Sydney, on June 16, 2021 at 6:47 PM

The wedding is in August, and all the deposits are paid, and save the dates and invitations have already been sent out so postponing isn't an option. My only sister, who is also my maid of honor, is...

My friend skipped my wedding and never told me she wouldn’t make it.
Reana , on June 10, 2021 at 2:07 AM

Just venting...I’ve been friends with this woman for 10 years. When I first met my husband she’d always ask when the wedding would be. About every six months for four years she’d ask if we had set a...

Did you go into your relationship knowing you didn’t want any kids? When’s too early to have the conversation about having them? Was that a deal breaker?
