2 weddings?

Wilbert Shellgren: look, it's your wedding. she's your mother, she should come to vegas. if you don't want to have 2 weddings, i don't think you should. it's going to be hectic and frustrating to plan one wedding, let alone two, and it will be worse if you're planning for something you don't want to do.your mom should be more understanding to what her daughter wants

Marna Liddie: Do you reside with your fiance? the only time my pastor has mentioned a pair pass up their wedding ceremony is that in the event that they have been residing at the same time, pregnant or already had little ones. he's in no way (to my understanding) made it a call for. you're able to be able to desire to enable the pastor be responsive to that waiting a 12 months is what you and you fiance have desperate on and that's what you will do, then pass from there and seem at dates to e book. exterior of that, any pastor could desire to be responsive to you're able to have purely one wedding ceremo! ny! you could purely have a million wedding ceremony in line with companion (or in line with marriage in case you divorce then remarry the guy). while you're married in a courtroom domicile, church, park, coastline, and so on it is your wedding ceremony. wedding ceremony: criminal end of the marriage (requiring a marriage license, officiant and witnesses) A vow renewal: no longer a marriage simply by fact there at the instant are not any criminal ends to it, you do no longer % a marriage license or any witnesses considering which you're already married. in case you agree on at a later date to have a occasion, you would be having a vow renewal ceremony, no longer a marriage. it particularly is as small or as difficult as you like. it is reminiscent of a marriage yet no longer quite a marriage considering which you're already married....Show more

Lindsey Zanardi: WOW-is your Mom going to dictate all that you do once you marry? I don´t agree with your decision because ! it IS your wedding, not anyone elses but you and your husbandÂ! ´s.We told everyone we were marrying in Vegas, and my sister´s himmed and hawed about it being so expensive, etc. (both husband´s make 6 figures). Anyway, I called my Dad and told him we were changing our location. He told me it was our wedding, and the only people that really needed to attend was me and my husband, and if I changed the location it wouldn´t be our day. He was so right!We married, and all my family and closest friends were in attendance-expensive or not. For those that couldn´t attend, it was on the internet.

Dawn Saha: By the way, I found out I was pregnant with his child yesterday and we split last week. So we weren't gunna get married cuz I was pregnant. Asshole.

Hunter Osterberger: Anything personalized always seems morespecial. You might get some ideas from the following page:http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=122732&b=14818&m...Hope this help! s....Show more

Marna Liddie: Me and my fiance just broke off our engagement and relationship and I'm wondering if I should give him the ring back. He broke up with me for the record. And I'm pregnant.

Son Ahlers: If he has a Humidor as well you can always get him a Box of Cigars.

Wally Perrien: HELL No unless he is nagging you to no end! Especially if you are pregnant. Girlfriend, you have to by pampers!

Emeline Albracht: Calm down and just wait a while. He might come back.

Raleigh Lufkin: both families need to realize this is YOUR wedding and you should be allowed to have it where you want it. If you do wind up having one ceramony and another party feel free to wear that wedding dress girl! It would be a shame to pay all that money and your family not even get to see it on you!

Micah Schwarcz: Monogrammed flasks are always nice. Also, since he got you a humidor, there are monogrammed cigar cutters out there too.

Rosella Figliola! : We are in a similar situation, except instead of having family in two! different states, we have family on two different continents. Our solution: have our wedding ceremony and first reception in Austin, TX because we live here, and then fly to India for a second reception. My family is all within a day's drive of Austin, and my fiance has some aunts, uncles, and cousins in Houston and Dallas; they'll all come to the wedding in Austin. A week later, we're getting on an airplane and going to India to have a second reception with my fiance's parents and the rest of their family and friends. It's much easier for the two of us to go there than it is for them to try to get visas and come here. If you decide to have two events, you definitely do not have to have another ceremony. If you did have a second ceremony, it would only be for show - you wouldn't register your marriage again or get another marriage license. Just have a nice reception with all the friends and family who couldn't come to the other event. I think it's perfectly fine for y! ou to wear your wedding dress for that reception, although you may want to wear something different. I'm wearing a bridal sari for our reception in India.I think you'll be happier having two events instead of just one event that many people can't attend. It's a lot of work, but I think it's worth the effort.Congrats!...Show more

