Weddings

• It is not written in stone that a mother has to give her daughter a personal gift, but some mothers may have a lovely piece of jewelry that they have had or the piece was given to the mother by her mother and she may want to pass it onto her daughter. The mother and father of bride do give a wedding gift either the day of the wedding at home or, leave the wedding gift at the reception.

Jewish wedding traditions vary by region and country. There is no universal rule that it has to be black. In fact, many grooms dress in white suits.

• There is no special monetary amount a father has to give his daughter on her wedding day. If the father is fairly wealthy he can give her a sizable amount of money; a home; piece of land, but for most fathers who work hard and have moderate means financially then give what you can and don't break the bank trying to impress your daughter and your new son-in-law. Your daughter will love you no matter what monetary amount you give her and her new husband. $100 to $500 is simply fine for a middle class person to give their daughter and son-in-law for a wedding gift.

Very carefully, if you consider here a friend (friends usually come to your party days) you will have to have a VERY good reason not to invite her and you will need to explain this reason to her.

well how longs a piece of string. The asnwer is however long you want it to be. When you propose you can still get your life together. An engagement is more of a promise than a commitment. Just make sure the other person knows how much you love them. An engagement is however long you need to get everything sorted out in your life and for the wedding. Hope that helps

As far as wedding aniverseries go, they end at the 60th year known as The Diamond Wedding Anniversary.

A night out is always fun or a nice piece of jewelry, a shirt, shoes, pants, any type of clothing really. But you obviously know your spouse better than I do, so think about what they would want.

You could buy a wedding anniversary ring for him or her. It's better if you buy real gold.

I think a handmade gift would be precious, such as a jewelry, a bunch of roses. What matters is a cherishing gift given genuinely and sincerely.

It depends on where you live.

In Western cultures, traditionally wedding rings are exchanged during a couple's wedding ceremony, on the engagement ring finger. With this, you may wonder what happens to your engagement ring? Just before the wedding ceremony, the engagement ring is exchanged onto the right hand so the wedding ring can be placed onto the left hand, to be worn closest to the heart. After the ceremony, the engagement ring is then placed on top of the new wedding band.

Although this is the traditional way of pairing rings, couples are now choosing different ways to style them. From wearing the wedding ring on top of the engagement ring, to joining the two rings together so they become one. Regardless of how you chose to wear them, you should always ensure that both your rings are comfortable and sized properly.

Around the world, it is not just wedding bands that are exchanged at ceremonies. In customary Indian weddings during the Var Mala Ceremony, the bride and groom place beautiful flower garlands around each other’s necks. This is to show the bride has accepted the groom as her husband. And it is not just fingers that wedding rings are worn on. In traditional Hindu cultures women wear toe rings, known as bichiya.

Whether you wear your diamond engagement ring and wedding band on your right hand or left, your index finger or thumb, your ring finger is not what matters. More than just beautiful pieces of jewelry, your engagement and wedding rings symbolize a promise of your commitment to one another, your future experiences and your union together. They are an unwavering symbol of your love, now and Forever.

BOTH bridesmaids and groomsmen are optional, and they usually have a Maid of Honor and a Best Man.

THINK OF THE DRESSES THE LADIES WEAR TO THE ACADEMY OR GRAMMY AWARDS. THE GLAMOUROUS KIND THAT FEMALE ENTERTAINERS WEAR WALKING ON THE RED CARPET AND YOU WILL KNOW WHAT I MEAN. THE DRESSES DO NOT HAVE TO BE REVEALING AS IF YOU SCOUR THE LOCAL BOUTIQUES YOU WILL FIND DRESSES THAT ARE MORE MODEST AND COME WITH JACKETS. TRY YOUNGER-LOOKING MOTHER OF THE BRIDE TYPE DRESSES.

COLOR MATCHING SHOES ARE ALWAYS GOOD BUT IF YOU CANNOT FIND SHOES TO MATCH, GOLD, SILVER, OR BEIGE TONE SHOES ARE ALWAYS HELPFUL AND FLATTERING. DO NOT FORGET ABOUT A NICE, EVENING PURSE AS WELL, TO COMPLETE THE LOOK.

Both wedding rings and engagement rings are worn on the left hand on the ring finger (i.e. the finger between the middle finger and the little finger). Traditionally the wedding ring goes on first and then the engagement ring.

* You could give a wedding gift or, if you choose to give money you would give it to the Bride and Groom and not just the Bride. Generally money is given in the Wedding card, or, some Bride and Groom's have a 'Money Tree.' Give what you can afford and try not to second-guess what others are giving. Family generally will give more money than friends of the Bride and Groom.

More to my question - I have known for about 8-9 months and he does not have a clue that I know. (That he's got an engagement ring) We live together for almost 2 years now and have bought a home together in the past year. We talk of getting married, know the colors, the season, bridesmaids and best men, etc.... Half of the times he will be the one initiating coversation reg. "our wedding" but I am not sure why he won't propose. There has been many opportunities..... HELP! I am starting to think that he has second thoughts....
REPLY:
Is there a date for your wedding?
If yes, then a proposal is superfluous. It's a wedding ring.
If no, the next time you talk about your wedding, ask him when he wants to marry. Make a date.

When you talk about getting married, does it make a dreamy, hypothetical impression? ("What would be the best season.." "If we marry.." "What colors would you chose..")
If so, could he be exploiting you?

* A nice pant suit; dress; long skirt and top or short skirt and top is acceptable. It depends on what attire the individual is comfortable in. Some women enjoy getting dressed up (one should not out-dress the bride or her bridal party) while other women choose comfort. For men a suite, shirt and tie are appropriate. The jacket can be removed after the formalities at the reception.

Right hand and ring finger :) and I'm not sure if the right hand is the married hand and if it is then put the ring on your left hand but same finger

Yes, I do. It's called courtesy. If I was invited in the wedding and I am not attending it, that's my problem, so they don't have any fault. So why shouldn't I give the wedding gift. I'd surely give it.
