I am so excited to be getting married in the Spring of 2013. My Fiancé and I have been together since our


freshman year in college at University of Georgia ( Go Dawgs!) and are still madly in love. We balance each other perfectly in every way. He is a saver, I am a spender. He is a Taurus, I am a Libra. He is a home body, and I am very social. It is true that opposites attract and has never caused a problem until now. You see, as we are planning our wedding parties I have found that because of my outgoing personality I have six of my close girlfriends that I want to be bridesmaids. On the other hand my sweet man has the same three guy friends he has had since college due to him being more of an introvert. I think that the bridal party will look bad is it is not symmetrical but don’t have the heart to tell three of my girlfriends they have been dismissed from my big day. Is it acceptable to have an off balanced wedding? What do I do?


A. This is a question that I am shocked I have never gotten before! I too am in a relationship where our differences balance us out beautifully! With that being said I can see where you would be concerned about being a bit over populated on the ladies side of the room. I will suggest three options; there is always the one you fear, asking three girls to step down from their brides maids’ position. Second, you mentioned that the two of you knew each other since college so I am sure you have mutual friends. What if two bridesmaids switched teams and became a “Grooms Maid” if they have known the two of you for that long. And thirdly, you can ask his Father and Brother (or your Brother) to stand with him and his friends on his side of the room. This will help to balance everything out a bit more. Being a Libra myself I understand wanting everything to be balanced! No such thing as being to popular, Congrats!


Q.


I have a question I hope you will be able to help me with. I have lived in the same small town all of my life. I


love it here. I have always wanted to get married and raise a family in this town the way that I was raised as a little girl. I have my dream house that I have always said I would one day live in and have always had the church planned that I would get married in. Well, I met the most amazing guy and he loves small town life too! He too likes my dream house and we know that we will raise our family their one day! But the

church is the problem… He wants an outdoor wedding. I was raised and nurtured in that church. I love it! I don’t want to get married to this terrific guy anywhere else. I hope you can shed some light on the situation for me. Thank you, Nature vs. Nurture


A. OH great question! I too was raised in a small town and understand the emotional attachment you get to the people and places. Though I am happily living in Metropolitan


Atlanta I still go back from time to time and remember all of the days growing up in Mayberry RFD (more like Milledgeville GA). Have you considered an afternoon wedding in the spring? Have it in the Church of your dreams just the way you pictured it. Then have the reception outside at sunset. This will give such a picturesque backdrop and ending to your special day. That way you both get what you want… just the beginning of many marital compromises. I can just see it! Wishing you the best on your big day,
