Weddings are a common flashpoint for family drama. They’re expensive, they’re imbued with meaning, and they give everyone a chance to show off just how much of a family they are. They’re one of the few public displays of family (aside from funerals and the occasional family barbecue). So it’s no wonder that they often …

‘You are being unnecessarily dramatic’: Dentist refuses to attend brother’s wedding because she doesn’t like off-the-shoulder dresses
Wedding attire is often a contentious concept, though it really shouldn’t be. Don’t wear white if you’re not the bride, and keep it formal. End of story. But there are so many rules and gradations of rules that everyone gets a little crazy. There’s a whole subreddit dedicated to wedding fashion advice, and it gets heated. But in my mind, it’s on the bride and groom …

‘You found a loophole’: Parents’ $50k wedding gift exposes ridiculous double standard, daughter elopes in response
It wasn’t so long ago that young women only had two choices in life: get married or good luck, sweetie. It remains true in other parts of the world. But thanks to some courageous gals of history and those who championed them (aka the invention of the dishwasher and birth control), we have a few …

‘She can’t trust you or the friendship’: Duplicitous woman hides 4-year marriage from best friend, casually slips it into conversation
I understand the desire to elope. Weddings are massively expensive and time-consuming, and if you’re a person who doesn’t thrive on attention and white dresses, it might not be for you. I feel like the public perception of elopements is that they only happen for illicit reasons… like if a couple is running from something, …

‘The bride burst into tears’: 20+ Hilarious moments when wedding guests didn’t ‘hold their peace’
I haven’t been to many weddings in my day, which I kind of regret because I love spectacle. Any time that a group of people gets together in the hopes of things going well, there’s always potential for things to go wrong. There’s too much comedic tension. Like funerals, when something is funny at a …

Controlling girlfriend forbids boyfriend from wearing a kilt to a wedding: ‘She needs to get over herself’
Kilts are rad. They have a long and storied history and culture, look fashionable, and let the legs breathe. What’s wrong with that? To some killjoys out there, though, kilts are apparently embarrassing for your boyfriend to wear. What are you afraid of? That he will outshine you and no one will notice your off-the-rack …

‘I hope this gets normalized’: Bride and groom request cash instead of gifts, sparks debate about wedding etiquette
If weddings are one thing, they’re not always romantic, inspiring, or even fun. They’re expensive. Even the cheapest weddings leave you with sticker shock. It’s no wonder that seemingly more and more couples are opting for nontraditional ceremonies, or skipping them altogether. If you don’t have thousands of dollars lying around (and most people don’t), …

‘You want a my child free wedding’: Bride throws child-free wedding, deliberately excluding her 17-year-old niece, the only ‘child’ in the family
I understand the appeal of a child-free wedding. After all, wedding ceremonies require the spectators to sit still and shut up, and wedding receptions usually have a lot of drunk people staying up late. Kids can’t always handle either of those situations, and sometimes it’s best to be better safe than sorry. There isn’t always …
