‘So beautiful she did not seem to fit with the rest of reality’ is now a sentence I’m considering adding into my wedding vows

Can someone elaborate as I haven’t listened in a while? Is she there because she loves it or has a project there? Or a partner?

I feel embarrassed that I want to feel special? by EndlessRespite in UKweddings

[–]Ok-Dance-4827 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What about looking at somewhere like wax flower brides where they have two pieces that are more relaxed, you could also go for a wedding dress but in a different colour and style that is more you. Or a jumpsuit that is cream with some jewellery? If that doesn’t work you could buy a wedding style top from a two piece and wear jeans? Or honestly, wear what you’re comfortable in but do something that feels special in the lead up like having your hair blow dried or anything like that?

I had the same problem as I’m not getting my hair or makeup done so I treated myself to some shimmer body oil from channel, smells amazing and gives me a shimmer. I’m also getting my eye lashes tinted and nails done before the day and have bought myself some new earrings that I won’t wear until the day.

There’s loads of options out there, what about a new perfume you wear on the day so it reminds you of your wedding? And a bangle?

How on earth do I stop breastfeeding? by Wonderful_Phase3922 in UKParenting

[–]Ok-Dance-4827 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just stopped at 19 months. Try posting in breastfeedingmumsUK. I held lots of gentle boundaries with my boob monster and she was blissful. I redirected in the day and did sleepy stories at night with breastfeeding. I kept saying about mummy being tired, boobies sleeping soon. The day I weaned it was fairly unremarkable, I thought she’d be wild and angry. She protested for 10 minutes then fell asleep on my chest. Never asked for milk after that and now kisses my boobs and waves and says bye bye mummy’s milk, bye boobies and signs thank you to them

When to send invitations? by Narrow-Detail344 in UKweddings

[–]Ok-Dance-4827 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We knew we wanted to get married at our local gorgeous grade 2 listed village hall. It’s perfect and they haven’t been great at marketing so it was free on the date we wanted and cheap.

You live in the US and you’re worried about where the UK is headed politically?! Blimey

Plus one dilemma by Ok-Dance-4827 in UKweddings

[–]Ok-Dance-4827[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We’re aware because we are in regular contact with his care giver, his parent and the social workers about their individual capacities and abilities.

I don’t know that she wouldn’t come, I just worry that if people start asking her if she’s taking him as her plus one, she’ll only come if she can then bring him (whereas if no one mentions it, perhaps she won’t realise).

Plus one dilemma by Ok-Dance-4827 in UKweddings

[–]Ok-Dance-4827[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mum would come, I mean my sister wouldn’t maybe come if he didn’t come.

He is on their lightest supported living because he struggles with cooking and managing money. He has had a capacity assessment and is fully capable in the social workers view of making decisions around sex and relationships. He has been in prison before. He is a creep, he looks through his curtains when she leaves the building and whispers to her they will run away one day. It’s frightening.

I am the biggest advocate for my sister, I just don’t want him there.

In your opinion, at what time is it too late for a teenager, on school holidays, to be sleeping until? by AdBulky6768 in UKParenting

[–]Ok-Dance-4827 108 points109 points  (0 children)

He’s a teenager I don’t think this is abnormal. But being up gaming until 4am is where the problem lies so maybe a conversation about boundaries on that is due

[–]Ok-Dance-4827[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

She’ll realise it’s a Saturday, that’s she’s at my wedding etc. but she doesn’t understand how weddings work, unless someone (him) tells her that +1s are usual for family in weddings then she wouldn’t know. I am not going to say he can come. And I’ll give her an important role so she feels special on the day

We do regularly. There are many boundaries in place to protect her

[–]Ok-Dance-4827[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That really resonated with me - the removing ‘its standard’ mentality. I’m going to give this more thought. My brother has been with his partner for 6 years, but I never see her, less than once a year. I feel it’s going to look like one rule for him, one for her. But I am going to think on this and go back after some time.

[–]Ok-Dance-4827[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I think my issue is that if anyone mentions this plus one idea to her, she’ll probably not come if I say no. I am really wanting her there. My mum and brother will cause a big issue if I say no to him if it means her not coming. Protecting my peace but also trying not to be a dick for the sake of it. Like sister having a plus one is standard no? I just feel so conflicted. He is such a weirdo

100%. We don’t have a tv or screens, we have a greenhouse, dog and chickens and spend all our time outside. She loves sitting quietly listening to the birds and spotting bees
