Need Brides For Advice

I need your help! I am writing for an article and would love your take on these subjects! If your answers are published you will get credit! The first set of questions I have are about etiquette: Do you feel that your guests should have to give you a gift for attending your wedding? Do you feel that you have to buy gifts for your bridal party? If you were standing up in a wedding and did not receive a gift would this offend you? How do you feel about registering? What do you do when someone buys you something you asked for but it was not the same brand? Would that bother you? How do you decide who stands up at you're wedding? If you are already married do you have any regrets about anyone who did stand up? How did they disappoint you? Did you ever confront them? What is the most important part of the wedding for you? Last question...This may be chosen for a talk show. Did you plan your wedding before getting engaged and it did not work out? Did you buy the dress without even being engaged yet? If you are married did you do this because you felt your clock was ticking? Do you have any regrets about who you married and why? Did you look at planners and book one even before you discussed marriage with your boy friend? How did you know he was the "one"? I appreciate your help! If you have any interesting stories regarding planning and how you got engaged I would love to use your story. It can be anonymous.
