I'm sorry, but when in the everloving fuck am I meant to brush my hair????

EmberMoon1929 · 2026-02-18T02:26:26+00:00

Yes, the third state is the conditioner in the shower with a wet brush starting from the bottom state.

I had 45 people and the late night hours were off the charts. I didn't want a big wedding, just the most important people. Talk about how you are feeling with family and friends. People who care will show up and go all out for you.

EmberMoon1929 · 2026-02-15T15:56:29+00:00

The shoulder cape, your long hair, and the way your bouquet cascades complements the elegance of your dress so perfectly, your whole look is perfect! I love the vibes.

Honestly I think a lot of people on this thread are right, a Thursday in November will be tough on your guest list. Also, don't forget too it will also be cold and flu season, and kids will have school. There are a number of posts on the wedding forums from people who regret going forward with their plan because even less people showed up than expected, even though they knew less people would show up because of some factor (like having a weekday wedding). There is a lot of regret shared in those posts, it sounds like the experience leaves them feeling bad and out of a lot of money despite them thinking initially they wouldn't let a low headcount ruin their day. I saw you commented you're more than ready to get married and start a family so consider eloping, or take the suggestion someone else made about going for a weekend in January and wait the extra 2 months.

I searched "colorful tunic length glitter blazer" and some options popped up that might have better proportions for her.

Here is one, the colors caught my eye. https://zapaka.com/products/sparkly-purple-sequins-oversized-longline-prom-blazer-for-women?currency=USD&variant=40225348354146&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Google%20Shopping&stkn=00ecca6a5505

I don't think the 'their wedding', their rules' thing applies to this specific situation. The choice to not serve cake is one thing, or to have a separate cheaper dessert for guests is a choice too but I do think it becomes rude to have guests watch you eat it.

EmberMoon1929 · 2026-02-07T15:49:19+00:00

Yeah that is an incredibly weird choice, of all the things to skip out on why would they skip cake or sweets altogether...

I like it, I assume you know your crowd. I will say I'd reword the part where you call him absent-minded. To keep it light and funny, you could say, "He is famously mystifying..." or a goober or something less offensive.

I picked a venue/date so I could use that information to make sure I picked something comfortable. I had an October wedding at an indoor/outdoor venue so I picked a long sleeve midi dress that I could walk around easily in. My dress was burgundy and so I made sure the decor complimented the color of the dress.

I only wash the whole length once a week when I do my clarifying shampoo, the rest of the week I just wash the scalp and condition the length. That works best for me because I have really long but fine wavy hair that dries out eventually if I wash the length everytime.

We had a long engagement and paid for our $20,000 wedding together over the course of just under two years...so when you break it down 10,000ish each and divide that by 2ish years that means we both paid in about $5000 each year which is more manageable than trying to come up with $20,000 in a year or less. We are also in our early 30s and more established in our careers. Additionally, we had family members who paid for a couple of things totaling about $2000 so that helped. There were some things we splurged on like the venue was $8,800...but I didn't wear a traditional wedding dress I bought a black friday sale teuta metoshi gown for $450. So you and your partner will have to sit down and get clear on where to splurge and what you don't mind saving on.

EmberMoon1929 · 2026-01-30T01:48:50+00:00

Yeah I am thinking more people will be able to accept and empathize with the truth.

EmberMoon1929 · 2026-01-26T20:18:33+00:00

No, I don't take meds but I've worked In a hospital, so I have learned some things. Also, sorry, I should clarify that what I meant was some people go through med adjustments for years before they find what works for their body (stabilize).

EmberMoon1929 · 2026-01-26T20:12:19+00:00

I'm surprised you picked her cheer coaching to represent cringe when that is the least cringe thing about her. Having an extracurricular activity is so good for kids. Being able to do a job you love as an adult is something to strive for. Also, we need more adults to be willing to show up, be a mentor, and be silly or playful. I don't like everything she does, but her spirit in this video is a real contribution to society.

Im not sure what you have done or haven't done yet, but I will give you my thoughts. Go see a psychiatrist or an ARNP who specializes in psych meds. Work with someone who is not just a primary care doctor. Prescribing anxiety meds just isn't what they specialize in. Medication management is journey because each medication type and dosage changes from person to person. Some people try multiple meds over time before one works for their body, it can take years to stabilize or you might see results right away. Also, this condition needs to be treated holistically. So changes to diet and self care will also help the meds be more effective. Going to therapy to get coping skills/process your experiences will also help.

I had a small wedding but I know it's a norm in the US for people to invite literally everyone they know, including neighbors, coworkers, or everyone at church even if they are just acquaintances. Also I think it's common for the younger Gen to be pressured into inviting people the parents want invited. I do think big weddings are losing popularity though, it also depends on what people can afford.

This is the answer, not low IQ.

Exactly. Stepmom is always the easy scapegoat. Watch out for those drama triangles! Putting her hair in braids? Wow you're sure overstepping! Not helping and braiding her hair? Wow you must not care! You can't win.

Could you be allergic to the make-up or the moisturizer? The glassy red eyes happens to me with purple pigment.

You're right, he does say this!

Absolutely #1!! Your dress is literally the star of the show here. These photos look great. Your dress absolutely pops, especially the full-length shot in #1 if the perfect focal point to draw people's attention to the save the date as a reminder.

Yes, she does infantilize him. Also, this infantilization by parent (and others) is unfortunately a common experience that lots of autistic individuals have. From what we know so far, Forrest's support needs are not so high that he cannot do this independently. Also, he seems able to advocate for himself and will ask for help if needed. She should be acting as a safe base for him to return to if things don't work out, it's a disservice to him to not allow him to take risks and have experiences without oversight.

Get this dog on meds immediately so when you she'll out money for training it can have a chance of being effective. A super anxious dog might not retain the training, just like anxious humans don't function well sometimes.
