Even royals aren’t immune to family drama. Cupid has some tips of keeping family drama from affecting your wedding:
1. Establish boundaries: While we know pushy relatives are only trying to get involved in the wedding process because of how much they love you, it’s important to make it clear to your family that it’s your special day. Talk to your parents, in-laws and everyone else about how all decisions are ultimately up to you and your partner, even though you appreciate their input.
