I was disappointed when I received a the "no" RSVP from a very close friend but gave her the benefit of the doubt. The conflict had to be something important, right? She also declined my bachelorette...

Maid of Honor?
Airica, on July 3, 2023 at 2:11 AM

How is you guys relationships with your maid of honors? Do they get on your nerves sometimes?? Are they extra helpful or do they trying to dictate things and tell you what to do?

Feeling some type of way
Laura, on June 27, 2023 at 9:11 PM

Do i part ways with my bridesmaid over politics?
Shirley, on November 5, 2020 at 2:56 PM

2020 just keeps getting better and better. During this wonderful contested election, I posted online that I had voted and who I voted for (which I now regret) but not why I voted the way I did. I got...

No gifts from in-laws side
Gina, on June 20, 2023 at 2:32 PM

Going to start this out by saying that I understand that wedding gifts are appreciated, not expected and help from family is appreciated, but not expected. But this is a pretty odd coincidence. To set...

Picking my battles - mom is posting our "getting ready" photos...
The Sealpups, on September 20, 2019 at 8:28 PM

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...

No Family Or Friends
M M, on June 12, 2023 at 2:19 AM

So my family doesn't really approve of my relationship. We've been together 11 years and have 4 kids together. We have had the good, bad, and ugly for sure. We have pretty much no friends. No family...

Carla, on June 10, 2023 at 9:25 PM

Long story short, GM and BM dated and broke up and got into a huge argument when they ended things. My FH is managing the GM and I’m working with the BM. Our wedding is one month away and the bach...

She just threatened to wear this to my wedding over text. I assume she already bought it or something like it. She did this to my sister. She wore an identical dress and a veil to my sister's wedding....
