My husband and I got legally married last year, but this summer (June 25) was meant to be our wedding, the ceremony and party etc. I really need some help and perspective. My sister lived with my...
This is just a rant because I’m so tired of have to closely work with immature passive-aggressive people. It’s like highschool all over again and I absolutely hated highschool! My workplace has mostly...
Me and my fiancé argue a lot because when he gets upset about something he also drags me into his problem. Example … if he gets upset about someone at work he will rant about what that person did and...
At my bachelorette party, one of my bridesmaid was apparently upset about how we were getting back and forth to a local bar. She did not come to anyone about this but rather pouted in her room until I...
Y'all, I am at my wits' end here and I desperately need outside perspective. I know this is long and I apologize but this is complicated. My mom (who I am SUPER close with) has these two sisters, O...
I really only want to invite my family to our wedding. As much as I’d love to invite everyone I know and love, we’re on a budget. Also I’m kind of a more family oriented person anyway. Has anyone else...

Adam and I got engaged in March and are still kind of going back and forth with whether or not we want to invite his family. Only one of his sisters know that he's even engaged. His family, except for...
Hey ladies! This site was my favorite thing ever when I was planning my wedding a few years ago but I haven't been here in ages lol. Figured I'd pop back on because I have a question about someone...

Hello everyone. I'm creating this post as both a way to vent, but also to ask for any advice or thoughts on my current situation. My father was not at my wedding this past January. Almost a decade...
