My wedding Aug 23rd. It is a small close friends and family only event and everyone has a problem with everything. I have no bridesmaids because my sisters are "busy" with other things, my best friend of 25 years told me from the start that she is not into weddings so she would'nt be able to help with anything and the other "friends" beyond words. I thought if I had a small simple wedding and showed my friends and family that it's about my FI and I coming together as a family and not about the party and gifts people would wish us well and give their blessing, I was wrong.
