Everyone is allowed to have the wedding they want to have, within reason. As long as you can afford it, or have help to afford it, what you say goes. You don’t have to bend to convention if you don’t want to. You don’t have to wear a big white dress and invite everyone you’ve …

39-year-old baby sister Maggie tracks older sister’s Venmo payments to uncover cruise details, sends husband to guilt-trip trying to crash the vacation: ‘I told him nicely it was too late. Cabins and hotel booked, excursions set, rental car full’
Digital payment apps have transformed financial transactions. Period. They also transformed paying for stuff into accidental social media feeds, where buying someone lunch accidentally becomes a public announcement that you have disposable income and flexible vacation policies. Modern families now navigate the treacherous waters of Venmo voyeurism, where every transaction memo functions as an involuntary …

Dysfunctional outdoor wedding demands guests pay $2 for water, serves wedding cake without plates or utensils: ‘I watched as people walked around holding dessert in their hands.’
A perfect wedding is something that can be paid for. You can’t always control exactly what your wedding guests do, but if you spend enough money, you can at least control the food being served, the music being played at the reception, and the pastor who is joining you in holy matrimony. If you have …

Couple asks friend to play at their wedding but cuts him from the guest list, man sues and wins in court after they refuse to pay: ‘I wasn’t even treated like a guest, just free labor’
Weddings in 2025 are more expensive than ever. My aunt who’s been coordinating them for over a decade, says couples need at least $80,000 to get the full experience, covering the venue, catering, flowers, the works. With prices like that, it’s not surprising that some couples look for ways to cut costs. But cutting costs …

It’s easy to sit around and contemplate your dream wedding venue. Wouldn’t it be swell to get married in the Metropolitan Museum of Art or at Notre-Dame de Paris?

‘[I told] my mom I’m not her retirement plan’: 55-year-old mother demands her 28-year-old engineer son fund her many golden years as he deals with student loans and urban rent
Some parents treat retirement planning as producing children and waiting for the ATM pins to mature, a cultural myth that thrives on guilt and nostalgia and hovers in dining rooms like an heirloom nobody wants until the invoices arrive. In this economic pageant stands a twenty-eight-year-old son balancing rent, student loans, and the privilege of …

Mother-in-law claims bride ruined her dramatic smoke-machine entrance at her wedding by screaming ‘call 911’ when she saw the smoke: ‘I thought there was a fire or some sort of emergency’
Weddings are all about theatrics. You may be thinking, «I’m not a theatrical person, my wedding was/is going to be normal.» Wrong. All weddings, unless they are simply you going to the courthouse in your regular clothes to sign papers, are theatrical. The very nature of it is like a play. You rent out a …

Fiancée with 30 million in trust funds demands half her partner’s modest 100K through a one-sided prenup that keeps all her riches untouched: ‘They say this is “standard,” but nothing about our situation feels standard’
If you want a pulse check (and definitely NOT an open cheque) on the cracks of modern romance, just suggest a prenup. Preferably, one drafted by a battalion of lawyers employed by someone else’s parents. When one partner is lounging on a thirty-million-dollar pillow and the other is balancing a checking account that squeaks at …
