    So far it's been low on the drama. My FH's daughter did cause some early after we got engaged. She was supposed to be a bridesmaid but wigged out because i'm not her mom. She doesn't get along with her mom, they've been divorced almost 13 years, and she's 32 years old and should be a grown up

    I haven't really had drama, thankfully. Just people putting in their negative opinions behind our backs. They don't know that we know about it because it was repeated to us through someone else but we just decided to be the bigger people and let it go. At the end of the day the only opinions that matter are ours and the Lord above. It is our day and we will do it when we want to and how we want to. And it was family members.

    I just posted about my mother's drama.

    I've also posted about FSIL and the groomspeople.

    Expected my mother's, had popcorn ready.

    Didn't expect FSIL, but really not surprised. Just frustrated that FH is so tolerant of it.

    First my oldest brother has caused a ton of drama and turned the focus to himself. He told me it wasn't right, me getting married first ,since he was older. He went and eloped. Lol My mom comes in second, she's been so bitter at him that she's trying to use my wedding to poke at him. I had to get firm and tell her I didnt want my Bridal shower to be the day after his reception. Which we're still not sure if that's happening. Thirdly friends, one took herself out of the Bridal party, because her current bf, who has been arrested by several of my FH groomsman, wasn't invited. She's been pretty jealous and keeps making a deal out of my wedding because it's at a venue, and the regular wedding price, vs. a courthouse deal. She even picks at my engagement ring and its size (FH did too good, never in my life expected it) My first MOH, who is still in the bridal party, but as a bridesmaid, she started overthinking her role, and became non-existent. Thankfully we talked it out, but lordt that was hard. Otherwise its been calm Haha. People really come out in weddings

    A lot of the drama is coming from my FH’s mom because she wants us to go really cheap for our wedding and makes a fuss about everything we do. I don’t really talk wedding stuff to her because of it.

    No drama so far. FH refuses to let his family help with the planning for this reason.

    So far nobody yet there was a little beef when I was trying to tell my dad I didn’t want to invite my extended family on his side and that didn’t sit well with him. When you have a big Hawaiian family everyone is invited 🙄

    Between my grandmother and one bridesmaid, it's a toss up. The grandmother is overly critical about everything and my bridesmaid probably doesn't even remember the date for my bridal shower.

    Not really drama, but my mother is adamant about having certain things at the wedding that I could care less for.

    I've had drama in my wedding party- my original MOH dropped out of my wedding because "I made her life events about me." (I considered her my BFF, but she didn't consider me that to the point that she got married and didn't tell me, even though I was sitting on her couch the month before . Apparently expressing my hurt for not being told while saying that I was really happy for her was making things about me. But w/e.) And I had another BM cause a ton of stress and drama for me to the point that I kicked her out of my wedding. She was acting like she didn't care about what I wanted (dress colors) and simply blew me off when I brought up wedding stuff. There was more to that failed relationship, but not wedding related stuff.

    So far everyone, friends and family, are being super helpful...except for 1 family member on my Fiance's side. I'm dreading her coming to the wedding because no matter what the occasion or topic, she has to say how hers was better. For example, when celebrating my soon to be in-laws 50th wedding anniversary, everyone was commenting on how beautiful their cake was. This person then said, "Well if you think theirs was good, MY birthday cake was AMAZING." At my sister in-laws wedding reception, this person began talking loudly about how her wedding was better. I can't exclude her from the wedding, she's my Fiance's sister in law. However, my sister and bridesmaids have been warned about her. They are very outspoken individuals and won't hesitate to put her in her place if needed.

    There really hasn't been any drama. But of the potential drama that could be started, I would say family. I'm not worried about any of my friends.

    My family!!! Specifically my mother as she is incredibly racist and does not support my relationship or my engagement at all. She made a lot of comments during our engagement dinner and caused a huge argument that almost turned physical with FH mother and aunt.
