Weddings are expensive as is. You don’t need to force your friends to pay more for no reason. It would be weird to ask your friends to fork over more than is necessary just because you want full control over the wedding party. You can’t have it all. I’m of the mindset that if you …

Are wedding gifts actually a burden in disguise? Sometimes gifts can feel like an obligation, especially with family. They can feel like a big deal- like you have to make a big show of accepting it and then giving something in return. It can be an over-the-top type of performance that you would rather just …

Bride insists ex-friend emcee her wedding for free despite their falling out: ‘I am not her friend and had no intentions on going to her wedding’
Would you work a wedding for free? If you’re offering a service to someone, odds are you want to get compensated for it. Even if it’s for a friend, there is only so much you’re willing to do for free. You don’t want to undervalue yourself too much, or else you’ll never get over it. …

Everyone is in charge of their own body hair, end of story. We all get to decide what, if anything, we want to do with it. And nobody else gets the right to tell us what to do. Sure, there are certain social expectations, but we get to decide whether or not we’re going to …

Bride calls out 39-year-old who claims she can’t afford a wedding gift but spends $500 on her outfit: ‘We’re almost 40 now and her prioritizing looking hot has long since become sad’
Other people’s weddings are not about you. Plain and simple. Sure, it’s fun to dress up and party with your friends, but ultimately, you’re there to celebrate the couple. They should be the focal point of the evening, not you. But this is difficult for some folks to internalize. They see a wedding as an …

Wedding planner seats guests alphabetically by first name, separating them from their dates: ‘One table was pretty much just women named Sue/Susan/Suzanne who didn’t know each other at all’
Going to a wedding is a big social event. Sure, you’re there to celebrate the happy couple, but you’re also there to hang out with all the other guests.

Announcing your pregnancy is part of the fun of having a baby. There are all sorts of videos on the internet of people doing it in clever, fun ways, and it always makes me cry. Especially if the dad cries. It’s such a joyous moment, and surprises are fun when they’re good news. It’s probably …

Stepmother of the bride shows off white dress she plans to wear to stepdaughter’s wedding: ‘It isn’t white…it’s tan…almost goldish’
What is with people and wearing white to other people’s weddings? Isn’t it a universally acknowledged truth that you shouldn’t do that? Unless you’re literally a child, you cannot plead ignorance on this one (and in that case, an adult should have told you). Even if the bride in question isn’t wearing white, unless she …
