DILEMMA OF THE DAY RECAP #23

Modern Wedding Posted: February 25, 2017

D I L E M M A   R E C A P   # 2 3 .

Dilemma of the day:

“My fiancé and I can’t decide on a honeymoon destination. I want a good amount of lazing around by the pool/beach and fun activities in nature (plus some shopping on the side) and he wants lots of culture (i.e. galleries and shows) and great surf. I’m not sure if we’re going to be able to combine all of those things but I’d like to try. Any amazing suggestions on great honeymoon destinations that include all of these things? Thanks x” #mwdilemma

Dilemma of the day:

“I’ve only just realised that it’s customary for the bride to pay for her bridesmaids’ hair and makeup. I’ve only been a part of two bridal parties before and one we didn’t have any and the other it was provided for us. I thought it was a nice gift but not actually expected. I haven’t factored this into my wedding budget. What do I do?” #mwdilemma

Dilemma of the Day:

“I have started sending out our save the dates, and I have come to a problem – I have one family with 3 of my cousins. 2 of them we are close to and have been our entire lives, but the third one has always been distant, and none of us have ever really got along. My partner and I don’t want the third cousin at our wedding, and my immediate family agrees with me – but I don’t know how to go about inviting 2 cousins and not the third (especially when one I want to invite and the one I don’t want to invite live together)!! Any help would be so appreciated!! #mwdilemma

Dilemma of the day:

“We’d like to honour my late grandparents on our wedding day and I was thinking it could be nice to “borrow” my grandparents first dance. The song is a classical orchestral number and my partner is really worried about having to do some sort of ballroom dance to it. Neither of us are dancers (he hates dancing) but we really like the song. What should we do?” #mwdilemma

Dilemma of the Day:

“My fiancé and I have a wedding dilemma! My fiancé had chosen his groomsmen, but one has just recently pulled out. We would have understood if it was a cost thing/ family thing etc but the reason we were given was that he and his girlfriend don’t want to be separated and they want to sit together and it’s unfair for them to be separated! What should we do? I don’t want my fiancé to be pressured into finding another groomsman especially since he felt so close with this friend of his and he feels kind of betrayed, but he doesn’t want an uneven wedding party! Also how can we communicate to these friends of ours that we are upset about this? We were going to offer the girlfriend to do a reading or something so she is included, but now that neither seem interested in our marriage at all we are unsure what to do!#mwdilemma
