Answer 1

Hey im gonna disagree with the above answer of not getting married if your parents are absent......I say it's your wedding, your parents have had thier day; would thier family have stopped  them from marrying each other, i doubt it! So go ahead enjoy yourselves we only live once & it's not so often that we find the person we want to spend our lives with is it?

To make a memorable day you could perhaps create your own wedding story/photo album with photo's of the wedding from beginning to end, from gettin ready to falling on the dancefloor drunk! lol! and write some witty remarks in it.

or you could write your own vows, or create a guestbook where all guests have to write thier own greetings to you.  Or perhaps you could create a picture of your partner along with a romantic poem created by yourself, it'll be a wonderful, personal, appreciated gift. Or even ask all your guests to all take photos throughout the day and then give you copies of them so you can put them in order to arrange  a photobook of your wedding, in full honest belief in the pictures, supplied with witty remarks.  Hope this helps i cant really think of much else as you only got 2days 2 go!

Answer 2

Your wife could go to a store and get a nice little sundress for $20 or so. They have some great ones really inexpensive at places like Macy's, Sears, JCPenny, etc. She could also go to Wal-Mart, K-Mart, or Target, but I usually find much nicer dresses for the same price at the mall.

Buy a white cake with white icing from the grocery store - either an 8-inch or 12-inch round (most places near me don't sell 10-inches, but those are also nice). This should cost between $8 and $12.

Also get a bouquet of flowers while you're at the grocery store. Pick something small and see if they'll wrap the ends like a bouquet. Or tie some ribbon around it - the stem ends can still be showing (apparently, this is the latest bouquet trend anyway).

You don't have to listen to anyone's c**p about the parents not coming. If you've thought this through and you two want to get married, then that is your decision. Just make sure you're not rushing into things and have actually thought it through.

I, personally, would never invite my mother to my wedding. (But then, she did get into a fight at my grandmother's funeral and almost tipped over the casket.) Whatever your parents' issues are right now, they will regret not coming, and one day will hopefully come around.

Good luck and have a great wedding! Congratulations!

Answer 3

This is the day you are getting married to the woman you love!!!! This is the day that you are going to look deep into her eyes, take her hand, and promise her that you will love and cherish her and be hers to have and to hold for the rest of your lives...trust me...it will be memorable. - you don't need a bunch of people, wedding bells, or fancy flowers to have it be your special day.

Answer 4

OK, I got married and neither set of our parents were there either.  We had a courthouse do, and a giant cheeseburger afterwards.

My suggestion would be:  Go to the grocery store and get a bouquet of flowers.  Buy some ribbon, and tie them together. Cut the stems off even at the bottom, but not too short! Perfect for the bride and not expensive.  

Pick up a bakery cake there, also.  Get your fav.  I don't know where you live, but here an 8" decorated cake can be purchased for about 10.00 - 15.00.

Buy a bottle of champagne and go to the dollar store for a couple of champagne glasses.

Grab a friend (doesn't everyone have digital nowadays?) and have them snap a few photos.

Take your friends out to your favorite restaurant - even if everybody pays their own tab - and best advice of all - ENJOY YOURSELF!

By the way, I've now been married 20 years, so I guess it's gonna work out!

EDIT:  Hey, me and Amemahoney must be related.  Great minds think alike.......

Answer 5

Hire a classical guitarist or some live music to create a beautiful atmosphere...start googling now though as time is running out.

Answer 6

Sounds to me like you might want to think this marriage thing over a bit more.  Almost sounds like the two of you are running away to get married.  Its obvious that your parents aren't supporting you on this.  How long have the two of you been together.  Are you rushing into this marriage for any particular reason?

Answer 7

??  neither parents are attending your wedding?  I don't understand why, do they not like you and the groom?  Or do they not like each other?

If your parents are not supporting your marriage I think that is a major sign to think twice about getting married.

I don't have any advice for you on how to make the day memorable.  I think it's very sad that your parents won't be attending.
