Me and my fiancé are paying for the majority of our wedding. My parents are paying for a dj but other than that everything else is on our shoulders. My biggest problem I'm having is that with anything...
I'm no longer really excited for my wedding. In the past couple of weeks there has been so much family drama, it's a very long story, but basically my fiancé's brother (who he is not close to) is all...
Hey everyone l. I want to start by apologizing just in case my English is bad lol. Anyhow my fiancé proposed to me a few weeks ago we have been dating for a year and he alway spoke about getting...
My dad passed away when I was in college, years before I met my FH. I'm planning to ask my mom to bring my dad's ashes to the wedding, and my mom and I will be dancing together along with my FH and...
I recently just got engaged. And of course I’m super excited about it! I know that no one will be as excited about my wedding as I am, but I’ve felt a huge let down. My mom doesn’t seem excited about...
Do you think people would automatically think because my fiancé has sisters that they would automatically be my bridesmaids? He has 2 full sisters and 1 step sister, one is like me personality wise...
So I’ll warn you in advance that this is waaaay TMI, but I just had to get some other perspectives here...How do you deal with farting around your SO, particularly if you have the “honor” of being the...

I’m getting married in less than two days and it’s been stressful but I know that it all leads to a wonderful moment. After our rehearsal, my cousin posted something on her social media that seemed...
Hey Guys! It's been really hard to admit this, but I honestly don't think I'll be accompanied by a bridal party/groomsmen. The women I have in mind have all let me down one way or another, or have...
Hello everyone. So this is a bit lengthy, bear with me. My father was injured at work 3 years ago, which resulted in emergency spinal surgery. Since then he has difficulty sitting for too long,...
I normally wouldn't post about this, but it's under weird circumstances that I can't seem to find online. Heartbreakingly, my dad said he will not be attending my wedding. (Set for December.) He...

So my dad has been dating a woman since I was in kindergarten, and they recently got married. I'm not that warm and fuzzy about her but I realize shes my stepmom and a part of my family, so I'm trying...
Hi Brides This is totally not wedding related, I just need to rant. I think I’m going to distance myself from my best friend and I want some unbiased opinions on whether I’m doing the right thing, or...
Okay so I from beginning did not want my brother's girlfriend at my wedding. I lived with them in a house for 2 years and we all ended up hating each other. She is so uncomfortable to be around and we...
