My siblings and I were always screwed out of bringing dates to family weddings...funny, now that my sibling is getting married all the now divorced single cousins are assuming they're a +1. Um...no....karma baby!

I want a simple wedding. him and i on a beach and our close family. that's it. nothing fancy

Ok, we get it - you had a courthouse wedding. Let me have my party and celebrate with my family and friends and stop commenting on the way that I'm doing this.

I can't do it. I can't ask my cousin (we were raised as sisters) to be my MOH. I know it'll upset more people in my family than it will actually upset her. I just don't want to deal with her/her idiot bf. I have friends which I am way closer too, who respect me. Am I being bridezilla or is this "normal"?

I just got engaged and I haven't told my family yet. I'm waiting because I am trying to find a way to break it to my cousin (we were raised as sisters) that I don't want her to be my MOH. She has always said since we were younger that I would be hers. We have grown apart and weren't very close after we started highschool about 15 years ago. Am I being selfish? Do I have her be a bridesmaid even though, I have closer friends I'd rather?

I'm the mother of the bride. I am ECSTATIC for her wedding, her fiance is a wonderful man, and we are so pleased to welcome him into our family. My confession? I'm only 50 and I am working my ass off to be as thin as my daughter at her wedding. And, I'm not wearing one of those dowdy "mother of the bride SUITS", either. Hee.

My friend is getting married. I love her and am so happy for her that she found her person. I am so dissapointed that she didn't ask me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. I know it's stupid, but I asked her, and had really hoped she would ask me too. I love her and will support her and be thrilled for her either way. She chose family member (which makes sense) and two girls from college.. I am the person she goes to for advice.. blah.. stupid and petty.. I know I know.. I just feel bad..

I'm so tired of my family trying to one-up each other's weddings. I hate all the so-called "wedding etiquette" because it is so SUBJECTIVE. When I get married it will be cheap, pretty, and laid-back. I can't wait to see my family's disgusted faces during my "average" wedding.

I wonder if it'd be a major faux pas to ask for money towards a deposit on a house. We have all the household stuff we need, we don't need anything upgraded, and we're not sure we want a honeymoon, let alone an extravagant one. But our friends and family have been asking about what we want since we first became engaged.

I think I have one of THE worst wedding stories ever; a male friend of the family got married years ago and guess who went with them on their honeymoon? Yep, his new MIL!!!! Suffice it to say, their marriage didn´t last. He has since remarried.
