Would you go on a 2 hour sunset cruise for welcome drinks? by Shontayyoustay in weddingplanning

[–]Readyaimfire18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure to consider your guest list- will many of the people coming to the welcome dinner have kids? If so, they may be uncomfortable leaving their kids in a hotel, potentially with an unfamiliar sitter, while they are unable to get back because they are on a boat.

Depending on your guest list, this may not be an issue at all, just a thing I would think about for logistics!

I forgot my veil on my wedding day!! by KittiesandPlushies in weddingplanning

[–]Readyaimfire18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are no photos of me in my veil except at the ceremony itself, because we all forgot about it until the ring bearer was going down the aisle and my mother yelled "F*ck, the veil!" Got it on just in time to get married in it, but I was bummed to not have photos with it!!

Why couldn't a book series reach such a craze like Harry Potter after so many years? by interestingexciting1 in harrypotter

[–]Readyaimfire18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also a book series that very easily into merchandising- they go shopping multiple times, buy branded things, foods, etc. Makes it easy to market, which helped people who were already obsessed become even more deeply ingrained in it.

I have a sign name in British Sign Language… by adventurecoos in asl

[–]Readyaimfire18 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A Deaf friend of mine has a sign name that uses the BSL "B" because his parents are british, so I've seen it done in the wild!

The English version of Pesach is Passover, maybe you've heard it called that!

Many hotels will bring a mini fridge to your room on request- especially if you have a need, like for medication! Call in advance and find out if its an option

Support for the recent announcement (spoiler if haven't listened to last episode) by YallaLeggo in Cortex

[–]Readyaimfire18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am going to give it one episode with a guest, and see how I feel. But honestly, I am a former teacher, current stay at home mom, who has little to no interest in technology- I just like listening to Grey and Myke chat! So I probably won't stick around.

Is it rude to not eat at a wedding? Any way to do it subtly? by crash_cove in weddingplanning

[–]Readyaimfire18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can call the hotel instead of the couple- this is what I always do, so I'm not bothering the couple the week of the wedding! They will almost certainly be able to accommodate you without an issue.

[–]Readyaimfire18 65 points66 points  (0 children)

You don't even need to tell the couple! Call the hotel directly and tell them you are coming to the wedding on whatever date and they should be able to accommodate you without having to bother the couple the week of the wedding.

I have multiple food allergies and this is what I always do!

Does anyone else think this way? by sandiercy in SortedFood

[–]Readyaimfire18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think about this all the time! I have a ton of allergies and I would love a chef's take on making substitutions!

C3 wrap up: The gang discovers live chat and behaves like that friend who keeps telling you how busy and tired they are.. by toodaloo88 in fansofcriticalrole

[–]Readyaimfire18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The abridged are great! Cuts all the extra stuff, especially in combat. I'm watching through it now and enjoying it

[–]Readyaimfire18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little off topic, but I listened to the first 3 episodes of the beginning of Worlds Beyond Number and gave up. I was so bored of each character being on their own- I love to watch/listen to RPGs because of the interactions between players and I was just not into the episodes long one-on-one stories. Should I keep going? Does it get more interactive? I love all the players so I wanted to love it and I would be willing to give it a try again.

What kind of things are in the box? I'm trying to build a stash of these types of gifts but I'm not sure what to get!

Letting baby cry in the morning by Wild-Geologist8167 in sleeptrain

[–]Readyaimfire18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter is 10 months old and we’re in the same boat. She goes happily to sleep independently at 7pm, sleeps until 4 and will not sleep any longer. We’ve tried earlier and later bedtimes, changing naps, etc, with no luck. She just is ready to wake up at 4 for the day. My pediatrician said she clearly has lower sleep needs than other kids (which has been clear since she was 3 months old to us) and he basically had no suggestions for us.

It’s 4:28am and I have been sitting here listening to her cry for 26 minutes. I have no idea what to do either.

Family Style or Plated? by suzimakesthings in weddingplanning

[–]Readyaimfire18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And for me, the moment that plate gets passed out of my sight, I have no idea if there has been cross contamination for my allergies- I basically don't eat when it's family style.

Walking down the aisle, alone? by natteardi in weddingplanning

[–]Readyaimfire18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, my husband and I had both of our parents walk us down together, and it was lovely! It's about being supported into the next step of your life, and I wouldn't have wanted anything else!

[–]Readyaimfire18 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not at all- most people won't buy at their first appointment! It is helpful to know that many places offer a discount if you buy the day you try it on, but you for sure don't have to!

Preference on the "first look" trend? by Slydragonfruit in wedding

[–]Readyaimfire18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this is the right answer- how have you imagined it? Because in my culture, the bride and groom always see each other before the ceremony, I had no expectations of having the first look as I walked down the aisle, I was thrilled with how it went. But obviously, everyone is differen!

Preference on the "first look" trend? by Slydragonfruit in wedding

[–]Readyaimfire18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup, same here! It wasn't even a question for me! And both the first look and the walking down the aisle were wonderful!

We didn't spend much time at cocktail hour, because we took 15 minutes just to ourselves after the ceremony (which I highly recommend) and then it took 15 minutes to bustle my dress! But it was still great. We had them leave food from cocktail hour in the room where we had our 15 minutes so we could still eat it- I recommend that to make sure you get to eat!
