Hey ladies, I am not having a wedding party. Just a MOH who hasn’t been a great person lately. Since my engagement, she has made a few rude comments about my fiancé’s looks or said things that makes...
Does anyone have any ideas for a non traditional and fun father daughter dance? My dad has told me he just doesn't want to dance to anything super emotional and I agree. He also doesn't approve of me...

I'm such a confusion of emotion. I'm understanding; I'm saddened; I'm angry. One of my longest friends called me last night to tell me that she can't be in the wedding anymore. She just had a baby and...

My sister's boyfriend is about to propose to her soon and I know she won't like some details about it. This will be the proposal: They're going on a staycation in Miami beach, renting a hotel for the...
So, I have already decided on my two bridesmaids. My best friend who I have known since I was 11 is my MOH and my other good friend is my second bridesmaid. FH is having two groomsmen. My mother has...

While planning my wedding party, I was struggling with the decision about if I wanted to ask my childhood best friend to be a bridesmaid. Even though we haven't been super close since we graduated...
My Mom and Dad got divorced a couple years back after 35 years of marriage. My Dad is now re-married and my mom is extremely jealous. She continues to bring up conversations about who will escort her...

I'm honestly not sure if I should be mad, or if this is considered rude, or tacky- but I can't help but to act irrationally. A few days ago my sister posted on Facebook she was looking for an...
Okay so early March 2018 my step brother announced that he would be getting married July 2018! I thought wow that’s fast but okay they have a kid together and have been engaged for a little over a...
Hello everyone, I’m looking for advice! My future mother in law is driving me crazy. She wants everything done her way even though me and my fiancé are paying for 90% of the wedding. She recently...

Has anyone read these books with their spouse? I just ordered them because I've seen the advertised on my facebook and other social media. What did you think?
Ever since my fiance and I have gotten engaged, my mother in law has been so pushy about everything to do with the wedding from the venue to the church to what flowers are in my bouquet. She insisted...

Some backstory context for you... my paternal grandparents raised me after my dad passed away when I was a child. To make a long and painful story short, my mother, who is still alive, mentally ill,...

Hi all! So, I found out through my grandmother that one of my cousins didn't receive their invitation to the wedding. I only have one aunt/uncle who has 4 children, all who are married, and all who...
My soon to be sister in law I guess had this assumption that she was automatically going to be a bridesmaid. I haven't put her in my wedding because I simply don't want to. This has become an issue I...

Hey all, I’m in a pretty uncomfortable situation with my in laws and I’m seeking some advice, and also honestly just venting. Warning- this is going to sound like an episode from a soap opera because...

Hi all, I have a cousin who is several years older than me. We were close when we were younger, but now only see each other on holidays as life got busy. We still get along very well and I enjoy her...
