I dont even know where to begin this is going to be long. Throughout my wedding planning process Ive been so happy to see the outpouring of love and support from all of my/our friends and my fiancees...
I'm going to be gettig married - round two! I'm super excited, but I wonder... Is it weird to honor my late first husband by not wearing white? And if I do, should I do champagne or something all out...
I went dress shopping with my mom this weekend and found my dress! I didn't invite anyone else. I wanted the quality time with Mom and my sister's fashion opinions are so strong I was afraid I would...
I see my 2nd cousins once a year & don't talk to them all year. They're all in their 20's & my 1 first cousin has 5 kids! We want to do a plus 1 for everyone, but for that family, that's 12...
My youngest sister is too young to be a bridesmaid but too old to be a flower girl. I thought about having her carry my train as a junior bridesmaid or bridal attendant. My bridesmaids are paying for...
So long story short my dad is a narcissist and hates my whole family (mostly his parents and anyone who associates with them). He hasn’t talked to them in almost 4 years so when I told him I was...
Hi ladies and gents, My heart is heavy and I am scared to move forward with marriage. My future mother-in-law has been acting very different (controlling, demanding, and rude) the past month. She's...
So I bought these cute white metal pails personalized with the names of our Junior groomsmen who are ages 10 and 7. What are some ideas of things to put in them? Besides candy. THANKS
Hi guys. Still new here, but I wanted opinions that weren’t biased and from other women in general. My FH and I don’t sleep together every night because we are under my parents roof and it’s a matter...
Soooo. My baby sister has her prom the night of my wedding. Shes staying long enough for the ceremony (shes a bridesmaid) then bouncin for prom. Am I right to be upset by this?! My mother originally...
Hey everyone! Im drawing a blank so I thought maybe I could gather some ideas from here! Long story short my mom lives overseas in Europe. She has mostly been unable to help plan the wedding but has...
Hey ladies, I am not having a wedding party. Just a MOH who hasn’t been a great person lately. Since my engagement, she has made a few rude comments about my fiancé’s looks or said things that makes...
Does anyone have any ideas for a non traditional and fun father daughter dance? My dad has told me he just doesn't want to dance to anything super emotional and I agree. He also doesn't approve of me...
I'm such a confusion of emotion. I'm understanding; I'm saddened; I'm angry. One of my longest friends called me last night to tell me that she can't be in the wedding anymore. She just had a baby and...
My sister's boyfriend is about to propose to her soon and I know she won't like some details about it. This will be the proposal: They're going on a staycation in Miami beach, renting a hotel for the...
So, I have already decided on my two bridesmaids. My best friend who I have known since I was 11 is my MOH and my other good friend is my second bridesmaid. FH is having two groomsmen. My mother has...
While planning my wedding party, I was struggling with the decision about if I wanted to ask my childhood best friend to be a bridesmaid. Even though we haven't been super close since we graduated...
My Mom and Dad got divorced a couple years back after 35 years of marriage. My Dad is now re-married and my mom is extremely jealous. She continues to bring up conversations about who will escort her...
I'm honestly not sure if I should be mad, or if this is considered rude, or tacky- but I can't help but to act irrationally. A few days ago my sister posted on Facebook she was looking for an...
Okay so early March 2018 my step brother announced that he would be getting married July 2018! I thought wow that’s fast but okay they have a kid together and have been engaged for a little over a...
