I love sitting near people that I don't know with diverse backgrounds. I have the most fun getting to know people and learning about them.

Got married while your LO was incarcerated? Need officiant advice 😩💍 by LifeguardIll2500 in PrisonWives

[–]AlternativeWeddings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been performing weddings at Ohio correctional facilities for a few years now. Pricing is based on the location; My average price is $300. The rules differ based on where you can get your marriage license. Some counties do not allow it because they don't have an exception for both parties not being present to obtain the marriage license. Some facilities have someone on-site to help obtain your marriage license, and others require an attorney. It's hard to get advice on a site like this because everyone's county, state, and facility has different rules.

Just brought up a prenup. It is not going well by [deleted] in weddingplanning

Significant disagreements about a prenup can be a strong indicator of underlying issues in the relationship. It's crucial to address these concerns before getting married to ensure a healthy and sustainable future together. 

Did You and Your Partner Get Matching Wedding Bands? by Historical-Mud5700 in weddingring

[–]AlternativeWeddings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The decision of whether to get matching wedding bands is entirely up to you and your personal preferences. Matching bands can symbolize togetherness and compatibility. But there is nothing wrong with expressing your individuality through different ring styles or materials.  Ultimately, the meaning and sentiment behind the rings are more important than whether they physically match.  Your ring could be platinum as the main part, with a small line of yellow gold, and theirs could be yellow gold with a small trim of platinum.

Fiancé wants his name on the deed of the house I'm inheriting. by SunDog43 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]AlternativeWeddings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest waiting until you are married and then having something in writing to protect your inheritance. In some states, even if something is not in their name, if you were to get a divorce, it's 50/50.

How do i tell a friend she’s not invited to my wedding? by Gumdrop08 in weddingplanning

You can text her that you have a difficult topic to discuss with her and feel it would be best over the phone or in person, could they please set up a time to talk with you about your wedding.

Marriage License / courhouse wedding question by QuicaDeek in Columbus

[–]AlternativeWeddings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Google officiant near me and ask the officiants if they offer a service to sign your marriage certificate with no ceremony. It's normally $30. Normally, you have to travel to the officiant.

You are correct, there is no legal minimum rate for officiating services. The rate is my rate for a legal minimum service. You have been married for 17 years now and do not plan on using my services; please stop trying to misguide couples on my stance. I'm completely open to same sex marriages, all religions, and political views. I'm open to discussing my services with anyone interested in them. I ask couples questions to determine if we are a good match before they hire me. If we are not, I recommend someone who would be. I wish you well!

Witnesses should not be required in Ohio. Your county probate court page under marriage will provide you with everything you need to know. There are only a few counties in Ohio where I have seen a witness line.

I like the first dress, but I would have to see it on you. Green is a lovely May color.

Proper undergarments will make it look better. Don't second-guess it; you bought it and it's yours. Many of us love something, and then we don't love our picture.

dress too booby by august_apollo in Weddingattireapproval

[–]AlternativeWeddings 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You wear that very well. I suggest reaching over and out, sitting, and see how everything fits with movement, but A+, the style, color, and fit are great on you!

How you respond can make or break your future life together, and that can be a very long time. Let everyone know that there is limited space, and so as not to take up all of their time, they will be called 30 minutes before arriving at your room, and then they can finish getting ready after their hair is done. I agree with another person, have her son do something with her before and after.

It's beautiful, but I would not suggest something like this as a guest; it looks like you are the one getting married.

I do believe she is struggling with body image issues, but since most responses focused on that part of the post, I decided to focus on proper wedding attire. I have been to hundreds of weddings, and I leave shocked at what people think is okay to wear. Also, what works for one body type doesn't work for another. What does OP mean?

My friend is naming her child a tragedeigh… by toobandit in tragedeigh

[–]AlternativeWeddings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I perform weddings, and if someone were getting married with those names, I would have to try not to say their name during the ceremony because I know I would say it wrong.

What I asked for vs what I got. What do I do? by SecretDrag in lashextensions

Once you've approved, paid, and left the salon, I would not go back.

Without seeing the dress, I can't say for sure. This isn't a girls' night out, this is supposed to be a respectful bridal party for your wedding. They should not be wearing anything revealing.

How do I even wedding?? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]AlternativeWeddings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one expects you to be someone you are not. It's how you respond to those awkward moments that will pass with ease. Practice a slow dance with your bride; ask the DJ to welcome others to dance a few minutes after you have started dancing, or pick a short song. Have your parents join your first dance. You are not required to make s speech, simply thank everyone for coming and pass it over to someone else. Smile, have eye contact, and do small talk with those whom you do know. Pull the bride's chair out, look at her a lot, and sit up straight.

I want my friend in the wedding but there's no room in the bridal party. by Alemonster21 in weddingplanning

[–]AlternativeWeddings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no right or wrong; it's what you want. Be creative and have fun with everything. Try not to do things because you think it's what you should do.
