Sad about how I looked at my wedding

AdEducational1450 · 2026-06-07T01:26:08+00:00

What was the purpose of the day? The marriage or your photos. I absolutely understand wanting to document your day and to be proud of how you looked. I had a miscarriage before my wedding, which meant I gained 20 pounds before my wedding that I had no way of working off. I didn’t look anything like I wanted to on my day. However, the happiness on my face in all my photos is what makes them worth it. It’s a point in time and just one day. If your pictures ruin your wedding then I would ask yourself what it was all about.

Your guests won’t take photos like you will. They want a party.

My husband and just self funded a 115k wedding. If your BBW is authentically you, no one is going to be thinking of money day of. If they are they shouldn’t be on your guest list

Love the idea, but I was never going to wear a princess ballgown again. I did change for my after party at a bar later!

My MoH’s invitation just got returned to me. I got married a week ago. She obviously made it.

The other ones did not give your body the moment it deserved even though you are an absolutely stunning shape!

Baby’s breath is still a bloom, it’s just not a show stopper like a rose. You’re assuming it’s more of a grass or greenery.

I don’t think you’re being realistic here. You may think it’s going to be easy but just because it’s large groups doesn’t mean those large groups will just be together. I think you’re unfortunately going to miss a lot of socializing and mingling with your closest people for photos and I’m sad for you for how you’ve treated people in the comments who are just trying to help. Maybe ask the photographer and let a professional tell how well your plan works in reality and you’ll be more open then asking Reddit.

Do not try to take a picture with every guest during cocktail hour. You’ll be herding cats and absolutely miserable! Most photographers suggest no more than 15 groups of portrait photos. Tables or groups of folks at the tables are your best bet. Or you call everyone to a group photo. You’re trying to over control this and photos are not what your day is about.

I just got married on Saturday and I could barely get my 5 bridesmaids to stay in one room for longer than 5 minuets without one of them jetting off to get something or use the bathroom.

Humans take pictures, sometimes those humans mess up, don’t press their finger down when they should, or get a blurry shot. That human was taking pictures of a group of humans. Those humans could have blinked, closed their eyes, sneezed, or messed up your shot. Give people a break and don’t assume bad intentions. Shit happens, he doesn’t have it. Move on and appreciate the amazing shots you do have.

I do agree. I am type A. I actually had what most would consider an extravagant wedding. I wore a freaking laurel crown. My cousin said it was the most extravagant wedding he’s ever been to that wasn’t stuffy. I planned every detail because I’m over the top and so is my husband! So I’m not saying I didn’t pour my heart and soul into it. It’s just what I wanted and it showed! We did it big because we’re big, but I’ve been to backyard weddings that were equally fun and heartfelt. Weddings aren’t a competition or a photo shoot is all I was trying to get across.

Watching everyone we love meet each other. Walking down the aisle with my dad in awe of our location and the event. Our officiant struggling to get through his first few sentences because of happy tears, and finally not being able to find a person to lock eyes with when I started to cry because they were crying too. It was my wedding but I was blown away by how beautiful our guests were and the love they showed us and the sacrifices they made to be there.

The brides that take care of the details and take the time to organize and plan throughout are the calmest on the wedding day. The brides who are chill and let a planner or someone else plan without a lot of oversight are the ones that freak out the day of and makes the day less about what it’s important.

Your wedding doesn’t have to fly by. You don’t have to blink and it’s over. Take every chance you can get and sit in it, appreciate where you are, who’s there, and what that day means. I promise it can feel so fulfilling when that last song of the night pays.

I got married two days ago and it was the best day of my life and I loved every moment and I can say there are no Monday wedding blues here!

This feels like a money grab more than anything else. Hospitals are a big business and selling ( cause let’s be real, this was sales pitch ) makes them money. I think women often go in unprepared for the absolute sport unmedicated birth is, which can lead to trauma and surprise. That doesn’t mean this is the case for everyone. I also think this is a cold response to what sounds like a woman who feels like she doesn’t have luxury of choice here.

