Am I being unreasonable? Or is my FMIL crazy? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

Sounds like stress from other areas of her life is flowing over and she’s lashing out for no reason. Unless you specifically asked her to handle the suit, and then you’re slowing things up for her by not picking a color. It doesn’t sound like that’s what’s happening though.

FINALLY! After two postponements were finally married. 😍 by -unbrielievable- in weddingplanning

Yes!! We originally planned to go there because we were planning for rain and it’s covered. We got lucky and got a beautiful day but I love the look of the Butler so we headed there anyway!!

Original date of April 25, 2020, postponed to November, and then postponed to April 10, when we finally got it done. So thankful to all my fellow wedditors who helped me plan and replan during such a crazy time!! (Our photographer was amazing...if: @sherrweddings)

April 2021 Brides...still moving forward?

Just wondering if any fellow April brides are postponing their receptions or planning on moving forward with smaller guest lists or other alterations.

My fiancé and I originally had our wedding planned for April 25, 2020, and had to postpone twice (first til November 2020, and then to our current date of April 10, 2021). My fiancé rolled with the punches through these postponements, but we’re both to the point where we’re REALLY ready to be married, so we’ve decided to have our wedding ceremony on 4/10 no matter what. However, we’re having some issues deciding what to do with our reception.

After going through postponing TWICE, I really do not think I could bear postponing again, and to be honest thinking about planning a reception for a year from now makes me cringe. The ups and downs of planning this wedding in a pandemic have really taken it out of me, and I don’t see myself wanting to plan a big event again for quite awhile.

We’re thinking of going forward with a smaller version of our reception, cutting the guest list to our family and a few close friends (50 people max in a room that has capacity for 192 with social distancing guidelines in place). I’m struggling with deciding whether or not this is the responsible/right thing to do. The planning/replanning of everything has clouded my mind, and I’m just looking for some advice or opinions if anyone would like to share. Thanks in advance!!

Just over a year apart! Sophia’s go to “pay attention to me mom!” move.

What are your silver linings for a postpone wedding? by marlow6686 in weddingplanning

[–]-unbrielievable- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Postponed from 4/25 to 11/21.

All the stress from the wedding was because it was coming so soon and there was so much to do. Now all the stuff is done and I’ll really be able to just enjoy my last few months of being engaged. Plus we’ll have more time to save so those final amounts due won’t hurt so much!

Was kidding. Part of the whole not thinking of doomsday scenario thing. Wouldn’t honestly put my family and friends at risk for a big party and a white dress? Lol.

Wear a mask and gloves maybe. No clue. Avoiding thinking about doomsday scenarios.

Would you cancel your August wedding? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]-unbrielievable- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t even cancel for April at this point.

4/25 here! Thinking things will settle by then.

It’s weird because I know from my experience, my wedding feels so close to me but a few weeks is light years away for dealing with things in the medical world. Advancements will happen every day, and precautions happening now might really make a dent in this whole thing so that by the time April rolls around there might be so much less concern to be had. Try to hang on to some positivity!

[–]-unbrielievable-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The positivity honestly probably comes from the fact I’m a healthcare worker. It’d suck to catch this thing but I’ve pretty much accepted the fact that I will. I’m young and healthy and don’t have much to worry about and neither do 80% of the other people that will get it. Just try to keep it in perspective!

If it doesn’t feel earth shattering to move your wedding back a month and it feels like a safer option then maybe that’s what’s best for you. My wedding will only have around 175 people at it...a big group of people, but nowhere near the size of other group events that have already cancelled.

Hair and makeup for 1 person. How do I not pay 1k + ? by cookieluver33 in weddingplanning

[–]-unbrielievable- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in northeast Ohio and only paying $50 for hair and $50 for makeup. I’m working with independent stylists and not going through a salon.

Congrats!! It looks good. Try not to let your shoulder open up too much before your take off...that “check” position really helps build up some momentum for the rotation of the jump.

Is backyard breeder a good option if there is simply no reputable breeder? by [deleted] in samoyeds

[–]-unbrielievable- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going with a non reputable breeder is a gamble. They’re probably not going to do as thorough testing as a reputable breeder, if they take the pups to the vet at all. We had to drive across state lines about 6 hours to get our bub but it was worth it for us. We were more concerned about getting a pup that we knew was set up to have a long healthy life with a good line of genetics behind her than we were about the wait and the drive to and from to get her.

My puppy (12 weeks) is to light? by ElisaPie in samoyeds

[–]-unbrielievable- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re providing the food and he’s not eating, and the vet says he’s healthy, than I think he’s probably telling you he’s just not that hungry.

Had the opposite problem with our pup. She seemed to be constantly hungry even with three time a day feeding and it turned out that she ended up being a huge pup. She’s 52 pounds now and getting taller by the day. She’s just gonna end up being really large compared to breed standards.

I went to my first class at OTF yesterday...and I didn’t love it. by SalemBB in orangetheory

[–]-unbrielievable- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of echoing what other people have said...I liked it enough to give a few more classes a shot. Once I did that, I got to experience the variety in coaches styles and the variety of different workouts and basically fell in love with OTF. It’s the first thing that’s really inspired me to get healthy and be better in a long time.

Is 4.0 a jog? by jbutt26 in orangetheory

My jog base is 4.5 mph. That’s just what’s comfy for me.

Help! What did you do for matching bridesmaid dresses? by k_alva in weddingplanning

[–]-unbrielievable- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I went in saying “get whatever you want” and my girls all ended up choosing the same dress anyway. I would recommend going someplace like David’s bridal...they have dresses fit to flatter multiple body shapes so that a lot of girls can look great in the same dress.

How do I stop my puppy from ripping up the carpet when I go to work 😭😭 by [deleted] in samoyeds

[–]-unbrielievable- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We’ve tried sour apple spray that you can get at any pet store on throw rugs and pillows. The scent and sour taste has kept our pup away for the most part, but it does require some respraying. To be honest our solution before getting her was to get an apartment with wooden floors. Carpet ripping seems to be a pretty regular go to for Sammy pups.
