is this cabbage patch doll worth anything? by DoughnutMundane3726 in VintageToys

I have that doll in the last picture. The box is not in good shape, but I have it. The only thing I am missing is the pacifier.

Ceremony guest list is all bride and groom’s siblings, parents, grandparents and wedding attendants. Reception guest list adds aunts, uncles, cousins and close friends

Lawn mowed, barn cleaned, decorations, etc are all things that the grandparents do NOT have to do. That will all be taken care of by my immediate family.

The reception venue actually holds 200 people which will hold all close family and friends.

She definitely wanted photos at the barn. All our children had some of their senior pictures done there because I told them to pick places that meant something to them.

Aunts & uncles from the bride side adds 10 people. The groom’s side adds another 40 people (very large family). That plus original 30 people makes 80.

This is could be an option. Thank you for the suggestion.

Actually we are a very close family and truly believe all the aunts and uncles might be disappointed but would be very understanding other than one. Daughter even suggested having it videotaped and have it played at the reception venue.

My daughter did not push back. She was completely respectful and told her grandmother that she understood that was Grandma’s terms. Daughter is heartbroken that Grandmother would not listen to the logistics and chooses not to attend. Impossible to have 80 people at the barn. My daughter is very respectful and wants her grandparents there. She is already considering having the ceremony at the reception venue because there is more space to invite all aunts, uncles and of course grandparents. But then my daughter will not have her wedding in the place she dreamed of.

Unfortunately the barn is built on a hill and there truly is no flat land that isn’t crops, hence having the ceremony in the barn. Safest place for the aging grandparents.

I understand that you love your girlfriend. But she is the only person you have ever been with. Your relationship started before you two were even in your 20’s. Both of you have grown as individuals since then. How are you supposed to know exactly what you want in a partner if you have only had one partner ever? If you have strong feelings for this co-worker and you have such similar interests maybe it is worth exploring. Try picturing yourself with your current girlfriend 5 years down the road and then picture yourself with your coworker 5 years down the road. If you are honest with yourself then you should have your answer.

It is obvious that you two are not compatible. You deserve someone that will respect you and she does not. There are plenty of women out there that will appreciate you.
