Over the last few weeks I’ve answered a couple wedding-related questions in my “Dear Wendy” column that left me wondering why people are still following outdated “rules” when planning a wedding. One person who wrote me worried that her fiancé would have more guests on “his side” than she’d have on hers; the letter I […]
Angelina Jolie was the victim of tabloids countless times in 2018. The top rumor was that the actress was going to marry a wealthy British philanthropist. Gossip Cop busted Life & Style in March for publishing a false cover story that claimed that Jolie was going down the aisle with a secret boyfriend. He was […]
I’m terrible at asking for help. I’m one of those people who will drive myself insane trying to do everything alone rather than dare reach out for assistance. And not just that: I also preemptively take on tasks and responsibilities, whether asked of me or not, to I don’t know, make life easier on everyone […]

It’s romantic, especially if you believe in “the one,” which is the idea that there is one special person out there who […]
This summer, my younger brother is getting married. (I would like, before going any further with this subject, to state in no uncertain terms that I very much like the young lass he’s chosen for his bride.) When he got engaged, I immediately started working on my plan for what I’d do if I were […]
