"Go as a guest. Support your friend in a role that doesn't bankrupt you..."

Weddings are a celebration of two people coming together to form the holy bond of matrimony. To put it simply, marriage is a time to celebrate new beginnings and love. Therefore, it makes sense that attending an event like this on your own would make you feel nervous and uneasy. The story below is an account of a frustrated friend. The original poster (OP) had recently attempted to attend a wedding. By attempted, I mean, OP was invited to a wedding but refused entry upon her arrival. For some c…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. As they say , communication is key . Although we have all heard this lifelong saying, few take it to heart.

There isn’t inherently an issue or offense to conflict, but it will most certainly spin out of control when one doesn’t express it to the people involved. This brings us to the Reddit thread . It’s about a woman getting married, who’s appointed her best friend to be the maid of honor. Her friend i…

The marriage guidbook

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. It’s never fun to feel unsupported by family members . We all have our own things, our own lives, but there are some crucial moments where it’s appropriate to put aside your own things for the sake of family. Some people are better at this than others. Some people have a hard time letting go of their immediate self-interest for a greater good, to toss aside your own wants to compromise with someone else. In my opinion, compromising is one of th…

Sounds like she dodged a bullet

Weddings are joyous occasions commemorating the union of two people you love.

The story below is an account of a frustrated friend. The original poster (OP) and the bride have been friends since fifth grade. As a result, OP was overjoyed to hear that he…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. When planning your wedding, it’s normal to want to curate it exactly h ow you want it to be; from the cake, music, venue, and guests, it’s all your say. We’ve all heard the term ‘bridezilla,’ but let’s face it, it’s her wedding so she has the right. It wouldn't be the first time that someone outside of the bride and groom chose to try and dictate wedding plans. Inappropriate, but some people lack that kind of tact. This brings us to the Reddit piece. It’s abou…

Yikes!

“In my eyes, he was fawning over another woman while I was just in the next room.”

You are called the mother of the bride for a reason. It's not your wedding.

“The entire situation just made me feel [terrible], and I got pretty upset. He started laughing because he said it wasn't a big deal and I should just give him his space.”

The goal is marriage. You eventually walk down the aisle toward the person you will spend the rest of your life—and maybe start a family with—after a period of courting during which you get to know your partner through both his and her best and worst moments. The story below is an account of a frustrated wife. The original poster (OP) recently married the person she believed to be her true love. They are now officially married after three years of dating and a year of engagement. However, the m…
