I'm not into social media that much aka I don't need validation from internet friends or the need to show off pictures. In fact, husband and I didn't announce or engagement nor did we post any wedding...

Most women have to deal with their MIL. I'm lucky I don't have that but I do have that in a future SIL. FH is 2 years younger than I am and his older sister is 1 year older than him. I'm older than...

We had an unplugged ceremony but of course, some people still took pictures and posted it on facebook. People who were NOT in the wedding party stayed after the ceremony (at church) and took pictures...

DH and I come from a family oriented culture. I actually knew of his family years before we started dating. Anyhoo, he has 1 older sister and 1 young brother. Older sister’s husband only made an...

Just noticed that my husband’s cousin’s daughter dressed up in a pink dress wearing a flower wreath headband for our wedding. She was not a flower girl, there were rumors swirling around (before our...

With everything happening in the world, our honeymoon and trips for this year were canceled. Sucks but that’s okay. As long we’re healthy and safe. Funny bc we had it all planned out, honeymoon, plan...

I'm looking into buying a bundle on etsy that has these signs: Smaller-medium sized: - unplugged ceremony (church ceremony) - save our hashtag (reception) - drinks/bar (reception) - cards/gift sign...

Trust me - I understand that my wedding is not the most important thing in the world. I never expected people to drop what they were doing to attend. I get that everyone has their lives and there's no...

My parents raised us to be polite, respectful and to have manners. Even if we weren’t millionaires, our attitudes speak volumes. I’ve written on here before that we’re currently living with the in...

We’ll be going to a wedding today and not sure how much to give. With family, we give $100-250 (depending on who). This wedding is for my husband’s friend from college. Here’s a weird history...

Before covid, husband and I had it planned. Stay at in laws property to save for the house (big with our space and rent was cheaper; we live in a tech city), I would finally get hired post masters...

Getting married and having a wedding was the beginning of everything. Then it becomes a domino effect of the house, baby, new job, newer house, more babies, vacation, etc... your life, pretty much. I...

Husband and I are excited however, he’s telling me that we absolutely have to share it with his family: his parents, brother, sister and his brother in law (and they’re the freeloading, cheapskate...

My sister and I are almost 4 years apart. We've always had more of a brother relationship. I'm older and have learned (the hard way) that she isn't my little sister anymore and that she's just as...

Ladies- please fill me in. Educate me or tell me I’m off my rockers. Brief history: my husband’s sister and I never got along. Now that we’re married, she knows how to be civil (sad it how it takes a...

I had a job while I was dating my husband for years. I decided to go back to school. He wanted to get married. I got accepted and got a WONDERFUL opportunity to get my masters degree. It would take 18...

I was with my husband for 6 years before he proposed and I learned the hard way of how certain clique families work. He comes from a big family where all his cousins, aunts, uncles all live in the...

I had a Catholic mass, a beautiful cocktail hour on the water and our venue was brand new with a beautiful view. We had our photographer take about 2,000 pictures, so you can imagine how challenging...

First off- DH and I never expect anything from anyone. We are very generous people, especially with our families. Here’s the situation: we’ve been renting space from my in laws and saving for a house....

Let’s say that if there’s new information I’ve found out or news, HE is the one that will tell everyone about it. For example: me: “oh honey, did you know that ‘onward’ will be streaming on Disney...
