hey there. Ok your job is basically to be there for the groom.make sure he gets to the church ect. but its more than this, he will have so much on his mind so you take care of the small things like making sure he has the rings ect. yes you organise the bachlors heres a tip if you want to score big with them both, no strippers or wild parties. the bride and groom are going to be pretty stressed and this could add to the stress. maybe just a really cool guys night out, think about it do you usually have wild uncontrolled parties when you usually go out?as for the mc thing that you will have to ask him, some best men are the mc sometimes there is a mc appointed!good luck its a privelage and honour to be asked

that was a great story clear up until the wedding ring part....i could literally hear the record needle scratching your awesome halloween party music to a silent and deadly halt.....If you're married then stop this thing before it starts. If you just said "missus" cause you were making a euphamism for your girlfriend, then explore whether you might need a change and be looking for someone new. But really. If you're married, you made a promise to her and even when a fine piece of miniskirt comes along, you got nothing if you don't have the promises you made to yourself and her. Best of luck to you!

The Bride is the BOSS at the wedding.\n\nIt's her day... what she says goes... \n\nIf she doesn't want Bridesmaids... done.  Next question?\n\nOh yeah... there IS ONE?\n\nHave them give a toast at the reception... or help with the carving of the cake or something... or just let them enjoy the ceremony as a GUEST.

ooohhh yes. the wedding of my dream. if it's my 3rd wedding, first husband will walk me to the altar ang give my hand to my fiance, the second husband will be the best man. the children will be the flower girl/boy. the 3 men will wear the same tuxido. and then we'll have big party, first I will dace with my new husband and rotate with the other 2. After the party, we'll send the children to my mom while the 4 of us going to our foursome honeymoon in Hawai. I wish it will be the dream come true some day.\nfor the start I'll have 3, as times goes by, i don't know how many will enter.

I was a bartender in a strip club for a few years. only so much can happen. \n Hes gonna be put on stage, a bunch of girls are going to dance around him, and he'll get a t-shirt.  big whoop. \nIf you think hes going to cheat on you with a stripper, you shouldn't be marrying him.  no trust-no relationship.\nwhile I do think that his best man is extremely insensitive, hes being a guy.  Its  what guys think they are supposed to do for the groom.  its almost a tradition. ....as sad as that sounds. \nand your FH isn't exactly arguing with him.  He wants to do it,  let him do it.  Then go plan your own.   Relationships ARE give and take right?

Well, you can always talk to the people at the table you're seated with.  Bring a camera and take lots of pictures of the bride and groom and your boyfriend - since he's the best man, he will be busy all day long - you could buy a nice photo album, arrange all the photos you took and give it to him as a gift.  I bet he would really enjoy flipping thru that!!  And it would give you something to do during the ceremony and reception.

Get your location, set the date and time\nAsk your best friend if she'll stand up with you...the groom is on his own! Skipping the Bridesmaid Chorus line simplifies planning since you only have to shop for dress/shoes/hairstylist for yourself and one other girl. Find a photographer (try the local college...a senior photography student may be available on much shorter notice and will be thrilled at the opportunity)buy a bunch of one use cameras to let guests take pics, too.\n(If you have the wedding around 1 0r 2 in the afternoon, you can have just  champagne for the toast then cake, punch and finger foods without looking cheap at the reception, much easier than dealing with finding a caterer on such short notice)\nThe dresses should be chosen and ordered as soon as possible, to allow for any needed alterations.\nDo your invitations (Craft stores and office stores have some beautiful "do it yourself" invitation kits...get one more package than you think you'll need to allow for a couple getting messed up. Mail them 4 to 6 weeks before the wedding.\nVisit bakeries and grocery stores to choose and order your cake (many grocers can make a cake just as beautiful as the fanciest bakery for a fraction of the cost and in far less time)\nAlso at the craft store, they'll have pretty little favours and lots of different ways to decorate or package them. Consider the possibility of using silk flowers for decorations, then you'll only need a florist for the Bridal bouquet and groom's boutenierre (I'm sure that's spelled wrong.\nAll that should keep you busy until a month before the wedding... Get the rings and the license.Send the groom and his best man to get measured for their suits and to reserve the ones they choose (If you can't trust him to dress himself....?)Reserve a big punch bowl and glasses at a party rental place.\nGet the dresses so you can try on the shoes underthings with the dresses (you don't have time for mistakes or changing your mind!) make any needed appointment for hair and nails.\nBy now you should have some idea of your head count... buy the ingredients for punch, figure on a quart per person, plus a gallon to be safe. For the champagne one bottle per four guests should allow for two glasses of bubbly per person, plenty for the toast...you don't want folks tipsy in the middle of the day any way.\nHit a deli to order cold platters, they can advise better than I can what quantities you'll need....buy the pretty paper plates and napkins.\n\nOne week before the wedding, the bridal couple should go out and do something that has nothing at all to do with the wedding.\nBREATHE!\n\nAll my best wishes for a lovely day and a long and happy marriage.

