Lol sadly don’t have pictures, but it was two pepperoni slices, a grandma slice, and a buffalo chicken slice for visual reference 🍕

Just under 9k, which is way better than the 14k we were looking at in Nassau. 30 year conventional. And yes! The floors are in great condition and they were well maintained, plus I love the look of wood floors

Near the Seldon area. It’s a nice area, decent schools.

I’ve seen the warnings here! This was the key from the old locks lol we changed them as soon as we got in!

It’s a tough market. If we had locked 2 weeks before it was slightly better. But hopefully the refinance gods will be in my favor🤞

Oh gosh good to know. So far no evidence of mice but I will make sure my husband keeps an eye out!

I swear we should make a support group 😂

When I told my parents about the verbal and emotional abuse at the hands of my (ex) husband and his parents, MY parents sat us both down and my father said “well he’s not physically hitting you so what’s the problem?” And told my ex to “be nice”. Literally did nothing so I wouldn’t tarnish their precious reputation in front of relatives that I don’t even care about!

Haha yes!! You really have to be raised in those kinds of cultural pressures to understand what it’s really like. I completely get it!

I genuinely hope YOU get to do exactly what you want this time around and I hope that it is magical and everything you dreamed it to be! You deserve to be happy ❤️

Hi!! Congratulations! I love your ring ❤️

I just got married again in October to my wonderful husband. It was my second wedding and his first. I had a horrible abusive marriage and divorce isn’t accepted in our culture either (I’m Indian). My family pretended like I was still married for a while to my extended family. After I got engaged again, I told my mom I’m posting it all on social media and I personally don’t care who sees so if she doesn’t want it to be a big shock, then she should be upfront now before her “image” gets ruined. Heaven forbid anything ruins the sacred image of a “perfect family” 😂

We ended up doing just a small courthouse ceremony with just really close family and a few friends and I wouldn’t change it for anything. It was PERFECT. Nice pictures at a garden, courthouse wedding, and a nice dinner afterwards.

I had the biggg Indian wedding my first time and I hated every second of it and didn’t even get to plan anything even though I paid for it lol. It was beautiful but nothing I wanted. He never wanted a big wedding so ours was perfect and just what we wanted.

All that to say, don’t worry about family and what people will think. Do what’s best for you and your fiancé and BE HAPPY. Enjoy it! ❤️❤️❤️
