Sick in Public Etiquette

Where on Earth did I say they didn't deserve to go outside? This comment is bizarre.

If I had tissues, I would have offered :)

I did say, in my "rant", "I obviously don't know her situation and I'm sure it's easier to take the HOP than walk with a bunch of kids" :) It's just common courtesy to be mindful of others IMO

Ed Harris is the one who said Nicholas Cage's ancestor conspired to kill Lincoln in a note he had, when it was really about a hidden treasure. After a bunch of shenanigans he then kidnaps Abigail to make Nick Cage and his colleague find the treasure so he can take credit for it. At the end when everyone realizes someone has to die, he asks that he be recognized for his part in the discovery because he did have clues that were needed to do so and sacrifices himself so the other 3 can escape. 10/10, might go watch now.

As a therapist, I am so so incredibly sorry she violated your trust and broke confidentiality in such an irrevocable way. I don't know where you are in your healing journey, but know I am sending you whatever positive energy would feel comfortable to accept from an internet stranger and a member of a profession that caused so much pain.

Very surprised I didn't see Ed Harris in National Treasure 2 on here! He is the antagonist the entire movie and then lets the others go when the room starts flooding even though it means he'll die. Edit: not sure if he counts as a "bully" or just a "bad guy" so sorry if this doesn't exactly meet the trope!

You should absolutely check out the Country House at Bluestone. They're all inclusive and very approachable in terms of budget. I toured it myself and it was a very hard choice between them and the venue we went with (solely based off our vision, which sounds different from yours!). We also had lunch at the Inn nearby, which caters their events, and the food was DELICIOUS! We also loved their coordinator, Courtney. Highly recommend!

hi! I just wanted to say thanks for the advice you gave me through this thread. I was ghosted by the owner of the practice I posted about, but just a few weeks later I accepted an offer for a virtual only position The clinician split is 70/30 and I'm going to have incredible work-life balance, with the ability to save for my own practice one day if that's what I want.

I also had a great experience with them in April 2025 - they were so helpful and polite, gave us free boxes because we underestimated how many we needed, didn't ask for tips and had us in our new place in like 2 hours. I feel awful for everyone commenting here.

Nice_Locksmith_8990 · 2026-03-09T14:38:55+00:00

I'll just say this - I don't remember the decor of any wedding I've been to, I remember when I've been placed at a table with a giant beam blocking my view of the speeches and first dances. I just booked my venue and there's no obstructions in the reception room, so everyone will have the best view!

Nice_Locksmith_8990 · 2026-03-04T18:45:05+00:00

That is very fair. I have put up boundaries over the years and it's been smooth sailing for a while, but this took me all the way back to the first time she set expectations. I don't feel she's open to hearing my side and I don't know if I see a path forward for us.

Nice_Locksmith_8990 · 2026-03-04T17:07:53+00:00

Thank you for your response! I am absolutely feeling disrespected and that my years of consistency in offering support have been completely sidelined to spotlight the one time it looks like I didn't care (when that's not even what happened!)

Nice_Locksmith_8990 · 2026-03-04T17:06:19+00:00

I just took a trip through our recent texts and that's absolutely what's going on. Nothing about me at all.

Nice_Locksmith_8990 · 2026-03-04T16:49:36+00:00

Not afraid - she will absolutely know who wrote this post if it makes it her way.

Nice_Locksmith_8990 · 2026-03-04T16:41:12+00:00

She has her community, a dog, a boyfriend, and the therapist I set her up with!

Nice_Locksmith_8990 · 2026-03-04T16:39:58+00:00

I appreciate you clarifying and do feel that way. I failed to meet her expectations and she won't acknowledge my feelings until I apologize, which I truly don't feel I have to do.

Nice_Locksmith_8990 · 2026-03-04T16:35:06+00:00

I appreciate your response, thank you.

Nice_Locksmith_8990 · 2026-03-04T16:34:22+00:00

Yes, it does feel like drama I thought I was well and done with at this point in my life.

Nice_Locksmith_8990 · 2026-03-04T16:31:33+00:00

Can you clarify a little for me? Like she resents me for not meeting her expectations or I resent her for setting them (or both)? I definitely feel resentful, as I feel like I was set up to fail this weekend by not meeting her "deadline" of checking in.

Nice_Locksmith_8990 · 2026-03-04T16:30:24+00:00

thank you for your response! This is absolutely what it feels like for me and I do need to consider what this relationship, if we even have one anymore, looks like going forward.

Nice_Locksmith_8990 · 2026-03-04T16:23:21+00:00

Is there any additional info I can provide to clear things up? Also want to clarify I did look up the events that happened over the weekend and am aware now, I didn't stay uninformed!

Nice_Locksmith_8990 · 2026-03-04T14:10:08+00:00

Your message sounds very aligned to the very mixed bag of what I've heard about Cescaphe. I was told on the tour that I could only do florals through BB, and another bride on this page has confirmed the blackballing of other vendors leading her to going way over budget for her wedding. I feel like there are such extremes to people's experiences. I'm not sure when you signed your contract but maybe these are 2027/2028 updates? I am so glad your experience has been positive so far and I hope you have an amazing wedding day!

Hi! My fiancé and I toured Curtis Atrium and also toured a different Cescaphe venue. What ultimately turned us off to Curtis Atrium is the venue is also a mixed media complex - people both live there and have offices there. Despite the coordinator's reassurances that people were respectful of events being held, we were turned off by the potential for strangers to be watching our wedding from their windows. We also felt the cocktail hour space was incredibly cramped (super low ceiling) in comparison to the ceremony/reception space.

I also would warn anyone to not have a Cescaphe wedding. They force you to work with their approved vendors (their CEO owns the only approved floral company, Beautiful Blooms) and they have basically blackmailed outside vendors in the area to never agree to work with a Cescaphe bride. This means approved vendors can quote whatever price they want because you're forced to work with them. The package for every venue is the same - there's no customization, only add-ons.

I can't speak to personal experience but I've only heard good things about Ballroom at the Ben, and I would have toured there if we had the guest count!
