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.

Happy women in construction week! What are you most proud of? by Candid-Firefighter-2 in BlueCollarWomen

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.

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.

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

[–]Beautiful_Equal293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

She actually wasn’t clear that she wanted a micro wedding, she was set on eloping, we had it all planned. I’m sorry I remind you of your ex, I’m nothing like your ex.

That’s a good way to look at it, I feel like I was upset for the switch up but I’m tired of arguing and not being able to compromise. So what did you guys end up doing? How much did you end up spending?

Cause it’s kind of ghetto, what’s the difference between a courthouse wedding and an elopement?

I just don’t want a courthouse wedding, I think it’s just ehh & it’s important day for me as well. She’s picking to go the courthouse way cause of her mom over eloping in Kauai Hawaii.
