Both of my siblings have said that a non-religious wedding isn't a real wedding and both are threatening not to attend as a consequence. It tears me up inside. (Having it in church isn't an option- FH and I aren't religious, we feel it'd be lying to everyone, and we feel it particularly important to be open and honest on our wedding day)

My fiance & I have been engaged for a few months now and have just started talking about our wedding plans. He has asked that both his siblings are in the wedding party. I asked him if he would ask my only sibling (brother) to be a groomsman, and he said no! He said it's his decision to pick his groomsmen, and that he wouldn't feel comfortable with that. WTF?! He has met my family many, many times and always got along great with my brother, so this really upset me. Am I being unreasonable in wanting my only brother to be a part of our day?

I got engaged this past Saturday, while on vacation in Italy. My (now!) FH & I have only told our parents & siblings so far & wanted to tell our friends in person. For the past 2 years we've thrown a superbowl party for each of our 4 closest friends & are planning on telling everyone as soon as they are all there. Since we already agreed to 4 BM & 4GM's, we're going to ask them right then too. I'm so exited!!!

My siblings and I were always screwed out of bringing dates to family weddings...funny, now that my sibling is getting married all the now divorced single cousins are assuming they're a +1. Um...no....karma baby!

My BF & I have been on vacation in Europe since the 26th of December. He proposed to be the day after we arrived, in our hotel room, on the balcony at sunset with candles all around. It was perfect, I said yes of course but we decided to wait to tell our families in person. We are leaving tomorrow to meet both our parents and siblings in London. I'm so exited to tell them we're engaged :D!!!

My sibling is getting married next year. In recent years He has been literally forgotten about by one side of the family...excluded from weddings and other family functions because they forgot he existed. Well, now the tables have turned and all those people that think they're getting an invite can sit on a tack. Tables have turned, now it's your turn to see how it feels to be excluded.

He has a massive family. 6 siblings plus him, about 30 aunts/uncles, millions of cousins, you get the idea. I am an orphan. We're not sure what to do about the lack of people sitting on the bride's side and how to make it not look kind of ridiculous. Any ideas?

We're not having a bridal party, just involving our siblings. I hope my friends aren't offended, we're just not traditional and its a beach wedding.

I'm so piss off that fiancé wants to get a mortage under is name for his sibling who foreclosed on their house last year. We are less than away from our wedding.

Yesterday my 7yr BF explained to me that one reason he wouldn't want to get married is because of my siblings - he wouldn't want heavily disturbed people present at such a special day (my sister once tried to kill me). I told him I had never wanted them there either, and had always preferred to have a dinner with parents instead of a huge ceremony (we're both shy). He smiled and said "well, that changes things..." :)
