Worst Bridal Advice
An Article I Found...
"I was recently a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding. I'm also engaged and was amazed when she told me I couldn't wear my engagement ring during her wedding because it was larger than hers...ridiculous!" —Scarlet, Longview, TX

"I was told that if the groom was unavailable during the toast, the bride has to kiss the best man." —Anonymous

"The worst wedding advice anyone has told me was to sing our vows to each other." —Erin, Richmond, VA

"My mother wanted me to ask random pretty girls at church to be in my wedding party so that my brother could meet and then date them." —Anonymous

"'Beggars can't be choosers.' This advice was given to me when I decided to wait on making a decision on a dress and venue. I have a low budget, but being rushed into any decision seems unwise." —Erin, Rockford, IL


Please leave comments on some of the worst and Best Advice you girls have had.... I know how once you are engaged everyone one has something they need to tell you. And i guess we all need to remember that our family and friends are giving us the advice because they love us . Right ?

This isn't exactly advice, but after we announced our engagement, someone told me "I didn't know you guys were serious".  My fi was very upset, & I just felt like an idiot...that maybe we weren't doing the right things in front of others.  This comment actually came from an out of town relative who just didn't know any better, but sometimes I wish people would choose their words carefully.  Another thing that bothers me is when someone getting married asks for your advice, & when you do your best to answer, they snap back like they don't want it.  Why ask?

One of our friends told me we shouldn't bother getting a wedding band for my FH because he'll never wear it anyway, just like her husband never wore his. Except, Scott is Scott and if he didn't want a ring, he would have told me!!

I also got the comment that "I didn't know you guys were that serious" It did make me feel a little weird. We dated for three years and I guess we just appeared to be more like friends to them, but maybe it was because usually everyone lives together first, but we didn't so it made us less serious looking? They should have re-thought that one.
Also my mother-in-law told Brandon that he should invite his dad / step dad to his bachelor party because he would feel left out. They do not have that kind of relationship and it was just very weird. Plus, our we in high school? His dad will have to understand.

The worst advice i've gotten was from a relative who said "why do you want to get married?? just move in with him..It's cheaper!" lol I was blown away by this statement. lol

My Mother in law told me a "few words of wisdom" Which kinda of make me laugh. She told me is was now up to me to cook clean and make sure hes bathed. Why is it that Moms baby theyre sons until they get married? I moved in with my FH and he had never done laundry cooked a meal or even cleaned up after himself thank god he new how to shower. and im also thankful hes a quick learner.....
I think this is the worst thing a mother can do to her son and her future daughter in law
