Advice Chat: Bridal Showers

"Hi There, Recently my bridesmaids have been talking about hosting my shower. I was only planning on one shower but I have my fiancees family that are out of town. My maid of honor has said that most brides have two or more showers (work, brides family, grooms family). I was curious as to what is the norm. If I invite everyone to one shower many will not attend due to the distance involved. It would also make for one big shower. What is everyone else... "

Advice Chat: Disappointed with a bridesmaid...

"I know that some of you have talked about this before, but I just needed to vent a little. I have lived all over Canada growing up so I have friends everywhere. Two of my best friends are standing for me. One in Winnipeg who has been awesome, and one in Nova Scotia. The one in NS has NOT been there for me when I need her. I've talked to her maybe 3 times since I've gotten engaged and... "

HOT TOPICS: Making it her special day too.......

"I am 26 years old and had my daughter when I was 15. Her father left right away when I was 3 mths prego, my daughter has never met him. She is 10 now and loves my FH. the three of us have been together for 4 1/2 years, living together for 3 in our owe house. In Aug 2005 we had (our) first (my second) baby girl. So this mean MY daughter and I have the same last name and my 2nd daughter and my FH have his last name.... confusing! Anyway, the big change for us will be that my FH will be adopting my first daughter and we will all then have the same last name. She will be 11 when we marry and I am hoping to do something special for her that day to include her... i am hoping to get the adoption complete before the wedding (and not tell anyone - other then my FH) and make it official at my reseption and then my FH and daughter can have there first dance together as father and daughter Crying or Very sad Not sure what song to use just yet as these thoughts are fresh!...

Subject:

how I proposed!

"Hi, there! I'm new to the boards, been reading for a couple weeks to get ideas and such. And I thought I'd like to share our story! So, my now-fiance and I did things a little differently. At Christmas time, he gave me a beautiful ring, but it was meant to be a promise ring (as he did not want us to get engaged until after I was done school next year). Well, after that, I knew exactly where he stood, and I got it in my head that it would be cool for me to ask him to marry me. I was supposed to go away for teacher's college this September so I planned to propose to him my last night at home. However, when I realized he was not going to wait until after I completed teacher's college, I decided I couldn't wait. He's always treating me so amazingly, I decided it would be my perfect way to show him how much I loved him. I went out in April, and bought him a bracelet and planned on doing it at the end of May, the last day we would spend in our old apartment. However, once..."
