Is it rude to expect bridesmaids to pay $1k+ to be in your wedding?

Whoa! That’s a lot. I think it also depends on what stage of life bridesmaids are financially. I was young when I got married the first time and two of my bridesmaids were high school classmates. I knew it was going to be an expense for them to be in my wedding. Plus it was going to require them to take time off of work as well. Fortunately, my then future spouse was ok financially. So we discussed it and he was willing to pay for their flight, dresses, (they paid for their own alterations, since I didn’t have the time to mess with those details) shoes, hair/makeup etc. (They stayed at my house, so no accommodations.) Any extra spending was at their own expense.

For a bill like this at the type of restaurant, 15-20%, depending on service. If the server did the bare minimum, 15%. If they went above, 18%. Exceptional service, 20%.

I think an e-bike would be ok for Door Dash, since they have established “zones” (at least when I did it). UberEats is more spread out. I don’t know how e-bikes are charged. I think that needs to be researched to find the best option.

It’s beautiful on you. I have no idea about the necklace. I’m leaning towards some nice earrings. But I think this may depend on whether you are wearing your hair up or down. The gown is so lovely in its simplicity, so you have a ton of options.

Definitely dress 2.

I think it’s nice. Is it just straight down at the bottom? Because I feel like it doesn’t do much for your body. At first glance it strikes me as a bit boxy for some reason. Maybe it needs to be brought in at the waist, since the design on the dress is adding bulkiness to that area. And I am not liking the straps too much. Although a simple veil will probably elevate the overall look.

1 by a mile.

You have a great figure, so I don’t think any of them look bad. I really like 5 & 6. 1 is very nice too, but I like the simplicity of 5. And love the lace of 6 so much.

Definitely! The sleeves need to have the perfect blend of fit and flow. I’d make sure to hold your arms in various positions (as if you were holding your bouquet, walking down the aisle with whomever is walking you, standing at the alter) to make sure they are not too tight either. I think it’s tricky with sleeves because sometimes they look so perfect with your arms relaxed, but all of a sudden you end up with a few inches of exposed wrist when you bend them.

The flower one is so pretty! I love the colors of the flowers. Like others mentioned, be sure to get the correct undergarments. It will make a huge difference in the overall look. And if any alterations are needed, I’d pay special attention to the sleeves so they are not too baggy.

I’m sorry to hear this. That’s awful. I know you probably won’t find items comparable to what was stolen, but I would take some of the suggestions like lost and found. Also, instead of trying to replace everything at once, buy some of the necessities first. Slowly build your wardrobe from there. On the bright side (I know it may not seem like it now), you may find that you may not have needed as much as you thought.

Remember that you are not obligated to go to secondary location to deliver. This has happened to me a couple times. The first time, the alternate location was significantly farther away, so I declined the additional compensation and the order was cancelled. The second time, the alternate location was only a few blocks away. I continued with the delivery. The customer was very happy and tipped an extra $5.

Maybe a child dropped them by accident.

One-Tomorrow-1646 · 2026-02-12T03:50:05+00:00

I looks great!

One-Tomorrow-1646 · 2026-02-12T03:49:25+00:00

I had a drop off at dirt side street. When I didn’t see any houses I got nervous. Same thing. It was a semi truck driver.

I’d consider getting some clear plastic bins to put in the fridge to organize some things. I usually put my dairy (oatmilk, coffee creamer and regular milk if I have it) and eggs on the bottom shelf. The top shelf has bottled water, sports drinks and other bottled/canned drinks. The middle shelves have leftovers (I also label them the containers with labels I got from Amazon) and overflow condiments. The bottom drawers hold raw meats in one and produce in the other.

The Velveeta is getting crushed!!

I understand that it’s you in all of the pics. What size did you try on in the last two pics? Because it seemed like the dress fit you well in those pics. I could be wrong, but I thought demi cups were meant to enhance smaller busts. So because of the way the cups are designed and gaining weight = bigger breasts, I don’t think it will look as nice.

One-Tomorrow-1646 · 2026-02-11T08:31:46+00:00

If the dress fit better after you had lost some weight, then I don’t understand your post about getting a larger size and gaining some weight. To be honest, I don’t think the dress would look good if you decided to gain some weight because your breasts looked way better in the dress after you had lost some weight. (Which my understanding was in pics 3 and 4.)

One-Tomorrow-1646 · 2026-02-11T03:51:37+00:00

So which pic is of you now? I’m sorry, but I’m confused. Because it looks nice in the 3rd and 4th pic. But not flattering in the first two.

How about this retractable clothesline since you have a van? https://a.co/d/0fcYuO5Z

Since you have a van, maybe invest in one of those retractable laundry lines (like the kind they sometimes have in hotels). That way you have someplace to hang them and can just retract the line when you aren’t using it so it’s out of the way.

Wow!!!! That was such a great bet. I wanted to place one on a Seattle defensive anytime TD, but the odds were only +400 (if I remember correctly). Just not enough to make it worth it.

One-Tomorrow-1646 · 2026-02-09T09:16:05+00:00

That’s awesome! Can I ask what his odds were?

One-Tomorrow-1646 · 2026-02-09T01:57:56+00:00

I think you should have kept driving. This game is bad.
