Linwood Mccory: I think for some guys it seem wear because they are used to doing it the traditional way.
King Bringle: Well the first thing you need to do is establish a budget so you know what you can and cannot do financially. The average price of a wedding in the US that involves about 100 people (the Bride, the Groom, wedding party members, and guests) is $20,000 - $25,000. And that figures covers wedding invitations, wedding rings, wedding attire, renting a hall, serving your guests a nice three course dinner, hiring a band or disc jockey, hiring a photographer, and selecting a three-tiered wedding cake.My best advice to you is do not put a deposit on things NOW that you cannot pay for later. Many of the wedding professionals and service providers (for example, the photographer or the wedding cake baker) will require a 33% or 50% deposit so it is important that you keep tract of your budget so you will have enough money to pay all of your bills when they ar! e due (usually within 14 to 30 days before your wedding day).Here's some examples of recent real life Brides and Grooms who lost control of their budget . . Bride and Groom # 1 picked out two expensive wedding bands. The week before their wedding they did not have the $1500 needed to pick them up. They were married with wedding bands from Wal-mart until they could afford to pick them up (months later).Bride and Groom # 2 picked out the most expensive wedding album and photography package that the photography company offered. Their wedding was three years ago, and they still have not paid the balance due or seen any of their photographs.Bride and Groom # 3 did not take take into consideration all of the extra expenses involved with having an outdoor ceremony and reception. When they realized how much the tent, tables, chairs, dishes, silverware, and glassware were going to cost they moved their ceremony and reception to a community center that offered in-house catering. ! They lost a $500 deposit on the original ceremony site.Answer! ed by: A Certified wedding specialist / A Professional bridal consultant / A Wedding ceremony officiant...Show more
Heidy Fujikake: It would be really awkward.. but I would still say yes if I was planning on asking. Would actually be kind of neat if I happened to have the ring on me when she asked.. sort of an aknowledgementt we are both ready and have thought of it.Avoiding anything that serious like the plague atm though. Plan on moving out of state in a year or two; don't want anything keeping me here....Show more
Wilbur Marksberry: i have been to a ton of weddings and never saw anyone faint except one.. the bride fainted at the reception because she didnt eat all day.
Jesse Japak: I would be very surprised, since I'm 15
Cassondra Vanholland: People get nervous and lock their knees. It cuts off blood flow and makes people faint so the blood can start flowing again. It happens a lot at choir competitions.
Toya Braskett: My husband and I both! discussed marriage and then went ring shopping together - no proposal. However, he would have loved it if I proposed! I, on the other hand, don't enjoy playing the part of passive woman waiting around for a man to marry me - I would have been irritated by a proposal, but fortunately my husband doesn't think in those terms to begin with.
Nia Monopoli: Would laugh on the outside, deep pain, pity, and embarrassment on the inside.
Corrina Faro: You give what you can afford and that's all. If there is something you do well as a craft, give them one. I never lose sleep over wedding gifts. I give what I can comfortably afford, and it's always been appreciated.
Minh Lefrancois: I would say "Oh no you didn't" and said yes anyway (if I really loved her as much as she did)BTW she is a metaphoric girl cause I don't have a girlfriend in real life, i am a loner :(
Shaunta Paap: I never saw that but there might be several reasons...overwhelming life change, too cr! owded creating higher temps, nerves, lack of nutrition etc
Jude K! ennelly: It's OK...but ONLY in a leap year.
