Relationship
My friend doesn’t want me to plan my wedding though my partner and I are committed to one another.
I have just been through my best friend’s wedding, and I was the perfect bridesmaid for her as her family deserted her before the wedding cause they didn't like the choices she was making for the wedding. I have finally met my soul mate and we have talked about getting married, and he wants me to go out and do research on what I’d like for our big day. So I'd like to go to some wedding expos, just to get ideas, but my best friend had a huge hissy fit at me because I wanted to do these things even though I’m not engaged yet. She told me I shouldn't get my hopes up in case he leaves me. I want this time to be perfect for me because I tried to make it perfect for her, but at this stage without the support of my friends I really feel like I might just use a registry office or elope, and not have my dream wedding. What can I do about her?
My partner and I have made a commitment to each other and though he hasn’t officially proposed, I’d like to start planning the day. My close friend is entirely against this. What can I do about her?
How do I tell my fiance that I want to start our new life together with new furniture?
My fiancé wants to use old second-hand furniture and cutlery in our new home. How do I tell him I want to start a new life with him, with things that we pick out together that suit both our tastes?

Fiance Hates Kitty
Your honeymoon getaway is supposed to be just that: a “getaway” from the routine of your daily life and a time to commit to a future with your spouse. Get a cat-sitter and leave the cat at home if it makes your fiance uncomfortable — let the two of them duke it out when you…

24th Anniversary Gifts?
There is no official gift for a 24-year anniversary — it skips from 20 to 25 in one fell swoop! But we have an ingenious idea: Why not combine the traditional-contemporary gift for a 20-year anniversary with that for a 4-year? By that logic, china and linen would be appropriate traditional gifts (a perfect combination…

Is Love Enough?
I just realised that my fiancé and I don’t agree about anything — money, kids, etc. We love each other, and want to be together more than anything, but is love really enough? I’m depressed about all this fighting. What do you think?

Help With Clashing Home Styles!
My fiancé and I have very different decorating styles. His apartment is totally sleek and modern, while my place screams over-the-top vintage. We plan to buy a house together once we’re married, and I’m worried that things are going to get ugly (and I don’t just mean clashing styles!) when we try to decide what…

What To Do About The Ex Mess?
I have very calmly agreed to invite my fiance’s ex to our wedding. When she received the bridal shower invitation, her response was somewhat insane — she called my husband-to-be and asked him if I was “mocking her.” Then she did not respond with “regrets only,” and my bridal party paid for a dinner for…

Bombarded With Baby Q’s!
It seems like since the second we got engaged, every third person says, “So, when are you two having kids?” We’re not even married yet! How should we answer this rude request?
