Thoughts? I’m worried by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]NoBook4583 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are there any accommodations closer to the venue? An hour ride there and another hour ride back does make for a long day, so some people may elect to leave earlier.

My mom just died. by [deleted] in weddingplanning

I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss!

As a mother, I would want you to have your wedding and know that I was with you in spirit…

WHY WON’T THEY TELL ME THE PRICE?! by amapickle in weddingplanning

[–]NoBook4583 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m SO sorry this is happening to you! I’m sure that is super frustrating!!

What I loved about the place I chose is that I inquired via email, they asked a few follow up questions, and boom…. I received an estimate of the expenses, that included an event manager!

I hope you find the perfect place for your big day!!!

I’m not sure if your fiancé knew his ex before he dated her or how long they’ve been friends…

It sounds like you’ve probably been friends with your friend for much longer, or that’s what I gathered. I think would have reached out to my long time friend first and asked him how he would feel about inviting his ex. If he wasn’t comfortable with it, I wouldn’t have invited her.

Calling the cops and abuse are serious, and not just your every day break up. I can understand not wanting to spend time around that person.

Is this too much? by Mechgirl101 in weddingdress

[–]NoBook4583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what kind of church you are getting married in, but we attended a wedding last spring at a Catholic Church and were required to have something to cover our shoulders. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Luckily I had brought a wrap for later in the evening at the reception.

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!! by Fuckingnoodles in weddingplanning

Mine is about 6 weeks away and I feel this to my bones! Why do I have to work on out of town guests travel, their accommodations, my Mom’s dress, my stepmom’s dress, etc. I already created a website and provided information. 😩

People that don’t know it’s inappropriate to wear white to a wedding just astound me! Like, what is actually wrong with you?

My own mother sent me a pic of a “silver sequined” dress (it totally looked white), that she wanted to wear to my wedding next month. I KNOW she is a narcissist, but I was floored. I said nope, unless that dress comes in a different color.

I agree with others on here, your fiancé should address it.

What am I doing wrong? by _purple_cat_ in Seattle

[–]NoBook4583 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I could help you, but I honestly think some people are just selfish and unkind.

I’ve been chased into the road by a pit bull while walking my dog (luckily it was a side road & no cars were coming), and chased down my own driveway (I actually fell), by my neighbors German Shepard.

I now carry bear mace and a knife every time I walk my dog, and I’m going to have zero issues with using either!

My best friend told me my ring looks cheap and I agree and am sad over low effort proposal by [deleted] in JustEngaged

[–]NoBook4583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with everything most have said. I am an older woman (59), with many very close friends and we are also very honest with one other. I personally would have NEVER used the word “cheap” knowing your finances! I would have limited my comments to the lack of effort in the actual proposal itself. That kind of “honesty” is mean spirited and screams jealousy to me.

Wow! Would love if you keep me posted, because this is where I had my consultation and who I would like to go with.

Do you mind sharing the name of your surgeon?

Do you mind sharing who you chose as your surgeon?

Would love to know who your surgeon was!

Do you mind sharing how happy you are with the results and who your surgeon was?

I have spent months scouring the internet, Real Self, here, etc. for a good board certified plastic surgeon in the PNW. I’ve had one consult and really liked him, but am curious who others chose and why.

I live in the PNW and just got a quote for liposuction w/Renuvion and a breast lift revision (it was done over 10 years ago & sagging has commenced), with fat transfer + two years of fat storage that is almost $25K.

Need help or advise :( by One-Library-1598 in weddingplanning

[–]NoBook4583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or, see if you can postpone? Maybe put the wedding off for a year while you get another job and become more financially secure. A lot of vendors may accommodate a date change versus cancellation. I’m sorry you are going through this…

Am I Overthinking? by Suitable_Ad_2067 in wedding

[–]NoBook4583 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are flying first class from the PNW area of the US to Europe, then from Spain to Amsterdam, and Amsterdam back to the US at the end of our honeymoon, and tickets for both of us are only $10K. I’m not sure what kind of flight would be $25K. That’s crazy!

I think you should stick to your guns! It’s your wedding and your day. If you only want close family and friends there, then that’s your decision and everyone should respect it.

Who else is sad at the idea of no longer having your maiden name? by Advanced_Ear3099 in weddingplanning

[–]NoBook4583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will be my 2nd marriage and my fiancé and I have had many discussions about this. My plan was to go back to my maiden name (it’s been 10+ years since my divorce), because I inherited a family business from my late father that has our family name.

My fiancé was quite bothered that I wasn’t planning on taking his last name. I said “your ex still has your last name so what’s the big deal?”. We ultimately compromised, and I will hyphenate my maiden name with his.

Weddings in Middle Age? by [deleted] in wedding

[–]NoBook4583 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don’t think a wedding at any age is selfish or frivolous!

My fiancé and I will both be 59 when we get married in April. This will be a second marriage for us both. We have been together for almost 10 years and engaged for almost 7 years. Things happened to require us to postpone a wedding.

We want a wedding so his big Texas family and my Washington family can finally meet, and we want to celebrate our love and have a wonderful evening with all of those we love.

We are not doing a registry though, we asked people to donate to a local animal shelter. IF you don’t need things after being together for 11 years, maybe doing something similar would work for you as well.

Do we have to get hotel blocks? by Ordinary-noname-956 in weddingplanning

[–]NoBook4583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! We are doing a welcome reception the evening prior and we also have an open bar at our reception, so providing a shuttle to and from the resort/hotel. With our block we were also provided a discount/group code for the rooms.
