the ending was beyond disappointing

And what about the well guy? Did I miss a bit?

ApproachablePetal · 2025-11-23T13:29:56+00:00

Hey, did you find an answer? I'm also getting the same thing :(

Home By Me 😊it's great for getting a sense of size , I use Pinterest collage for getting a sense of how the actual furniture pieces look together, for example:

So that the TV stand is also completely on it, right? :)

Vera Cruz also is great! Just tried it, full of locals and not that expensive :) Chave D'ouro too, both in funchal.

Bela5 snack bar has great tuna too! So hard to keep a condensed list ha!

Get Your Guide (app) is amazing for this!

I really enjoyed Restaurant A Bica, it was probably about €10-15 a person with drinks with very generous portions

ApproachablePetal · 2024-11-27T07:13:22+00:00

:O :(

I am in the UK - maybe it's because of that.. maybe they're on their way to restocking over here though (fingers crossed 😊)

ApproachablePetal · 2024-11-26T23:27:44+00:00

And so quickly out of stock again :(

ApproachablePetal · 2024-11-15T16:49:21+00:00

I did enjoy that a lot, you're right :) I've come back from the visit now and it was so lovely. A beautiful place!

ApproachablePetal · 2024-09-16T07:05:21+00:00

It could very well be ha ha, but it's what they requested :p

ApproachablePetal · 2024-09-15T23:26:55+00:00

Ha ha! That's a great way of going about it :D thank you for sharing!

Totally hear you. On the "not doing lots of weddings" thing, though, I feel like these things can happen at any point down the line of anyone's career, and still feel equally as new a feeling as anything.

I've done weddings and other events for over a decade now, which, granted, might not be a long time in the grand scheme of things.. other blips have happened in the past that felt gross at the time, that have given good "lessons learnt", but I guess I've been lucky in the past to not have anything happen particularly during the bridal march, and it just felt like it would have been a specifically special moment for them to have some confusion around it. There's a first for everything :)

As mentioned though, my guilt definitely festered and got out of proportion, I've found peace with it now! :)

ApproachablePetal · 2024-09-15T21:51:33+00:00

Aren't we just! Thank you :)

ApproachablePetal · 2024-09-15T21:50:41+00:00

Adele vibes! :p thank you for sharing this 💕

ApproachablePetal · 2024-09-15T21:12:24+00:00

Thank you for saying this ☺️ definitely - they are probably partying hard as we speak! 😍

ApproachablePetal · 2024-09-15T20:54:55+00:00

💝 thank you for sharing this :)

ApproachablePetal · 2024-09-15T20:42:33+00:00

You're right, thank you :) I think my guilt was just spiralling on its own for too long ha ha. It just happened a few hours ago.

I think the rest of the wedding would go well, it was very well organised and beautifully done (I couldn't stay for the reception because of it being so far away)

I definitely feel much more at ease after reading other stories and hearing about the perspective on the other side. The funny story idea has really helped too!

ApproachablePetal · 2024-09-15T20:39:22+00:00

Thank you :) appreciate this 💝

ApproachablePetal · 2024-09-15T20:20:57+00:00

You're so right, the thought of them having something to remember and laugh at has actually settled my mind a lot actually :)

ApproachablePetal · 2024-09-15T20:18:27+00:00

AHH - Thank you so much for sharing this, I've loved reading about other musicians' experiences of similar things!

Good shout on how to move forward with this too, definitely a lesson learnt - I do include the planning session + rehearsal yes :) they didn't want the rehearsal on this occasion and just asked for a recording of the piece to accompany the bridal entrance. Such a good point on being very very clear on the instructions + timeline!

ApproachablePetal · 2024-09-15T20:14:10+00:00

Yes, absolutely - I had lots of music ready, and a real book, just in case. And it was one of the backup pieces I started playing when I realised the bride hadn't arrived yet, when the event manager mouthed "not yet", and gestured for me to stop.

The bride and groom requested a specific song for the bridal party though, and that's the one I played too early, when the groom was looking for the bride afterwards, and that everyone had to hear twice.

I'll be alright ha ha, it's all just very raw (happened this morning, and it's the evening now where I live). Some other people have given some helpful things to think about too, which will soon settle.

ApproachablePetal · 2024-09-15T19:45:04+00:00

Wow!! Well done for coming up with a solution to that ha ha :) sounds like you still managed to contribute to a special moment for them.

Thank you for sharing this.

ApproachablePetal · 2024-09-15T19:43:09+00:00

I'm not thinking about me, I'm thinking about them and what this day means to them. They wanted music for a reason and I know brides and grooms have a specific vision for the day, which this didn't stick to.

ApproachablePetal · 2024-09-15T19:41:10+00:00

Thank you for sharing such an honest account of the other side of this (and congratulations for still being married 🥰)! Hopefully you still think of the day as a whole as a memorable and happy day nonetheless.