Ronnie Sardi: Tell your mother that you love her dearly, but you want 1 unified celebration as you and your sweetie are going to be 1 family. If that means you run away to Vagas and nobody comes, it's their loss! Get the whole thing video taped or burned on CD and make copies for everyone who can't (or won't) make it. If mom wants 2 receptions, SHE CAN PAY FOR ONE OF THEM!...Show more

Wally Perrien: I think sometimes we get so caught up in the wedding that we forget what we want, and that is what is happening here. This wedding is about you & yours, not your parents, not his parents etc...You two need to do what you want to do and get! married where you want to..the cliche "do what you want and only make ! yourself happy-after all we are really only supposed to get married once". But if you insist on doing this two part thing then you do it however you'd like, my friends are getting married in Punta Cana and having close family and friends witness there and then coming home to Ohio and having the reception which saves money....Show more

Ruthe Real: I think the best answer here would be 2 receptions, see if mom can make it out to Vegas for the ceremony. You could wear your dress twice or get a simpler party dress.

Raye Tredennick: It's a different story when you're pregnant and your fiance is the father of your child. For the record, this means he broke up with you but is going to support the child when it comes out right? If I'm wrong then maybe you have to think about your situation for the second time. What will be his plans when the child within you comes out. You shouldn't just allow it that it's only your responsibility in taking care of everything as both of! you were in this even before you were not pregnant. Have another dialogue with him and straighten things out.

Jinny Dronen: Legally you need to return the ring. An engagement ring is an unfullfilled contract. Until you are actually married the ring still legally belongs to whoever paid for it. So you must return it to him. He could take you to small claims court and he would win 100% of the time. If you had sold the ring then you would have to repay him what he paid for it not what you recieved for it and I guarentee you that you won't get as much for it as he paid for it. Do yourself a favor and just return the ring. In the long run you will save yourself headaches.

Ronald Moehr: tradition states you keep the ring (he broke the engagement).however,the law usually says that the ring needs to be returned because it is a conditional gift.you haven't fulfilled the condition ie.getting married.law usually trumps tradition.you would need to check the law where you l! ive because some have a clause that the ring doesn't have to be returne! d if it was given as a gift for a birthday/christmas etcthis is a hard one,because i usually say just give it back - a lady always does this,and i wouldn't want a ring given to me by a man who didn't want to marry me or i didn't want to marry him.the mother in me however,that is saying screw him,sell it and use the money for your babyyou need to talk to him and gauge his feelings.he could very well take you to court for the ring (or the cost of the ring).i honestly can't say what to do.whatever happens,if you are keeping the baby,you need to sort out child maintenance and access now - you are tied to him for life,so you may as well try to be at least civil

Marhta Teahan: My boyfriends brother did that. They got married in AZ (where her family is) and had a small reception there. Then, they came back up here and had a larger reception (his family is HUGE). They had a blast. I don't know if she wore the dress here, I'm guessing no, as it was at a very casual place.

Dorinda Metzer: I have never heard of having several weddings to accomodate people in various areas. Nor do I understand the logic in having more than one. At every wedding I have attended in my lifetime (and those that other older relatives have attended), guests travel cross country to ONE wedding. If they can't make it for whatever reason, they mail a card and a gift. There is no makeup wedding or reception, nor does anyone expect one.If you are an adult, you need to put your foot down and tell your mother to stop dictating your life. Most people do that when they are 18. If you don't take action now, she'll walk all over you the rest of your life because you haven't stopped her from doing so....Show more

Hollis Demasters: I am on a tight budget and I can not do it in a church. Thanks

Rayford Latz: I'm getting married at the Michillinda Lodge in Muskegon, MI. It's not that expensive for the reception, they have tons of options, and the ceremony is incl! uded in the site fee. If you don't need to have a religious ceremony y! ou can use a justice of the peace for $50 or have a friend ordained online for free preform the ceremony.

Elfreda Grossen: Where do you plan on living after you get married? I suggest having the wedding where you will be living. Your family will just have to deal with it.

