Is it ok to have two wedding ring sets?
I know of people who have identical wedding sets, one set with diamonds and one set with CZs. They wear the diamond sets locally and the CZ sets when they travel.If you mean two different sets the question is why? If they are both diamond sets it can be very expensive to do this. I can't imagine anyone saying anything about having two different sets and only your friends would notice.
In legal terms, what happens if a missing person is declared legally dead, their spouse remarries, and then the missing person is found?
If you’ve been missing and absolutely uncontactable for minimum seven years, then you can be declared legally dead and your marriage no longer subsisting.That is the general picture in most Common Law countries. The period may be more in some countries, but mostly not more than 10 years.If memory serves, Robinson Crusoe was a castaway for only four years (the same for its real-life inspiration Alexander Selkirk), so your marriage would continue to subsist. That means the wife’s remarriage would most likely have to be annulled by court order.Update:—Let me explain further:—If the person had gone missing and declared dead (as the question had it), that means declared legally dead.For that legal declaration to happen, the court would allow petitions only for more than 7–10 years of disappearance. It isn’t going to let that happen for anything less.Since the wife has already managed to declare her husband legally dead and has also already remarried, the question is moot. The marriage with the ‘old’ husband has ceased to subsist by now anyway.In other words, her ‘new’ husband is the legal husband and there is little or no recourse for the ‘old’ husband to recover his marriage.
What is a guest book, and what purpose does it serve in weddings?
A guest book is for sentimental purposes, really. Your wedding will be a whirlwind, so you’ll quickly forget the fleeting moments you spent with some of your guests. The guestbook is just a sentimental token for you and your spouse to look back on and remember who shared your special day with you. Most times it’s placed near the entry of the ceremony and again at the reception so people can sign their names and write a little note or well wishes of their own.
Do you have to be a licensed minister to perform a funeral?
Sorry to hear about your grandma. I lost both of my grandmas years ago and I miss them. Mostly their cooking. Yes. Funeral parlors have people they call for such things, and they are not licensed. So long as you file the papers--death certificate, etc., anyone can do the eulogy.
How do I find out my son's FPO address in Iraq? He left in March but his wife refuses to give me his address.?
More about the wife. I like her, think she's sweet to him and perfect for him, but she has the wrong idea about my feelings re: her relationship with my son because she's hung up on her being biracial and me being white (therefore thinks I must be opposed to her, black/latino, being married to my son who is white/latino, when I'm not a racist at all! I love her!). Also she's mad because before they got engaged, during his first tour to Iraq, he requested a magazine with dark-skinned, scantily-clad ladies for his enjoyment. He knew the title of the magazine and since he grew up without a dad, I was the only person to ask. I don't think pornography is a big deal, and he IS a young man. I sent him the magazine, and he told her about it after they got married. So she hasn't spoken to me since then. I'm not sure what I can do other than what I did-tell her it was not meant to undermine her, and that my view on pornography if it's not hard-core is pretty relaxed. Now she won't speak to me, and I am desperate to write to my son or at least send him a care package, which she never got around to doing the last time, and probably won't do this time. I am afraid something will happen to him without him at least knowing I love him. I haven't seen him in over a year, since the wedding.
Should we cancel our wedding deposits?
FH and I were talking and are thinking about cancelling our deposits on venue and DJ and going a smaller route and have a ceremony with close family (still about 30 people) and then going to a nice restaurant for dinner. I would still wear my dress (being that I already have it). We would lose about $1,300 from our deposits, but save about $5,000 in the long run. Our wedding was going to be pretty small to begin with about 60-70 guests and cost about $7k - $8k, but for us that's a lot being we have no help and we want to buy a house. I am torn because I never have really been the "dreaming since I was a little girl" of my wedding, but I feel like I will miss out on not having the first dance or father daughter dance and little things like that. FH wants to go the small route and I am torn. I feel I want to go with the small ceremony and dinner, but I am afraid of regreting it in the future. ** Wedding is April 14, 2012 - but if we cancel we want to do it asap so we can try and get some $$$ back if possible.
