a son they never had. My In-Laws, however,…

Hey girls!

My fiance is having cold feet and he’s very open about it. We’re taking a break from planning right now not to add to any more stress he’s going through. He didn’t say he wanted to cancel it. He just said that he’s a little scared. We’re not fighting or anything. We’re just trying to enjoy ourselves wedding-planning-free.

Should I continue planning or should I…