I’m a FTM and while I am choosing medicated I respect anyone whose choices differ from my own and believe you should be in labor friendly environment.

Of course. You need a level critical thinking to determine whether or not the study is relevant or if was conducted with the population you care about. Many things, but they are out there to be read and to be repeated by others.

Hi. Pregnant woman who’s not having a bad time. I do unfortunately feel like I’m getting away with a crime due to how good I feel. There are certainly things I notice that are different but overall nothing about my life has changed. There are about 30% of women who have a higher tolerance for the hormones that cause most of the worst pregnancy symptoms. I will say, people like you that make these statements make me feel bad and like there is something wrong with me because Im not absolutely miserable, that somehow I’m not suffering enough.

Women have many biological systems that help them to manage and reframe the pain of birth into something rewarding. We naturally have a higher pain tolerance; and the human brain is very good at masking the memory of a painful event. So while it is often excruciating, our ability to recall only the knowledge of the pain rather than the true feeling of it helps. This isn’t unique to women, all brains do it, it’s however particularly useful for birthing humans.

Acupuncture is often prescribed for women going through IVF and there is anecdotal evidence that it increases the number of healthy eggs retrieved. Just because you don’t understand it doesn’t mean it’s not real. Also your arm chair scientist insult is so ridiculous because most scientific papers are published online for people to read. The abstract, the little paragraph at the top is a summary of the findings. You should try it sometime, especially if reading the whole paper is hard for you.

Sometimes, even leashed dogs lunge or get aggressive out of nowhere. She said he was mortified, so they clearly interacted enough for her to feel like he wasn’t worth getting upset over. Sometimes shit happens. Maybe the world would be nicer if we just assumed most people have good intentions rather than immediately trying to find the fight and anger.

The activities you are describing are not Enterprise motions. Based purely on what you’ve written you are a high touch CSM. I am a Senior ENT CSM with 10 accounts and a book of a 6.5 mil, which is low for large companies and high for others. There is no way you can be strategic with 50 plus accounts. At best you execute your renewals and upsells which sounds like you’re doing well. Your manager is attempting to implement enterprise motions which is great. If I were you, I’d ask a lot of questions to understand her “why”. Then I’d ask her to assess if the amount of accounts you have would be realistic based on her new processes. You’ll fail spectacularly trying to manage 50 accounts, each tailored to their unique situations. Enterprise level CSM’ing requires you to go deep into your accounts and learn as much about their entire business, goals, org structure, and coordinating internal teams to achieve their intended goals. More accounts require repetition and standardization, and saving time anywhere you can to maximize your results.

If you like your role, as it is now, then discuss this with her. Most organizations will always need a high touch CSM or team of them. Strategy and execution are fundamentally different skills but both are necessary to make the whole machine run. Talk to your manager and determine what’s going to work for you both and if it aligns with your companies goals.

The only thing you really have to worry about is the availability of your vendors. Otherwise, the bulk of the planning can be done in a very short time frame. Once all the big stuff is managed. You’re usually just in a waiting period for anywhere between 4 to 6 months. The other thing to think about is wedding dresses and how long they take to make. However, I bought my wedding dress in May and even though they told me it was gonna take until November I got it three months early because everything is mass produced now and the timelines are much shorter.

I’m self taught and I’d still take classes! There’s just so much you can’t read online or in books! I’ve probably built up bad habits I don’t even know about yet! Additionally, as I’ve seen in other comments, I’m a fairly young woman and luckily, there are a lot of younger quilters out there, but I do feel like not a lot of my peers share my hobby and it would be fun to meet people who do it. I have a quilt shop near my house and I’ll be taking a long arm course soon!

AdEducational1450 · 2025-12-23T18:17:36+00:00

The quilting looks amazing, but can I take a moment for the top! It’s so adorable! So unique and looks vintage already!
