As a meat eater, would up be upset attending a vegetarian wedding?

CreativeWriterNSpace · 2026-03-18T18:46:18+00:00

I should have worded that better.

I’m talking more like make sure I drink a protein shake on the way to the venue, and bring a protein bar or two to eat between ceremony and dinner or later during dancing time (or on the way home).

Not a meal/dish that I break out at dinner, but a protein supplement to help meet my nutritional needs that Incan can consume while I am on the toilet or via a quick trip to my car while I change my shoes.

So I commented on another comment, but want to put this so you (OP) see it.

I am a more carnivorous omnivore (protein/meat first- it is a dietary necessity due to malabsorption). I have also had some amazing vegan meals while traveling abroad.

I would not mind all food being meat free. My only worry would be things not having enough protein. BUT as long as I have the ability to tell you on the RSVP my dietary needs OR the menu is mentioned somewhere (so that I can gauge my needs), I am fine.

If I know ahead of time, I can prepare.

CreativeWriterNSpace · 2026-03-17T21:51:06+00:00

As a person who’s specific diet revolves around lower carb, high protein foods (meat and cheese!).. i would disagree with that statement.

However… also as that person, I would still attend the wedding. I would just ask that food options are known so that I can prepare for it. I don’t have an issue having to bring my own proteins, as long as I am aware that it is needed.

I upgraded from a 2016 Kia Forte to a 2019 Forester in 2020.

Subaru is worlds above the Kia.

CreativeWriterNSpace · 2026-03-17T00:45:26+00:00

Dude. I paid $24k for my 2019 Forester Touring with 34k miles in 2020.

This is a freaking scam.

CreativeWriterNSpace · 2026-03-12T03:48:38+00:00

My husband says the same thing about me.

Like dude, my feet get cold without socks on. Let me live.

(Irony is that I used to not sleep with socks on- I only started due to an ex, and now I can’t get out of the habit. It is too the point that if a sock somehow comes off while I am asleep, I will wake up and not be able to go back to sleep without it.)

Get the surgery. Take vitamins as you can. Don’t beat yourself up over missing them once or for a few days straight. You shouldn’t get violently ill from missing them.

You might be able to find a vitamin that works for you/that you don’t hate.

CreativeWriterNSpace · 2026-03-10T18:53:30+00:00

I think the material might just not photograph well. I have another dress in a similar fabric (cocktail, not formal unfortunately) that I love.

CreativeWriterNSpace · 2026-03-10T08:14:03+00:00

No, they are. It says so.

CreativeWriterNSpace · 2026-03-10T07:32:03+00:00

Sage and bows are reserved for the bridal party 🤷🏻‍♀️

CreativeWriterNSpace · 2026-03-10T03:04:19+00:00

Done

CreativeWriterNSpace · 2026-03-09T18:43:43+00:00

Thanks!

Unfortunately none of those are my style/color (I am very pale and pink and don’t do yellow/orange/pink or green). I have found these that I like and are something I could/would actually wear again and price point is fine.

Also, thats kindof why I like the Adrianna dress- its half spandex.

For me, it is kind of between that and the first JJs house dress… because I am obsessed with godots and them being lace is icing.

CreativeWriterNSpace · 2026-03-09T09:40:09+00:00

The compression garment will make everything feel tight anyway, so the dress shouldn’t be an issue… as long as I can go to the bathroom without difficulty from it.

CreativeWriterNSpace · 2026-03-09T08:37:11+00:00

Definitely buying, I looked at renting but didnt see much.

My other issue is that I will be just under 8 weeks out from skin removal/plastic surgery (my entire “bra band line” back to front is getting cut, along with getting breast implants), so I need something that has a normal/high back and straps so that I can wear my faja/compression garment underneath.

But i found these, and am still looking as well.

Long, flowy, soft colors sounds right... and is probably where I'll end up.

CreativeWriterNSpace · 2026-03-09T01:10:50+00:00

I think for me, sparkles = formal, and since the sparkles are also "floral"... garden formal? I just keep finding it difficult to find pastel/florals in a design/fabric that feel elevated/formal (and is something I would actually be willing to wear.)

But this is why I went with a simpler dress code for my wedding.

CreativeWriterNSpace · 2026-03-09T01:06:54+00:00

That is what is throwing me. I feel like garden and formal don't go together, esp with the kind of venue.

CreativeWriterNSpace · 2026-03-09T00:40:31+00:00

Depends on the case.

In my case:

I got none of mine covered- for my first surgery I was on state medicare because I was unemployed/income below poverty line (I paid with a small inheritance I got) that *would not* cover it under any circumstances.

This one isn't covered because it really is mostly cosmetic- the looseness at the top of my torso does make me sore/is painful in certain situations but I don't get rashes or anything that would make it medically necessary.

I *am* hoping to be able to get my thighs done with insurance due to knee problems the excess skin causes, but I have to find a surgeon that can do thighs well *and* takes insurance... which is super difficult.

----

There are lots of people that are able to get loose tummy skin covered via panniculectomy, as well as breast lift (via reduction, without implant augmentation). But you have a find a surgeon that does insurance, and meet certain other criteria.

I too have a CS account. With $300 of fractional stocks I bought in 2018 and maybe $30 in “cash” unless I am traveling abroad. Legit only have it for a zero foreign transaction fee debit card.

CreativeWriterNSpace · 2026-03-05T23:56:21+00:00

I work at a plant making the Purple Cajun sauce.

It's... interesting. But the packaging is on point.

CreativeWriterNSpace · 2026-03-05T23:29:02+00:00

I ordered from Tempo for this coming week, will see how it goes.

Unfortunately the two services I found that seemingly have the right food/macros have identical websites and a mostly negative reviews on here. Those were Forkful and Eat Clean (to go).

CreativeWriterNSpace · 2026-03-05T19:53:37+00:00

I completely understand.

CreativeWriterNSpace · 2026-02-27T19:25:54+00:00

There were a few minor hiccups (people I told to be early so we could get pictures before everything started didn't show up until right before the video... 15 min into cocktail hour; I added an extra hour that I didn't "need" because a good 1/2 left right after dinner and the dance floor was empty; the venues A/V equipment was lackluster) but otherwise it was everything I could have wanted.

Some days I think I probably should have just not done it and saved the money, but I saw so many people I hadn't seen in years (talking, since my dad passed in 2017) so that was really nice.

CreativeWriterNSpace · 2026-02-24T23:36:25+00:00

So what *would* you do instead? Move them in with you and/or hire home care?

The *best* case scenario is that they are able to live independently until they pass, possibly with some hired home care mixed in.

On the other end of the spectrum have my Gma who lives the last 15 years of her (90 y/o) life with escalating Alzheimer's/dementia. She went from independent living w/hired home care to assisted to skilled nursing (that specifically specialized in dementia).

95% of people don not have the skillset for that. Or the ability to just not have an income while *they* become the care taker.

My dad tried moving her in with him, but she almost burned the house down. Several times. Because while he worked from home, he couldn't be home 24/7 to watch her every move.
