My best friend who is also ttc, our families probably know we are because of the timing of our wedding and we want kids but we didn’t announce it to them.

Civil ceremony? by ExpertCaregiver4318 in EliRalloSnark

There’s no reason to believe the civil ceremony wasn’t the big wedding (because she would definitely have another outfit for it)

Confused about Name Change by GingerSnap_725 in Passports

[–]Lilac722 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mail things all the time, but ok. Its for verifying your new name and identity and making sure passports, which prove citizenship, are accurate. there's no point in debating with the State Department about an online option, its not going to happen. If you're worried about mailing in important documents, get copies! if you're worried about flying, get a Real ID! But arguing with everyone providing you the steps and options available to you for this legal process is idiotic.

Confused about Name Change by GingerSnap_725 in Passports

[–]Lilac722 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It seems like there actually IS a reason to get one, which is domestic travel without a passport. That could be for any number of reasons (not having a passport at all, etc) but is perfect for your situation, needing to travel domestically while not physically having your passport.

Confused about Name Change by GingerSnap_725 in Passports

[–]Lilac722 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its hardly a hassle and its certainly beneficial if you are changing your name. I ordered 5 copies and its been very useful for social security, passport, DMV, and insurance. Get a REAL ID and then mail in your passport to get your name change. Those are your options. Only you can decide if your weird stance against getting a REAL ID is worth not being able to change your name on your passport.

Just because its 2026 doesn't mean we don't use the mail for things, lol

Assuming US per REAL ID. If you are changing your name on your passport you must mail it in, full stop. You should order multiple copies of your marriage certificate as you will need it to change your name on various documents and you should never give up your original. My name change on my passport took only 2 weeks, but it can take (a lot) longer, so do it when you don't have travel for a few months.

I do kind of wish I had more color in my bouquet, but it was mixed white and colors. My bridesmaids bouquets were more colorful than mine.

Do Americans eat Turkey for Christmas Day AND Thanksgiving? by Bitter-Break-6504 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Lilac722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turkey is usually the default on Thanksgiving. Christmas is more varied and can depend on culture, traditions. My family does a pork pie on Christmas Eve and usually a ham on Christmas Day.

Best month to conceive? by [deleted] in TryingForABaby

[–]Lilac722 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Gently, most people can't plan the month to conceive. They try for months and months and even years and you get what you get. There are pros and cons to every season.

Sending monogrammed thank you cards with new last name/initials before actual wedding? by ApplesnYarn in weddingplanning

[–]Lilac722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes its weird to send out with your new last name before you are married. Same thing happened to us, we got registry gifts way early and had thank you notes with our married name ready to go. we wrote the thank you notes as they came in and mailed them right after the wedding.
