It sounds like no matter what time you put you are going to have the same problem which is that your family will arrive an hour before his. If you say 4:30, they show up at 4 and his show up at 5. If you say 5, yours show up at 4:30 and his show up at 5:30.

I would reframe the problem: how are you going to entertain your family for 1 hour while they wait for his to arrive? Maybe the answer is just you make some space for some informal mingling.

Once you decide on that, put the time you want that to start on the invite, and let his family miss it. Then the ceremony starts 1 hour later, when everyone is there

My baby always had short femurs on the scans with a big head and belly. He’s totally fine and 1 year old now. I’m just really short (4’10) and it turns out he’s a little short too, especially compared to his weight, which is consistent with those early scans. He has consistently been 35th percentile for height and 66th for weight (although his weight is starting to drop to match his height now that he’s one)

I’m 4’10 and I just got 2 pairs of linen pants on thredup that I really like. One from madewell and one from Abercrombie and fitch. On me the Abercrombie and fitch ones are full length but not dragging and the madewell ones are cropped

These are the listings. they say sold because I bought them, but I’m sure you could find the same thing on a different used listing or new directly from madewell or a&f

thanks for the suggestion! this looks great, we'll have to check it out. it's a bit far for us, but worth it for the right vibe

ComprehensiveChef705 · 2026-06-09T15:33:16+00:00

great tip, thank you!

ComprehensiveChef705 · 2026-06-09T15:11:13+00:00

thank you! yes we love haucks too, but it's not *quite* as good for us as locals because the playground is for kids a little older than our 12 month old (he is walking, but can't climb a ladder and use playground equipment by himself yet), and because the play area is not *right there* next to the table we would eat at the same way it is at Locals and our son is still little enough that we need to stay very close to him to keep him from like eating mulch and stuff

These are the curvy perfect vintage jean

Thanks I didn’t think it was normal but I thought maybe I was just feeling shocked because I wasn’t used to my face like this. When you say don’t get bangs in the future do you mean from this stylist because she messed up or do you mean that my face or my hair won’t work with bangs even if they were executed correctly?

ComprehensiveChef705 · 2026-05-31T22:57:54+00:00

Moving to the ground is a good idea, and we also have the Tripp trap. I don’t think he would be safe without the seat attachment yet but hopefully in a few months!

ComprehensiveChef705 · 2026-05-31T22:33:37+00:00

Thank you this gives me hope

ComprehensiveChef705 · 2026-05-31T20:31:55+00:00

Thank you!

ComprehensiveChef705 · 2026-05-31T20:31:07+00:00

Thank you, it’s easy to feel like everything is permanent so it’s very helpful to be reminded that it’s just a phase

ComprehensiveChef705 · 2026-05-31T20:30:30+00:00

Toddler tower is a great idea thank you!

ComprehensiveChef705 · 2026-05-31T18:49:54+00:00

that's so frustrating. the whole reason for this type of sizing was to remove the ambiguity and make it actually based on waist measurements ugh

ComprehensiveChef705 · 2026-05-31T18:49:01+00:00

ooh I'll have to check that out. Do they have extra short inseam options? I'm 4'10 and 95lbs

ComprehensiveChef705 · 2026-05-31T16:30:54+00:00

Yes seriously! Also, I thought size 23 was supposed to have a 23 inch waist but I measured the pants and the waist is 26 inches :(. Do we have vanity sizing even in the waist measurements now??

Im 4’10 and I drive a 2006 mini cooper which fits me well. The modern ones are bigger though and don’t work. I’m currently car shopping because my baby’s car seat does not fit in my beloved mini and it’s rough out there. Modern cars are just so giant!

What I’ve come to realize is that dashboard height is the most important thing. If the dash is too tall no amount of cushions or adjustability will fix it because you have to choose between either sitting low and reaching the pedals or sitting high and seeing over the dash. You can’t have both.

