I feel kind of defeated in the MIL department. Any time I ask her opinion on something or ask her to help with something she seems very uninterested. But then I don't ask her something and she gets...
I suffer from pretty severe anxiety and depression. I take medication for both daily, but it’s still a struggle. I’m a quiet, private person with major social anxiety and well…I’m dreading my wedding....
So my FH and I live in Salt Lake City, UT and we live here because we love to recreate and play in the surrounding mountains (ski, hike, mountain bike, camp, etc). The mountains are big part of us,...

Does anyone else have regrets about asking someone too soon to be their MOH or bridesmaid? I just feel like sometimes I regret choosing my MOH. We've been friends since high school and did track and...
My FH and I are discussing having an EXTREMELY small wedding. Like our parents, a photographer and maybe 1 or 2 of our best friends. The problem is with his Dad's girlfriend. While I really like his...
My 19 year old sister is a bridesmaid in my wedding, but since she's underage, she can't go on the bachelorette trip. Everyone else is 10+ years older than her, including myself, so it's not personal...
(Adding screenshots for reference.) I’ll try to make this short. I need advice on how to handle this. my sister got married July 24, 2021. I didn’t remember her date because it wasn’t a significant...
TW: abuse I don't really know where to turn to ask this so I'm coming here. My dad was abusive but is still in my life for complicated reasons. I don't want him at my wedding, but I don't want to...
Our wedding is less than three weeks away. This will be our second attempt, we had to postpone it the first time because my brother was in a nearly fatal car accident earlier this year, (One month...
My FBIL is soooo cynical, and if I hear him say "weddings aren't worth it, they're a waste of money" one more time, I'm going to throw him off a bridge. I understand his wedding/wedding planning was...
So early this year my fiancé and I decided that instead of having a huge wedding we are going to elope and have a small celebration of marriage a week after. At our original wedding we were doing no...
