So I’m not sure what to do, I don’t have a bridal party so I don’t have a group of people to get ready with me (which I’m ok with). I’m planning on my mom being there with me but that was it. My FH...

Trying to decide between my grandpa giving me away or my father. My grandpa has been there for me my whole life, but choosing him over my dad will kill what little relationship me and my dad have. Who...

My grandfather is one of my favorite people. I'm closer to him than my own father. He has dementia and various other health issues. In December of 2018 they said it had 6 months to a year. I'm so...

What is everyone getting your mother of the bride as a wedding gift?

My FH told his parents, siblings about us but has not shared with his best friend, any friends or co workers. Isn't that odd. He says it hasn't come up...

Around January one of my bridesmaids posted a picture of her save the dates she was sending (she had gotten engaged after I had postponed my wedding the first time). She said she was keeping it small...

My fiance and I have kind of decided on changing our last name to be something completely new when we tie the knot. My last name is pretty bland and his last name has connections to it that he would...

Hi everyone. My wedding is just over 30 days away on April 10. My fiancé and I have been together for 9 years and got engaged right before the pandemic started so needless to say it’s been a very hard...

I feel like I'm the only person who does not live with my fiancé. I'm getting annoyed because his parents who claim to be Christian, are even pressuring me to move in with him before the wedding. Why...

Ok GRAND RISINGS BRIDES TO BE!!! how is everyone? Story/vent time: i am feeling a bit crazy,angry,mad,and SAD all at the same time. Everyone is showing lots of excitement for my wedding and offering...

At a loss and need some advice. My MOH has been one of my best friends for 13 yrs and we have never had an argument. Recently she got upset with me because of my reaction to a situation she has going...

I am so torn. I have been in two minds about my parent's attendance at my wedding for a year and a half now, and if it hadn't been for covid I would already be married and they wouldn't have been...

My wedding is 4 days away. My FH’s father recently had surgery. He stayed over at his parents house to help because his mom couldn’t totally take care of him alone. He spent a few nights there. Friday...
