Dilemma of the day recap #19

Modern Wedding Posted: January 28, 2017

D I L E M M A   R E C A P   # 1 9 .

Dilemma of the day:

“I’m the maid of honour for my best friend’s wedding which is in two weeks. I am so excited to share this special occasion with her. Sadly though, my partner has just broken up with me. He is not a part of the bridal party but is still invited to the wedding as he is good friends with the couple too. I know that I need to put our emotions aside to celebrate my best friend’s day, but does anyone have some useful advice? I’m wondering if there are any strategies to help me cope and avoid uncomfortable conversations with people who may not know we have broken up.” #mwdilemma

Dilemma of the day:

“I’m getting married in two weeks and I’m worried about my flowers. I went to a wedding on the weekend and it was extremely hot, all the flowers seemed to wilt by the time the reception came around. Does anyone know what I could do to prevent this happening to me?” #mwdilemma

Dilemma of the day:

“My parents divorced about 4 years ago, since then it has been very difficult to have them in the same room. I want to have my engagement party at my dad’s house as he has the room to host a function like this. My mum does not get along with my step mum and is refusing to go to their house. Should I change the venue to a neutral ground (plus pay a function room hiring fee) or stick with it and see if she changes her mind on things?” #dilemmaoftheday

Dilemma of the day:

“I’m getting married next year and my MOH has just gotten engaged as well. She’s set her date to the end of this year and is planning to book the same venue, stylist and florist as me. I’m afraid that our weddings will look really similar. We have the same circle of friends so a lot of the people at my wedding will also be at hers. I’m not annoyed about her choices, it’s just more about not wanting to have the looking reception. Is it silly to bring it up with her?” What would you do? #mwdilemma

Dilemma of the day:

“I’d love to honour my grandma on my wedding day by asking her to be a part of my bridal party. She is one of my best friends. I’m not sure what to do though because I don’t want to offend my other grandma whom I love but we aren’t as close. What do I do?” #mwdilemma

Dilemma of the day:

“One of my bridesmaids is married to one of my partner’s groomsmen. Is it okay if we don’t pair them up in the order of the bridal party? I know traditionally the order they walk down the aisle is kind of like the order of closeness. The husband will be my groom’s number two, whereas the wife would be my number four. My sister is my maid of honour and I wanted my best friend to be my number two.That would mean they wouldn’t enter the reception together or sit together. Is that okay?” #mwdilemma
