.My niece has been dating her boyfriend for 3 years and we couldn't ask for a better man for her !His sister has been dating her boyfriend from out of state a year and they are planning their wedding .His sister and future husband chose their bridal party, including but not limited to blood relatives. (In their defense) Friends, cousins girlfriend , etc .My nieces boyfriend told his sister that he chooses not to be in her bridal party because he feels he would be disrespecting my niece, leaving her out of everything and alone at the wedding .Poof we now have family drama over there !Brides reason for not having my niece matched up with her brother: she's not blood, and she hardly knows her. I told my niece it sounds like she doesn't really like you and karma is a ***** !Brides mom feels her son is wrong and everyone would agree so this is where you all come in and give your opinion. My nieces boyfriend (brides brother) is now refusing to be in the bridal party !Mom and dad say he should bite the bullet and tell his sister he will anyway. Mom asked...how would you like it if your sister refuses to be in yours when you marry my neice . Everyone has the right to choose their bridal party yes but everyone should respect your family members and never contradict yourself !My question is... is my neice and her boyfriend wrong or is the bride for not respecting her brother? Let's hear it...

There's no wedding registry or anything but I thought I would get a little wedding gift. They eloped due to family stuff in both their families and so there was no wedding or anything like that. They're going to be in town over Christmas.

Hi, my fiance and I were planning to get married on Labor Day weekend 2020. We decided on renting a large home at the NJ shore for the week, which we intended to have family down to stay in and have our rehearsal dinner. My Mom became Ill a few months ago and we felt the need to move the wedding up to this December so she would be able to attend. We asked the owner if he would let us out of the rental ($16,000 for the week, we gave $8,000 deposit already) but he has a no refund policy on the home and has not answered our written request. I can understand if the date were 2,3 even 6 months away, but this is more that 10 months away. Can anyone advise us on how to proceed?
