This is a long story but I need advice... I orginally asked my future SIL to be a bridesmaid when we first got engaged (Oct '16) because I considered her a friend and her and my fiance are VERY close...
Just needed to vent about family issues. My dad and I barely have a relationship at all. We talk maybe once a year and I see him once every few years. He lives with his sister. I sent out my...

So things haven’t been working out with my aunt, who is my coordinator. it seems like after it getting more closer to the date we’ve argued more about religion, she tells me I will regret my decision...
My family was initially very supportive of my engagement. In the past few months, for reasons I would rather not go into, my immediate family has revoked their support. My parents told me that they...
I need some advice. Should I invite my brothers ex to my wedding. Background: My brother and I are very close (or we use to be, he can be distant when in a relationship ). He dated a girl for four...

Ok a little background. I'm having two weddings, I've already had the first which was a traditional wedding due to my husband's ethnicity. I was very apprehensive about this wedding taking away from...

I'm going to be gettig married - round two! I'm super excited, but I wonder... Is it weird to honor my late first husband by not wearing white? And if I do, should I do champagne or something all out...
I went dress shopping with my mom this weekend and found my dress! I didn't invite anyone else. I wanted the quality time with Mom and my sister's fashion opinions are so strong I was afraid I would...

Why do weddings seem to bring out the worst in family? I don’t get it. It’s supposed to be a happy time to celebrate 2 people falling in love. My sister and fsil battled it out over $100 for...
I see my 2nd cousins once a year & don't talk to them all year. They're all in their 20's & my 1 first cousin has 5 kids! We want to do a plus 1 for everyone, but for that family, that's 12...
My youngest sister is too young to be a bridesmaid but too old to be a flower girl. I thought about having her carry my train as a junior bridesmaid or bridal attendant. My bridesmaids are paying for...
So long story short my dad is a narcissist and hates my whole family (mostly his parents and anyone who associates with them). He hasn’t talked to them in almost 4 years so when I told him I was...

Hi ladies and gents, My heart is heavy and I am scared to move forward with marriage. My future mother-in-law has been acting very different (controlling, demanding, and rude) the past month. She's...
So I bought these cute white metal pails personalized with the names of our Junior groomsmen who are ages 10 and 7. What are some ideas of things to put in them? Besides candy. THANKS
Hi guys. Still new here, but I wanted opinions that weren’t biased and from other women in general. My FH and I don’t sleep together every night because we are under my parents roof and it’s a matter...
