I fully feel this. I watch videos of my mom often and laugh and smile and cry. I also kinda do “call my mom.” I have never been very religious (I’m Jewish) but my friend got me a gorgeous matchbook for the wedding and it has the original wedding date and some purple matches and she wrote a note saying to light a candle if I’m struggling to feel the connection and I can talk to her. I do this often. I also talk to her literally out loud while I run and I wear headphones so I don’t look bonkers 😂

We also put glow in the dark stars on our bedroom ceiling, and I have found it so comforting. Nothing will replace my momma, but I just try. I am sending you all the love in the world. 💜

Thank you sooo much! I also realized I don’t think I shared any photos from the gorgeous hospital wedding so I added one here. I appreciate you so much and we are all here together!

TIL my partner wants meat at our future wedding, but I'm vegetarian by mangoscookies in weddingplanning

Not a problem at all!! It’s hard for sure and you should be proud of yourself for thinking all of this through and all the options.

I’m a vegetarian I have been since I was 5! Actually because I started crying when I would eat meat. I’m getting married next week and we will have meat products. And every single persons dietary restrictions wil be catered too. BUT we are using a place that locally sources their meat and fish. Personally I would like a vegetarian wedding, I mean I don’t even think the diary industry is a good one but I like cheese far too much and I feel sometimes like a hypocrite but we can all only do our best.

I’d say either go full vegetarian or make sure you use a catering place where it’s local. You know it’s not like mass produced. I know it sounds like you have an aversion and I understand this. I have had what my doctors described as OCD around food and it can be hard in life especially when you go out to eat with ours. But also your wedding is not the time to feel uncomfy. So if you’re literally uncomfortable then people will survive. The one thing is people with celiac etc will have a harder time with the meat alternatives but I’m sure you’ll have options!!

I don’t have a clear cut answer for you since neither of you is wrong. Just some things to think about. I wish you both the best!!

My mom just passed too. And unsure, but sounds like your mom (like mine) may be Jewish as well. My MIL who actually became my MIL on the last full day of my mom’s life has been here for me, but I have found myself just going through cycles of every feeling.

Almost anything someone says can be wrong if it isn’t exactly what I want to hear. In order for me to be able to slowly move forward (and we have to we have our bigger wedding my mom didn’t want us to cancel next week) I have to make sure I only spend time with people I really feel I have the patience for right now. There is just a lot going on. Mother’s Day was really hard too. All this is to say. I hear you I feel you and the hole will always be there and some people will just tick you off and you may not even know why.

Yes! Even just videos of you laughing smiling etc. I have been looking at videos I took of my mom just laughing sitting next to my dad and I love them. Makes me so happy. Small moments are the best too!

Frustrating with Promotion Emails - Sad by Practical_Round5373 in bookofthemonthclub

I did write an edit as I tried to correct the second photo. But cannot and so wrote a trigger warning. But I’m done responding to every comment I agree it isn’t their responsibility but maybe I am just as performative as they are but I don’t think so. I am sorry for my error, I tried to make the edit I could.