Andra Oger: Only ONE ceremony, then have a reception in both locations. But I looked at a map, and MN and NY aren't across the country from each other! If you and your fiance are paying for the wedding yourselves, I'd choose to have it in whichever city is your hometown, and just accept whoever comes! Family and good friends will travel!

Lue Podewils: I don't think people should get married just because they get pregnant - so it doesn't matter who broke up with whom to a certain extent. Your ex should help financially. If it doesn't look like he will be there for your child, yeah, I'd keep the ring.

Joel Feagler: We had this same dilemma. I am from Texas, he is from New York.Why! is it that your family cant come? Do you guys live in New York now? If they cant come to Vegas then how can they make it to New York?In answering your questions, its your day, you do as you'd wish. It is perfectly fine to have the ceremony in New York and have a reception only in MN. It is also perfectly fine to wear the same dresses, if thats what youd prefer.In my situation, we decided to have the wedding and reception in Texas, since that is where we live. We had originally planned to have another small ceremony type thing on our first anniversary in New York, but plans change when you find out you are expecting. Now that we are expecting our first child, we plan to have it baptized in New York....Show more

Kim Gerbino: Well, the day you have planned for him and your kids is very good gift to give him. I would certainly appreciate a gift like that if i ever get married and have children. What could he possibly want more then to spend time with his wife and c! hildren? If you really do want to give him something, wait until the ki! ds are asleep and have a candle lit dinner together or something like that

Ardell Luy: I need help figuring out what to get my best man in my wedding. I was his best man in his wedding a few months ago. he got me a humidor and i really enjoy it. i want to get him something classy like that as well but am having trouble being origional. i wont to spend about 100 - 150 dollars. any help would be awesome.

Lyman Gauld: Yes, return the ring to him.

Jill Thomer: just keep the ring since you need money now

Deangelo Marchak: I would tell your mom that if she wants you to have a second wedding there that she has to pay for it. Either that will change her mind or you will get to wear your dress twice, most BM's never get to wear their dress again, so they may feel that at least they are getting more for their money!

Bethanie Menden: Well if HAS to be two weddings.. then you make your parents pay for it.. IF not.. you get married the way that you want to! .. my suggestion is to just not have two weddings.. go down to destination wedding.. get married.. then have a huge party in both places. good luck.

Virgilio Echter: You can only be married in one state but you can hold a reception in every state if you wanted to. We had friends who were married in Florida (the bride's home state), had a lovely reception, honeymooned and then returned to the husband's home state to have another reception for all the husband's family and friends who couldn't attend in Florida. She wore her gown to both and we all had a great time!

Toya Braskett: Here are some links to some possible options however I am not sure about the price:http://www.michiganweddingsolutions.com/wedding_re...

Antonia Boomershine: If they are smoker possibly lighters with the date of the wedding on it. Coffee mugs or beer mugs- personalized. Or gift cards to local restaurants

Talisha Digrande: I think you should save it and unless he asks for it,! give it to your kid when they are old enough

Sammy Kar: If he sm! okes cigars and already has a humidor, you could get him his favorite cigars. If he has other hobbies, like golf, you could get him gift certificates for several 18 holes of golf with golf car rental. If there's something else that he really enjoys, I would get him something that was in that category. My DH's best man loves beer and collects beer steins so he go him a beer stein from Germany and a 12 pack of his favorite imported beer....Show more

Dalia Causby: How about you call him and tell him about the pregnancy. He may change his mind if he knows you are going to have his baby. (unless you want to get an abortion I would tell him immediately about the pregnancy).Yes return the ring if he bought it and wants it back. Better to not have that reminder around.

Malcom Fenoff: It's your wedding.Have it in Vegas as you planned.Whomever can go,will.I would not give in to your mom.When you get back you can plan to have a reception wherever you choose and no,you ! don't have to go through the whole wedding thing again.My neice got married in Jamaica and had a beautiful reception in her hometown when they returned and yes,she wore her wedding gown.The reception was all arranged before they left for Jamaica and it was lovely.They had their wedding ceremony put on video and showed it at the reception.It was almost like being there. Her parents paid to have this done as her mother is not a well person and they were unable to attend. If you give in,you will always have that nagging little doubt in your mind that you should have done it your way.I would stick with your plans and all the best to you and your fiance....Show more
