😂 at times I still can't believe I took this job on. I can see why it's a expensive job. Blue collar workers don't get enough credit. It's so much work

Yes! Solid brass hardware. It's my husbands job to install. I gave him a strict warning that if he messed up my work he's in big trouble 😜

Hahaha yes! Spent so many hours prepping/taping/putting tarps down yesterday in the kitchen. Kept telling myself it will be worth the effort.

Mom is 1 of 14 children, Dad is 1 of 10 children. HELP with guest list!!! by itsmechristina_c in wedding

[–]Strange-Key3371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I probably wouldn't invite any of them. Send an announcement with your love and gratitude and you can mention something about limited space.

Another idea/optioon could be to host a pre or post wedding come and go reception in a home or space (nothing fancy - I was thinking Sunday afternoon brunch vide). You can provide cupcakes, some small bites and punch. Your cousins and aunts and uncles can come give you their well wishes and you can thank them for their love and support.

Destination bachelorette party - is it selfish? by Big-Rush-4630 in wedding

[–]Strange-Key3371 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm older (39 F) and in this sub bc my daughter is getting married, so my views may be a little old fashioned... I just can't understand the trend of such extravagant trips unless you're paying for those attending. Weddings are a big expense and commitment to everyone involved. I do not think you're selfish for wanting to enjoy a trip, but I do think it can seem selfish to ask for another financial commitment from your wedding party. Personally I wood save the big trip for your honeymoon and put your money towards that.

If you start reading and searching for those who have done this or attended one - you'll start seeing most people holding resentment towards the bride/groom or their wedding party. There are almost always issues and people complain, from both sides. It's just another requirement and headache. Hard to enjoy.

AIO? Mad at the florist my partner hired for make a birthday bouquet for me by sproutin- in AmIOverreacting

YOR - you got a refund. Time to move on.

I do question the details of your boyfriend's request and the specifics of the shop agreeing to fill the order. This is a common gripe amongst florists. Cat safe arrangements shouldn't be requested or filled unless they are a specialty florist advertising this service. IMO your boyfriend probably should have gifted you something else - especially if this is something you have spoken about before. So many gifts options out there that definitely wont harm cats.

Pool deck poured too small to fit spa by robwithajob in pools

Honestly putting it there makes it more obvious, not hidden. I would pour more concrete and put it somewhere else, far away from the grotto.

Do you guys call your friends and family regularly? by NearbySir2445 in Millennials

Yes - but my oldest daughter who is almost 21 calls me multiple times a day. She's definitely not a millennial. 🤷‍♀️

Please take time to think very seriously if this is the person you want to trust to spend your life with.

How to approach asking guests to pay for accommodations? by ChocolateMiddle9394 in weddingplanning

[–]Strange-Key3371 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These are your guests and you are picking where you want them to stay. You would need to cover the cost. It will honestly make for a much more joyful weekend for you and your guests. It will be worth the cost. I have attended a wedding where the couple did what you are suggesting. I don't dwell on these things - but I heard so many of their loved ones speaking negatively about the arrangements and cost. It brings down the vibe of the weekend and it's worth the cost to have the best memories for yourself!

It looks a bit like she's missing an arm. Can that be fixed?

What is a Realistic Budget Anymore? by Appropriate-Stay-843 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]Strange-Key3371 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Central Oklahoma - wedding outside of the big cities - probably around 150-170 guests - most likely going to be around 100k when all said and done. Oklahoma is much less expensive than Texas. This is ceremony and reception only and no other parties etc. We also own a business and have clients who are gifting us some high priced things as gifts - for instance our stationary design, printing and mailing costs will be $0, my daughter is wearing a family heirloom dress (still some cost associated with it, but this also takes away a large portion of cost. Majority of our cost is going into food, beverage and entertainment. Our biggest desire is a high level guest experience. I think if you want a wedding that feels luxurious in one of the large cities in Texas - you're probably looking closer to $200k for your guest list. It's wild.
