Should i make an exception for my Godmother
JessIca, on October 19, 2021 at 6:34 PM

Hi. I would like opinions about if and how to invite my Godmother to my Small wedding. I have a big family and I really broke tradition to have a small non 200+ person wedding. It is not so much...

Can’t match my fiancé’s groomsmen…
Tiffany, on October 18, 2024 at 5:47 PM

I literally have no friends or close family. I am unable to even come up with one name for a bridesmaid. My fiancé on the other hand is such an extrovert and has a handful of childhood friends that he...

Counseling?
Amy, on May 1, 2022 at 7:01 PM

Is it good to have marriage counseling. My fiance says he doesn't need it but I think it wouldn't hurt so any ideas?

I recently just got engaged, and my mother and I do not have a good relationship. She openly favors my brothers and has consistently pushed me down in anyway that she can just because. I have thought...

Cancelled
Latricia, on October 16, 2024 at 9:22 PM

Is my name change idea weird?
Elizabeth, on October 13, 2024 at 1:07 PM

Long story, but my maiden name is neither my mom or dad’s last name, rather, my mom’s ex husband’s name from before she met and married my dad. I’ve never liked this because, while I love them, I...

Hello, so I’m getting married this Saturday and my fiancé and I both decided to opt not to invite my one older sister. My relationship with her has been strained and rocky at best and horrendous at...

My mother isn't happy for me
Leaira, on September 25, 2024 at 10:06 PM

My mom and I have never been close but I feel like this is ridiculous. In May my SO and I told my mother we'd be getting married. Upon being told this, she did not answer, instead she carried on...

No bridesmaids, or groomsmen, just maid of honor and best man?

Hi everyone! Finding a group of bridesmaids and groomsmen has been the most stressful part of wedding planning at the moment. My FH has many many possible groomsmen but the only person I know I want...

Grooms family is not putting in any effort or care in the wedding...what do i do?
Shawnda , on August 15, 2018 at 5:26 PM

Not sure how to handle this, if I even need to, and if I should even care. My fiancé and I are in one of those situations where we are paying for most of our wedding on our own. Which is fine to me-...
