I need some advice To put it bluntly, my sister in law is without a doubt the most self centred person I have ever met. When I first met her, there was no denying she was not a warm and cuddly...
Hi! I was supposed to get married back in August 2020 but due to COVID we decided to push to May 2021. I have been in touch with my venue and although COVID cases are declining they still are only at...
As some of you may remember from some of my previous posts, one of my FH’s brothers has a drug addiction. No one on either side of our family has ever had any sort of drug addiction whatsoever so it’s...

I'm getting married in a month and my mom and my sister refuses to go to my wedding because I'm getting married with a white man. I feel so sad! I'm Puerto Rican and he is from Texas. None of my...
And oddly, I'm relieved. Let me explain. In the last year of getting engaged I've been so excited but have found it more of a burden then anything. I've noticed a lot of new behavior in my fiance, one...
My FI and I are getting married in nine days. It is not a destination wedding per se, but most of our guests are traveling. From the very beginning, I have been clear that the rehearsal dinner was not...
My fiance and I told each of his family members one by one after the engagement. Last being his dad. His dad was supposed to be his best man but the next few days after telling everyone his tuned...
