I made my sis a wedding present that took 3-4 months to make - a movie containing interviews with immediate family, favourite songs, and countless memories, home videos, and good wishes for the groom/wedding. The video was to be shown at an engagement ceremony. The weeks leading up, I travelled to a different state for her bachelorette, planned a bridal shower in another state, and then was also planning what I was asked to do as an mc. I was up all night editing at least twice, before the engagement. When I was about to show it, my sister, who had been really rude the prior 3 days, literally pushed me aside at the ceremony (hand in my face) as I held my laptop to be plugged in, during the event, and decided to show her own 3 min slide show. I feel totally heartbroken and sad she treated me this way - I was shocked.I did tell her I was surprised she behaved that way. The night before the wedding, I still was shocked, but wanted to give her the video. She watched it. However, she commented on editing and sound issues she felt, criticizing the video?! Wtf. DEFINITELY felt hurt. For anyone who has ever made a movie, it takes a ton of work (it was 1 hour)

My social anxiety may be rearing its head again, but I attended wedding yesterday for a close college friend and his bride. I got them a gift from the registry which included a "best wishes" note and got them a separate card wishes best wishes as well. However, at the reception after the ceremony, I didn t really offer any words of congratulations and I am worried that they were waiting for it. I didn t have any time in which I spoke to either of them alone or as a couple, but spoke to them several times in a group. None of the other members of the groups offered best wishes during the conversations, but they may have already done so and some of them were members of the wedding party. It didn t really occur to me during the reception but did afterward. Was this rude?

My future wife and I are planning our wedding. I proposed in May and now we're starting to talk about what we might want to do. I don't really have a problem with what she decides to pick, she has good taste, but an issue has presented itself about our wedding party. She has a line of her best girlfriends and my two sisters, however, when it comes to my line I chose all girls and her brother. She seemed upset when I told her. I just want my friends up there to support me. She suggested that she could have my female friends on her side, but I really want them behind me. We've had a few bickering arguments about it, but nothing too serious. I know we'll get through this issue, but Im looking for some other opinions on the situation. We both know that compromise is key, and we want to work through it. What are your thoughts?

My fiance and I ended up picking a venue that does not allow any outside food (we must order all food from them, except the cake). The dinners are pretty expensive, so we thought instead of providing full dinners to our guests, we would change the time of our ceremony to an hour later (changed from 6pm to 7pm), and instead have an "appetizer only reception". We would have a full bar with cap, a couple different butler passed hors d' ouevres, and have appetizer bars provided by the venue. The bars we picked are a mashed potato martini bar, which includes fixings, "comfort food" bar, which includes mac n' cheese, meatloaf, and mashed potatoes, and a cheese tray and fruit display, which includes seasonal fruit, 6 different cheeses, and crackers. We are ordering enough for each guest to have 2 servings of the mashed potato martinis, and 1.5 servings of the other stations. As well, we instead opted to have a small 2-tier wedding cake (just for cutting purposes, and to save the top for 1st anniversary) and we are ordering large cupcakes from a local bakery. We will be ordering 8 different flavors of cupcakes. This is saving us $1500+. I feel like what we are providing is plenty for our guests, being that the wedding is later in the evening, and the invitation would state "appetizer only reception". What i'm wondering is does this seem rude? Has anyone been to an appetizer only reception? Were there any issues? Did you like it better than a pre-selected meal? Opinions?

My fiancé broke off our engagement about two months ago, but we decided to keep dating because we loved each other he just wasn't ready to get married. That turned out to be a load of crap because now here was are and I had to break up with him because he was acting like a child and treating me like I was his last priority. No wonder he wasn't ready to get married, turns out he's fifteen at heart. Anyways, pent up anger aside, he asked for the ring back but he was unemployed for the last four months of our relationship so I paid for everything for him and now I can't pay my tuition payment that is due next month. I'm selling the wedding dress I bought but it still isn't enough. I want to sell the ring. My argument is that he gave it to me so it's mine to sell, and he argues that he went into debt to buy the ring so he should be able to sell it to pay it off. Thoughts? How do I nicely tell him if I'm not giving it back?

I am the maid of honor in a wedding in early October. (I am also getting married October 2018...the bride and i are each others maid of honors). The bride and i have been friends since preschool. I m not sure if she doesn t understand etiquette, or if she s just incredibly rude. My mom and i were fishing for ideas one day for what she would like for her bridal shower, and she pulled out a $200 invoice for decorations she found and asked my mom to pay for it. She ended up planning the entire thing...the food, the decor, the date, the venue (which was my moms house). The food ended up costing me over $300. Between my mom and i, we easily spent over $800 on the bridal shower. The shower was yesterday, and when it was all over, she told my mom and i to keep the decorations for my bridal shower, so "my mom won t have to spend a lot on my shower." I am appalled at how she handled this. I want to confront her about it and ask for some money back or fire her as my MOH. I am not a confrontational person at all, so this would be difficult for me to do. I also dont want to ruin an almost 20 year friendship. What do i do?

I'm getting married and there are several guests who are family members who want to bring there s/o as their guests. That's fine, but a few of them have only been together for a few months less than 6 months, and I really want to ask that they keep their significant other out of the professional photos. I'm not talking about the ones where the photographer goes table to table, I'm saying the family photos, when we all get together. I don't mean to come off as a bridezilla, but I just don't think that people who aren't married or engaged should be in the big family photos, especially the bridal party. I understand they could be together forever but I also know they could break up the day after and now this person is permanently apart of these photos (and this photographer is not cheap) am I wrong?
