Does anyone else have anyone in their family that never has anything nice to say? In my example it's my sister lol. She is one my my bridesmaids (my mom and grandmom pressured me into asking her to be...
Hello everyone. I just got married (8/16/19) and my now sister-in-law is having her baby shower the weekend after. I was going through our gifts and cards to look for an idea on how much she gave us...
What are your wedding planning regrets, if any? For me, it was impulsively asking bridesmaids, when I should have taken the time to carefully choose. I chose FH's brother's (at the time) fiance to be...
I'm sure this has been discussed on here to some extent, but figured I'd give it a shot. Same old story as so many of you: Fiance and I are attempting to have a small wedding. We only wanted around 50...
So my girls just found their dresses yesterday and you would think it would have been a happy day. Nope. My mom called me seconds before we walked into the store crying and yelling at me that she...
Long post: please skip if you wish, stay and read if you wish. Hi everybody. I haven't been here in a while. I guess I'm just seeking some support. On May 31st, my mom took my dad into the ER with a...
Hi there, I guess I'm wanting some kind of support, or something... I'm not even sure anymore. I got engaged last year in August, it was one of the most exciting times in my life (as you can probably...
I have recently come to feel that my best friends do not really care about me getting married. We got engaged September 2018 and I was very excited to announce to my friends that I got proposed to and...
Ok so sort of a long story but my sister has been engaged to a guy off and on for the past 4 years. They never had a wedding date until my fiance and I announced our engagement then 6 months later she...
My husband and I have openly admitted to one another that neither one of us feel like we are married. We can't seem to agree on anything, we can't seem to compromise, the communication and trust in...
Been lurking here a while now, but as my wedding is going to happen, I was wondering who the bridesmaids of you ladies actually are. Are they mostly family, or friends? High school or college or work...
My best friend/ MOH (my younger sister is my actual MOH, however this friend is doing the major stuff and still giving a speech) got engaged five months after me, and is planning to wedding jump me. I...
So today I expressed my feeling to my mom thru text how I’m sick of hearing about her not wanting to be a grandma. She tells my sister she had children so she doesn’t need to deal with it again. She...
We want to know the details of your first date!! Where did you go?? What did you do? What was your favorite thing about him/her on that first date? Next Question: Who said 'I love you' first? ...
I'm not the same person I was when I was in my 20's. I'm in my early 30's and I've had to let go of a lot of "friendships" that were not good for me. I was such a doormat. I saw the world with 100%...
We are almost a month away from the big day! And we are so SO excited! We are almost done buying small things that are needed, and we've paid for almost everything ourselves..but since the day we...
Ok so I’m the bride. Unfortunately my mother passed away years ago. I was thinking of asking a close aunt (moms sister) to be my say “stand in” but I’m having a tough time on finding an alternative...
This is mostly a venting post I guess, but I just need some (hopefully) kind words that can help me accept and move past this,... Anyway, I’m pretty upset at the moment. My fiancé proposed to me in...
From the day my fiance and I got engaged, it has been nothing but tears and heartache for me, and it's all been due to my passive-aggressive family... For example, the day my fiance proposed, I called...
I am having trouble deciding whether I should keep my Maid of Honor in the wedding. A little back story. Our Maid of Honor & Best Man have been dating for 5 years (seriously). About a month ago we...
