My MOH and I have been friends for 6 or 7 years we met through our exes. We have very different personalities and occasionally butt heads. When I got engaged she was living out of state and seemed...
So this is my third marriage. I’ve finally got the right man and am having my dream wedding. My fiancé and I are both domestic violence survivors and both started our lives over so our guest list is...
Hi all, I have a lot of question marks with my father in law but I'd like some third party opinions on this. Maybe I could very well be so calculative but I feel that my Father in Law(FIL) is not as...
I remember reading that weddings aren't supposed to be family reunions, but that is precisely why I want all of my extended family there because there are many of them I haven't seen in a while since...
I chose one of my bridesmaids to be a friend from Highschool. Since moving back close to her, it has been a hard time. She has complained about being in the wedding and has a negative attitude on...

This evening I will be seeing a big group of friends from college (for reference I am 26). A chunk of them are invited to the wedding (they know bc they were invited to the Bach but I haven’t sent...
My brother died when I was 15. He was only 18 years old (I’m 26 now) but I knew I wanted to include him in my wedding picture some how… I just got this sneak peek back and I’m so happy to have this...
I was adopted at birth month including my birth mother in my wedding somehow. Whether that be in the ceremony or at the reception. My Adoptive Mother has said she would be OK with my Birth Mom taking...
Has anyone had any problems out of their bridesmaids not participating or just being plan rude? I asked a few of my co workers to be in my wedding because we are all Friends and I love them. I’ve had...
My husband wants us to go to a Superbowl party which is not the problem. The problem is that the party is hosted by his ex-girlfriend's family. They came to our wedding reception (not the ex but her...
My brother is getting married this fall, and when his fiancee asked me to be a bridesmaid I was flattered. I definitely did not expect or assume that I would be included. However, my brother did *not*...
I’m not for sure if I’m the only one with this issue, but how did anyone of you deal with friends being upset and or even being mad for not being a bridesmaid in your wedding?
I don't know about you, but I hate this advice because as a disabled adult it is more complicated than people realize, especially when your mother is your legal conservator and has that role of...
Need opinions. My future in laws booked the whole rehearsal dinner without mentioning it to me or my fiancé. I already had a place in mind, and I also wanted to have just my wedding party. They booked...
