Perfect Brides #2

This story is about my daughter-in-law, Sweetie.  She was very considerate in planning her wedding and asked a few questions of me, but most of them went to her own mother.  She met most of the female relatives attending the wedding at her shower.  She was gracious and polite to all of them.
The wedding was [...]

Perfect Brides #1

My submission for the perfect bride is my cousin.  “Tamantha” got married in 2002 to her longtime significant other “Wade”.  Since Tamth’s (my personal nickname for her)  lost her parents several years before, I wanted to help and make sure all went well without stepping on toes or crossing too many lines.
 
I need not have [...]

Maid Of Horror #5

I had to fire my MOH.  I know that sounds like I am the Bridezilla, but once you read this story, you will understand.

The MOH, whom I shall refer to as Betty, was my future SIL. She was a bit younger and immature, but we were good friends and wanted to be the MOH so [...]

Maid of Horror #4

This wedding mess occurred back in 1996. My then-best friend, Carrie was marrying her fiancé Gary after a rather tumultuous 15 month relationship. Of course, I am thrilled for Carrie because her first marriage was, according to her, abusive and terrible, and I am hopeful that she and Gary will have a wonderful wedding and [...]

Maid of Horror #3

 My fiance and I have been together for a long time. We have had to keep postponing our wedding plans for many different reasons ranging from financial, legal, to employment situations over the years.  Finally we get a chance to set a date and move forward with our wedding plans. I pick a date, a [...]

Maid of Horror #2

So, I got married about two months ago at my parent’s house in Utah.  The wedding itself was perfect and I wouldn’t change a thing except for one- my awful bridesmaid (who will me Anna for the retelling)!  She was nothing if not rude, ungrateful, and disrespectful not only to my husband and I, but [...]

JUNE IS WEDDINGS FROM HELL MONTH!  BEASTMAIDS AND BEASTMEN THIS WEEK!

I find it sad that something as wonderful as a wedding can expose how much you have grown apart from your friends. The girl I thought was my best friend before my wedding is now someone who I’m too disgusted with to ever talk to again.

Wedding Guests Foot The Reception Bill

I received an wedding invitation from a friend who is a professional woman who owns her own business, for which she works hard and is successful. Divorced herself, she took up with a man who already had three previous marriages. The invitation invited me to attend a buffet dinner to celebrate the happy day to [...]

Greedy Guests

A little background. The wedding was May 25, 2008 so we made our RSVP deadline the beginning of May. Unfortunately we had to track many people down for their responses. (Our reception venue required a final number and final payment a week before the wedding, May 19, 2008) One of those people was my DH’s [...]

The Audacity of Greed

My best friend Jane and I were also friends with another girl, Lee, in high school. However, we weren’t super close to her because of how bossy and controlling she was. After graduation we all moved away to go to college. Jane and I kept in touch, even after I had moved overseas after college [...]