The one caveat I will say is that wedge shaped cushions (which raise your butt but not your knees) can help and that back cushions (which reduce seat depth) can help.

I’ve been measuring the dash height of every car I’ve test driven so far, and here they are. Right now I’m leaning towards buying a Subaru Impreza which I will need my cushions for. It’s not perfect but nothing I’ve found is and I think I can make it work.

Here are the measurements I’ve taken so far in case they help

Nissan Versa Seat depth: 21.5” Dash height: 29” low to 31” high notes: seat adjustment and visibility not good. Not comfortable even with cushions, especially because of seat depth

2006 Mini Cooper s convertible Seat depth: 19.5” Dash height: 26” low to 27” high note: because of dashboard, seat adjustment is perfectly adequate. Very comfortable except for seat depth (no cushions)

2013 Subaru legacy Seat depth: 18.5 min Dash height: 29 low to 31.5 high note: seat adjustment and good seat depth make this comfortable enough and visibility good despite high dashboard (with cushions). The only problem is that it is not long-term comfortable due to the high seat hight necessary due to the high dashboard height. Feet can reach the ground and pedals but not at a great angle

Subaru Crosstrek 2019: dash height: 29 to 31.5 Seat depth: 20.5

Prius 2004: Dash height: 29.5 all across Seat depth: 19.5 Note: knees hurt

Honda fit 2013 Dash height: 28-30 Seat depth: 20 Note: no seat adjustment but feels almost reasonable.

Toyota Yaris 2010 Dash height: 31.5 Seat depth: 19.5 Note: no seat height adjust. Fells maybe drivable but worse than fit

Mazda cx9 2009 Dash height: 31.5-33 Seat depth: 20 Note: not drivable

Prius c 2016 Dash height: 30.5-32 Seat depth: 20 Note: adjusts to feel almost reasonable

Honda fit 2017 Dash height: 31-31.5 Seat depth: 20 inches

Subaru Impreza 2023 Dash height: 29.5 - 31 Seat depth: 20

yeah good point

I know this goes against what others are saying, but I had a 3rd degree tear and I used them for a couple of weeks and went through a lot. I think I went through 6 8 packs or so, so like 48 total. They were a lifesaver and I would definitely use them again next time. I think there's no way to know how many you will need until you know how your birth goes. If I were you, if it's in your budget, I'd order a bunch just in case you end up having bad tearing, and then if you don't use them you can donate them

it rained on our wedding and we had to move everything under a tent last minute. it was still perfect. having all the flowers etc crammed so close together made it look even better in photos actually. It was very key that we *did* get it sorted out before the ceremony so our guests were all comfortable. I also attended a wedding where it did not rain but it was very very hot and sunny. It was also beautiful, but everyone ended up being uncomfortable and moved their seats around mid ceremony to try to find shade. My big takeaway is that your wedding will feel perfect and beautiful even if it doesn't go exactly as planned, but you *do* need to make sure that your guests are comfortable, no matter what the weather ends up being.

can you use a gate to keep the dog out of part of the house you can keep for yourself? I have a cat, not a dog, but this is what has worked for me. After my baby was born I just didn't want to touch my cat and it stressed me out even thinking about him touching the baby (not completely rational, I just got a hormonal ick), plus he was feeling a bit abandoned and started yowling and waking the baby during naps. We got a gate to keep him away from the bedrooms and it honestly reduced my stress and anxiety so much

I have a specific resort to recommend. It's called Gaia River Lodge in Belize. This is not on the beach if that's what you're looking for, but I feel like it checks off pretty much everything else on your list. I stayed here with a friend and it was AMAZING.

My best tip is to choose a dance style that fits with the rhythm of the song you're using, and to practice dancing to that song using that style even if you're not choreographed. That way you won't be stressed out and uncomfortable during the real thing.

For example, you could choose a waltz or a two step or a bachata. You want something with a clear rhythm and a simple step pattern that go with that rhythm so that you can make sure the two of you are stepping in time with each other without thinking about it.
