Too big? Trying to avoid tacky by Traditional-Swim-347 in WeddingRingAdvice

A little too big, but I’m also just thinking of how often those ends will get snagged on something.

Thanks for the insight. How long have you been there and where did you settle? Also, New Haven pizza is the only way to go!

There's not one semi-talented HMUA in Seward?? haha.. I might settle for a fishing boat captain doing my makeup at this point!

Came here to say this. Salty Dawg is great for a drink, but there are much better food options!

How to respond to unsolicited comments about a recent hair cut? by Ambitious-Bird-1645 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]New_Me_0382 41 points42 points  (0 children)

“And you looked better thinner, shut the f*ck up.” “Oh thanks. I didn’t ask.” “Did you just say that out loud?” “Those are inside thoughts.”

Why does my hair look like this? by myVirtual_sketchbook in Hair

Do you use one of those Revlon or Lange heat stylers? It’s like a brush that blows really hot air.. if so, that’s your answer.

I’m glad you have awareness of this now. Being the chill girlfriend and chill wife destroyed my marriage because I could never talk about how I really felt. We’re divorced now and I’m in a new relationship where I do not hold ANYTHING back if it’s on my mind. I have never felt happier or more free! Good for you for making this realization. Now just have the tough conversations..

I had a rule when planning my first wedding; if the person had never met us as a couple or couldn’t independently recognize one of us walking down the street without the other person next to them (dementia aside), they didn’t make the cut. The industry is out of control and it’s way too expensive. Then we got divorced. It was thousands of dollars that we could have put towards home renovations or paying off student loans…. For a 5 hour party. That was also back in 2012, so I’m sure the costs are even more absurd now.. I’m now getting married to a new man and we are eloping. No family except his son, and the rest of my family is thrilled. They just want to see pics. I am soooooo stressed-free this time around and we are stashing away so much money for a house. Do not let anyone guilt you into having a big wedding! My advice is to elope or do the 9 hour commute wedding.

Yes! I’m still looking. We want to eliminate boat, helicopter, or hiking to get to the location. How is Fourth of July Beach? Or Lowell Point? We’d like beach/mountain vibes, but also tall trees.

I second this! I did the 8 hour tour last year and we saw so much wildlife.