Margart Stimpert: A lot of men do not want to wear a ring, mostly because they do not like jewelry. Pick him out a small plain band. You need to find and book your venue[s] ASAP if you decide on an inside wedding or reception. A simple wedding can be planned in a couple weeks, putting all your time into it. The bigger, the more time. do you really want the pain of a tattoo at the reception? Seems a little extreme to me. Go to a website like The Knot or ourwedding.com for customs and etiquette rules. they have planning lists, too.Make a list of what you will need. Flowers, your dress, bridesmaids dresses, gifts for helpers, cake, food, drinks, music, decorations for the reception. and all the little things like toasting glasses, corsages for honored guests, chairs, tables, something to eat off of and with, glasses, table linens. and on and on. Your local party store will have lots of ideas, and has rental things for wedding a! nd reception. Go get the ideas, and if money is a problem, go elsewhere and get what you can for cheaper. the Dollar Tree has napkins and plates that match. Your selection of colors will be less, but they might have exactly what you want.Congrats on your engagement. Now go to those websites! And be sure and write everything down that you buy, as you buy it, and check things off your list as they are done. Much easier to be organized....Show more

Adrian Paraz: Get a wedding checklist (timeline), so you will know what to do first, next and last. Most people plan their weddings for a year, but it can also be less or more than that. Most answerers here are suggesting The Knot. It is good, but don't limit yourself to it. There are zillions of blogs by brides-to-be and newly weds, detailing all the wedding planning they did. As a bride-to-be myself, I drop by The Knot once in a while, but follow! lots of brides' blogs, as they have tons of ideas, especially budget f! riendly ones that the wedding industry wouldn't really recommend (because most budget-friendly ideas mean a bit of loss of profit for them). Martha Stewart weddings also has good ideas. Also drop by Weddingbee and Mareeyah.com weddings, 'coz they have lots of very good ideas on wedding planning and details too....Show more
Michal Semple: BTW, I'm engaged (he asked me). I was just curious about how guys feel about being asked by a girl.
Darrin Hixenbaugh: Sign up for www.theknot.com! It's completely free, I swear, and I promise this isn't a scam... although now that I think about it, most scams seem to start with that same statement.Once you sign up if you look at the top of the page it has "tools" for your wedding like a budgeter (my favorite because we're super broke) and a checklist! It tells you everything you need to know and then some. Good luck and congratulations!!...Show more
Jamika Gregorio: Simply for Drama.
Pasty Cobbett: Assuming that y! ou did really care for her. Would it make you feel odd or put on the spot? Would you just say "yes" if you had been planning to propose anyway?
Robt Heemstra: Talk to your boyfriend about this. I'm pretty sure he will understands. Don't visit your in-law with your family. You don't have to feel guilty because this is beyond your control.
Georgina Natal: the groomsmen may have had a late night (hungover)
Kris Bozelle: You need to pick your date or your venue (location) first. You might have to do pick the venue first if it is something that gets booked up easily. If the venue isn't very important then decide when you want to get married and set that date! Next, got to www.theknot.com. You can enter your date and they will give you a step by step timeline and checklist of what you need to do. Seriously, it has EVERYTHING you will need, and will tell you when you need it. Good luck! and Congrats!...Show more
Zulema Baccam: I have no idea what to d! o. I know i need a dress and bridesmaid dresses and what know but what ! are some rules that go with a wedding? How long does the average wedding take to plan. I want a simple but pretty wedding nothing huge prolly outside with all my family and friends prolly 150 people. (if that) And ya. But ya what are some pointers and things that need to be done like NOW. Thank you any information would be GREAT thank you. Also we are gonna get wedding bands tattooed on at the reception. Also my fiance said he didnt want to were a wedding ring due to he dont like jewelry is that normal? (i told him he HAD to though and he is now) lol...Show more
Collin Pelfrey: I've seen it a lot on tv but never in person. I know it's because a lot of them have their knees locked. Something with the circulation. Also fainting happens at warm weddings when someone is dehydrated or not eating well. It also happens when either the bride or the groom are super nervous, they may start breathing faster and more shallow. That along with your knees locked will most likely cau! se you to pass out for awhile. That would be horrible. I've seen it on America's funniest home videos and I'm scared to death that would happen to me or my fiance and I'd be dead embarrassed!...Show more
