Dilemma of the day: "I've recently been asked to be a bridesmaid for a friend, and to be honest I was quite surprised as I've only known her a few years. I'm honoured that she thinks of me this way, but I'm a bit concerned about the cost and whether I'd be able to make myself available enough to help. I'm based in Melbourne and the bride (and wedding) is in Sydney. The bride sent all the maids an email of the dates for dress fittings, planning days and parties and I'm not sure I'll be able to afford to come up to all of the events. I don't want to decline, but I also don't want to be MIA. What should I do?"

Dilemma of the day:
"My mother-in-law recently pulled my hubby to be aside while we were visiting from interstate to tell us she wanted us to have an engagement party as she's not sure her mother will make it to the wedding, due to ill health. We had previously told her we did not want to an engagement party as our wedding is 6 months away, and we are already holding it near Sydney to accommodate his and my family, as we are the only ones interstate. Not only does she want this, she also wants to invite her friends, and exclude my hubby-to-be's father and other grandmother from the festivities. While she has said she will pay for the party, it will still mean a big cost for us, travelling, missing work and also my family who would have to travel from the country. My HTB already has a very poor relationship with his mother and this will only make it worse.