Hi, You have some great expectations here .you aim high that is a great assett to have!!!.i applaud you for your ideas and then truly searching for a way to make your dreams come true!!...I hope you have the best wedding and marrige of your dreams!!\nforgive my mistakes it seems yahoo answers corrector is on the blink...  :)\n...You can find out how to reach them from yahoo search by getting thier official website..and then...\nI would write to them personaly explaining how much it would mean to me first. I would also let them know I was willing and able to pay them well or offer to donate whatever amount they would like to the charity of thier choice , for the gig. I would end it by telling them to please think about it ....and that I would have my lawyer draw up a contract for their agent to look over and that if they would be so kind as to get back to me with a yes or a no I would appreciate it.I would also explain that they were they only preformers I had even considerd and would they please forgive your unprofessionalisim ..oh and of course add some words of your own to personalize it . It would have to be quite a plea to get them to say yes ...weddings are only one step up from the garage band..and the high school prom. They may be different and remember the days when they would have been overjoyed at such an offer....but if they are like most  preformers who have made it to the top....you probably won't even get a form letter back unless it is from a fan club member and then it still wouldnt be from them ..I sure do wish you luck and I hope you can touch thier hearts because that is what its going to take .....touch their hearts  and their wallets...and you may have your dream come true and by the way ..from now on picture in your mind ...them preforming at your wedding ...see them singing your favorite song as you and your new partner dance your first dance as man and wife...as often as you think about your wedding ...imagine them right there at your wedding.\nGOOD LUCK!!...nothing is impossible absolutely nothing!\n\nPeace

Your just like a doormat to your sister. She can just walk all over you and your letting her. Well girl its time to take charge. Tell her if shes going to be in your wedding then shes going to be a guest. You can find someone who is decent enough and worthy enough to be your maid of honor. Your sister is treating you like that because you LET her. Take charge and show her whos boss. And she also needs to apologize to you for making up lies about you and using you.

By "proper," I'm guessing you mean traditional.  Traditionally, the father walks the bride down the aisle, but if that is not an option for you, choose someone who has supported you throughout your life.  Someone that you would want to essentially represent you.  Traditionally, the bride and groom have several people in the bridal party.  You only need your best friend, or for that matter, just you and hubby to be.  Lets be honest, most of the time, the bridal party consists of cousins and siblings from both sides, and that tends to be the case because of obligation.  ALL the "necessary" dual dances...really, the only one that truly matters, is the one between you and that new husband of yours.  \nOn the flip side of this, try looking at from a different perspective:  without the immediate family members present, you can easily forego things you would comply with simply out of obligation.  My best advice: any wedding that is individual, well planned, and encompasses the two of you together should be considered proper.\nGood Luck

Keep it simple. \n\nThe Venue - you can have this outdoors with a markee or hire out one of your favourite cafes. \n\nThe dress - find a dress you love and get a dress maker to copy it. You can buy the material yourself to even reduce the costs. \n\nThe food & drinks - you buy the alcohol and pick a nice red and white wine with champagnes for toasting. Pick two beers for the boys make one a light. Finger food is a great option do you know a friend or take away/cafe that maybe able to help out.\n\nFlowers - get them from the market fresh the day before and put a relo in charge or helping arrange. Don't ask them for a gift just tell them their help is enough!\n\nCake - surely one of your relo's makes a great fruit cake. If so you can get a cake shop to put icing on top to match your dress material. \n\nCars - you only need two cars, see what resources you have a use two cars in the family. Otherwise hire two cars for the day this is so much cheaper than wedding car hire.   \n\nPool all your resources together, people are so willing to help. Just say to them not to buy a gift in return for their help this will be appreciated and you will find that they will still want to give you a token.

A typical macho man married a typical good-looking lady. After the wedding, he laid down the following rules: \n\n"I'll be home when I want, if I want and at what time I want... and I don't expect any hassle from you. I expect a great dinner to be on the table, unless I tell you otherwise. I'll go hunting, fishing, boozin', and card-playing when I want with my old buddies and don't you give me a hard time about it. Those are my rules. Any comments?" \n\nHis new bride said, "No, that's fine with me. Just understand that I have rules too. There will be sex here at seven o'clock every night - whether you're here or not..."

Are you officially married?  Do you love the person your with? Were your guests your close friends and family?  If yes, then most likely, the guests were just happy to be there to share such a joyous event.  What the event looked like, or actually cost, or what the service was like, means nothing compared to the joy, happiness, friendship, and company that's shared on a wedding day.  If you still feel upset about the reception, invite some of your closest friends/relatives, and throw a backyard bbq or small dinner.  That way, you can share some special time with the people you care about without having to worry about everything working out perfectly.\n\nCongratulations! Best of luck with your new marriage!

I totally understand what you are going through. I've found that the best medicine is just get extremely busy doing what you like doing, spoil yourself, take more time for YOU. Deciding that you do not have to have a boyfriend, but keeping your heart open if a wonderful man just happens to walk into your life soon! I went through what you are going through a year ago, and now I am married to my best friend and the most wonderful mate I could ever have asked for, and we are truly in love!!! So never give up on your dreams to find the right mate, and meanwhile just enjoy life!!!                                                  You will find that the perfect mate was waiting around the corner for you. So just love yourself and love others and be the best person you can be right now. Have fun, life is what you make of it!

If he is planning a Poker Party, have it at someone's home or at a local motel. Instead of a deli party platter and beer, hire a bartender and go all out with an updated catered buffet that includes wraps, mini pizzas, or a selection of pasta dishes. \nIf the event will involve drinking, make arrangements for someone else to drive the group, or book motel rooms for everyone to stay over. \nSchedule the bachelor party weeks before the wedding so that the groom can show up rested and sober to his wedding. \nIf there is going to be a stripper.....make VERY sure that you can handle anything that you can handle anything that some of his not-so-well-meaning-buddies might say about the evenings activities. Either trust him(fiance) completely, or request that either he not have a stripper at the party, or that you not hear anything about it from anyone if he does.
