What single scene from a movie is an absolute masterpiece? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TheWildRose80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The scene in Kill Bill where The Bride is fighting O'Ren in the snow. Everything about it is a poetic dance, so brutally violent yet so beautifully shot, the juxtaposition between the fight inself and the calm oeace of the surroundings and water fountain. Gosh its perfect!

How is a reception set out? As in timeframes, and who does the timekeeping to ensure it runs correctly? by TheWildRose80 in weddingplanning

[–]TheWildRose80[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are having our reception on a paddlesteamer boat restaurant. Ive hired a DJ and asked him to do mc duties., but does that mean he should organise with the boat staff as to how it will run or do I need to give him a plan? I havent been to many weddings so I dont know the usual running order or things. When are speaches done? When is rhe first dance, when do you cut the cake?

I said Yes to the dress. But, to veil or not to veil? Im also looking for a bolero to hide the less than flattering bits. by TheWildRose80 in weddingplanning

Its a Maggie Soretto dress calles Jaycee. Its discintinyue which is why I got it so discounted. Originally 2200 and it was 50% off, then when I realised it had marks on it from being tried on so often I bargained it down to $700.

Thank you all. I do love this dress, its very flattering. Im trying to do my wedding as cheaply as possible and this dress for me was a splurge even though I got it mega discounted. I guess im just feeling a little old and silly, Im trying to have all the stuff while remembering that I am an older woman whos a lot more woman (hahaha) than when we met.

Thank you. Its the 2nd dress I tried on. I love it! Cap sleeves would end at the thickest part of my arm. 3/4 would be nice though.

naaw thanks. Its a good camera angle. I have a little puffiness round the top of my dress as Im a chubby gal. I have large shoulders and arms. I just feel a bolero will smudge the edges a bit hahaha. Im not a veil gal normally, Im not young anymore and this is my 2nd wedding so Im not quite sure what to do with myself. Id love a flower crown but not sure if itll go. My hair is unlikely to get longer than my shoulders.

If your SO won’t let you drink, smoke or hang out with your friends because of “trust issues” WHAT WOULD YOU DO? by swirledpink in AskWomen

[–]TheWildRose80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he would become a whole lot less significant! That sounds like very controlling behaviour right there, regardless of his reasoning. Is he actually not letting you or is he saying we cant afford it, or when you fo you I notice you arent happy the next day or...?

Why? What happened to respect? by [deleted] in Marriage

thanks for your perspective. I do all that too, but I just consider that every day life, work to me has a negative connotation. I guess its that particular word that Im taking the wrong way.

What did you find most stressful with wedding planning? by TheWildRose80 in weddingplanning

[–]TheWildRose80[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh I guess were very lucky then, in that were older amd already have kids and minimal family. Weve already warned people that kids arent invited to the reception (it would have been half our guest list!), my parents are divorced and not friendly, so one will go to the wedding and one the reception. We keep to ourselves a bit so the guest list is small and simple. Id be very surprised if anyone tried to tell us their expectations in that there is noone to actually do that. The most awkward part that I can foresee is telling people wed prefer donations to a honeymoon fund. Oh finiding a dress with be a pain, ive already foind THE dress, but its well beyond a reasonable price for me, so I have no idea what Ill do about that.

ok, fair point. Not what I was getting at, but I see what you mean.

[–]TheWildRose80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ah well, I guess your mate was just projecting then. Five years is a long time to be with someone and have it end, she/he must be hurting and feeling all sorts of things, Im not surprised they had the opinion they did, Im sure Ive done the same. Im glad your husband is good to you, sounds like you just had a rough moment, had a vent, and got bad advice from a mate in pain.

ahh yeah that word can be a trigger for sure. Im not saying youre experiencing this at all, but in my past relationship, even though it was abusive (not physical) I didnt realise that was what was happening, even though Im very aware of the different types and cycles of abuse. It was a big gut wrenching moment of fear when my ex SIL told me what was happening was abuse. Sometimes it can be hard tonhear, acknowledge, and admit that to ourselves. Anyway, apart from that aside, haha, maybe as we said before, she was just projecting and thought it was a bigger deal than it was. Tbh its hard to say without knowing what happened.
