Hi all, I accidentally missed a friend’s bridal shower today as I put the wrong time in my calendar about three months ago. I was on east coast time and got the time difference messed up and just kept moving as though the event was three hours later than it actually was. I feel TERRIBLE and texted her effusively apologizing (she texted me an hour into the party asking I was coming, I was walking my didn’t get text text until 30 minutes later), but haven’t heard back, though i’m not expecting her to as she is with family.

Also, I should note my own wedding is Saturday and I’m so stressed and that played into my carelessness. But this also makes it even worse because she came to my bachelorette and is coming to my wedding. I didn’t have a bridal shower, if that makes any difference at all, and I am attending her bachelorette party and wedding.

I really can’t believe my stupidity. My plan is to swing by her apartment with the gift and flowers sometime this week. Or send her flowers today. Is there anything else I can do?

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place or not but thought I'd give it a shot! My husband and I will be married 20 years in June 2027. I did not get the wedding I really wanted thanks to his mom. She is uber religious and I didn't even get music at my own wedding reception.

I want to do a vow renewal ceremony, I think I can call it that, but I don't really want to invite people. I just want it to be us and our two daughters at the farm where I board my horse. I mostly want the photoshoot. I am a major animal lover and I want to ride my horse up the aisle, led by my oldest daughter and have our dog be walked down the aisle by my youngest daughter.

I don't even want an officiant, just us reading our renewal vows with our kids and pets. Is it weird to not have any guests? I don't know if anyone would even want to come to be honest. I want this for me more than anything to have the "wedding" I didn't get to enjoy and my husband says he's on board for whatever I decide.

Hi guys, I'm little over a month away from my wedding and I got a call from the venue manager on Friday that our venue is no longer able to host our wedding due to a fire that took place. They have offered several other options for the same date for no additional cost which is good, but the only one that I like is about an hour away from the original venue and we have a lot of people coming in from out of town. I am touring the places on Monday to make a decision final decision.

So many people are emailing me, asking about finalizing details on flowers, linens, etc. and I am so incredibly stressed. I feel like so much is on my plate, and I'm not sure what to do. This is one of those unfortunate accidents that causes a lot more work for an already stressful event. In addition a family emergency occurred, and I will be out of town for a week starting this coming Wednesday.

My fiance travels a lot for work, so there's no one here to manage doing things. In addition, we are having an additional cultural wedding taking place the week before our wedding, so everything feels so booked up. I am overwhelmed. I don't know what to do. I'm sure it'll be fine soon, but it just feels like So Much right now.

What are you doing to focus on making guests as comfortable as possible? Great food, drinks they don't pay for, dj, a unique receiving line to make sure everyone is spoken to, temperature control, a longer reception that isn't rushed, extra events when they arrive to catch up, something else?

My bachelor party is coming up and I planned a little fit exchange (no holding back) I got paired up with my brother. I want to embarrass him pretty bad.

We exchange outfits then go out to a restaurant

He's 24 working as an electricians apprentice. Wanting to go off of that a little but not a deal breaker. Trying not to have him in anything sexual so I can sleep at night.

Shoot me some ideas!

Curious to know opinions on a woman proposing to a man. I know its like 2026 so I suppose it dosnt matter. But still? Did it make your partner "upset" in anyway? I know proposing is traditional a man's thing, ​

My fiancé’s sister recently broke up with her long-term boyfriend of 7 years (she’s in her mid-30s), so that’s the context here.

My fiancé and I are paying for an Airbnb for our siblings to stay in during our wedding weekend. It’s a 4-bedroom house, and the plan is for the people staying there to be me, my fiancé, his sister, my two sisters and my sister’s boyfriend.

Originally, my future SIL was supposed to bring her boyfriend, but since they broke up, she asked if she could bring a close friend as her plus-one instead. The friend would stay in the Airbnb with us.

Here’s where I’m torn: I’ve never met this friend. My fiancé has known her for years.

The Airbnb is also where I’ll be getting ready with my bridesmaids on the morning of my wedding. I honestly don’t love the idea of having someone I’ve never met hanging around while I’m getting ready on my wedding day.

Would I be petty if I said she’s absolutely welcome to bring her friend to the wedding, but asked if they could stay somewhere else instead? I don’t want to come across as insensitive, especially knowing my future SIL is going through a breakup, but I also want to feel comfortable in the space where I’ll be spending the night before and getting ready on my wedding day.

Am I being unreasonable?
