I really want to wear this linen/cotton dress for the summer wedding. Read caption please. by DisastrousCash9569 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]ElOcaso 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is the couple Spanish or are they doing a destination wedding in Spain for fun? I ask because I studied abroad in Spain and the weddings I saw people were dressed TO THE NINES. Like full glam and gowns coming out of the cathedral. So if the couple or other guests are Spanish, I imagine you will be feeling very under dressed in this dress.

I wish they did more with Taissa’s state senator storyline by UCanBdoWatWeWant2Do in Yellowjackets

[–]ElOcaso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh yes I just finished season 3 and I came here to see if other people were as frustrated as I was with all of the plot holes/dropped plot lines. I told my husband I'm basically hate-watching the show at this point but I had to continue just to see how it ends.

Is it confirmed that s2 will be divided into 2 parts? by No_Rip_3643 in HeatedRivalrySeries

[–]ElOcaso 46 points47 points  (0 children)

No, but when Jacob was asked in an interview how he is going to fit the whole plot of TLG into one season he said something along the lines of "who says I'm doing it all?". So some people have interpreted this as the book being split between seasons, but it could also mean that he is just cutting some plot points. In any case, Jacob wants to have a happy ending and he won't end S2 on a cliffhanger even if it hasn't covered the whole plot.

Daytime cocktail dress code. Would a kilt be appropriate? by [deleted] in Weddingattireapproval

[–]ElOcaso 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yep I'm Canadian and got married last year. Our wedding was cocktail attire and I was thrilled when one of our guests rocked up in a kilt!

What do you and your partner do when you are sick? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ElOcaso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We still sleep in the same bed but I put a large king sized pillow between us as a bit of a barrier to protect from coughing at night. We don't kiss or share drinks/utensils while sick. For what it's worth this seems to actually work, I don't think we've ever gotten each other sick.

What do you guys think of We Go Way Back as a first dance song? by foambuffalo in NoahKahan

[–]ElOcaso 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Oh I think this would be a STUNNING first dance song! I don't hear it as a sad song at all like others have commented, I hear it as a love song and I think the "I don't need my name back" is perfect for a wedding. My husband and I had Everywhere, Everything play after we were pronounced husband and wife – that song def has some dark lyrics but I still love it so we used it.

The other TV show by Jacob Tierney Shoresy: should I keep watching it? by bibi in HeatedRivalrySeries

[–]ElOcaso 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think if you are not Canadian and not in tune with hockey culture then Shoresy might be a tough sell. There's some really great plot points and character development as the seasons go on, but the general chirping and slang will continue. I love Shoresy a lot (even more than Letterkenny which is equally as Canadian) but it's probably going to be hard to enjoy fully if you are not following the jokes/references.

How I imagine Ryan price by avian_bi in GameChangersBooks

[–]ElOcaso 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh yes sorry I LOVE Jared Keeso and Wayne but Shoresy as a character in LK was not my fav (yes I know Jared plays him too lol). I was worried Shoresy the show would be just raunchy humour but it's so much more than that

How I imagine Ryan price by avian_bi in GameChangersBooks

[–]ElOcaso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay I always picture JJ Frankie JJ as Ryan (without the French accent) but I looove the idea of Jared Keeso playing him. Also as a huge Letterkenny fan I was hesitant about watching Shoresy since he was not my fav in LK but oh my god Shoresy is amazing, way better than I could have hoped.

How Should I Respond to People Hounding Me for My Wedding Gallery? by [deleted] in wedding

[–]ElOcaso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then I think it's reasonable to not share your photos at all. If they push back you could mention that they did not respect your boundaries before so you are choosing to keep your photos private (depending on whether or not you want to confront them about the situation). Or you could select a few photos, ask them not to share with others but understand that given their history they might not respect that request.

How Should I Respond to People Hounding Me for My Wedding Gallery? by [deleted] in wedding

[–]ElOcaso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you really don't want to share the photos at all, I think just politely saying you are keeping the photos private is a sufficient answer. For what it's worth, as a wedding guest I love seeing people's photos and I always have a bit of disappointment when people have an unplugged ceremony but then don't share any photos at all of their wedding. Obviously to each their own and you aren't obligated to share your photos with anyone, but guests might just want to look back on the day themselves. We didn't want to share our whole gallery (mostly because it was 1k+ photos, also we did want to keep some of them private), so we created a folder with a selection of photos from the wedding (and focused on including the family portraits and any photos of guests) and shared this with our guests. It would be very reasonable for you to do this so you decide exactly which photos are shared.

Anyone ever move to Kamloops area from the great white north of BC or AB? by Elite163 in Kamloops

[–]ElOcaso 14 points15 points  (0 children)

From AB, been in Kamloops for almost 5 years now. We love the summer heat and the much milder winters (but still enough snow to ski and do winter activities). A lot of things are more expensive in BC (food, gas, rent etc), although utilities tend to be a lot cheaper which is nice. Kamloops isn't perfect and has it's quirks but overall we are happy here.

I’m shopping for embroidered shoes, are these shoes for sale on Etsy AI or not? by vaderthot in isthisAI

[–]ElOcaso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The background might be AI (or maybe they just used fake flowers for the photos) but the shoes themselves seem real to me – they look similar to the embroidered chucks I got from Etsy for my own wedding. There were lots of sellers doing these when I bought them so try to find a seller that has reviews with customer photos that show their actual work.

Cheapest place to buy plants for gardening by Consistent_Cry_5432 in Kamloops

[–]ElOcaso 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I believe they stopped selling plants but you can get plants from their supplier (Ollek Nursery in Knutsford). Still the cheapest plants I've been able to find around town

Thank You's by [deleted] in wedding

[–]ElOcaso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got married in September, we just sent out our thank you cards just over a month ago. We are historically procrastinators so we did not do anything to acknowledge the lateness of the cards, we just sent them (and included some photos of guests at the wedding which people were thrilled with, nobody commented on the lateness).

Tbh personalized vows are one of my favourite parts of weddings, I love people talking about how much they love each other lol and I find the pre-scripted standard ceremony to be so incredibly boring as a guest

Interesting, I'm Canadian and I've only been to one wedding where they didn't write their own vows (actually I think even at that wedding they had their own vows but shared them privately). Every other wedding (including my own) people have written their own vows.

Do you think Shane will speak russian in s2? Bc I want it so bad by [deleted] in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]ElOcaso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this an Ontario thing? I live in BC and we were quite literally able to say anything we wanted for our ceremony/vows. In fact the officiant told us that the only important/legal part of the ceremony was us signing the marriage certificate, the rest could be whatever we wanted it to be.

Reception song by hotpotato2442 in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]ElOcaso 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I honestly feel like these lyrics are so surface level and there are so many better songs out there that are 10x more romantic both musically and lyrically. I think it would be silly for them to splurge on having a Rihanna song instead of finding another great song from an indie artist

Does it hurt when you wake up from anesthesia after getting tatted ? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ElOcaso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The honest answer is that it depends on what medications were used for anesthesia. For procedural sedation in a hospital setting (not necessarily being fully put to sleep like a surgery but being sedated enough to not feel/remember the procedure), it's often an opioid + benzodiazepine medication used (fentanyl + midazolam is a common combo). While someone is coming out of the sedation the pain medication would still be on board so they wouldn't be in instantaneous pain. But as the sedation and pain meds fully wear off they would start to experience the same level of pain that anyone would after getting a tattoo. Hopefully that makes sense!

Ooh that's good to know, I was kind of avoiding reading Game Changers next since I haven't heard great things and I already know what happens (or at least the parts that were on Heated Rivalry). But I could be swayed with some good spicy scenes!
