We all get enough of politics without meaning to, so it follows that you don’t need to bring it up when it’s not necessary. And a lot of the time, it isn’t, for example at a baby shower or a birthday party or really anything that’s supposed to be celebrating one person, not creating opportunities …

‘She isn’t a part of the wedding’: Overbearing stepmom wants to wear same color as bridesmaids, doesn’t understand why bride is upset
Your wedding is the one place where you get to tell people what to wear. Sure, you’re not responsible for individually dressing everyone, but you can give them guidelines they’re expected to follow. And there are a few biggies, like refraining from wearing white unless you’re the bride, and not straying too far from the …

Selfish ‘golden child’ announces pregnancy at sister’s wedding despite her wishes, parents take her side: ‘I was furious’
To paraphrase one commenter, the one rule of weddings is that you’re supposed to do what the bride asks. It’s her one day, and no request should be overlooked. If she wants the groomsmen to wear purple vests, that’s what you’re doing. If she wants her wedding band to be a One Direction cover band, …

Bride forces maid-of-honor to give up her seat so her dog can sit next to her, is confused when she is upset: ‘If Luna is taking your seat, then she can also take your role’
Some people are weirdly attached to their canine companions. I understand having a close relationship with your dog. They are ultimately like family- you care for them, spend years together, and develop a real understanding of each others’ rhythms. There are moments when they almost feel like humans, you know them so well. But there …

‘Watch. Your. Kids’: Entitled mom lets 4-year-old run wild at wedding and grab a chunk of cake, balks when bride flips out
The debate between having a kid-free wedding or a kid-friendly wedding is a tough one. On the one hand, weddings are all about celebrating family and extended circles of love, so why would you exclude children from that? It also takes away the burden of your guests trying to find childcare. On the other hand, …

Groom insists on ‘Cadbury purple’ wedding theme despite not helping to plan, lashes out when fiancé refuses: ‘It doesn’t go with anything’
Choosing wedding colors can be a big deal, and there are not a ton of ways you can deviate from the norm. There is a very limited swath of socially acceptable wedding colors, and they usually range from pastel blue to… pastel pink. Sure, you can have some flashes of color here and there but …

Overstepping mother-in-law commits cardinal wedding sin at 26-year-old son’s wedding: ‘This is your MIL testing her power and influence over you’
There are a few rules in life that you just have to follow, no matter how silly they might seem. One- always tell someone when they have something in their teeth. There might be a split second of awkwardness, but they will thank you in the end. Also- never tell your friend they should break …

‘Your wife should meet with a lawyer while you’re gone’: Husband plans to attend wedding in Aruba without his wife, fails to see why his wife is upset
When you’re married, you’re allowed to do things alone. You’re still a person with their wants, desires, and lives. It probably even helps to have some separate activities, or else you’d quickly get sick of each other. Weddings, though, are generally something that you do together. It’s just one of those things. It’s like a …

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 …
