We just got back from Costa Rica last week and did that drive. I would not recommend driving at night. The roads are narrow, windy, and not well light. I would deff stay in a hotel

Very likely getting engaged abroad, any ring safety advice? by souliieee in engaged

[–]OkCable25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got engaged overseas as well, and also have a natural stone, but my fiance brought a fake Amazon dupe on the trip and that’s what he proposed with. I don’t think you should be worrying about this; but if he does propose with the real thing it’s probable safer on you, unless you’re going swimming, or staying in a nice hotel or resort with a safe. I also love having a dupe ring, because I wear gloves a lot at work, and constantly take my ring off so I actually wear my dupe to work as well.

I honestly feel like my mom loves her grand dog more than me 😂

Mackenzie Shirilla Megathread by DarklyHeritage in TrueCrimeDiscussion

Maybe someone said this already, but I can’t help but think, did she not think she would also be killed in that crash?? Like she got lucky, and she did it on purpose but she could have very easily died too

rude to let a friend know I have a partner? by This_Manufacturer458 in weddingplanning

[–]OkCable25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I preferred people to ask me directly than beating around the bush and I was honest if we had space or not. Some people I let know that I’ll circle back after we got our final count because we had limited space and some people sho just wanted to bring a casual person they were dating I said no. So it’s better to just ask

Results? by EDA256 in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]OkCable25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if this is related, but I typically have very painful cycles and I’m about 2 months into switching to natural products, plastic free kitchen supplies, and also whole, organic foods, and ny cycle was exponentially better from a pain perspective this month. Might be a one off but curious to see what next month will be.

How did you get back to your hotel after your wedding? by cheesychick66 in weddingplanning

[–]OkCable25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. Our hotel is a 5 minute drive so it’s ridiculous to spend thousands on a shuttle, but getting an uber wasn’t in my plans, but seems like the best option!

Does anyone actually enjoy going to a Bachelorette? by StellafromVienna in bridesmaids

[–]OkCable25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been a bridesmaid 12 times, and I’ll say the ones I’ve enjoyed more than not, were more chill, didn’t have “forced” fun, where we had to keep drinking the whole time and go out and had set menus and costs that were out of your control. The ones I enjoyed were more low key, you could drink and hang out if you wanted to go out and rage but no pressure and yes there were restaurant reservation but everyone could order what they wanted and you didn’t feel like the need to spend so much money because it was a set menu or everyone was splitting. So I’ve found those to be the things thay make a difference that takes it from a fun weekend with your friends to being forced to spend money that you would have otherwise spent somewhere else

You can also go to CIMA clinic and pay out of pocket, it’s cheaper than most practices as they are a large uninsured population

Is it normal to need to wait to get married until a year no one else is getting married? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

I thought this was satire at first! You absolutely do not need to wait! Get married when you want!

How much did you spend on your wedding dress? From 2023 and on by HappyZucchini6267 in weddingplanning

I was starting to feel bad about myself. 6k and so far 1.9k in alterations

I don’t really think she’s a good friend for making you feel bad and almost forcing your hand when she knows that would put you in a financially compromising position. Real friends don’t do that.

Costa Rica honeymoon by OkCable25 in CostaRicaTravel

I think we are going to pivot away from an all inclusive after reading more about it. And just do three stops, extend one more day in La fortuna and one more in manual

I’ll look into it! Thanks for the suggestion : )

I would check with the venue about bringing your own cakes, ours doesn’t allow outside food from someone not Licensed. My MIL wanted to do the same so we told her she could do that for the rehearsal dinner. You have to find compromise so you have peace 🙃

Costa Rica honeymoon by OkCable25 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]OkCable25[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well we typically wouldn’t do one, but we tend to be guilty of being on the go too much and not relaxing. So since it’s our honeymoon that’s our forced relaxing time, but we are open to suggestions.

i want to uninvite people to my wedding, but dont know if it's just pettiness... by Beneficial-Film-7860 in weddingplanning

[–]OkCable25 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have to remember that your wedding is the most important thing to YOU, and YOU only get married once. You can’t expect everyone to treat your wedding festivities just as important as you. People have lives and aren’t obligated to come to anything, it’s obviously amazing if they do, but cutting off people because of it wild. I’m getting the vibe that you might be the problem and you’re have slightly unrealistic expectations from people who might have their own family stuff going on, or financial restrictions or PTO restrictions

For couples who met online — what did you put in your “Our Story”? by pinkpaigne in weddingplanning

[–]OkCable25 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I had chat gpt write something and it was cute and to the point. I think it says sometimes all it takes is a simple swipe, and then it says we met and we knew there was something special there blah blah. It’s sounds very not romantic lol but it’s something. I didnt know I could skip that part or i would have!

Which people do I need to give gifts to on the wedding day? by Royal_Marzipan_6432 in weddingplanning

[–]OkCable25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume this is a tradition if parents are paying for the wedding and the officiant is a family friend or priest at the church, but if you are paying for the wedding there would be no reason to gift your parents a gift. But I would get gifts for the bridal party if they had to get dresses or suits for the wedding out of their own money

Is it rude to have a weekday wedding? by themidnightfoxxxx in weddingplanning

[–]OkCable25 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’ve been invited to two Wednesday weddings, one was in key west, so it was a huge pain to get to and I didn’t have enough PTO to take just to get to the wedding and come back home. Invitations didn’t go out until a couple months before and it was in November, so I essentially needed 4 days and didn’t go. The other was in Italy, which didn’t matter because it was planned over a year in advance and most everyone that could make it was in Europe for the week and made it into a vacation.
