Discussions from Family and Relationships

So we don’t talk to my FMIL if we can avoid it about wedding things, because she’s been super nasty to FH (nothing new) and myself about certain things, not everything. It’s more of guest list, and...

I am looking for some advice. One of the groom's best friends has 2 face tattoos (right under his eyes) and I want to respectfully ask him to cover them up on my wedding day. I am not bashing him or...

My wedding is in early June, and we are keeping it strictly family only to limit the guest list AND limit fighting. When we tried to keep a small guest list that mixed family and friends, both sets of...

Okay so this happened a while ago but just came up in the family group chat so I want to know what everyone thinks. At my cousins wedding, they had a phone bowl for during the ceremony. 20 min before...

I need help. So I dont have a good relationship with my extended family specifically my Aunt. She has done and said things in the past and has been the root of pain and drama to my family. I dont want...

My sister in law told me yesterday she was pregnant through text. Apparently the whole family knew already except me. She went out of her way to have dinner with her dad and step mom, then her mom...

I want to add someone to my bridal party. I am not replacing or removing anyone. However, I want to ADD someone. We have grown closer and I would really like her to be a bridesmaid in the wedding. I...

So I’m not sure what to do, I don’t have a bridal party so I don’t have a group of people to get ready with me (which I’m ok with). I’m planning on my mom being there with me but that was it. My FH...

Trying to decide between my grandpa giving me away or my father. My grandpa has been there for me my whole life, but choosing him over my dad will kill what little relationship me and my dad have. Who...

My grandfather is one of my favorite people. I'm closer to him than my own father. He has dementia and various other health issues. In December of 2018 they said it had 6 months to a year. I'm so...

What is everyone getting your mother of the bride as a wedding gift?

My FH told his parents, siblings about us but has not shared with his best friend, any friends or co workers. Isn't that odd. He says it hasn't come up...

I’ll start off by saying i know my wedding and anything related to my wedding isn’t nearly as important to anyone else as it is to me. but i’m a little peeved. i have a group chat with my side of the...

I just finished reading a post similar to what mine is going to be, yet it is a bit different. Please be patient... I was married in the past to an abusive husband. With 4 children and in the middle...

I am recently engaged and mostly excited for this amazing next step in my life. However, my mom and dad have been pretty unsupportive of my relationship (we are high school sweethearts). The rest of...

How did you ultimately decide between who to put on the guest list? I have family I dont see often, and frankly dont even really talk to unless I do see them, yet somehow feel compelled to invite. how...

Around January one of my bridesmaids posted a picture of her save the dates she was sending (she had gotten engaged after I had postponed my wedding the first time). She said she was keeping it small...

My fiance and I have kind of decided on changing our last name to be something completely new when we tie the knot. My last name is pretty bland and his last name has connections to it that he would...

Hi everyone. My wedding is just over 30 days away on April 10. My fiancé and I have been together for 9 years and got engaged right before the pandemic started so needless to say it’s been a very hard...

I feel like I'm the only person who does not live with my fiancé. I'm getting annoyed because his parents who claim to be Christian, are even pressuring me to move in with him before the wedding. Why...
