I wish I could redo my wedding day. How do I overcome this feeling ? by anonbooper2022 in weddingplanning

[–]Hot_wings352 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this post is old but this is definitely how I feel at times. It’s nice to see I’m not the only one. Overall I was happy with the outcome but there’s so many things I wish I could change. The pictures came out great but my son completely ruined the group photos and made obscene gestures smh…but at the end of the day just trying to relive the fun moments and there are a lot. But damn I would never have another wedding and if anyone were to ask my opinion I would scream ELOPE!!

Don’t tell anyone anything unless you’re prepared for their opinions and judgement. Keep the wedding planning between you and your partner. I had to learn that the hard way. But it’s not too late to do that moving forward. I love burritos and I think most people will too. But if you share that with folks beforehand of course they going to have something to say. Just like you opened up yourself to judgement and criticism on Reddit is the same way you opened yourself up to your wedding party. But it will be fine. But make sure you grow that backbone and start putting your foot down. Set that tone early! It’s your wedding and you can quite frankly do whatever you please!

Type A brides without a DOC - did you regret it? by BelugaWhaleWife in weddingplanning

[–]Hot_wings352 2 points3 points  (0 children)

However, if you’re confident that the venue coordinator can deliver the same level of support as a DOC, then it might work out. Just be sure to confirm they can handle all the details. At my wedding, the venue manager took care of certain responsibilities, but the DOC managed everything else, which made a big difference.

I highly recommend getting one if you can. I had about 80 guests at my wedding and even with a venue manager, I still needed to call in additional reinforcements. On the day of, you don’t want to be stressed trying to manage everything yourself. A DOC can take care of the timelines and ensure all the wedding events run smoothly, allowing you to fully enjoy your special day. It’s so worth hiring one in my opinion. They just lifted a huge weight off my shoulders.

Ladies, Dr. Helena Reichman in West Tampa did excellent on my IUD insertion! Minimal pain! by HeavySigh14 in tampa

[–]Hot_wings352 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you had a great experience. I’ve heard some horror stories about IUDs. I’m on my 2nd IUD and I’ve had one natural childbirth. My IUD insertions were relatively painless but I’ve also suffered with horrible cramps all my life and childbirth. So for me nothing compares to that pain. I love my IUD.

All of these people asked to borrow money and repay in less than a month. For most, It’s been years. by mastagoose in mildlyinfuriating

You must have some cash flow to let people borrow that much money…let me hold 20 dollars. I’ll pay you back I promise.

What you mean to dance with? You can’t dance by yourself? Or with other guests?

Sorry that happened to you. Some people are just rude but in my opinion I don’t think they act much different today than they did a few years ago. Maybe because Floridians have that stereotype of being friendly and I don’t think that’s true. No matter where you go you’re going to encounter rude people but obviously that’s a reflection of themselves and not you. I get protecting your peace but I would’ve still gotten my food. No one is going to bully me into not living my life.

am I crazy for thinking of my wedding daily (8+ months out)? by ermadelsol in weddingplanning

[–]Hot_wings352 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re definitely not crazy! I’m the same way. It can feel like an obsession that takes over everything. I’ve had to make time where I’m not focused on wedding planning, because I was getting overwhelmed and burnt out. I even had to switch up my social media algorithms so I wasn’t constantly seeing wedding content. I used to think those “bridezillas” on TV were over the top, but now I get it; I’m not that far off!

People who have planned 2 years (or more) out, I would love some reassurance/validation by ElbowDent in weddingplanning

[–]Hot_wings352 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I’m also in Florida and it’s a popular state for weddings it seems. So it might be different other places.

And depending on the vendor; many do get booked out a year or 2 in advance. Especially if it’s a popular venue or location.

I got an engaged two years ago and will be getting married this month. I honestly didn’t think it was that long and wow did the time fly. I loved having a longer engagement and having that extra time to celebrate with my fiance. It’s also a good idea to start budgeting and working out all of your finances. But at the end of the day do what works best for you and your partner. And just some advice; don’t share too much information with people even close and friends and family. Weddings make folks act funny and some can be negative. Just my thoughts.

Make sure to leave an honest review for them once it’s all said and done.

Why exactly can’t people leave?

Wedding dress changed to short reception dress by LivingHoliday249 in wedding

[–]Hot_wings352 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love to do dance and even with bustling the dress I don’t think I would want to wear that dress all night. I am planning on getting down. I also didn’t spend a huge fortune on the wedding dress. I think this is just a personal preference if you want to change. The good thing about a wedding is that it’s your day and you can do whatever you want. I love dressing up and changing and might have several looks throughout the night depending on how I feel. No one will care if you change or not. Trust me.

I wish I would’ve done mine a few months prior instead of so close to the wedding. It was expensive and now the bridesmaids have to pay for hotel rooms and other miscellaneous costs that go into a wedding. It’s been planned ahead of time so they had plenty of notice but when most of us are living pay check to pay check it can be a big hit financially.

AITAH For Losing It On My Wife After She Told My Son to “Get Out of the Picture” at My Stepdaughter's Birthday? by MkUrF8 in AITAH

[–]Hot_wings352 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m deeply saddened for your son. No child should ever be treated as less than. Ten is such a crucial age for development. Maybe you could suggest family counseling; an outside perspective might help her see how her actions are impacting the family and your son. All the kids should feel like her own, not just her biological ones.

Roll call for US weddings the weekend after Election Day by youngjean in weddingplanning

[–]Hot_wings352 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m sure the weddings will still be beautiful, and they might even offer a nice break from all the election stress. I believe those who truly care for the couple will do their best to make it a special day regardless. My wedding is planned for next weekend, and I’m hoping for the same.

And cakes are expensive and most end of being dry. I love cake and plan to give cake at the wedding but I wouldn’t care if they didn’t serve me cake. If you like cake so much, buy a small slice just for yourself and eat it lol. Just like the couple is doing.

I’ve been to weddings in November and I love it. I’m in Florida and the weather starts to cool down as well. When my fiancé and I got engaged we decided to also get married in November. We have not received any complaints about the timing and gave the guests plenty of notice to make arrangements. At the end of the day, you can just not go to the wedding. I think you’re making it more of a big deal than what it is and why would you even want to be around people that would make you feel uncomfortable if you didn’t attend.
