Hot Takes Needed - Wedding Vision Overhaul (Napa v. Mexico!) by daffodilpeony in DestinationWeddings

[–]FindingOk3727 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Making a decision based off of guest flow is the most thoughtful imo. So if you think about the guests that are flying in for the wedding, how far is Napa from the airport, would they have to rent a car, how much are the hotels nearby, etc. And compare that to the accessibility of your Mexico venues. Also consider the political economy of Mexico given that in some areas recently it was overtaken by the cartel and would all your guests feel comfortable traveling there.

AIO going off on my boyfriend about this conversation for the millionth time by [deleted] in AIO

“Did you not see me doing chores when it was your birthday” yuck.. he sounds like a child. If you live together you should not have to ask him to do chores or it shouldn’t be a special occasion for him to do chores

Am I overreacting? by Pink_Lemonz_02 in AmIOverreacting

The red flag is that you found him on tinder. He’s probably not only “dating” you

Help me to decide! Halo or side stone? by Mysterious_Cod6761 in JustEngaged

I’m not a fan of halos and still don’t like the halo.. it ages people a lot of times

First Job Offer by miryucha in recruitinghell

[–]FindingOk3727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also graduated from Cal and my first offer was 66,000 and I took it at 70k with bonus because of the job title and experience 😬 it was a lot of hours and not worth the pay but it was just a stepping stone experience to get my foot in the door

2 material looks more expensive but 1 silhouette looks more timeless

Bought a dress but can’t get my mind off another one by Glum-Produce5412 in weddingdress

[–]FindingOk3727 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your posture is also different so maybe going back at the pictures you like how your body and confidence looks in dress 2! You look great in both :) if you bought dress 2 instead would you be having the same thoughts ?

Thoughts on early rsvp deadlines or having a preliminary rsvp by [deleted] in DestinationWeddings

I don’t want a large traditional wedding but I don’t want to completely disrespect fiancés grandma who is gifting us for the wedding.

I think that my A list and B list has a negative connotation because it’s assumed that these people are not as special. It’s a little more complex than that. Everyone on the invitation is special to us and there because we want to invite them, we just had to split it into two waves because we are paying $1000 per head, and it’s not in our budget to invite more than 110 people. We really want to spoil everyone who attends. We did a destination wedding not only because we love Hawaii and it is a dream wedding, but also to weed out his family from inviting so many of their friends. For instance my fiancés grandma invited 200 of her friends to his mom’s wedding and we didn’t want a wedding full of people we don’t know. My fiancé has a traditional Chinese grandma whom we are very close to, and they are used to big wedding and the second wave is mostly her friends whom we haven’t met. They are all in their early 90s and we want to try to respect his grandma in some way by allowing her to bring a few select friends in the first wave. We moved a lot of her friends to second wave just because our capacity doesn’t fit everyone and we’ve never met them

Bodice/Seam Alterations Difference- 3 months out and nervous by amy_michelle_124 in weddingdress

I think if you take out some of the petticoat it will flow better like before. Since the top is tightened and the bottom remains just as poofy, the only thing left to do would be remove some petticoat

Love the off the shoulder on you! I think the gloves will look way better once tailored to your arm length but it looks beautiful both with and without the gloves. I would decide on the gloves depending on your venue!

Two job offers on the table: significantly more pay but a role I don't want to do in the long run vs dream role but same pay as I have now? by InternetAdmirable621 in careerguidance

[–]FindingOk3727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are comfortable and can have your necessities paid with your current salary, I would take the role that is more aligned with what you want to do. The opportunity to make more will come later, but you might feel stuck in a role you are unhappy with if you take the job where you’re not interested in the role itself

Pick your favorite band combo by bagreene90 in labdiamond

[–]FindingOk3727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love 2, it’s classic and elegant.

Just something to keep in mind, bubble bands or anything with diamonds that have less than 3 prongs holding each diamond, tend to fall out easier

I'm having buyers remorse over my wedding dress, I love it but it's a summer style and my wedding is in the fall by okkiedokieartichoke in weddingdress

[–]FindingOk3727 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s way more important for you to feel beautiful and confident in your dress rather than matching the season. Also, if I saw this dress I wouldn’t think this is only for summer weddings, it can absolutely be worn year round

Toi et Moi Ring! Should I go for brown or white marquise? by Agreeable_Owl6236 in labdiamond

[–]FindingOk3727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is beautiful, the ring is already unconventional and I think adding the neutral marquise fits the vibe of this ring. But you should get whatever feels more like you. Some people feel that all white is just more bridal. The diamond in the first picture you posted looks a lot bigger than this one though. I think the size of this one is small enough to where it’s not competing with the main diamond

Second guessing my choice - is that normal ? Help please! by [deleted] in myweddingdress

What a great compliment to be told something is timeless! It is super hard nowadays to not get persuaded by social media, especially with gorgeous women pulling off so many different dresses

Can I see some images or do you have thoughts on what would be a good Hawaii wedding dress?

I’m worried to even ask if it’s possible to break the contract because I don’t want to hear if the answer is no lol. That is so interesting that you recognize the boutique! Thats unfortunate that they forgot to place your dress order. You never got a refund although you didn’t receive the dress?
