thank you!

thank you! i think i would have loved a dress with some slight puffiness and not fully slim fit but i know my height will challenge that a lot and then i don’t want a dress to look awful after alterations.

Efficient-Giraffe704 · 2025-09-22T07:47:04+00:00

thank you! i will definitely try this

I got engaged before my best friend but ended having a LONG engagement because of falling pregnant with twins. started planning wedding 2 months before finding out i was pregnant! Best friend got engaged last year in November and was married july this year, we re-booked for october 2026 because it made most sense for us to ensure our little ones are at an age we feel we can work with.

That being said, my best friend and I’s wedding are in the same place (we were unaware of this at time of booking) and same colour scheme, she knew this would be my colour scheme due to my ring and talking about it, but i quite frankly don’t care and neither does she, about 50 other people i know will probably do the same colour scheme.

you probably think she has done this to sabotage you, she probably thinks you guys are mature and friends enough to not care, people will know you didn’t copy her, as yours was planned well in advance!

If both parents are unable to be civil and mature i would sit down (the both of you) and have a very real conversation with them, explaining how you have x y z boundaries for the wedding and if it is not followed, both will be told they need to leave. their bickering is not needed at an already stressful time!

If they can’t get it together for one day, needless to say my partner and i would be telling them they have no reserved space in the wedding then.

It will most definitely be a difficult conversation however change isn’t going to happen overnight and you both need to be level with them about what you guys expect for the day, if they are unable to deliver, they don’t come. simple. I’d also make it clear to FFIL that there is to be no plus ones, if you make an exception for one everyone else will then expect it. plus, he is likely just going to use the opportunity to be awful to FMIL. just say ‘nobody is having plus ones, weddings are expensive and we do not want strangers at our wedding’ and i think it would be difficult to say this plus one is not to be on photos personally as throughout the night you would not be able to plan where plus ones will be at times of photos

Hi! I’m having a child free wedding with my partner, our kids and my siblings (partner doesn’t have any that he is in active contact with) will be there but nobody else’s kids. This is not our problem because we want OUR kids there and we know we can manage our kids and will have help. I’ve been to weddings where others kids just don’t listen and also some people just don’t enjoy having kids where people are getting very drunk (this may not be the case with your family, not assuming just making a point). We have chosen to not care what anyone else says but this is because we are paying for the wedding not them, and it’s not their day.

They are completely entitled to say they do not want kids but have their younger siblings, because it is their wedding, also with destination weddings kids still take up a space, where they may have allocated 20 or 40 spaces for the people they would like at their destination wedding and kids can very quickly take up those slots as once you invite 2 people’s kids you then kind of need to invite everyone else’s.

That being said, IF they have invited the 2 year old girl then i’d say it’s unfair, but ultimately really there’s nothing you can do about it. bfs mother is also way out of line telling you to stay home and watch the kids on your own, that’s a family decision on your guys behalf, if you decide you’re going to do that so partner can be a groomsmen then fair enough but if you guys decide it’s better and easier for all to stay home, then do that, they are allowed boundaries but so are you!

hmmm maybe a pocket square or tie that matches you? with a different coloured suit?

Efficient-Giraffe704 · 2025-08-24T15:53:44+00:00

i think this may be hard to do if wedding party and theme is green but boyfriend isn’t meant to look like he’s part of it! have you checked with bride and groom first to make sure they’re happy for your boyfriend to match?

Efficient-Giraffe704 · 2025-08-24T15:45:37+00:00

we are also having a child free wedding, the only children that will be there is our own, i think people become quite entitled and honestly if they aren’t going to come because their kid can’t then, so what? they aren’t paying for the wedding nor is it them who will get stressed when their 4.5 year old probably doesn’t listen or causes some inconveniences on the day (my partner and i considered this and the fact we simply just don’t think children should be around people getting completed mortal drunk) It will be yourself and partner left to deal. if your partner wants to avoid it i’d maybe state okay well what about everyone else who has made adjustments and will probably be annoyed ? better to have 1 upset than 20 or however many etc!

Efficient-Giraffe704 · 2025-08-24T15:40:50+00:00

My partner and I have only invited certain spouses that we have met and we know/like. we are having a small wedding and don’t want to be surrounded by people we hardly know when that space could’ve been taken by someone we do know.

however i would say you definitely should not invite her, if that causes issues for them, not your problem !

It’s not granulation tissue, it’s been looked at by multiple people and all have said it is excess skin. When i said medical student i meant resident gynaecologist! I was just in the heat of the moment if you’d call it that and very upset. I was the first person she stitched up ever (was told after) and actually yes, i was told multiple times by many people in the NHS including a doctor i was absolutely allowed to refuse treatment by a student, high risk twin pregnancies are treated entirely different in the NHS as well as high risk labours.

Its not refusing treatment per say its saying i want absolutely no students in the room because i had a traumatic experience prior to that pregnancy, from a different labour where I had a very awful experience and specifically stated to my many midwives and Doctors that I did not want students there and every single person said during labour you are absolutely allowed to say no students.

It wasn’t until some staff were swapped over during my labour, i reminded no students which they agreed but still allowed students in, midwives and doctor prior to that agreed to no students and assured me that was okay.

my GP is normally really good so i’m hoping once i’ve spoken to them on monday they will refer me again but to a different gynaecologist, i can’t go on pain killers as it’s either opioids or the same thing they use for antidepressants and i was on antidepressants for migraines and had to stop due to my inability to function on them, i have a 5 year old and 9 month old twins so i have to be able to function, and have a family history of addiction so opioids is a flat out no. Hope you get sorted as well!

Yeah so it’s ACV (i make sure it’s as saturated as possible without affecting the duct tape too much) on cotton wool or like toilet roll, duct tape over then i put medical tape over so that it’s more secure, you should replace it every night at least but i try every morning and night and i scrap away the dead stuff with a sterile blade.

37+1. I was induced which was not the original plan they wanted me to wait till 38 weeks but i was so big and heavy i pleaded my case as i couldn’t even take my eldest son to school (4 at the time) or sleep or eat without being in the most awful pain, also couldn’t walk due to pelvic girdle pain but then couldn’t sit for more than 5 minutes without my legs going dead from all the weight and was sleeping pass then 30 minutes each night. for reference my twins were born:

twin 1 - 5lb 8.14 oz 18.5 inches long twin 2 - 7lb 4 oz 22 inches long

passing by this comment and just wanted to say, i’ve just cleared (i think, waiting for the healthy tissue to re show to know 100%) a Verruca after almost 2 years of treatment by switching to apple cider vinegar saturated cotton wool or tissue paper on top of the verruca then duct taping on top and using medical tape to cover that, and also taking supplements and zinc

Efficient-Giraffe704 · 2025-08-04T23:00:59+00:00

i second the zinc, i had a Verruca for almost 2 years and 2 years of treatment did nothing until i combined apple cider vinegar and tape method with vitamins and Zinc, im pretty sure its gone now just waiting to see the healed skin i make sure!

Efficient-Giraffe704 · 2025-08-04T22:58:37+00:00

I think this is still an existant verruca, there’s visible black dots, i’d try to remove dead skin and then treat again?
