Wedding Planning

The vows between a bride and a groom vary for each couple. A typical vow between a bride and groom is a promise to love one another in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, until death.

Traditionally, the brides parents give an engagement party and the party is to be held in their home. Although now, engagement parties can be hosted by anyone close to the couple. Today the parties can be as formal or casual as you wish to make it. It's also becoming more common for the couple themselves to throw a "couples shower" at their home or another venue which can be much like an engagement party.

A bridesmaid is not required to give the Bride anything on her wedding day with the exception of a wedding gift to: Mr. & Mrs. _____________at the reception. It's the Bride that should be giving her Maid of Honor and Bridesmaids a gift and usually it's jewelry.

Something that was passed down from generation to generation like a peice of jewelry that belonged to one of the grandmothers of the bride. In these recessionary times, I would advise on good old money or cash. In this way, the bride and groom can buy whatever they need not whatever other people think they may need or want.

• The relationship between the bride and groom's parents are 'in-laws.' It's an extension of family through marriage.

At a Jewish wedding the groom stands next to the bride, on her left; both of them facing Jerusalem.

Muslims listen to a sermon then pray Jumaa prayer. Jumaa means "gathering" or "mass" (Friday in Arabic is named after this prayer).

What really takes place in Friday in Islam is namaz-e-Jumma

Jumma Means Friday in English

Jumma is important Because if a Muslim doesnt pray so it is compulsory for him to pray namaz-e-Jumma 'cause according to hadith

"If a Muslim doesnt pray Nammaz-e-Jumma I Hazrat Muhammed PBUH will like to Burn That person's House"

It is also said that Every will and wish could come true if you are a Muslim, you are a True Muslim, you pray for your wish with your heart.

Dear (bosses name),

As you may know, I am engaged to ( girlfriends name) and we plan on getting married on (date).

In view of this I am writing to you to formally ask permission to take leave between the dates of (enter dates) for the marriage and ensuing honeymoon.

Yours

• Woman can wear a cocktail dress (not overly fancy, but dressed up with a scarf or jewelry); skirt and blouse; slacks and blouse with a jacket to go with the slacks. The men can wear sports jackets with slacks and clean shoes that match or, if a black tie affair they can wear tuxes with white shirt and black tie (if stipulated) or a suit with white shirt and tie.
  

Technically you are both the fiance/fiancee but by definition the fiance (with one e) is the man that is engaged to the woman and fiancee (with two e's) is the woman that is engaged to the man.

If you sincerely like or love her, I would say, EX: " Dear Carol, with the coming birth of your child, you are bound more closely to our hearts every day." .

If it says 'Regrets Only' then you only RSVP if you can't go. So if you can go you are not required to tell the host anything.

• Parents of the groom should only give the bride and groom what they can afford and not worry about how much the bride's parents give or other guests give them. It is foolish for parents to put themselves into financial difficulties over a gift. They can always give their daughter and new son in law an extension on a gift during Christmas, birthdays, etc. If you know whether they need a bedroom suite then give them money for that (if you can afford it) or, if you are pinched for finances then give them what you can afford and they can either put it towards their honeymoon or keep it to save up for something they want.

The brides name usually goes first before the wedding, like on the invitations it would be the brides name followed by the grooms. However, after you are married, the husbands name is usually first, such as Mr. & Mrs.

* The Wedding Invitation (large card announcing the couples up coming wedding) comes first and the RSVP (replies from guests .. the card and self-address and stamped envelope are tucked inside the Wedding Invitation and then put into the large envelope and mailed off.

This is generally still considered to be tacky, although it depends on where you are sending the invitation. It also depends on how formal the wedding itself will be.

first of all you shouldn't, did you know that lots of inmates are HIV / hepatitis positive?? Most women who do this, do it in order to qualify for welfare benefits. Get a job, even Min. Wage if necessary, and find a decent man to marry, one who you can trust any children that you currently have, or who may come along at a later date. You are their protector. Starting a relationship with someone in a prison isn't safe for you or your children. A Prison Counselor

This is a complicated matter which should be referred to one's pastor. If the wedding took place in the groom's church without a "dispensation from canonical form" coming from the bride's bishop (by way of her own pastor), then the wedding would be considered null and void in the eyes of the Church. Catholics are obliged to be married according to canonical form, that is 1) before their own pastor or a priest/deacon delegated by him, 2) according to the rite of the Church, and 3) before witnesses. This obligation can be dispensed by the bishop for good reason. If you have been working with a Catholic priest to prepare your wedding, then I would hope and presume the priest would have seen to having this done. To disregard this obligation to be married under 'canoncial form' or to fail to seek a dispensation from 'canonical form' risks an invalid marriage and is thus "serious matter" for the confessional. One who finds herself/himself in this condition should not be receiveing Holy Communion until it is resolved and one is given the 'all clear' from her/his confessor. Where would one go from here based on this scenario? More than likely, this marriage can be "convalidated" in the Church where one forms a new marriage covenant before a priest/deacon in proper (valid) form. Alternatively, it might be possible for this marriage to be declared sanated (that is, 'healed') by a declaration of Church authority, which would not require the new expression of consent. Again, your local Catholic pastor is the one who can and will lead you through this process. This would be the same procedure if a Catholic married in a courthouse without dispensation from form, or if one were married before a priest without jurisdiction (for example, a "Rent-a-Priest" who has left the priesthood or the jurisdiction of a diocese and claims to do "Catholic Weddings" on the side), or the case you present. All bets are off if there are previous marriages for either the bride or the groom. Previous marriages would need to be addressed before this marriage could be regularized in the Church. Obviously if both parties are not Catholic, they are not bound by Catholic law and can marry freely and validly (which, actually, makes it more difficult to declare these marriages 'null' if one of the parties would later want to contract marriage with a Catholic following a civil divorce). If a Catholic leaves the Church through a formal act, they are not bound by canoncial form and can enter this kind of marriage validly. (Of course, there would be great spiritual peril of leaving the Church altogether, but that's a whole other discussion.) Again, this is not the forum to receive proper pastoral care for these matters. Call your Catholic pastor and work with him. (And if you are unable to work with him or things don't seem to be getting done, find another priest you know and can trust to be your advocate in this important process.)

These days there is no hard and fast rule about who is expected to pay for the hotel accommodations.

While it is wonderful if the bride & groom (or their families) can pay for the hotel, it is very common now that the guests themselves pay.

To help ease this burden, there are several ways to help the guests who may be coming from out of town.

-choose a hotel close to the venue to minimize transportation costs (some hotels are willing to shuttle the guests)

-many hotels will give you a discounted rate on a block of rooms for special events

-goodie bags waiting for them (tourist info, snacks, etc.) in the room are a special way to say thank you for the effort.

-having a brunch or other special meal with the bridal party and all out of town guests is also a great way to get a little extra quality time in with the people who had to make the extra effort to be at the wedding (a great time to catch up and let them feel extra special!)
