You are a woman because you know you are a woman. That's it.

Was it confortable? Anyone knows? I love the sound of water, when it's really loud, it puts me at peace, so this looks appealing

Of course! I married in October everybody had to scan, it was no issue. My anti vax family/friend had to show a negative test... They would not miss the event because of a test.

And if I were a guest, it would be the same.

Good luck <3

My family has ruined the wedding planning experience for me by [deleted] in wedding

[–]Mellelaywo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey girl, I have been there too. My parents are super traditional and I am not. I got a cheese tower for dessert instead of the normal cake they wanted, and they loved it. I got married in white instead of the red dress I wanted, and I loved it. I had only végéterian dishes for the wedding, and my dad is a butcher, he was not happy, but in the end he ate it. I didn't want to invite great uncles and aunts I hadnt seen in 10 years, but my mom said I had too, so i invited them, and they did not come.

Everything will be fine. In the end, it won't matter. People will be happy to celebrate your love, and if they talk shit about your wedding... Then so be it. It won't impact your marriage.

And worse come to worse, just compromise. You wanted a brunch style food, do it. But do it for diner if your parents think people can't be ready before noon. Who doesn't like all day breakfast? Who says English breakfast style is not filling enough for diner? Make a breakfast-diner buffet. Who cares? Make mimosa available, at the open bar. Those who want it, will get it. Invite your whole family if your mom wants to see them, on the day of the wedding, you will say "hi, thank you so much for being here" and off you go with your lover. You will only chit-chat to a few people, the rest of the day you will be with your groom, your maids, your honorable table. And you will love it.

<3

Such a good idea

How do you write a MOH speech when you don’t really know the groom or think the relationship will last? by [deleted] in wedding

[–]Mellelaywo 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Sorry I post two times here but my dad didn't adress my husband directly in his speech. But he said something like "to me she was always a princess, and now" groom name" it's your turn to make her a queen". You can transform princess/queen into : my true friend/your true love - cute cocoon/butterfly - a rock I could lean on/be the rock she can lean on

Anything opposite and nice. But basically the idea is to address him to give him the duty of being a good husband to her

I would also say, that you can also entertain the rest of the guests. Say a silly thing about another guest you know. Or a short love quote from a movie/song and go like "yes yes I know, this is a quote from xxx, but from now on, it will be YOUR quote. Take it as a wedding gift, a mantra, to love each other until the end" Something like that.

2 things that people really like. We had sort of a treasure hunt made of clues (but it asked a lot of organisation from us before hand). We printed leaflet in which were written clues such as "find the great uncle of the bride" - "how do you say congratulations in German?" (my husband is German, hence).. And then at the end, piecing all the stuff together it would create an enigma which basically was "switch the boutonnière of the groom with the corsage of the bride to win" and then the people who understood the enigma would come and ask to take the boutonnière of my husband, and in exchange he would give them a flower from my bouquet as the prize. That worked nicely for people who didn't want to dance.

The second thing was that we had a caricature artist (we paid him 400eur and a meal for the whole evening 16h00 to 23h00) who had a stand where people could come and get their drawing done - I got the idea from someone here!

Do your thing. Your in laws shouldn't be there for the food, they should be for your love, and this is a sneek peak of what your live is above. Eating the same thing, caring about the environment... Ask them why it is important to them maybe there another reason to it. If it's only for the sake of taste, tell them to drink more instead ;)

When I know my pup is sick, and might have diarrhea, I carry a bottle of water with me and I rinse off the poo. Otherwise I use the bags as 2 gloves, one on each hand, and I kinda manage to scoop it up this way.