Caroyln Ebach: theknot.com is a wonderful resource! You can adjust the time it takes to plan your wedding and the website is wonderful to help you with that! You can put in the possible date you like for the wedding and it will tell you what needs to be done this month and has a checklist so you can check things off as you do them! It also has a budget calculator which is awesome and a guest list log which also has an RSVP checklist. I love it and I am on there everyday! Not to mention it is covered in other resources and I love the real wedding pictures and ideas. It has a million different ways to make you day special and unique! As far as the wedding ring, that is a decision between you and your future husband. There are no laws concerning having to wear wedding je! welry. It sounds like you really want him to wear it and like you might! already have the issue resolved! That's cool about the wedding band tattoos at the reception, then he cant ever take that one off!!! CONGRATS~...Show more
Neely Youngblut: Mainy two reasons: 1. They are bored and they just fall asleep. 2. Weddings are painfully boring for everyone other than the bride. So most of the guests will be on an assortment of medications, including the groom. Also, it will be common practice for people to share the drugs, so you end up with 400 zoned out guests each on a cocktail of diazepam, soma, ativan, thorazine and maybe a little thalidamide tossed down the gullet for good measure. And this is your typical white middle class American wedding. Two generations ago you'd have to add LSD-25, purple microdot, some 714 "sopors" ad some magic mushrooms to the mix. This is BEFORE the reception when most of the invitees have not yet soaked their misery in alcohol. People can't remember if they're at a funural or a wedding, they can't hear themse! lves talk and they forget how to breathe. That's when they begin to bark at the moon, make out with the family dog and yes, sometimes thay faint. But who can blame them. They're just regular working people trying to cope with the madness and the filthy wedding hall, their jealousy (DEBI wanted MEEEE!!! Damn you MARC!!!! - vomit- ) the best way they know how....Show more
Guy Bonamico: I've never seen that happen at any wedding I've been to. But when it does happen, it is because people don't eat so their blood sugar drops.
Pasty Cobbett: I wouldn't like it one bit, not at all--I am all for tradition.
Faviola Dewire: Hey, if he does not WANT to wear a wedding ring, then tell him you don't either, just buy you another kind of beautiful ring, and see how he feels about that. If he can't wear the symbol of his promise (unless he needs to take it off for work), then he does not need to be married.When you resolve that problem, buy you some wedding magazines, an! d look up weddings online. You will get all of the information you nee! d to know how to plan one.Best wishes for a wonderful future....Show more
Judie Kise: if i really did like the girl i would say yes but it would be a bit awkward
Ewa Homrich: a common reason for fainting during long ceremonies such as weddings is that people tend to stand with their knees locked. when you lock your knees it cuts off blood flow from your lower limbs back to your heart. fainting is one quick way for the body to get blood back to the heart and brain. basically, just don't lock your knees and remember to shift your weight periodically.
Antonia Boomershine: Little food. Locked knees. and over emotional are 3 reasons that they faint. Another reasons is maybe they want to be on America's funniest home videos and try for 10,000 :)
Benny Stehno: Ks is right - due to nerves and locking their knees. Another reason can be due to heat. My husband almost passed out as a groomsman because the church was not air conditioned and unbearably hot. ! (well over 100 degrees inside - it was nearly 100 outside) He wasn't the only one - everyone in there was about to pass out.
Johnny Sirko: These people are not close friends. They've invited us to their wedding. I want to give a check but not sure how much?
Russell Mckinzie: Congratulations! I just got engaged as well, about 3 weeks ago. My fiance and I had been talking about getting married for a while before he actually proposed, so I've had some time to find some great wedding websites. As others stated earlier, theknot IS a really good website. It's very helpful with budgeting ideas and you can get a lot of creative ideas off there as well. I also like offbeatbride.com. It's a blog completely about unordinary weddings. Some of them are very different, while others are just unique. Another great website is etsy.com. It's a website that has a lot of handmade, vintage, and other odds and ends items. You can get wedding invites, veils, accessories, dresses, ! and all sorts of unique items off there. It's funny you mention the tat! tooing at the reception because my fiance wants to do that exact thing. I think it's an awesome idea. He wants a ring too, but just in case he has to ever take it off, he will still have a symbol of being a married man. Congratulations again, and good luck with your wedding planning!...Show more
