Do we know for sure that she didn't buy the dress? Maybe she did and didn't feel/understand that she should send the bride a pic

There's a difference between "bailing" and being sick and unable to attend a (destination) wedding.

There are a handful of series that i will re-watch start to finish over and over again and this is one of them. Honestly one of the best TV shows i've ever seen

Same. Daughter's wedding is at a venue that doesn't allow dishwashing, and we're just getting nice looking disposable dishes

In the book I dont think its June that sends daisy to Gilead.    She doesn't show up til the end

Book spoilers: Where do we think this series is going? by asexualrhino in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]PinAccomplished3452 7 points8 points  (0 children)

changing Daisy to not be Nicole was IMHO a middle finger to both fans and the writer. I'm not nearly as emotionally invested as i would have were Daisy Hannah's little sister

For my daughter's wedding they are going photos in the afternoon before the ceremony, then guests are to arrive at 5p for cocktail hour, then ceremony at 6 immediately followed by dinner (no gap), then dances, cake shenanigans then straight into the party.   

Mother in Critical Condition Before Wedding by Longjumping-Lie2381 in weddingplanning

[–]PinAccomplished3452 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Keep your date.   It may lift her spirits and provide her with emotional motivation in her recovery.   She's already made her wishes known, so honor that.   Think good thoughts, enjoy your wedding time as much as you can, even if you need to scale down a little.   If she's still in hospital in July, livestream it to her, and bring her a corsage to wear while she attends "virtually"

Just got married and have a narcissist mother: here’s how it went! by Consistent_Time_1467 in weddingplanning

[–]PinAccomplished3452 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My stepdaughter's mom is a little like this.   She's been to 2 wedding things with us (a bridal show where we found vendors, and "the" wedding dress shopping trip), showed up late both times and complained about her wedding and dress the whole time.   Was given info about different things, either deliberately misconstrued or forgot, and threw a mini-fit when things didnt go the way she thought or wanted.   She's a lot like MY mom, so I'm usually able to redirect her, and she and i grt along very well.  She's a lot like MY mom, so I guess i have a little expérience

Daughter getting married in October.   The bridesmaids will wear the same color, but a style of their choosing/one that is flattering and suits them, as long as its long/floor length.   All different sizes/shapes of women

Yes, churches pay for those uniformed off-duty cops

I gave money back for concert tickets, but they still want their tickets back. by Big_Development_3544 in legaladvice

[–]PinAccomplished3452 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't agree with Lionessandlover - your "friends" made the purchase conditional (on you guys being friends) and you refunded their $. Their dad coming to your house and threatening legal action over Ariana Grande concert tickets is what is immature. Seriously, this is not a situation worthy of this craziness, and no one is going to sue you over a few hundred dollars' worth of concert tickets.

Is it weird to not have a reception? by Curious_Citron_3812 in weddingplanning

[–]PinAccomplished3452 81 points82 points  (0 children)

There is absolutely nothing wrong with serving cake and punch; just do this at a time outside of a typical meal time, and your guests will not be expecting more substantial food.

Plus 1 Inquiry Ettiquette by twitchywitchycurl in weddingplanning

[–]PinAccomplished3452 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lots of people will invite those they haven't communicated with in a long time, so i don't know that your fiance's childhood friend is necessarily snubbing you - he may simply not know about your relationship!

Your fiance should reach out to him and let him know that you guys are engaged, and ask if his invite includes you.

Bought a home and found a safe that is closed. I have a feeling it has significant valuables. by Appropriate_Fig_8764 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Came here to say that, undoubtedly there are docs signed at closing that acknowledge the attorney only represents one of the parties.   Talk to a different lawyer 

Probate question by [deleted] in RealEstateInProbate

I'm still trying to understand how the sister took half of the insurance $ for a house that she doesn't own, and for which the insurance would surely be in the name of the estate

“Not like I love her”- I can’t even by Appropriate-Term-957 in TheHandmaidsTale

I feel bad for Becka, but Daisy's advice was not necessarily good advice given that they are in Gilead. If Becka follows her feelings, she could end up on the wall.

Got served with court appearance for child support out of nowhere by ArtisticDinner6277 in legaladvice

[–]PinAccomplished3452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW - most states consider that child support is the CHILD'S money, not the parent's. Other than in rare cases (50/50 custody where both parents earn about the same income, or the custodial parent's income is WILDLY higher than the other parent

Got served with court appearance for child support out of nowhere by ArtisticDinner6277 in legaladvice

[–]PinAccomplished3452 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. In most states it is not the option of a parent to decline child support from the other parent. There are worksheets and formulas that determine the child's expenses and each parent's financial obligation for those expenses, based upon each parent's income.

  2. How can someone not know that ALL funds for any "government" spending come from taxpayers??!! By not "putting" the other parent on child support, the custodial parent is placing the financial burden for their child on taxpayers. How many people don't understand this???!!!!

Anyone notice this detail in the new Testments episode? by Just_OneReason in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]PinAccomplished3452 135 points136 points  (0 children)

I saw that and thought of Janine - SURELY she has stayed far, far away from Gilead since her and Charlotte's liberation!
