Hi all! My wedding is less than a week away and I’m very concerned for what my dad might say at the wedding reception. Recently he’s been getting very bad in the group chat , talking about immigrants and other very politically charged issues that are driving us all nuts. He’s very right wing and believes a lot of crazy things from Fox News. My fiancé is the son of an immigrant (first gen) and also has family members here in the states that may or may not be legal. My dad has actually met these people and loved them but he didn’t know they were not legal . It’s gotten so bad though recently that a few people in the chat are wondering if he is actually racist and I just cannot tolerate that behavior at our wedding . Any advice from anyone else dealing with these issues? I def will be having a talk with him not to mention any political or controversial topics at the wedding , but he really doesn’t listen to any of us when we ask him to stop, so I’m not sure what to do.

Hi All! I had my bachelorette party this past weekend and long story short I decided to invite some local girls since most of my bridesmaids were located out of state. The one bridesmaid that was in state acted like she was interested in coming to the party, but then last minute told me she was just coming back from an out of state vacation and needed to catch up on housework and work following her trip even though I had told her about the party over a month in advance. I personally thought these excuses were pretty weak, but just decided to respond respectfully saying that I hope she got everything done and she would be missed. The day of the party I saw she posted a story on Facebook of her at the lake with friends that I also invited to the bachelorette party which was the same location that I was planning on going the next day for day 2 of the bachelorette party . Despite being irritated, I didn’t say anything , but then see that my friend is posting about going to some fancy event the 2nd day of my bachelorette weekend . This really irked me but the icing on the cake was that she then sent me a message Sunday saying she couldn’t wait for the wedding and that we should catch up sometime afterwards . I have no idea how to feel about all this. I’m not going to resind the bridesmaid status , but I’m kinda thinking our friendship is over at this point. Thoughts?

My fiancé and I get married in less than a month and I found out today that his new job may require him to start during our honeymoon. It is a great opportunity for him and I want him to take the job, but I’m absolutely devastated since I paid for our honeymoon and I haven’t been able to take a vacation in years at this point. I was really looking forward to this alone time that we’d get to share together exploring a new place together as well finally as a married couple. It’s not for sure yet, and we have until the end of the month to cancel for a full refund, but we also don’t know if he’ll get a start date before the end of the month either . Most likely won’t be able to go on a vacation until next year and I already took off work so I’m so unsure of what to do. Just feeling completely defeated right now . 🥲

Hi All! I’m new to this group but wanted to see if anyone might know what’s going on since I’m currently struggling with seeing any progress with my cut. For reference I’m trying to cut down to around 127 lbs but currently my body has been going up in weight not down even on a very strict deficit . I started with 1500 calories and 140 g of protein or so but that wasn’t working , so slowly have decreased it down to 1300 calories and around the same protein and I still have not seen my weight go down. I normally hover around 134 normally , but lately I’ve been shooting up to 136-7 even being in a deficit . I’m honestly not sure what is going on and at this point I feel like I’m starving and pushing my body to the limit with my workouts and calories being so low. I’m 5’8 for reference so this feel like my calories are too low, but nothing is working . Any advice?

Hi All! I’m feeling a little frustrated because the entirety of our wedding planning has been completed by myself including paying for everything (with some help from both sides parents). I’m constantly having family members bring up the fact that my fiancé should be contributing at least to some decisions/or financially yet every time I bring anything up, he thinks it’s too expensive so unless I pay for it myself nothing would get done. Backstory, he didn’t really want a reception but did want to get married in the church. Recently I just went through the selections for readings , the program ect for our ceremony and mentioned that I did this but would love to hear his input too, but he just mentioned that he knows that I have both our best interests at heart, so he trusted my choices. I was honestly surprised given that he was the one that wanted the wedding in the church that he didn’t really care which selections I picked. I’m feeling pretty disappointed at this point that I’ve had to pay for and do all planning for our wedding since he hasn’t really been involved with any of the details and gets freaked out when I mention costs for things which is why I’ve stopped mentioning that to him. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Just wondering if this is pretty typical for guys not to care about anything wedding related or were your guys more involved?
