Depends on the formality of the wedding.Why not ask someone in the Bridal party.

Have an evening candlit ceremony back home with a dessert or hors d'ourves buffet at the reception instead of a full on meal.  When I got married I contemplated eloping, but realized I would regret not having my dad walk me down the aisle or having our dance....so, depending on what means the most to you, you should be able to decide what is best.  Congrats and good luck!

Etiquette and tradition state that the man should ask the bride's father for her hand and then propose to her.\n\nWell, throw etiquette out the window and think about it for yourself. \nAre you ready to get married? \nDo you want to propose?\n\nGo for it! It's unexpected, it's romantic, and above all else, it could be you! I promise if the woman proposes, nobody will walk up to her and say, "No, you can't get married until he asks you." \n\nTime's are changing so etiquette just needs to catch up!

It will depend on the religion of the person (or yu and your soon to be groom).  The person performing the ceremony should have a rehersal beforehand to walk you through it.

Specify "formal attire" on your invitation, and spell it out for them: suit and tie for men, dresses or evening gowns for women.  The reason I'd explain it for them is that "formal" takes on different meanings to different people... I've seen weddings where some immediate family members (i.e. ones that are supposed to appear in the photos after the ceremony) showed up in their very cleanest wife-beater tee shirts and jeans, and wondered why the bride was so upset.

I agree with Aria,Respect for the Bride&Groom is paramount.\nIf it's a formal wedding formal dressing is required if not \na formal wedding pantsuit,sundress whatever.

Can't see why there would be.  but be considerate and say something before the wedding if you feel strongly about it.

Depends on what you want really!\nI am planning mine at the moment, so we can learn together! I am having it at a register office. I had to call to book an appointment with the superintendant registrar. They asked me when I wanted to get married and booked it over the phone! Next week we have to take our passports and proof of address to the register office to prove we haven't been married before.\nWe are having the reception at a local pub owned by a friend, and the flowers I am doing. I am buying silk flowers I can keep forever. My friends are making food so we can have a big huge buffet!\nGood luck with your wedding, get in touch with your wedding date if you need any more help!!

Muslim wedding has 2 parts: first more related to engagement, second part - the actual wedding. They can follow very close or (usually) be few months or even years apart. Without wedding itself marriage is not legal.I went on two of them, got some pics.

engagement is not a legally binding contract (any more) so go ahead - but wait for the decree absolute before any wedding preparations!

I would say totally appropriate, probably 99% of weddings I've been to in the last 5 years have had some type of drop-box system for the cards.  Keeps from other people stealing them!

The important thing is for you and your beloved to have a day the feels special to the both of you.  Depending on where you live, some states allow a lay person(someone who is not a minister or a justice of the peace) to get a special license for 1 day, and they can marry you.  So that wouldn't be too expensive(maybe the person you ask to do it would even pay for the license themselves).  You could also find a justice of the peace, or go to your local city or town hall and ask if they do wedding ceremonies.  You could keep your ceremony small, and just have immediate family.  That way you don't have to pay for a lot of flowers or decorations.  Then for the ceremony, it depends on how many people you want to invite.  My ceremony was in my church, and then our reception was at a small hotel.  We had less than 50 people, but our total cost was still over $5,000, which included my dress, alterations, flowers, food, hubbies tux, etc.  If either of you belong to a church, you should be able to get married in it for a small fee(if any).  Then you could just do a small ceremony afterwards.  Some people are doing just appetizers, or just desserts.  It's basically just an hour or so, lets everyone mingle, then there could be a toast and people can go on their way.  As far as invitations, you can buy nice paper at an office supply store and print them yourselves.  If you have a small reception with just apps or desserts, include that so people don't expect to be fed.  But it's all perfectly okay!!
