Dilemma of the day:
“My mum and my fiancées mum had a falling out over traditions that will play an important part for our wedding a little while ago and it got pretty horrible.
I have tried since the moment we got engaged to include both our families as we both have such a strong family focus in our lives but his mum has always had an excuse why she couldn’t make it.
Now we’ve booked a venue for the reception that we both love, it’s apparently all my fault that a small tradition that they would like can’t happen but my fiancé and I can only have this tradition if we pay thousands in a non-refundable deposit and we just can’t justify it.
I just don’t know what to do. I could keep planning the wedding of our dreams and if she participates great but I feel half the excitement about weddings is having everyone involved and excited too.” #mwdilemma
Dilemma of the day:
“I’m wondering if it’s still unacceptable for a female guest to wear white to a wedding? It’s just a simple short slip dress it’s a type of dress you would wear on a race day but as I don’t do too many outtings that require such a dress I’m just unsure if it would be offensive to wear white to a wedding!” #mwdilemma
Question:
“I am due to get married soon and I was wondering if anyone could help. My h2b was very close with his late Grandad and I was wanting to get him a nice gift with a picture of his grandad on it but I’m lost as to what to get. Has anyone done anything like this for their husband and if so what did you all do. Thanks” #mwquestion
Dilemma of the Day:
“My fiancé doesnt have many family or friends to choose from to be his groomsmen. Infact his best friend is a woman. A lesbian woman, would it be ok for her to be his “best man” ? Has anyone ever done this? She would wear a suit not a dress. #mwdilemma

Dilemma of the Day:
“My partner and I are having a champagne and cake reception however it will include canapes and cocktails. I am happy with negotiating the menu however my partner really wants party pies and sausage rolls as he says every canapé wedding we’ve attended sucks because everyone ends up hungry. I personally think party pies and sausage rolls are trashy, is that just me?” #mwdilemma
