Is it weird to not have any bridesmaids?
Robin, on December 10, 2022 at 12:50 AM

I have a lot of close friends and my bridal party would be too big if I chose everybody, so I just decided not to have any bridesmaids. Is anybody else doing this or is this abnormal?

Would you care if mother in law wore this?
Liz, on July 1, 2022 at 7:50 AM
