It’s expected that you make some sacrifices for the weddings of those close to you. You’d probably rather use your precious PTO to go on a vacation for yourself instead of spending it traveling to Piedmont, South Dakota, to watch your cousin get hitched, but you use your PTO anyway because you love her. We’ve …

Stepsister drops out of being a bridesmaid after bride insists that she wears an ugly dress while the 7 other bridesmaids wear pretty dresses: ‘She told me it wasn’t my wedding and I was meant to do what she wanted.’
Coordinating bridesmaid dresses for your bridal party is no small feat. I dread the day that I’m going to have to do it, because knowing me, I’ll want to do yellow or some other unflattering color as the theme, and will have to compromise so that all my friends don’t hate me. I have friends …

‘I stood my ground’: Orphaned 30-year-old refuses to give her future sister-in-law her late-mother’s heirloom wedding dress, but the bratty SIL pulls big brother into the dispute
Family heirlooms are precious, and this woman in our next story was sitting on the Holy Grail of irreplaceable family mementos. Watching your parents get older is a strange phenomenon. Once powerful guardians of the family, they grow feeble, weaker, and a little more fragile. Dads who used to walk 10 miles at Disneyland with …

Older sister bridesmaid demands bride change her pink and green wedding colors because they don’t compliment her complexion: ‘She even threatened not to come if I didn’t change the colors’
I don’t get it when people claim that specific colors look horrible on them. Maybe I’m just a narcissist, but I wear crazy bright colors all the time and have never found a color I think looks horrible on me. I don’t particularly like wearing all black, but that’s not the color’s fault; it’s just …

Bridesmaid tries to kick out wedding guest because her yellow dress looked white under the blacklights at the reception, bride and groom couldn’t care less: ‘[You] should have left when asked because it made people uncomfortable’
Every non-bride who shows up to a wedding wearing a white ballgown knows they’re in the wrong. No matter what they say, they are fully aware that this action is a surefire way to get attention, and they care more about that than the feelings of the bride. Most of us have enough common sense …

Mother-in-law forces bride to take wedding pictures against her will, groom sides with his mother: ‘He said let him down by making such a fuss over a normal part of weddings’
We’ve all heard of bridezillas, and some of us have encountered them in real life. It’s easy to think of a bridezilla as an unrepentant and unreasonable monster who wants it her way or the highway, no matter how unreasonable her way is. While those brides do exist, it’s much more likely for a bride …

Brother asks sister for $16000 for his wedding, is offended when she draws up a loan contract: ‘He’s defaulted on 2 car loans and his credit score is around the 470s’
As someone who just spent the whole weekend watching Four Weddings (the TLC show where four brides are pitted against each other and they have to vote on which one wins), I can confidently say that weddings are expensive. Even the lowest budget ones are usually north of $10,000, with no upper ceiling. There are …

‘Don’t let sunk costs trap you’: No-regrets adults share tales of backing out on their already-paid-for weddings
Backing out on a wedding last minute can seem like a pretty reckless decision. Usually, you (or your family) have put down non-refundable deposits, notified the community, and bought some slick new duds. But marrying the wrong person just because some people spent some money is an even more reckless decision. Nobody knows this quite …

40-year-old refuses to wear same bridesmaid’s dress as rest of the group, jeopardizes friendship with the bride: ‘I look much older than all of them’
There are only a few situations in life where you’re forced to wear something you didn’t pick out: when you’re a kid, when your job requires a uniform, and when you’re a bridesmaid. That’s usually the whole sitch of the gig– you wear a dress that you probably think is ugly, spend too much money …

Bride and groom gift $800 to each wedding guest, pay for their first-class flights: ‘For a 100 guests that’s like half a million alone’
Many people dream of their fairytale wedding. Movies and TV shows put big ideas in our heads about over-the-top ceremonies in exotic, far-flung locales, huge couture gowns, and all the bells and whistles. Weddings capture our imaginations: they’re parties, yes, but they’re also public displays of love, family, and most importantly, of wealth. They’re opportunities …
