Miss SOS (Save Our Sanity)
Dear Miss SOS:
My fiancé has a very young son from his previous marriage. I prefer that he not be in attendance when I marry his father. Is this OK?
It depends. If the boy is a toddler and too young to even remember the wedding, you may consider leaving him home. However, if he is older, he should be there or else he may feel excluded in your new life with his dad. You can also ask a family member (grandparents, aunt, uncle) to look after him or hire a professional sitter. Regardless, your fiancé should agree to these arrangements for his son prior to finalizing any plans.
Dear Miss SOS:
I have a very limited budget to host my wedding reception. Do I have to invite everyone that was invited to my bridal shower? My mom says I have to otherwise it would be considered very rude. I say it’s my wedding and I can only afford a certain number. Who’s right?
What an interesting Bride you are. As Miss SOS understands it, only certain family members and friends are considered good enough to be your guests at your wedding reception but everyone was good enough to be on your bridal shower invite list. Listen to your mother dear, she knows best. In the meantime, Miss SOS suggests that you drop the Bridezella pose and immediately meet with your caterer to determine something that’s more affordable with the increased number of guests that will be attending.
Dear Miss SOS:
My fiancé and I are getting married outside during the monsoon season. What do I do if it rains?
You will have checked the weather forecast a week in advance, with a tent already on reserve. If needed, the tent should be set up the morning before, preferably with side panels to the ground to maximize rain damage control. You should also have some umbrellas waiting for guests just in case they need to run for cover.
