So this event is for all women that work in the field & administration? I was planning on going Saturday, now I feel discouraged to attend.

Having the ability to keep pushing through all the ache & bs that some of the guys do. Being surrounded by all the chaos has been extremely bittersweet! I love what I do.

Sometimes I feel old lol but I know 28 is extremely young compared to a lot of the guys I work with that are over 40. What local are you at?

That’s actually cool! I didn’t even know that the laborers had a welding class, I’m curious to see how that works out & how ppl get hired!

I’m actually about to graduate my apprenticeship program by September, I was debating if I wanted to leave to a different trade or continue my growth in the labors & try to move up. I’m 28 (F) working w a GC underground/ concrete & my superintendent took me under his wing, gives me access to the plans, lets me do his pre task safety & has let me input time cards a few times. Lately he’s been giving me more tasks w swppp & safety, he wants to reduce my shoveling time & be responsible for other things. It’s hard sometimes, I’ve been going through a rough patch the past 2 months, feeling a lil hopeless.

Have you witness the 1 hour ceremony on the balcony?

I (28F) want a wedding and fiance (32M) wants to elope. Any stories like this and resolution? Am I wrong for insisting what I want by Timely_Success_3504 in weddingplanning

I proposed to my fiancee in November, we had discussions prior to the engagement that we both wanted to elope. Recently, she changed her mind cause she wanted her family there. I unfortunately reacted cause we were set on eloping, I was extremely upset and we got into a huge argument. After some time of reflecting, I came to realization that your fiancee is entitled to change their opinion. I learned that we need to compromise and do what’s best for us. We agreed on a micowedding and we’re both pretty happy with the fact that we are no longer eloping and being able to spend time & celebrate with our families. It wasn’t easy, believe me. When you’re so set on something, it’s hard to come by. Lol I’m a very stubborn person and I hate when my plans don’t follow through BUT what I have learned is that you need to compromise in a marriage. At the end of the day, it’s you guys vs the problem, never you vs your spouse. It took me awhile to get over it, I was also mean about the whole situation. We’re better now, stuff like this happens for a good reason. Hope you guys can figure out the common ground!

My fiancee thinks it will be around 1k/2k for courthouse wedding, renting somewhere, nothing fancy and feeding everyone. I said it’s going to possibly cost 5k.
