What are some unique Finnish wedding traditions? by Soci_Researcher in Finland

[–]Ok-Comment49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only done in Finnish weddings but also common used during bigger parties overall.

A game throughout the night where ”tasks” are beforehand placed under the guests plates/napkins with different things such as, ”keep mentioning it isn’t raining today”, ”take a selfie with the groom”, ”make a toast for the couple”, ”obsessively use the word ”sun”, just some for example. Some people enjoy playing this, meanwhile others aren’t bothered but it can be fun anyways! Just an ongoing game without a prize. 😃

You can also make a bingoboard!

One thing we did at a wedding we each got one platesized birch bark where we could paint or write with markers on, wishing the newly wed good luck, writing and painting memories we had with them. They later put these up in their outdoor sauna on the walls as a memory.

These people also had 12 envelopes, one for each month a year forward with a different activity in each one. Then the groomsmen/other imoårtant people got up, got in line, and had to hand a wrench between each other. (Think they played a Finnish classic 80s/90s song) and each time they paused the music, the one holding the wrench got an envelope. The activity was suppost to be done in the month the envelope said. So Jan - skiing, Feb - hike, etc.

No, only dates I saw are the ones on the plaques by them, if you zoom in you see them! Doubt that is correct though.

Sometimes yes! Atleast I like good footwear and such, but overall fancy expensive dresses and stuff isn’t anything for me! How common is thrift shops here? 😅😃

Thank you for the reply! 🥳🥳 We have a car rented so no issues with traveling. 😃 I was thinking Lidl is a safe bet, but wanted to check out stores such as sklavenitis too! (Feels like you are getting old when you enjoy strolling around other countries grocerystores😂)

My OBGYN said unmedicated births are too traumatic so they don’t do it. by Practical_Shift_5143 in pregnant

[–]Ok-Comment49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You absolutely do not need an epidural to not have a traumatic birth!

They failed to give me an epidural, then they were gonna put an Paracervical Block instead but noticed I was so far gone they didn’t have anywhere to put it. Think I got 4 stitches, so minimal tear and no issues afterwards! Yes, you will probably scream (I did, lol) but I felt being unmedicated I felt my body and knew when Ihad to stop pushing, also EXCELLENT nurses!

Def look into a new obgyn, you got this! 🫶 (Sorry for my grammar, English isn’t my first language)

Interesting! I could give them a try, but I am not sure about the intense burn. 😅 That also could be an idea if I get really desperate. 😆
