Bride demands introverted 25-year-old cousin perform a choreographed dance at her extravagant wedding, family labels her the villain when she refuses, claiming she should do this one favor for her: ‘I don‘t feel comfortable dancing in front of a crowd’
Listen, you might be the loudest, party-on-the-table type of girl in the room, oozing confidence in every direction. And hey, there’s nothing wrong with that.

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 …

I hate to see adults downplay the importance of their relationship with the children in their lives. I’m not talking about a random family member that a kid sees once or twice a year: I’m talking about grown-ups who actively take a parental role in their kids’ lives, and don’t fully accept the responsibility of …

When you ask someone for a favor, and they accept with a few conditions, maybe you shouldn’t insult them and their entire family if you don’t like said conditions. By all means, no one is forcing you to agree, but at the end of the day, they are doing you a favor, they are agreeing …
