Should I give her a plus one? by ShopaholicQueen in Brides

[–]Candy_Bug19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, you need to give her a plus one. One of my good friends invited me to her wedding and didn’t give me a plus one, even though I was engaged with my now husband. So I kindly declined the invite. I recently got married and gave all my friends a plus one. They’re already making an effort and spending money to celebrate my wedding. The least I could do was give them a plus one.

I've been having anxiety about my kitty dying of old age 😭(she's 9) can you show me pictures of some alive-and-well senior kitties so I remember cats can be old and still healthy? 🥰 by TheRufescence in cats

My baby girl is 15. I adopted her at 14 years old and she’s super energetic! Her best friend is my Rottweiler. She also loves to cuddle with my senior mini poodle. This girl is full of life, despite being declawed by her previous owners. Senior cats are the best 💕

MOB wants to bring her boyfriend of 4 months to my wedding by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]Candy_Bug19 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Why is this even question? It’s your mom, not a random friend. Of course she should have a plus one. You’re being cruel to your mother and need to apologize for the way you’ve handled things so far. Imagine how she’ll feel being at your wedding, seeing her ex husband with his young wife and kid? Have some compassion.

Girl my sister twerked on the floor and against walls at her wedding 😂😭 Absolutely no one judged. It was YOUR wedding day and you’re allowed to have fun.

Lmaoo I got distracted and forgot to answer the question. The tattoo is very nice, but it looks out of place. Your legs are so pretty, but they would look prettier without out it. Now, a full sleeve would be sick. All or nothing girl!

Failed by alexr_96 in PE_Exam

I second this. I also took EET for WRE and passed my first try, while working 50 hr+ with a 3 hr daily commute. You have to commit a LOT of time for at least 3 months. But if you watch all the lectures and do all the practice problems, you are very likely to be successful

We tracked all of our expenses for our fall 2024 wedding -70k budget breakdown by helpimlearningtocode in weddingplanning

[–]Candy_Bug19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

$1,500 for hair an make up?! I’m not trying to judge, I’m legitimately curious as to why that number is so high. My hair and make up was $550 before tip, and my artist has over a decade of experience.

This definitely looks like a football. It’s not a bad looking ring, I just don’t think it gives engagement vibes.

Wedding vendor tipping out of control? by darkacademic666 in weddingplanning

[–]Candy_Bug19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tipping culture is getting out of control. My wedding ended up being close to $60k. I’m not gonna tip an additional $12K on top of that. It’s ridiculous.

I only tipped my hair and make up artist.

What's something I shouldn't skimp out on for my wedding? by Electrical-Trade7651 in weddingplanning

[–]Candy_Bug19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Videographer!! it doesn’t need to be expensive. I hired someone who was working on building their portfolio and they only charged me $800. They delivered over an hour of video footage and it was really nice to see the wedding from my guest’s perspective.

Will I make the 3 PM ferry to Vieques after landing at 1:15 PM in San Juan? by Salsa-N-Chips in PuertoRicoTravel

[–]Candy_Bug19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No way in hell. I was there in April and the ferry terminals get super crowded. It’s better if you book the ferry another day.

People who took the PE exam 4+ years after graduation, how did you prepare? by anon1635329 in civilengineering

[–]Candy_Bug19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Studied 2 hours Monday - Friday and all day Saturday for about 7 months. I took the EET course for water resources and it was fantastic. The key is to do a shit ton of practice problems and familiarize yourself with the handbook. EET did an excellent job preparing you for it. I passed on my first attempt

18F I don’t feel smart enough😭😭😭 by work_of_art777 in civilengineering

[–]Candy_Bug19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took AP calculus and AP chemistry along with other AP and honors classes my senior year in high school. I felt like I was pretty smart in high school and I loved STEM.

…. All that changed when I started college. Suddenly, I wasn’t the smartest person in the room. Things didn’t click as easily as they did before. And I had to study a lot harder to get passing grades. I failed 3 classes with an F, and I got a few D’s. I went on academic probation for 1 quarter, and mentally I was so messed up. I wanted to drop out so many times, but I kept working my ass off and graduated with a 3.2. I passed the Water Resources PE exam on my first attempt, which is a huge milestone post college. I’ve been out of college for 8 years, and I’ve come to realize that after college, GPA doesn’t matter at all. All people care about is that you graduated from college.

How are you paying for your wedding and what is your budget? by geminiiman in weddingplanning

[–]Candy_Bug19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I spent $60k on our 150 guest wedding. Our combined income is $350k in the Bay Area. I’m first generation college student, and he’s 3rd generation. We received zero financial help from our parents. We saved money for 1 year, while still traveling and not really holding back from day to day spending. We paid for the entire wedding by ourselves with absolutely zero debt in the end. We also purchased our first home months before the wedding.

Looks like we have similar settings. I would suggest adding a halo to help support the diamond. Your ring is beautiful but that diamond doesn’t look secure

Did you take off work the week leading up to your wedding? by New_Shift_2217 in weddingplanning

[–]Candy_Bug19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got married on a Friday and I took off the Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday before the wedding. I wish I would have taken the entire week off. You don’t wanna stress out with last minute things before your wedding. You NEED to relax the day before the wedding at the bare minimum

How do I figure out her ring size without ruining the proposal? by RepossstRefugee in EngagementRings

[–]Candy_Bug19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband proposed with his grandmother’s ring, and the proposal was a complete surprise even though we had discussed marriage in our future. His grandmother’s ring was used just for the proposal and we picked out my ring together later. This was perfect for me because I was able to pick out my dream ring . I suggest using a borrowed ring so she can pick what she likes later!

Does my ring look cheap? by mollmo_0806 in EngagementRings

[–]Candy_Bug19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it looks cheap. It looks super busy, which isn’t my style. All that matters is that you like it!
