    I have been blessed with minimal drama so far (*knocks on wood so that doesn't change*), but so far it has been family.

    My FH parents are divorced 10+ years and only one re-married, so wedding talk and making it clear all three of them will be there has caused a little tension between his dad's new wife and his mom.

    A few little hiccups with the bridal party, but nothing I feel is truly worthy of the 'drama' title.

    My mom and I kept arguing about ceremony format. She wants the traditional religious one with all the trappings while I want a simpler, personalized ceremony. Our day is more than a year away and we've already talked about this countless times lol

    So far no drama has been brought! but i think my dad is holding his tongue about it being a cocktail style reception. He is a chef so food is his thing and I'm sure he thinks that we should be having a dinner. I think that once we get closer to the date and more things need to get done there will be drama.

    We had a little drama with some bridesmaids not being very helpful, but we moved passed it and everything was fine.

    We kinda anticipated some drama at the wedding with family.. but nothing happened. It was the perfect day.

    Oh my lord, where to start.. My sister who is also a bridesmaid is about to be disowned. I am paying for the ladies dresses ( that they all agreed on) their hair and makeup ( they pick the style) and she is demanding that she wear pants, no makeup, doesn't want her hair done at all and that she will not be eating or drinking so she wont be there after the ceremony and refuses to be in any of the pictures. She is also complaining that the ceremony is going to be outside, she doesn't want to be standing. I'm so done with this attitude but I don't want to burn any bridges as she is my sister and I want her at the wedding.

    That sounds like some serious jealousy on her part. I'm actually dealing with similar situation. Best woman, FH's best friend. She's promised to do things and to help ect but keeps flaking. And not with acceptable excuses. I'm getting fed up and she has threatened to not even come to the wedding more than once.

    A wedding party member (who might be uninvited now because of this). My fiance's best friend who was supposed to be his "best lady" has been very unsupportive of the wedding and doesn't seem to like talking about it at all. She also completely dropped both of us on social media almost a month ago and they've never gone this long without talking since they first became friends in Jr High.

    It hasn't been fun, but I've also told my FH that he's responsible for managing the relationship with his parents moving forward so that I can take a step back.

    It seemed I faced a lot from my parents and know it all brother who thought the things I needed weren't what he thought was a big deal at the end. Having conversations with cousins and other family members that he was going to and felt it was too confusing what was being told and left it to me.

    At the same time, my husband then was also just being a crouch about the expenses when he wasn't putting anything towards them and picking fights over small things.

    My future MIL has been the most dramatic about everything... From fighting us on a destination wedding from the beginning, cancelling our engagement party at the last minute, being bitter about me having purchased my dress without her, purchasing outfits for her and my future FIL that mimic the wedding party outfits despite having told her countless times not to wear such things... Just feels like one thing after the next, really.

    Most drama will probably come from family, especially around the no-kids policy (younger than 16) and plus ones (why single cousins didn't get one). However, we'll be anticipating drama from mutual friends who might end up splitting up by the time the wedding rolls around.

    Family for sure. They have been a lot more...free with their opinions on things when they haven't even been asked to give it.

    Family for sure. Two different cultures coming together and having two different ways of doing things makes it a little tricky sometimes.

    Family. My side has been pretty chill but there was some original head-butting about not getting married in a Greek church on his side. But it's been minimal since then.

    I don’t think there’s been much drama ever since my FHs friends decided they weren’t coming.

    Drama is for sure from the family. Everyone gets so damn offended by everything and forgets that this day is about the bride and groom and not them!

    Drama has been hard on the girls side- out of 6 two are no longer there. Its been insane amount and not needed and caused by them.
