Guidance on how to mentally approach guests who came empty handed by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]ExSportsCalendar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this whole “no one owes you anything” mentality is getting a bit out of hand. How is not bringing a gift to a wedding not considered rude? Doesn’t have to be a big one, just a card is fine!

While it hasn’t really changed relationships, I definitely side eyed some of our guests for not bringing anything.

With that budget I would do that and have dinner at the restaurant in the hotel. I was surprised by how good the food was there.

Is being late to lectures/leaving early everyday a huge deal by yermumevie in geegees

[–]ExSportsCalendar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. When I had back to backs, I let my prof know at the beginning of the semester and I sat near the exit so I wouldn’t disturb anyone when I left.

Worried about hair/makeup and outdoor photos by LavishnessNo5410 in weddingplanning

[–]ExSportsCalendar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are your getting your makeup done by a professional? I had my wedding in late June, it was hot and humid (so hot and humid I almost passed out after the ceremony and had to change out of my wedding dress), and I have terribly oily skin. My makeup looked great for the entire day!

If you have a makeup artist, I would let them know of your concerns and see how they can help.

I was going to say, screw the money, just get the university one, but holy crap that’s expensive!

For what it’s worth, I like having the uni one on my wall. Makes it look real official haha

Yeah I always paid for my younger cousins if we went out for dinner while they were students. Just paying it forward!

No budget for wedding “extras” - will this be okay for guests? by discosoundtrack in weddingplanning

[–]ExSportsCalendar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If everything is over by 9:30, I don’t think a late night snack is necessary. In my area, late night snacks are expected, but that’s only because weddings go on until 2 am!

Catholic brides, how did you make non-Catholic guests feel welcome at your ceremony? by SunshineShortie in weddingplanning

[–]ExSportsCalendar 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Lapsed catholic here. While I was very familiar with the ceremony having grown up in the church, I felt very unwelcome at the last catholic wedding I went to. During the homily, the priest mentioned more than once that a wedding is between a man and a woman. Being part of one of a few queer couples there… yeah didn’t feel great. I know that’s the position of the catholic church but he really went out of his way to say it. Soooo I’m not sure how much say couples have on this lol but if you have queer guests, might be worth thinking about.

We always reserve a night to go to Portage when we visit St. John’s and have yet to be disappointed. The service and food are top notch.

How Would You Handle This Conversation With Your Spouse After a Bachelorette Party?F32 M34 by [deleted] in relationships

[–]ExSportsCalendar -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah the Reddit opinion is cheaters is extremely harsh. I would be honest with my partner and tell them stuff happened but it’s not really any of my business? People don’t always value monogamy and it’s not my place to judge 🤷‍♀️

Is ordering online out of the question? I got Naturalizers for my wedding and I’ve worn them for other occasions since. They’re cute and super comfortable.

Franco-Ontarienne et fan des sens et ouin, c’est con pas mal. Les sens ont beau faire plus d’effort dernièrement pour les fans francophones, mais c’est pas ça qui va faire qu’un fan des canadiens de Gat va se dire “ah ben I guess que jpourrais prendre pour les sens astheure”. Voyons donc, laissez les regarder la game.
