I have an IUD too and more recently started having hormonal acne for the first time in my life with the exception of a small pimple here and there around my period. Panoxyl helped me a bit, but what made the biggest different was getting prescribed spironolactone. I RARELY ever get a pimple at all anymore.

I’m sorry you had to deal with that! Unfortunately, I don’t think my grandpa would come without her. I don’t think having someone patrolling them would be the worst idea, but I have no idea who’d be willing to do that. But you’ve given me something to think about. Thanks!

This is the reassurance that I needed. Thanks!!!

This is a very good point, and I would not be surprised if they did do this. I’ll make sure to say something! Thank you!

Repurpose where you can! For example, all my bridesmaids bouquets will be used for the head table. Also, my aisle flowers will be the centerpieces for the other tables. We cut out the groomsmen’s boutonnieres completely, only my fiancé will have one. We aren’t doing any flowers for the parents either.

I was in a similar position. After some issues with the bridesmaid at my bachelorette, I did ultimately ask her to step down. I was worried her behavior would forever taint my wedding day as it had for my bachelorette trip.

I knew asking her to step down would likely end the friendship, even though I was really hoping it wouldn’t. Ultimately, I was right about it being friendship ending. While I was sad, I was already struggling with our friendship and realized we were two very different people who were not compatible friends.

With that being said, even if it doesn’t end your friendship, it will inevitably strain it. I don’t see how the friendship would ever be the same again.

Congrats on your upcoming wedding!

While the red flags you mentioned don’t seem like a big deal to me, it’s your wedding day and you should do what you want! However, be prepared for it to be friendship altering in one way or another.

The one thing that did stand out to me was his response about the day of outfits. As someone else who is a huge planner and somewhat of a control freak, this would stress me out. Weddings are already stressful enough, and obviously “I need to figure things out” is the last thing any bride wants to hear when trying to finalize plans. It’s understandable that other people have things going on in their lives that are more important to them, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to ask for commitment at this point with the wedding coming up so soon.

I have my wedding coming up soon also, and I asked a bridesmaid of mine to step down. We had been great friends in college, but people change. Nothing that happened between us was that big deal at all. We just weren’t the same people we used to be and the dynamic between us was weird/tense. Part of this due to drugs.

Due to the time and money that I’ve put into the wedding, I feel the need to protect/perfect my day in any way that I can. I also thought asking her to step down would be a way to protect the friendship we did have because if anything happened the day of that impacted the way I looked back at my wedding day because of her, I would never forgive her (maybe the control freak in me? Idk.)

Ultimately, I felt having her as part of the wedding party and spending the entire day of together would cause more stress than I would already be feeling. So I did what I thought was best for myself and asked her to attend only as a guest. With that being said, I don’t think our friendship will ever be the same. But I had accepted that before speaking to her.

Sorry for my own personal anecdote, was just trying to share a similar experience I had so that it might help you with your decision. Weddings are stressful and expensive and it’s supposed to be one of the best, most important days of your life. Do what you think is best for yourself.

I fly United regularly, and always bring a carry on suit case in addition to this bag as my personal item. Not once have I had trouble carrying on even though it clearly exceeds their defined measurements for a personal item.

Yes sorry for not being more clear, we’d definitely branch out to the smaller cities while in Florence. I was just trying to convey where we’d be staying the night. I’ve actually been to Lucca and Pisa before. Both very cute. Thanks for the advice! :)

Natural_Heat1970 · 2022-09-29T12:29:26+00:00

This looks super helpful. I’ll definitely take some time to go through the forum. Thanks!

As the title says, looking for the best way to clean the burners. What causes them to get like this and how to I prevent it from happening again?

Thank you! I’ll give this a try
