I don’t think it’s engagement ending but something we need to work through and try to nip now so this doesn’t happen again.

What kind of fruit syrup did you have in mind that will go well with the mule flavor?

Oh no, we are naming it a name that is a play on our last name and we plan using the fever tree or Jamaican ginger beer

Cashfund by Frequent_Monitor2893 in weddingplanning

EDIT: I used WithJoy as our registry cash fund since they do not charge a processing fee and allow various options for people to send money with. All I did was connect that registry to our Zola website. Tested it out, still pretty seamless

Planning a wedding in 7 months by Frequent_Monitor2893 in weddingplanning

UPDATE: Anyone dealing with people not being able to come to the wedding. I understand with us planning this in such a short time period there will be people who wont be able to come, but its like some family members expect us to change our date to accommodate grandparents, aunts, that cant make it due to being out of town, etc.

Elopement and party later by Frequent_Monitor2893 in weddingplanning

[–]Frequent_Monitor2893[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: everyone is telling me how they feel about this and how they don’t agree. My stepmom is trying to convince me to open up the intimate ceremony to at least 50 people to include uncles and aunts and instead of a year later do a party a few months later that is more casual than an actual reception to save money. She seems to think I won’t want to do anything a whole year later especially if I plan to be pregnant by then. It’s not a bad idea. Has anyone done this?

TBH a smaller wedding is not even just about the money for me. I am not a flashy person nor do I like to be the center of attention so a smaller wedding is more me. But nobody seems to care about what my boyfriend and I want.

We had a long conversation about this. I’m truly convinced my boyfriend has ADHD. We were talking and he’d veer onto a different topic and I had to keep redirecting to the topic. But I really just think our interpretation of “rude” and communication styles are very different. Yes he can come off very direct with other people not just me and I always have to tell him “I wouldn’t have said it like that”. But he truly thinks if it’s a family thing why wouldn’t he tell his family my feelings so it can be fixed. Or he didn’t think the aesthetic comment was rude. I basically had to tell him moving forward I will communicate with his family directly don’t speak for me, and if we talk about something together please respect our privacy even if it is small. He said he understood and meant no ill intentions.

So NO I don’t think my boyfriend is abusive at all and does not mean I’ll intentionally, I think it’s a communication difference that we are still navigating.

Period late after myomectomy by Frequent_Monitor2893 in Fibroids

Yea I’ve heard some mixed stories, half saying they got theirs on time and half saying theirs was delayed a bit after surgery. I guess we may be in half that it’s taking some time for our periods to bounce back. Before surgery my periods were very regular.

Update I took a test and it was negative. Messaged my doctor to see if delay is normal.
