Should You Kick Out A Bridesmaid?

Earlier this week, a Reddit user sparked interest when she told a story from her wedding. She was complaining to users because she was deemed rude by kicking out her maid of honor after her MOH delivered her speech. Not to mention her MOH was her sister. She was complaining because her sister has used this time to talk about her depression and how the groom had helped her through this tough. This was when she knew the groom was meant for the bride. After the speech, many of the guests, according to the disgruntled bride, showed more attention to the MOH than herself. Because of that, the bride decided to kick the MOH out. Now the question is was this justified? And, how do you know when to kick out a bridesmaid? Continue reading "Should You Kick Out A Bridesmaid?" »

#AskTheBridesmaid – Do I have to pay for expensive makeup and hair?

Dear Ask the Bridesmaid,

I am in a very tough spot for an upcoming wedding I will be in. My brother is getting married, and his future wife has asked me to be a bridesmaid. I'm honored she asked me, but the problem is that she expects us to pay for our hair and makeup. Which I wouldn't care about, except for the fact that it's gonna cost me $250!

That's stupid expensive, especially since I just got married, bought a house, and I know that it shouldn't cost that much. Like for my wedding, it was only $50 for my bridesmaids to get their hair done, and if they wanted their makeup done too, it would cost an extra $35. So to help out, I paid $15 each for the cost, and they all agreed to get their makeup done on top of that. I basically made it an option because I know what it's like.

What should I tell her because I need to save money, but I also don't want to make her angry or my brother angry?

– Hannah

Tattoos at Weddings: Should they show or should they go?

Choosing to get a tattoo is not a decision to be made lightly. If you've been inked, chances are your tattoo means a great deal to you (since it's going to be there forever). That being said, some brides still choose to cover their tattoos or those of the wedding party during their wedding. This could be for any number of reasons, and there's really no right or wrong answer to the new age question: Should I show my (or my wedding parties') tattoos during my wedding?
