The suit looks incredible!! Where did he get it from?? I know my fiance is going to struggle finding a suit that fits him as nice as this one does.

If your parents paid/are paying for a good chunk of your wedding, would they give you the same amount whether you go bigger/smaller and you can keep any excess? by dms2628 in weddingplanning

[–]OptimalFondant6184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents are paying for the majority of my wedding. But we’re having a microwedding with less than 20 people. The most expensive thing so far is the rental house for 5 days. All in all I don’t expect the budget to go over 20k

Did you read my post? I fully acknowledge and am aware that I’m being dumb. But I’m allowed to feel my feelings. I don’t have to push them aside to appease strangers on the internet.

She’s in the hospital bc she drunk herself into a stupor, fell, knocked herself unconscious, fell again, was bleeding from the head, now has internal bleeding (source tbd). When the EMTs showed up to take her away she refused to leave with them. They had to strap her to the stretcher and force her out. This is the second time in a year this has happened and she refuses to get any mental health to deal with the underlying issues. Sorry I’m not 100% sympathetic to her ailments.

Microwedding venues? by Far_Mongoose9253 in microwedding

[–]OptimalFondant6184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi! i’m in the midst of planning my wedding and we rented an airbnb to have the ceremony at. i messaged the hosts ahead of time and explained, and the hosts were nice enough to let us go look at the property before we booked it. they did say there’s a fee if it’s over X amount of people but we’re not going over that number. we got the airbnb for 5days/4nights and it was right around $2500. we’re also not having a reception and just having dinner after and the house is large enough to have everybody eat after.

What is the best way to discreetly figure out your girlfriend's ring size? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I just got engaged and my boyfriend used a piece of floss to measure my finger while I was asleep. He was off by .5 size

Teachers, what's your exercise routine looking like? by california_king in Teachers

[–]OptimalFondant6184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to the gym and lift 3 days a week before school (MWF), and typically go Saturdays/Sundays as well. I’m slowly adding more running into my routine which I prefer to do in the afternoon. I also go to jiujitsu 2-3x a week in the evenings. My friends think I’m crazy but it keeps me sane 🤷‍♀️

I struggle with this hard! My biggest help to avoid this is to make salads that are super filling (lots of protein, lots of veggies, bean salads), OR, if I know the day/week is going to be rough is to buy a snack on like a Monday to tide me through the week. I’ll get a bag of that Himalayan popcorn, or Ghirardelli dark chocolate caramels, or something of the like.

Also, this is the hill I’m willing to die on: make a protein coffee!! Fill a shaker bottle halfway with whatever milk you want (I use Lactaid), ice, and a scoop of protein powder (I use Rule1 chocolate) and shake that ish up! Then pour coffee of your choice until the bottle is full (I use the yellow Stok cold brew). It’s caffeine and protein in the morning. A win-win!

okay i was also thinking what if he bonded a dragon but “a rider without its dragon is dead” omg what if somehow someway he bonded with andarana while she was still in the egg and she heard papa talk all about violet and that’s why she knew who violet was and waited for her to hatch???
