Announcing your pregnancy is part of the fun of having a baby. There are all sorts of videos on the internet of people doing it in clever, fun ways, and it always makes me cry. Especially if the dad cries. It’s such a joyous moment, and surprises are fun when they’re good news. It’s probably …

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 …

UPDATE: ‘They have only been dating for 4 months’: In-laws try to force a bride to allow her Golden Child brother-in-law’s new girlfriend’s baby to be in the bridal party, divisive chaos ensues when the couple refuses
These in-laws seemed to forget WHO was getting married at this wedding. And although their Golden Child son had just met a new girlfriend (with a baby from another man, I might add), it was their other son and his fiancée who got to call all of the shots. As it turns out, they had …

‘You’re seriously going to make people sit outside like they’re in a field? That’s so low-class’: Entitled mom demands daughter cancel her wedding because she wants to have it outside
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 …

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 …

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 …

Parents ask 31-year-old daughter to contribute $5K to her younger sister’s wedding fund after they refused to spend a dime on her wedding 2 years earlier: ‘You and your husband were more established financially. Your sister’s still figuring things out.’
Many people’s parents cover at least part of their wedding costs. I’d say weddings and down payments for houses are the most common large-scale financial gifts aging parents are willing to give their adult children, because they’re setting the foundation for a productive adult life. I know that wealthy parents paying for their kids’ dream …

Destination weddings can be a tricky business. When you think of your dream wedding, it might be in a far-flung locale surrounded by the people you love. But when you think about it a little further, you realize just how expensive this is to accomplish. Not only do you have to pay for the wedding …

Bride insists her wedding guests wear neutrals, throws a fit when they abide her wishes: ‘It looks like everyone is dressed for a funeral’
You can’t always get what you want. But sometimes you do… and you’re still not satisfied. This is one of life’s cruelest lessons. It’s summed up by the phrase «be careful what you wish for.» There are plenty of movies, shows, and books that remind us of this rule. We don’t always know what’s best …
