I am a 23 year old Christian woman who is going to be married to a great guy in about 3 months. I am however currently live with my parents until the wedding day. Throughout the months of wedding planning, not mention in different ways throughout my life, I have had to deal with a paranoid, controlling Latina mother who believes she has my best interest at heart/knows what is best for me and an American fiancé who wants me to Do what I want to do. Due to how much I love each of them and understand where they are coming from, I am constantly being torn in two emotionally for little to big decisions. Ranging from day-to-day decisions about my meals to whether kneeling is necessary for the ceremony. As a Christian, I don t want to disrespect my mother and tell her to back off so I can do whatever the heck I want, but I also don t want let her run my life until the wedding and thereby cause my fiancé to have to suffer along with me. What advice could you give me? I am at my wit s end and utterly distressed.

My older brother (by 4 years) got engaged 3 years ago and they re now planning the wedding. My brothers and I grew up in a broken home. Our dad walked out and my mom always pushed the father role on my brother. For awhile he was angry about that but he now says he s not. Ever since his engagement he s pushed away our family and been very envolved with his fiancées. He s very close with her nephews, siblings and parents and is constantly with them. He rarely talks to us and when I reach out we ll talk but then he ll ignore me for weeks. When it came to wedding plans we have been informed of nothing except the date. I was not asked to be bridesmaid because I m 16 but he then asked his fiancé to ask me to be a junior bridesmaid. He s just completely pulled away and I feel like he s trying to create a new family outside of us.

I am looking for advice. My husband and I got married last year. His brother and his brother s fiancé didn t come. They didn t send a card, a gift, or even a congratulations. They didn t like any of our pictures we posted from that day. Absolutely ignored it all together. Now they are getting married and we are most likely invited. I am pretty resentful and a little pissed. This woman he is marrying has been nothing but rude to me and when we are together for family functions (she only comes around for Christmas and Thanksgiving) she doesn t even make eye contact or say hello. I have went out of my way to make things less awkward multiple times but I m done and refuse to kiss anyone s ***. Now we have to attend a wedding which in my opinion is a sham because they ve had serious issues recently that I won t get into. Should we even go? Or do we need to suck this up? It s extremely hard to overlook the way our marriage was treated to enable their bullshit marriage.

I am planning on getting married in September and am looking for an affordable wedding hall, preferably in a hotel, in New Jersey. Central NJ would be the best but I am not being super picky. The food has to be Glatt Kosher and it can not be in a conservative temple (too bad because many of them are beautiful) I am also on a budget, a tight budget. Any suggestions would be great! Thank you

Do I sit the groom's guests at the same table as the bride's guests at the wedding reception, or separate them?

My sister is getting married this year and I got married 2 years ago. As excited as I am I feel like people are going to compare our weddings because hers will be more extravagant then mine due to different financial situations. I also feel people are more excited for her then they were for me. It's like a weird envy I am going through. I have been taking it out on my husband too maybe cause financially my sister and her fiancé are well off and have a lot of financial support. Has anyone experienced this? I love my sister and even tho I had such a beautiful wedding, everything leading up to hers is makinG me anxious

I am planning a destination cruise wedding. My ideal time to go on the cruise would be May because of numerous reasons. My maid of honor is unable to attend the wedding if it is in May because of school commitment. The only other time to go on the cruise that works for both of us is during their hurricane season, which poses a big risk of the cruise being cancelled. I am having multiple people tell me that I should not be planning my cruise around one person but she is my maid of honor and told me right away when I first told her about my plans that if I have it in May, she would not be able to go. I feel that I would be in the wrong if I did it during that time knowing she could not attend the wedding. But others are telling me different that I should not plan MY wedding around her schedule. WHAT TO DO!?

My fiance and I are planning our reception, my mom wants to get a DJ, the DJ plays mainly pop, dance party music like cha cha slide, YMCA, UpTown Funk, etc. My fiance doesn't dance.. like at all. I've tried teaching him how to dance but he doesn't take it seriously and doesn't want to do it in front of people at all. Is there any way to skip over the dancing all together and no one notice too much? Okay, I know they'll notice but are there any alternatives? I also have to add, my fiance doesn't like pop/ dance party music. He likes classic rock, christian and country

Ok so I'm planning a wedding in 8 months (omg!) So I'm going dress shopping 7months before, but I read that alot of places take 6-8onths to ship your dress in after your purchase.. Is this legit? I'm going to David's bridal and maybe a couple other places, do they usually take that long and how much would it cost to speed it up?

Our wedding is going to be in October 2018 (we don't have a set day) but I don't like the usual color schemes for fall weddings. My ideal colors are a pastel blue and pink with gold and cream accents. My partner has no problem with the colors. It's not going to be a girly as the colors sound I just wasn't sure if people would be like "It's fall and pastels are for spring" It's going to be an outdoor wedding with a southern/vintage feel. Thank you all so much! It's a good thing we have a ways to go because I have a lot to learn but I guess i'm not supposed to know everything at 18. :)
