So I plan on asking 5 girls to be bridesmaids and one to be maid of honor. My maid of honor is 22. And the bridesmaids ages are 22, 26, 27, and 32, the 5th I would ask is 50 years old. We are really close, I met her through work and she's close with 2 of the other bridesmaids. Is that weird to ask her to be a bridesmaid or am I just over thinking it?

do you think there is any hope for us to be together in the FUTURE. I have known him for eleven years and he is by far the best I've ever met. The entire eleven years I've known him he's always been a stand up person. I think we've only ever had one arguement the entire time we've been friends because we mesh so well together. We have a lot in common so we don't really have anything to argue about. We both are on the same level financially, spiritually, emotionally, and physically. He's always been the one person that I can relate to above anyone else. When I''m around him I feel a sense of comfort, I peace, I feel true joy. I've never been as happy as I am when I've been with him. He's everything I want in a boyfriend and I don't even have to try to mold him into what I want him to be. He already has it all. I realized that I've overlooked him all these years for toxic men. I realized that I'm in love with him. I was going to call him and tell him about how I felt or write him a letter and tell my feelings but before I got the chance he told me he was back with his gf. I've always been in a relationship and since he has morals he has never tried to make a move. this is the first time i've been single in years and years. But my relationships with those other men were toxic, draining, and full of compelete misery. I would like to add that While they were broken up we were texting and on the phone until 4 am, texting nonstop and he told me she was very toxic and everything. I feel like they won't last long because she's an extremely toxic person but I'm still depressed that I can't be with him right now.\ I told him to compliment me up i just need a moment to feel good and need compliments and he was like " You are electric so i know you don't need baiting up but you have an endearing smile, beautiful as always, captivating eyes. since they've been together he hasn't been texting me or calling me as much and I feel my depression getting worse and worse. I've been sleeping for 14 hours a day and even when I get up and go to work I still feel exhausted and the smallest of things will make me wanna burst in tears I don't want to be with anyone else. No one understands me like he does. And I understand his personality. I only want to be with him. For 11 years he has been the only person to understand who i am and what i go through.

I don't think it is, but my future SIL says that I'm demanding too much. My fiancé and I are spending in total 25k on this wedding nearly half our total savings together. I just told everyone that a gift is mandatory. Whether that gift be something big or small EVERYONE over the age of 18 has to bring something. Now I have friends and family angry at me stating that I'm being "rude" or "Greedy" Does it sound that way? I'm not asking anyone to pay, I just want something. The gift doesn't have to be a microwave or a stove. Socks are great too! Snacks, anything! I don't think that's a lot to ask from people who are getting to be in an EXPENSIVE ballroom for FREE, eat expensive catered food for FREE with an expensive DJ playing songs THEY recommend. You guys are overstating this, I'm not demanding I'm asking. If someone doesn't bring something I won't kick them out lol. But ofc if you don't go with regular wedding "norms" here you're always the bad guy. It's 2019 not 1980, come on.
