Wow a fiancee? Well, I think that you should just go up to them face to face and say, " This isn't working out, I'm sorry. It's time for us to move on". and NEVER EVER break up threw a text message or over the phone. That is the worst thing to do. He/she will have more respect for you if you say it to their face.

Do you return wedding gifts if marriage failed under one year?
NO.
Yes, if you save the receipt they can be.

If the wedding happens, but the couple ends up splitting within a few weeks, they are under no obligation to return the gifts, but it may be a good gesture, especially in the case of particularly generous gifts. The couple should consider their relationship with the giver, the length of the marriage, and the nature of the gift when deciding whether or not to return it.

Can the mother of the groom and the mother of the bride wear the same color?
* The mother of the bride and the mother of the groom do not wear the same outfit. Mothers will wear dresses and they may be different in fashion and color as long as the color of the dress stays within the guidelines of the colors the bride has chosen for her wedding: Example: If the bride's Maid of Honor and Bridesmaids have long or short dresses in a midnight blue then the mothers could wear soft shell pinks; soft blues, etc. The bride or grooms mothers should never wear white or off white. One mother may want to wear a short dress while the other mother may prefer a longer dress. If you can and your Maid of Honor or Bridesmaids are in long dresses see if you can't get your mother and future mother-in-law to wear a long dress as well as it looks better in wedding pictures, but if one refuses it's not worth a possible argument. You can take your Maid of Honor with you and take both mothers to a wedding shop and have a say in what you would like as far as style, but go easy on the moms and realize they may have a good reason for choosing a certain dress to match their body type. If it is a matter of money for one or both of the mothers then rent the dresses.
