Etiquette dilemma: My parents were planning on holding a family reunion in the fall for the side of my mother's family that we haven't seen since I was about four years old (they had a falling out, and recently reconnected via Facebook). My mother called me yesterday, and told me that her cousin suggested that we all (my mother, my father, my fiance, and I) come to her daughter's wedding this summer and have the "reunion" there. I don't know about this. Does her daughter know that her mother is inviting a bunch of strangers to her wedding? (Cont. in comments)

oh great my mom just told me she and my dad are renewing their vows this summer...I am happy for them but this just means she will get to be a diva and expect somersaults and rainbows the whole time. I will be 9 mos pg with my 3rd...better start planning what I will do now

BIL is getting married this summer. DH is his best man. DH hasn't talked to his brother since December. Anytime anything comes up, his fiancee texts DH. Umm.. BIL how about you pick up the phone and call yourself. It's your wedding and your brother will not chase you down. He tried being involved even tho we live thousands of miles away, but everytime he asked you a question, you said you would get back to him. Plus, you treated our family like shit, so be lucky your brother still wants to be apart of this wedding.

My future BIL's invite was rescinded last summer because of his horrible treatment of my fiance. Including trying to throw him off a balcony. Now my future FIL wants us to "just forget about it" and tried to bribe us with a new computer if we invite him. Um. No. That's despicable.

We had a quick courthouse wedding and I've always dreamed of finally having a ceremony. this summer we'll be married eight years. Maybe we'll be able to have it for our tenth anniversary

The closer it gets to my wedding, the more I dread a confrontation with FBIL. He tried to throw my fiance over a balcony this summer and he's not invited to the wedding anymore. It feels awkward talking about wedding plans when he's in the room.

My best friend and I (of ten years- since high school) got into a fight over the summer, and haven't bounced back. I KNOW he wants to get engaged soon. My relationship, or lack thereof, with my former bf is going to be a HUGE elephant in the room- at this point, I wouldn't even want to invite her. Let alone have her be in the bridal party... I am just going to end up wanting to elope. For all the wrong reasons. Please don't judge me too harshly here- these are very new emotions for me. But ANY other points of view would be appreciated... just weeding out these feelings...

He just proposed! I am so happy, I can't even handle it :) Can't wait to plan the wedding for next summer!!

We were planning a destination wedding in Cancun for next summer. Then we found out my grandpa has lung cancer and isn't expected to live very long. Now we are getting married at the courthouse in two weeks. I am sad I don't get my dream wedding, but even more about WHY I don't. My grandpa is the sweetest man.

I used to work at a hotel that generally had a couple weddings on Saturdays in the summer. The young (and I mean barely 21 year olds) were always nicer to our staff. A lot of brides were nice, but the older brides were more demanding/unpleasant. No matter your age, we want your day to be amazing too! :)
