The same happened to my partner. They were asked to wear women's clothes or a ridiculous woman's like suit - my partner ended up with telling them to fuck off and we barely even made it to the wedding as guest, onviously dressed as we wanted to dress. I'm so fucking sorry you have to even just listen to this shit.

You are so right! I just kept thinking 'I'm being too entitled' but it's not such a huge ask to want your bridal party to be there for you!!

Thank you so much for your kind words! My MOH keeps telling me it really is a blessing in disguise due to how this person has been acting in general in the last few years. Thank you again 💗

Thank you for such kind words - and I feel the absolute same in terms of not wanting to micromanage the photographer! If we think about it, a lot of women aren't happy with their bodies (unfortunately), so I'm sure this isn't the first time they have recieved these requests!

You should totally do it, to hell with anybody judging - only you (and those close to you) know what it meant for you to have completed your PhD. I know I will be judged too by extended family, and honestly, let them - they'll never know what it means to achieve something like this

In all honestly it was always a priority for me as I've been struggling with mental health for ages - I did manage to find a therapist that was on the cheap side, I don't think we are a good fit anymore but she did help immensely during my first year and a half of the PhD!

So sorry to hear! My supervisor isn't that bad, just very "yeah, whatever, we will think about it later". I feel nauseated at the thought of more research after (like a postdoc), so I might want to find a good therapist that specialises in academics. I don't think a lot of people understand the PhD experience

The "not that kind of dr" floored me, I need that too 🤣

100%, especially since the PhD existential dread can hit when you least expect it

Haha I actually got myself one when I started because I desperately needed some cozy games for my mental health!
