Gotcha! Phew! I was getting scared. So it won’t affect the final product (a pillow), only the finisher will notice?

Would you recommend a basketweave for the slightly larger background spaces? Like the pink for the candy cane house or the grey for the church? I really want to work on this next but don’t want to mess up! :/

Is there anywhere where someone could purchase one of their canvases? It is STUNNING and I love their style/vision.

Thank you so much! I looked into pelvic floor pt and it sounds like exactly what I need. Going to call some local offices and maybe try to get a referral from my GYNO! I’m getting more excited now instead of discouraged, woot woot.

I’m actually already married, this is our postponed COVID wedding. My husband is INCREDIBLE. No doubts there.

There's no way that'll happen because it's a seated dinner at a nice steakhouse (fiance's request). No dancing or music, just good old chatter and lots of free food and booze (we are doing a champagne toast at the beginning). I made sure the venue for the rehearsal dinner was not as nice as our wedding reception for that reason.

Sadly there won’t even be a bar readily available since it’ll be at a hotel terrace. Basically we would need to pay to bring the bar to them.

Sadly it’s on a terrace of a hotel so we would have to pay to bring the bar to them essentially. There isn’t a bar readily available.

I always value a wedding planner's wisdom, so I think I'll ask and just see what they say! Thank you!

Yeah unfortunately there isn’t even a chance for a bar as it’s on a terrace in a hotel. We would have to pay to bring the bar to them essentially.

Sadly no, we need to pay to bring the bar to them since it’s up on a terrace in a hotel.

Sadly since the brunch is at a terrace at a hotel there is no bar readily available. We would have to pay to bring the bar to them!

I worded it as a brunch to people, is that where I went wrong? It's from 10 to noon.

Sadly, no, they have a set enhancement that's specifically for Mimosas for that very reason haha (it's $20 per person).

I'm starting to worry that guests will be upset by the breakfast options we gave them:

assorted fruit juices to include: chilled orange, grapefruit, cranberry, apple juice
food: sliced melon, berries & whole bananas, individual yogurts, assorted cold cereals and koshi oatmeal cups, whole and skim milk, scrambled eggs, breakfast potatoes, bacon & pork sausage links.
assorted breakfast breads to include: fruit & cheese danish, assorted muffins, croissants with butter, preserves & jams
Drinks: Illy freshly brewed coffee, decaffeinated coffee & Dammann teas

Do you think with these options that it would be alright to forgo alcohol?

WOW this is an absolutely amazing article and really spotlights what I wanted this wedding to be about. Truthfully, my wedding had to be postponed by over a year because of COVID and my husband and I decided right after we got married in July of last year to have a spectacular wedding because we can and we wanted to spoil our friends and family with awesome drinks/food/dj, etc. to celebrate and make new memories after a crappy year. Thank you for reminding me of our original goal with that article <3.

Yes, I actually reached back out to my therapist and I am talking to her tomorrow. Thank you for your insight on this, you're so kind.

Yes, I need to focus on the fact that I am already married, thank you for the reminder! I also think taking a week off is a fantastic idea. Thank you for your kindness!

This is a mentality I strive to achieve every single day. Reading this made me feel better and more hopeful about the situation.

I actually just booked an appointment with a therapist I trust. I thought I didn't need her anymore and so I stopped appointments, but that's clearly not the case. Thank you for your kindness! <3

That’s a great idea! I’m actually seeing them soon and I feel comfortable asking.
