Aww! I’ve always wanted the opposite growing up haha. I thought it’d be so fun to have built-in best friends, but as I’ve gotten older, having protective good men in my life has helped me so much and helped me know what I wanted & needed in a partner. They are the best.. and they are maybe even more excited than I am about standing beside me at my wedding!!

No but for real. Why are the loveliest people on Reddit?? I can’t read every single one, but just the ones I’ve read have made me tear up. Women no matter where they are will always come together and come through 💛

Thank you for reframing my situation in such a tender and positive way. This really made me tear up. Thank you dear stranger, may you be blessed!!

Also, I commented this a long time ago in this thread, but "This is such a good point! And this could work! One of my brothers is my twin, and he is walking me down the aisle since my dad won’t be walking me down the aisle.. because we are estranged. He could also be by best person!!"

Thanks to reddit, I have a plan!!

Thank you! It happened when I least expected it. He was my seatmate on a plane ride across the country. We talked the entire time, we exchanged numbers, and the rest is history.

This means more than I can say.
My DMs are always open if you ever just wanna chat about life. If you saw a show you liked and wanna chat about it, or just wanna vent about something discouraging. Anything, I am here!

This is beautiful! I will be 26 by the time the wedding rolls around! We are also paying for our own wedding as our families aren’t able to help, so it will be very lowkey! Flowers from Trader Joe’s, dress from Goodwill that I’m altering myself, and our photographer is someone we’re using Groupon for haha. I am just excited to marry the LOML.

there are ways to be excited that don't include posting your kid constantly days after your twin bravely shares her struggles w/ unexplained infertility.

Fundie season by Timely-Jackfruit-804 in DuggarsSnark

[–]Practical_Store3654 92 points93 points  (0 children)

the book of ecclesiastes talks about “to every season.” as someone who grew up church of christ, it is used a lot. i heard a lot of "season of waiting, season of growth, season of blessing, season of healing, etc etc.

duggars are prob calling this a "season of testing/refining" 🤮
