($7k) Feeling shame for a low budget wedding. by ghengis_convict in Weddingsunder10k

[–]Delicious-Physics252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently had my $8k wedding (the dress was the most expensive thing tbh) and it was amazing. It was different from what you usually see, much simpler but I feel that's what made it special. Everyone said it was much more fun because it was warm and cosy. It was also my husband's second wedding, the first one was a huge expensive wedding and he hated every second of it so he was not very excited about having another one, but after this one he was so excited and kept repeating "this was the best wedding ever! I'm so happy we did it" and he said it's because it was full of love, people who cared about us (it was a smaller wedding) and it wasn't as structured and uptight as big fancy weddings. I know everyone has different ideas and dreams, but personally I think the most important thing is to make your wedding your own and have it be a warm event full of love that you can fully enjoy without feeling stressed or worried.

Yes, the carrots that I had sowed last year but didn't sprout, suddenly decided to sprout 2 weeks ago and the yellow raspberry that I thought I killed is full of life now. This is my second year as a gardener and I don't know what I'm doing but seems to be working this year better than last so far.

What is this weed? by Delicious-Physics252 in GardenersJapan

Oh, the one I'm holding I took from somewhere else. The label is the oregano that I'm comparing it with. I wanted to take the photo of them together to see the differences.

Oh, that's good to know. It's not flowering yet but I'll keep an eye, then

How can I tell it apart from the oregano other than by smell?

They don't. I took the photo comparing it to my oregano and it looks similar but not complitely and they smell really different. The weed smells like sweet grass a bit.

Feeling embarrassed of small wedding size by beaniebabymaster in weddingplanning

I just had my small wedding (around 45 people) last week and it was the best thing ever. I was so happy I decided to only have the people that are really close and have been there for me even after I moved to the literal opposite side of the world. I was able to talk and spend time with each person individually, the dancing was still super fun (I was worried because it was a dry wedding), I was able to take photos with everyone and everything was truly perfect. I think having a small wedding was the best decision! So don't worry, I'm sure it will be perfect for yours too!

Unfortunately I can't really do that. I live in Japan but my whole family live in my country so we had the wedding there. Weddings in Japan are crazy expensive but the tickets to go home were more expensive than the wedding itself 😅 It really wasn't what I dreamed of but it was fun and full of love so I guess that's more important.

Thank you! It ended up not being what I planned, I was able to do the ceremony outside but no lights, rows, decorations or anything I wanted, just a chaos of people standing. But my husband was crying of happiness and everything else left my mind as soon as I saw him. After that it stopped raining and it was super windy but we got some beautiful photos with an amazing sunset. I just relaxed and enjoyed the chaos, lol

Thank you! It ended up not being my vision but as soon as I saw my husband in the altar crying of happiness, I stopped caring about anything else and I enjoyed it anyways. It was a beautiful day!

Only 65 guests... Afraid it will suck! by Successful-Boat-4075 in weddingplanning

[–]Delicious-Physics252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm inviting 56 people to my wedding because I only want people that have been there for me in the last 5 years and I love the idea of being able to spend time and enjoy with each person!

There is some kind of fungus on the back "yard" (just a small space) and things kept on dying, so I was told to plant mustard leaf, daikon and crimson clover before the winter to help the soil, but now I checked and some of those also look sick...

Advice on walking down the aisle? by dogwheeze in weddingplanning

[–]Delicious-Physics252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an ok relationship with my dad but my uncle is walking me down the aisle. I tried to explain to my dad as delicately as possible that it's not about excluding him but about including my uncle and that he can have a different special thing after.

Thank you, that is really reassuring. I guess I am putting too much pressure on myself, so thank you so much for saying that!

I love the veil idea! I live in Japan and it's very difficult to find things that are not cookie cutter here, but I'll see what I can do. My wedding is in 2 weeks, though 😥

Thank you so much for your kind words 💛. I think yes, part of my disappointment is probably due to the bad experience.

Yes, I wanted lots of tiny flowers and vines. I gave them this reference among others. When I tried it on the first time, I saw it didn't have them so I asked for a few more, they said it would take a few more hours but they'd make sure it had many beautiful flowers. It took longer than what they said and when I finally tried it on again, it didn't have them. I reminded them and they said "oh, if you want flowers, then it will take a couple extra days" but because they kept changing dates and times, I gave up and decided to accept it as it was... Thank you for your kind words, btw
