I'll try to keep this short. Basically, my feelings are hurt because my brother's always favored our mutual friends over me, and picked one to be his best man. He's asked me to be a groomsman but tbh I don't even want to be a part of the wedding anymore. I feel like the least I can do Is attend the wedding (mostly for my parents sake) and turn down being a groomsman but my mom said that would be wrong. Idk what I should do?

My fiance and I are having our wedding on February 17th, 2018. However, we just decided that we are also going to the courthouse on Tuesday the 13th because that has been our "dating" anniversary for the past 4 years (we met on a dating website so it was the date we met and our first date). I had always thought it would be sweet to get married on that anniversary and he thinks it's a good idea. At first we were just doing saturday the 17th because mid week weddings are inconvenient for many reasons. But sort of last second we threw this in too because it's a special date for us. We told our parents and siblings they are welcome to come. His mom is mad because we are being "rude" about changing things last minute. We are still having the wedding on saturday, by the way. She can't / doesn't want to take off work for a "tasteless" courthouse ceremony. We are still going forward with our courthouse ceremony before the saturday wedding. But, I am wondering how you fellow parents / siblings/ etc would feel if a close loved one did this? Hurt, left out? Okay, let me clarify something. I don't give a care if anybody comes to the courthouse with us and I wasn't expecting anybody to come, I just wanted our immediate family to know they are welcome. My mom is coming, my dad is working. It's a nonissue to us if anybody comes. We aren't having "two weddings" we are having 1 wedding on saturday. We are getting married "officially" on the 13th though but still doing the ceremony and reception on saturday. I was just asking how you guys would take it.

The wedding was set to start at 6pm in an indoor wedding venue/ banquet hall, At about 1 -2 pm, the area where the venue was located went out of power. The wedding was set to start at 6pm in an indoor wedding venue/ banquet hall, At about 1 -2 pm, the area where the venue was located went out of power. The owners didn't notify the bridal party nor did they bother getting a generator beforehand. Nor ffer a refund or offer to reschedule the wedding.Rather, they made the bridal party's over 600 guests stay inside the venue on a 95 degree day. the owners hid in the back for over two hours,and left the venue leaving the wedding guests in the dark hot venue. instead of running out to get a generator (that should have been on the premise in the first place). The groom's brother had to get a generator for the wedding...BUT the venue claimed it was the owners who got it-WHICH THE OWNERS DID NOT BOTHER GETTING ONE AT TIME OF THE INCIDENT. (as it took only 30 minutes for the groom's brother to get a generator juxtaposed to two hours of hiding and running off with out returning a generator). The city's power was restored at 9:30pm, what the bridal party paid over tens of thousand of dollars to have a four hour wedding only lasted two hours because the owners told them the party had to be over by 11:30 (as originally planned) and eventually shut it down.
