A wedding celebrates the joining of two people into the matrimonial bond. During a wedding, both families can celebrate and enjoy the newest member of the family. But what happens if the wedding is not viewed as a celebration but rather as an extravagant attention-grabbing pity party? In the story below, a frustrated bride turns to her fellow Redditors for advice. OP revealed that she and her fiancé have been preparing for their wedding for the last few months. OP was happy since everything app…

When a bride picks you to be a maid-of-honor, you should be delighted, honored, and thrilled at the thought that the bride couldn't imagine going though her big day without you by her side.

OP's best friend has finally gotten engaged and is excited about the idea of marrying her one true love. However, between t…

Some ladies have fantasies of an extravagant wedding complete with fireworks, a delicious red velvet cake, a stunning white gown, and doves soaring overhead while the couple exchanges vows.

The story that follows is an account of a fiance who is sick and tired of his future mother-in-law. OP is a doctor with a stable salary, but his…

Your default best friends are your siblings. You argue, make a lifelong vow to hate one another, and then spend an hour hanging out as if nothing had ever happened. Although we frequently think there is nothing we can do to drive our siblings past the point of no return, what would happen if that were to happen? The scenario in the story below is so severe that it may turn even the closest of friends into sworn enemies. So, OP over here graciously offered to arrange and plan her sister's weddin…

On your special day, having your father walk you down the aisle to your handsome and devoted husband-to-be is customary. It is intended to symbolize the father's blessing on his daughter as she assumes her new responsibilities as a wife and mother. But why not personalize the custom to make it exclusively for you? Regardless of biological kinship, why not pick the person you hold in the highest regard to walk you down the aisle on your big day? The following story goes into greater detail on th…

Participating in a friend's wedding generally means one of two things. First, it indicates that you are extremely well-organized. Secondly, it may suggest that the bride values your friendship so much and therefore couldn't imagine getting married without her closest friend by her side.

However, what happens if the bride goes too far, her expectations are not met, and, to be honest, yo…

Ever Though About Turning Down Being a Bridesmaid? It's More Common Than You Think

Party girls unite

A wedding celebrates eternal love, the coming together of two individuals until the end of time. A wedding marks the end of every fairy tale. However, life isn't a fairy tale, and correct me if I'm wrong, but most of the time, things don't tend to work out exactly as planned. So, should we accept the blows as they come or raise our hands in defeat? I've heard countless stories of brides crying on their wedding day.
