It depends a lot on the people.  I have 2 friends who live very far away.  The first got married, had a kid, & has changed a lot since moving.  So, naturally, our friendship has changed & we aren't as close, even though we have nothing against each other & would still be there for each other in a crunch.\nAs for the other one, he & I are actually closer since he moved away.  We stay in touch, talking at least once a week, & plan to take a cross country road trip next year.  He & I are both unmarried, have no kids, & are career-oriented, so our continued similarities probably help maintain our friendship.\nHe has noticed this as well, because he isn't as close to some people he used to be really close to in the past.  As some of his friends have gotten married & had kids, they don't seem to have time for him anymore, & have less in common.  With their focus on their families, they have less to talk about with guys who are still hanging out & chasing girls on the weekends.

I would avoid her and keep out of site, but still be in the wedding.  After that, dump her as a friend.  She is obviously VERY immature and if you aren't enjoying it, or her company, why keep her as a friend?

Snagg him up before someone else does!! after i got married (to my best friend) two years later i met another guy that is now my best friend and if my husband and i ever parted, i would choose my new best friend as my new life long mate. It helps that you guys are already best friends, that's a good stable foundation. Good luck, and make sure to tell him how you feel. Even if you don't say, show it.

Hi lady, Ya know I am kinda the same boat. Ive been married twice, the first one for 14 years. She is a great lady and all but we just grew apart. The second one was right after my first!!!!!!!! Bad judgment on my part! I found my second wife, I think too soon, because I was so lonely. Ive been divorced from her for almost 4 years and Im very happy. I said all that to say this, I dont know your whole situation but after my second divorce I realized it was my turn. I didnt have a lot of friends and found myself at home a lot cleaning or reading a good book. Now that sounds boring , but I was content at that time. I needed more, as well as you, I wanted to have some fun , as you I didnt get in the bar scenes so I thought I was limited. Well guess what , the few friends I did have were waiting for me to ask the same question you asked.  First I started going to football games with friends then to some races and now we have a group that meets every saturday at rotating houses to watch the races and socialize. Ive really found a great group of friends both new and old and havent been to a bar yet. My advice to you is to turn to your friends and tell them your delima. I guess my answer is FRIENDS!  By the way Im 43 and now scuba dive, play tennis and many other things all due to my few friends! good luck , you sound like a great lady

My husband and I met in late October 2004.  Within two weeks, I knew we were going to marry.  We moved in together almost immediately.  Although, I did keep my apartment until we were married, but never went there.  We took several road trips together.  We were engaged on May 13, 2005, and married on July 27, 2005. We are expecting our first child in October of this year.  I cannot imagine spending the rest of my life with anyone  else.  We are both 28 years old.  I have never been married, though have been engaged a couple of times.  I have never been more cetain of anyone or anything in my whole life.  Yes, we get on each other's nerves every now and again, but Phillip is my family, my best friend, my lover and husband.  I can tell him everything and talk to him about anything.  I have no doubts, regardless of what may come, we can work it out.  For me, divorce is never an option.  I will stand by Phillip whatever comes because I care about him and I am certain he will never purposely hurt me.  I would rather experience the grandest love and then lose it than never have known it at all.  I say go for it.  If you feel it deep inside yourself, take your love as far as you can.

Tell them exactly that - That you are having a very small intimate wedding and unfortunately you can't invite everyone, you don't have to go into details as to why if you don't want to - untimately it's your day!  Easier said than done I know - Im struggling with the exact same for my wedding. But your friends will appreciate hearing this from you rather than someone else. If they are true friends they will understand.

You would think you should start meeting people and getting ready.  Have faith, and don't be afraid to fall in love.  God's waiting for you both at the bottom.  You're joining together as one, working as one, creating as one a life, and a future that chances are, might hold a family.  It's perfectly okay to be married, as it is perfectly okay to be single.  God's timing is perfect, and His will is also.

Unfortunately that's going to happen despite your best intentions.  When planning my reception, we married out of the country and had a reception at home a week later, I had to put a stop to the number of people being included because my then fiance was wanting to invite everyone and their brother!\n\nWe finally settled on immediate family, close relatives (these are the ones you see/talk to more often than at funerals, weddings & family reunions), friends (talk to/see weekly or a couple times a month), parents friends who have known you your entire life, co-workers (that you see socially, not just in the office).  And even those we went over and over.  We too didn't want to leave anyone out but sometimes, it just can't be helped.\n\nAnd a big oversight to watch out for when doing your guest list is partners.  When you invite your friend Jill, don't forget to include her friend Jack as her guest,  married couples and significant others also count as 2 guests not just 1.  You didn't mention if you're including children.  (We didn't because I know several children who are finicky eaters and I wasn't catering to their picky appetites.)  So you could find that by iinviting your Aunt Mary and Uncle John and family you've included 5 people to your total guest list.\n\nI just saw someone else mention the wedding party count as guests too...but don't forget to count their partners, spouses, significant others, etc.

You cant invite people to a wedding reception if they dont know you are getting married. However, if you tell them before you get married they will wonder why they were not invited to the ceremony. This is a lose-lose situation, sorry.

Just invite your closest friends and relatives.It gets overwhelming if you have to many people there.Remember you have to feed all the people that you invite.I just got married two weeks ago and we spent alot on food and the cake and we ended up with food left over.

Wow, congratulations.\nI suspect you are asking about "married life" and not about the run-up to the wedding next month.\nThe first week, you'll be in total shock, getting used to the idea of being married, laughing when someone calls you "Missus Whatever". The first month, you'll be honeymooning (literally, "honey month"), getting used to living together, having the occasional moment when you bump or miss or say something wrong. The rest of the first year (and for the rest of your life), you'll be fine-tuning those early efforts, trying to get to learn all about another person. And don't kid yourself, even superficially shallow people can take a lot of study.\nCongrats and remember, take it easy. You've got the rest of your life to get it right.

Don't worry about your friends marriage. All marriages are different & they all have their up & downs. You will experience hard times, if you keep your communication open & don't play the blame game, you'll be able to make it through. You can also try counseling at those times to. It sometimes helps to get a 3rd opinion.\nYou might want to give everyone's advice to your friend. Sounds like she's the one who needs the help.

Well, seems to me you all need to spend some more time together!  IF you all are really serious about getting married then you all should be at that point in your relationship to communicate well with each other.    It's ALL about communication, trust and love.\n\nIt'll put your heart at ease to give him a call and meet up face to face to talk about everything you two are feeling right now.  It's a BIG step to take and everything should be out in the open with you two and comfortable with your decision.\n\nGL hun and hope all works out for you two!

Yeah yeah everyone says married and very few of them were married when they first did it. Go with your heart and brain dear. Its different for every couple. The best time is when you are both comfortable with yourselves and each other on an adult level.
