Hi all! I'm a little nervous because FH's family (not immediate family, but extended with whom he's close) are very religious. I'm an atheist, and I come from a non-religious family. Somehow, I've...

Ok, so I'm Catholic - was raised that way and only recently stopped going to church. I've always pictured my wedding in a church. My fiance's family is Jehovah's Witnesses (he's not). When we started...

I just got married this past July. We had a rehearsal dinner, pretty big wedding with band, & a luncheon for the family the day after. None of my family lives near us & my awesome mom...

I didn't find anything against forum rules, but this was the only place I could find to get advice! A good friend of mine invited me to her wedding which is happening in a few short months. I will be...
ANY ADVICE APPRECIATED!! My brothers finance who I am very close with asked me to be her MOH. Of course I’m thrilled. But I’m also 18. Still in high school. I understand all the responsibilities being...

Ugh. I hesitated on posting this but I seriously dont know what to do. My entire family HATES my moms husband. He has literally caused so much pain, stress, and nonsense. I genuinely do not want to...

My husband’s good friend/business partner got engaged a year ago and his fiancée asked me to be a bridesmaid. I said yes because I knew my husband was going to be a groomsman. The fiancée (bride) and...

I want to avoid have to purchase extra invitations so I thought maybe adding an early rsvp on our save the dates would help with that. The thing with that is, we want to avoid parents rsvping their...
