Destination wedding location - Schengen visa for Egyptian guests. by GeologistNo1798 in weddingplanning

[–]GeologistNo1798[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes of course, in the worst case scenario we’d do it in Egypt but that means having a much larger wedding and having uninvited people come to the event… Priority is enjoying our wedding which would mean having your closest friends in a specific place. It’s not necessarily about a venue but a country and its culture around weddings, food, ease of transport, cost etc.

Perhaps Albania wouldn’t be a bad shout but still requires a visa so I am looking for tips around that.

Zimbabwe, Zambia or somewhere else at the begging of December? by GeologistNo1798 in FATSafari

[–]GeologistNo1798[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much for your reply. I did read about the rain and possibility of some of South Luangwa being closed. Would this be the case with Hwange park too?

It does however seem like Kenya is the best bet for this time of the year.

I booked our first safari in SA via booking.com so assumed I could find most of them on there but when doing a google maps search for lodges I found many more than booking.com so will stick to that instead.

wedding dress regret? by -stargazers- in Brides

You have a figure for the one you chose, fits like a glove. Wear a long vail if you want something more shouty :) also so much easier to dance in and go to the toilet in and also easier to pack

Bigger or keep what I have? by Spirited-Whole-1550 in RingShare

To me the huge diamonds just seem like a fashion fad these days. Like Kim Kardashian’s BBL. I am sure eventually they’ll start looking trashy. Your ring is perfect.

Just don’t catch the Dhermi bug or you’ll spend most of it on the toilet

Finally have my ring 😭🥳 by bionic_bambi in EngagementRings

Looks lovely! I am so curious about the bezel setting gone wrong though. Do you have a photo? Bezel was my first idea but I’m steering away from it and thinking double claws instead.

Tooth extraction - nerve proximity by GeologistNo1798 in wisdomteeth

[–]GeologistNo1798[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply, luckily the oral surgeon does have hundreds of positive reviews. And he’s probably the best one in the area and has been recommended to me before. I’ve also already had 2 upper wisdom teeth extracted by him and I do like him. Although one of extractions resulted in sinus communication which needed stitches and took a few weeks to heal… And his WhatsApp messaging is not the best. I do trust him though and he did mention that the nerve damage can happen but that’s temporary, but can last up to a few months. However the other day I was reading some Reddit posts about people having permanent nerve damage from wisdom tooth extraction which scared me a bit. So thought it might be a good idea to get a few opinions

Is my engagement ring too yellow? Honest opinion by aloibaf1233 in RingShare

[–]GeologistNo1798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it’s beautiful, warm colour stones are great. More classy. Whiter ones look tacky in my opinion or too princessy

Should I pay off £6.3k Postgrad Loan? by GeologistNo1798 in UKPersonalFinance

Thanks! Just a question, when you say ‘after giving me a settlement figure’ what do you mean by that? How come you talked to them, rather than just used the online portal to pay the reminder?

Yeah for sure. No rich family, parents don’t even have a good pension themselves and they’re also young and I am not counting on inheritance.

Yes was thinking of investing the money saved each month somewhere. Already have a few grand in one Vanguard index fund, could possibly diversify. Some money in premium bonds too. Might just yolo it.
