thinkpink427 asked: A little background! So I got engaged this pass april and we planned our wedding for 2011 how ever we found out that my fiance is getting deployed to Iraq at the end of the year. So we are going to get married in Sep. He wanted to get married in my backyard since I wanted a small wedding but truth be told we really don’t have the money to have a small wedding which grew to 100 ppl and my mom can’t help out she is just making it on her own and his dad who has money that can help us out a little is not willing to help out. Also I’m planning everything out since my soldier is in Ny and Im thinking courthouse! Less planning! Less Stressing! So!
My Questions!
1. How does the courthouse wedding work?
2. How many guest are allowed? ( since his family will be coming from Al and some family of mine is coming from Las Vegas. I just want our close family there.)
3. How much money?
4. What courthouse do you recommend?
5. Any more info I should know about?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!
From a stressing out bride.
Oh Also! Does anyone know where I can find a cheap dress that looks like the 50’s I dont want a big dress never really wanted a big dress and something that I can buy cheap. Thanks!

TheDub asked: My brother and his fiance got engaged which I was so happy for them. I found out that I was pregnant with our first child a few months ago, I was asked a few weeks earlier to be a bridesmaid. I have declined the offer now as I know that I will be very pregnant for their wedding. They have now told my family that they are going to have a big Las Vegas wedding ( which SHE wants). My brother would have been happy getting married on the beach here in British Columbia where it is just absolutely beautiful. I definitely respect the fact that she wants to have a big wedding with the white dress and all of that. The fact is though, my brother is not rich and neither is my family. She has a very low paying job which I know a lot of the expenses will fall on my poor brother who is already is a lot of debt from school. They are requesting everyone to fly down there and pay for their own expenses, no problem. My husband and I just don’t have the money to go so we will miss the wedding, also i will be over 7 months pregnant at the time and would really prefer not to fly out of the country. He is my only brother and I am so upset that I will not get to see him get married. My family is struggling to be able to pay their ways down there, and it is looking like they may not be able to go either. I kind of thought they may reconsider the Vegas wedding as none of us can go, but she is adminant on having it there. My brother has recently told us that he doesn’t care if we can make it or not, he wants to give her the huge, expensive wedding she has always dreamed of ( and can’t pay for). What are some of your thoughts on this? I respect the fact that it is their wedding and they can have it wherever they please, but since most of out family can’t go, wouldn’t you try to figure out another alternative? I am so sad!
Thank you everyone for your advice, it has really helped me become less stressed today. VERY Much appreciated!

justme asked: I asked my sister to be my Matron of Honor. I knew financially she couldnt do anything because shes on welfare but I wanted to have her by my side as well as her daughter my niece as the flower girl. I told her not to worry I would cover all that would be necessary. As far as the dress, shoes, hair, makeup, accomodations and transportation. We live in California but we are having our wedding in Las Vegas. She said she would be happy to. And so I got her dress, shoes, a condo for 4 days 3 nights. I have also got everything my niece needs as well. The whole process has been painful. Everyday or every other day she tells me she cant be in the wedding and that neither can my niece. For financial reasons. So then I cover whatever it is and then shes back in. On Monday she called to find out about the gas money for the trip. We came up with $200.00 for the roundtrip. She said $250. Refused to give an explanation for the amount or they wont be in the wedding.My fiance wants her out of wedding
If i cut her out of the wedding Im going to lose her and my niece in my life. If I leave her in the wedding how much more is it going to cost or drain me emotionally. Ive spent tons on having them both in the wedding because I love them both. I feel like shes totally taking advantage of me and the situation. Shes bringing her husband for the trip and we will be paying to feed him for 4 days three nights as well but he isnt even coming to the wedding. Ive done everything i can.

cal_gal_81 asked: My fiancee & I decided to have our wedding in Las Vegas in June. Kinda cutting it close but my dad & step-mom offered to pay for the ceremony & my dress so we don’t mind bumping it up a few months. All our immediate family mom’s, dad’s, siblings already said they’d be able to make it.
So they chapel we’re having the ceremony in only holds up to 70 people. Our list including us stands at 68, of those 68 we assume (lol i know we shouldn’t but oh well) that 9 won’t be able to make it.
His grandma had mentioned all her family in texas being able to make it. They aren’t on our list an we only have room for 2 more people. Any advice on how to deal with this one?
I’m usually pretty straight up but I can’t be that way with grandma even I’m not that mean LOL. Should we just not worry about it & hope it isn’t brought up? Or should we plan ahead so we know how to answer the questions that might come up as to why certain ppl aren’t invited?
the other reason we’re not wanting more than 70 people is we are footing the bill for dinner and we don’t want to pay for more than 70 people, we budgeted it out perfectly with 70 when the chapel told us that was what they could accomodate.
Paula Christina I think you misunderstood Grandma is invited her relatives in Texas are not.

Chloe’s mom asked: I am flying to Las Vegas and am nervous about transporting my dress. I was always told NEVER check your gown – carry it on. Has anyone had issues with this when traveling Delta Airlines? Will they store it in the 1st class cabin closet for you?

PeBz♥DeLz asked: Hey there,
My fiance and I are considering to get married overseas, Hawaii or Las Vegas (not drive-thru). As we are from Australia, and that is a fairly far from America – we were thinking of only inviting our close families. In total that is 18 adults and 3 children (as we will be paying for their flights).
Do you think with such a small guest list, the wedding ceremony might not look nice?
Thanks =)
Could I see photos, if avaliable, of your small intimate wedding?

♫ asked: My fiance and I are having a very small ceremony (about 15-20 people max) at the Excalibur in Las Vegas. Basically, it’s our immediate family going and that’s that.
Since it’s such a small group, we figured we would just go to dinner with everyone and one of the restaurants in the hotel or near by instead of planning a full on reception.
My question is, should I run up to our room and change out of my dress/ him change out of his tux before doing so? Or have you ever been to a wedding where you do dinner at a restaurant and the bride and groom stay dressed in their ceremony clothing?
I wouldn’t mind wearing my dress, i’d love to show it off more! lol , but I just don’t know if it’ll be strange. Then again, it is vegas..
Any opinions?
It’s not going to be in a buffet..it’s a nice, sit down place.
It’s in vegas..but not very “traditional” vegas style. We chose it because its a middle point between both of our families (They’re from different parts of the US)
at a buffet*
ugh, sorry for all the typing mistakes..i’m trying to get some details finished while doing this! haha
