So let me preface this by saying.... 6 of my 7 bridesmaids are incredible and have been so helpful throughout my wedding process. But as with big groups, there is one person who has not helped out at...

My fiance and I created our guest list, and to be honest, my family that I am inviting on my mother's side, I don't speak to. I have no issue excluding a lot of family on my father's side simply...

I am very thankful for my parents paying for the wedding. From what I've gathered, (with just the reception) my mom is paying 2/3 and is requesting the groom's parents to pay 1/3. Groom and I are...
