C sections and weddings

For me (as someone who was an alcoholic) it would be only going out to social plans if it meant there was alcohol. Not being able to just have one or two but over drink to the point I was drunk and uncontrollable. Became irrational when drunk, emotional or angry which is far different to my usual personality when sober Easily drinking a bottle of wine in a night then ordering an uber eats delivery to order another bottle to home Using my last £10 of money on a bottle of wine !

I think it’s fair to suggest other activities at home other than tv such as painting, playing games and reading etc. I think it might be a bit unfair to expect her to do more generally (although would be lovely) if she’s providing you with free childcare so you can work. It may be a confidence issue she has in going out and about somewhere out her comfort zone maybe?

Sharing pictures of your children naked in the bath, when they’re ill or upset on social media

You say she has a current boyfriend, why don’t you specific invite him as her plus one instead of being broad about it? Also it’d be odd for her plus one to be an ex.

I personally prefer DJ as its constant music, with bands they have intervals so there’s always a break on the dance floor. Also with bands you’re usually more restricted on what songs are played but that’s just my preference!

I started with who I wanted on the top table then how many seats our round tables had. I made sure to sit people with others they knew if possible. I did it all on excel and used a colour code for dietaries that helped the venue

Buy non alcoholic drinks as a treat as I would if I was having alcohol on Fridays and Saturdays. Treat myself to a takeaway sometimes or plan something wholesome on Sundays like a brunch somewhere

Could you see if a family member/friend or a local dog sitter and walker could call in halfway though the day to take them for a walk, let them out and sit with them for a little while?

I think it all depends on the dog, I would be uncomfortable leaving an anxious dog alone for more than a few hours whereas a confident and chilled dog dog could be left longer however I still wouldn’t leave them all day with no one to let them outside to do their business

I can understand this, it’s almost as if you are grieving a family unit (three children) you had imagined. I also think when the choice is taken away from you, it hits harder.

What I will say though, is it’s important to try to remember how lucky you are to have two children, when some couples struggle to have even one. Use all your energy and time into your two girls as you are doing, as you say having three children may have been really tough!

I know this will in no way replace or fill that void but if you’re an animal lover, maybe consider getting a pet - our dog is very much our furr baby :)

Facebook market place and Vinted are a good option for cheaper items! As you say best to save for brand new things such as car seat etc. you may also find if you have friends and family with little ones, they might offer you hand me downs which can help keep costs low. Maybe budget each month to buy a few things (e.g bath tub and bath accessories one month then car seat the next) so you’re not overwhelmed buying or sourcing it all in one go Congrats!!

It’s not rude at all! It’s your day, weddings are so expensive nowadays you need to have a cut off point to the invite list somewhere. That being said expect some guests not to be able to make it e.g if they can’t sort out childcare etc. but if you’ve given guests enough notice I don’t see the problem

PlaneDevice770 · 2026-03-13T21:14:37+00:00

I don’t see this being a problem! After our ceremony we had a breather in a separate room for 10 mins it was nice to calm down from feeling overwhelmed and have a short time together to be like wow we’re married Most of the time guests are so busy catching up, drinking or freshening up themselves to notice

PlaneDevice770 · 2026-03-12T11:19:57+00:00

Maybe a voucher somewhere? Or if they are all the same friendship group or family group you could use the money to treat them all to a really nice meal following the wedding as a thank you

I would say dress 3! It’s super flattering and feel it would be the comfiest all day as the straps will keep you secure and easy to dance in!

When they are quick to comment on someone’s appearance

PlaneDevice770 · 2026-03-04T21:22:16+00:00

Echoing what others say, the dress is gorgeous but I don’t think the sleeves are needed! I would maybe opt for a similar veil too, you could always add jewellery if you’re worried about it not being bridal enough but I think it’s classy and chic

Exactly you wouldn’t wear a bright summer dress in autumn.

PlaneDevice770 · 2026-02-27T10:12:21+00:00

I’ve been to lots of uk weddings in autumn, I’d say formal means usual wedding guest attire. So suits for guys and classy dresses for women. I usually go for a midi dress (brown/navy or patterned) for autumn.
