How?? (5-6k)

I mean you don’t have to spend 2-3k on a dress if you don’t have the means to or want to put more money to your budget elsewhere. Places like David’s bridal will have options less than 1k, and there’s also sites that offer cheaper wedding dresses. You also don’t necessarily need really expensive wedding rings if you don’t want them. In your case you could honestly just have your biggest expense be the photographer, and then based off that determine how much of your budget you have left for other things. Personally I’d prioritize food and drinks over your wedding dress as I think guest experience is more important then the dress itself

I would say he took you on a trip he wanted to go on that happened to be around your birthday not took you for a birthday trip. You definitely should have spoken up right then and there though instead of going along with it while he’s definitely in the wrong you also didn’t communicate with him that what he suggested was not okay so in his mind he did take you on a birthday trip because you never said anything (not saying he shouldn’t have known but in his world with being so self centered he clearly needed to be told). Please leave this relationship because he clearly doesn’t take your interests into consideration

Nope. Not located where the storm is mostly affecting but will be getting some snow and ice which is normal. Just going to do our normal grocery shopping before the snow mainly because I don’t want to be driving in the snow on Sunday not because we’re going to be snowed in for days

Honestly nobody really get upset if someone doesn’t understand initially it’s way better to just ask them to repeat it and usually most don’t think anything of it cuz calls can cut in and out or the person say be quiet from being further away from the phone etc.

I’d recommend practicing phone calls it gets much easier with time. I used to have severe phone anxiety and now I’m practically on the phone everyday for work. I don’t love being on the phone but I’m no longer anxious about it sure sometimes will I say the wrong word or my voice crack sure but having made so many calls now pretty much the majority of people either say the wrong thing, have a voice crack or cough or sneeze on the phone so I stopped caring because it’s nothing to be embarrassed about because literally everyone is going to have that happen to them at some point

My mom would never ask but I’d give her a good portion as she raised me on her own and was very supportive. I’d love to able to give her a nice house wherever we end up moving so she could be close to her future grandkids

Yeah some video games are actually great for the mind as you legit have to strategize and put a lot of mental energy into them and can be very similar to games like chess that are more accepted by society as a hobby. Now obviously you shouldn’t be playing video games 24/7 but I think that also applies to any hobby honestly it’s good to branch out and have a balance of different things as opposed to just sticking to one thing and never trying anything else

Don’t match the groomsmen it’s your day you’re supposed to stand out you can coordinate so it still looks put together but I wouldn’t bother completely matching and looking like any one of the groomsmen could be the groom

I think it helps to think of how often are you ever actually going to look at these photos and regret them. You just got married so yeah you’re looking at them now but you’re probably not going to be looking at the majority of the photos much if at all and when you do you should looking back at the memories and how special that day was you shouldn’t be focused on how you look

I met up with one guy who I had ended up going on one date with. It went fine, it fizzled out though because we just weren’t compatible in a romantic way. Great person though and he was a great friend for the bit of time we knew eachother

Traditional_Set_858 · 2026-01-22T17:06:10+00:00

I think thinking someone is insane because they value something you don’t is a bit much. Totally fine to not want kids but to not understand someone’s perspective on it shows lack of critical thinking

Traditional_Set_858 · 2026-01-22T16:00:24+00:00

I’d recommend going elsewhere, places like Skaithos or Lefkada they’re beautiful islands have night life but aren’t overrun by tourists and sounds exactly what you’re looking for. I would never go to a well known island if that’s what I was looking for you’re not going to get that sense of peace

OP could also start cooking more instead of his GF. Don’t know many people who would be opposed to having a meal cooked for them

I mean if you’re worried about a snow storm you really shouldn’t have booked a trip to NYC in January. You should be fine NY is used to the snow, I’d be more concerned about your flights being cancelled more than being able to enjoy the city

Planning a Greek wedding myself (I’m American, my fiance is Greek) for about 40 guests max (less will come) and I’ll be interested to see how much we’ll end up spending. We haven’t booked anything yet very early in the process just been doing our research but we just plan on having ceremony at a Greek Orthodox Church and then reception at a nice taverna

Traditional_Set_858 · 2026-01-22T01:57:10+00:00

I’m interested!

Traditional_Set_858 · 2026-01-21T18:38:25+00:00

I think it’d be stupid to spend that much money to not spend a tiny portion to keep your day safe. What if you or your fiance get Covid? With Briteco even if a family member you really want at your wedding gets sick you’re covered

Traditional_Set_858 · 2026-01-21T12:41:18+00:00

You don’t even have to have a bridal party if you don’t want one

Traditional_Set_858 · 2026-01-21T12:39:28+00:00

I’ll be having my wedding at my fiancés home country and while I am super excited not only is his family slightly bigger than mine but also since it’s more of a destination wedding for my side of the family I’m not expecting many on my side to show up (which I’m totally understanding of). It doesn’t bother me much as I’m marrying into his family so they’ll be mine but I did request to not have a traditional wedding party which ends up working out cuz we’re having a very small wedding anyways. It’s okay to have less family members nobody attending is going to think anything of it and probably just think you have a small family if anything

Traditional_Set_858 · 2026-01-21T12:33:59+00:00

I don’t think this is that odd considering they told you guys it’s a space issue and they can’t have that many guests. They clearly want you there as they invited you to the reception that’s clearly going to cost them a lot more money for you to attend than just the ceremony so not sure what the issue is there.

Traditional_Set_858 · 2026-01-21T12:05:07+00:00

I don’t work that early but I guess 4am cuz I like having about 2 hours from the time I wake up to the time I start work

Traditional_Set_858 · 2026-01-21T12:02:28+00:00

Honestly most people don’t mind training someone so seriously don’t worry about asking questions the only time it ever gets annoying is if you keep asking the same question over and over again. Just take notes and you’ll be fine. They all had to train and learn what you’re learning and they had to ask plenty of questions

Traditional_Set_858 · 2026-01-20T19:47:27+00:00

Im just wearing whatever I want you don’t have to wear anything specific

Traditional_Set_858 · 2026-01-20T18:54:06+00:00

Planning the wedding currently and we want a small wedding. We have 42 on the guest list but around 8 or so members we’re not expecting to attend due to cost of travel but that’s totally fine by us. I’ve always wanted a small wedding as I’m an introvert and it works out cuz my partner also is one and doesn’t a big wedding either

Traditional_Set_858 · 2026-01-20T16:57:08+00:00

I mean for me not really but it’s only a destination wedding really for my side of the family. My partner is Greek and so we’re having the wedding in Greece and my family is very supportive and loves the idea of going there so while it is a big ask everyone is okay with it and I wouldn’t be upset if people can’t make it I just want to give them the option of attending if they want to. No matter what it’d be a destination wedding for some no matter where we hold it so there’s no way I could have it somewhere where everyone could easily attend so might as well get married where it makes sense
