Post-wedding anxiety and my family is so mad at me
Kara in Family and Relationships, on June 16, 2023 at 12:40 PM

My wedding happened recently. It went really, really badly. The ceremony was beautiful but it all went wrong from there. My dress was absolutely destroyed in the mud, it poured on me and my fiancé...

Good friend isn’t coming
Kara in Family and Relationships, on May 9, 2023 at 10:01 PM

One of my best friends from college got married last August. I went to her bachelorette party and her wedding (we live in different states) - my fiancé and I spent about $5,000 total. We gave a...

Kara in Planning, on April 8, 2022 at 10:24 PM

I’m looking over my contract for my wedding planner and found that she said she charges $2,000 to NOT post any photos from our wedding OR to get prior approval. I don’t really care but am...

What should we send for a gift to a wedding that only one of us was invited to?
Kara in Etiquette and Advice, on March 3, 2021 at 9:02 PM

We are getting married in a year and have not yet sent invitations. One of my husband’s former colleagues (who he used to be best-ish friends with) lives on the other side of the country. He is...

My friend from college and I are in a group of 4 girls total. Basically all 4 of us are planning our weddings at the same time, but she is getting married first due to living in Texas/less COVID...

Struggling with family as to place of reception?
Kara in Family and Relationships, on January 25, 2021 at 7:54 PM

We are planning our wedding for fall 2022. My parents offered to host it at their home (they live on a farm near us with many acres and it’s absolutely gorgeous) and me and DH both get along very well...

Not invited as a guest to their wedding while I’m planning mine?
Kara in Etiquette and Advice, on December 28, 2020 at 1:59 PM

So this is kind of an odd situation. We are planning our wedding loosely for fall 2021, so quite a bit away due to COVID. My fiancé’s friend from college (more distant friend as time goes on) is...

Should i have my sil in my bridal party?
Kara in Family and Relationships, on August 23, 2020 at 12:44 PM

I’m getting married officially (we’re already married from a cruise but don’t really act as though we’re married and not many people know so this is our legit wedding) in a year and a half. My fiancé...

The decision of whether or not to invite family friends: causing huge issues!
Kara in Etiquette and Advice, on January 27, 2020 at 11:05 AM

I've posted about parts of this situation before, but it's really spiraling out of control and I'd appreciate any feedback at all! My fiance's family grew up being best friends with another family. I...

Not inviting family friends causing issues
Kara in Family and Relationships, on January 24, 2020 at 2:15 PM

We have chosen not to invite a family FH was close with growing up: while the parents haven’t done anything, I’ve only met the mother once in 4 years and we generally don’t talk to them anymore. The...

First Cousin Plus One
Kara in Etiquette and Advice, on April 24, 2019 at 7:37 PM

Wondering if you guys could give me some insight on this plus one situation. We're having a pretty large wedding (250 people) and are really tight on the numbers (we're about to be over already). We...

Plus One Conundrum
Kara in Etiquette and Advice, on February 25, 2019 at 7:07 PM

I'm getting married to a wonderful man in a little under a year. My fiance's friend got married a little under 2 years ago after we had been together for almost two years. I had met the couple and...
