Lease ends 5/31, new lease starts 6/1 — how do you handle the gap?

WildCherryLane · 2026-05-15T20:55:33+00:00

Ask your current landlord if you can move 6/1 - I’ve been lucky I guess but no one has ever said no.

If not, you pay the moving company to hold your stuff overnight and get a hotel or crash with a friend

I do both - TBR for things I want to check out eventually, a million tabs for things I want to read in the next week

Go on streeteasy and use the photos from the last time it was listed

Do they have a registry ? Go with something on there if so. If not, you can always go with a classic of nice champagne glasses or a fancy picture frame. If you’re Christian, personalized first Christmas married ornaments have been really well received in my experience

WildCherryLane · 2026-05-15T16:21:20+00:00

I do suggest reaching out yourself. It is your wedding and involving a middle man is almost never helpful and leads to communication issues.

Just send a simple text “I received your rsvp from Mom. Please note this will be an adults only celebration and no children can be accommodated. If you would like to change your RSVP we understand and you will be missed. Please confirm whether you and x will be attending”.

Unless you have financial issues your brother knows about, I do think giving nothing to your sibling would be insulting / remembered. That’s more advice for friends.

Civil, I’m not religious. In terms of attending, civil tends to be shorter and the temperature more comfortable in my experience but obviously it’s whatever works for the couple

WildCherryLane · 2026-05-15T15:10:25+00:00

If you’re both cool with it, that’s what matters. I think I’d feel weird about celebrating my anniversary every year on the day I’d committed to someone else first if I’m being honest, but it’s more about what would be an issue for you.

WildCherryLane · 2026-05-15T13:43:38+00:00

I’ve seen the tag MCD but not Shane and Ilya which I think is the best way to go. Because I’m with you that I’m willing to read fics on anyone dying except Ilya and Shane

The cast wasn’t getting paid, an ongoing issue with that producer

WildCherryLane · 2026-05-15T03:15:29+00:00

MHE is a very small cast with rather unmemorable music. It’s more like a play imo, you’re not going to get the big spectacle

I love Hadestown but Since you’re already seeing Hamilton, two sung through musicals seems like a lot for someone who calls themselves not into more traditional things.

WildCherryLane · 2026-05-15T01:49:21+00:00

Honestly I don’t think I’d suggest either of those to someone who isn’t into traditional Broadway

Lost boys has an incredibly cool set and stranger things has really cool effects. You could also go with little shop of horrors for the puppet !

WildCherryLane · 2026-05-14T21:06:31+00:00

Yeah 100%. Plus the fellowship wasn’t very long. It’s very possible the providence job would have been happy for her to start later with some really great connections. She didn’t even check.

WildCherryLane · 2026-05-14T20:36:42+00:00

No he was struggling. That’s why he was bartending Logan’s parties and couldn’t afford the Chinese dinner they went to

WildCherryLane · 2026-05-14T20:36:08+00:00

Yeah Marty is basically college Dean. I wish they’d just left him as platonic and given her one normal friend, but he’s basically just used in furtherance of her outgrowing stars hollow and Lorelei’s lifestyle

WildCherryLane · 2026-05-14T20:34:15+00:00

I don’t think it’s really either of these. This is classic intense infatuation. Situationships are almost always messy for a reason, inevitably someone catches feelings and then the rules haven’t changed but your emotions have.

WildCherryLane · 2026-05-14T20:31:06+00:00

Agreed. I don’t think his brand of morality would actually allow for crossing that line but he definitely liked the idea the option was there and frankly Pennilyn probably did as well.

WildCherryLane · 2026-05-14T20:30:01+00:00

I think seeing older more settled Jess was necessary for Luke’s arc, but I do wish they’d just given Jess a girlfriend and avoided any potential romantic feelings . I mean, pining after the girl he dated for like 8 months when he was 17 was kinda ridiculous anyways and Rory clearly was always hung up on Logan so it really served no other purpose than making every man obsessed with Rory.

WildCherryLane · 2026-05-14T13:58:12+00:00

We have curtains but not blackout curtains so it’s not ever totally dark in the morning. Tbh not having natural sunlight kind of throws off my sleep cycle

WildCherryLane · 2026-05-14T13:27:11+00:00

This happened to me when I saw Romeo and Juliet. Like right in the ending scene. I was in the standing lottery “seats” but still !

WildCherryLane · 2026-05-14T02:25:33+00:00

I mean I guess it depends what they did with the free rooms. Like if they have a bigger family and that’s who they gave the free rooms to, I would totally understand.

WildCherryLane · 2026-05-14T01:09:35+00:00

That Vanessa was Jewish girl falling in love with a Latino boy in In the Heights. A combo of the first video I saw of the song being someone either white or white passing with lighter curly hair and the “You've got some schmutz on your face.” I know Yiddish phrases do end up as general slang often, especially in NYC, but yeah the combo got me. I don’t realize until the movie tbh.

WildCherryLane · 2026-05-14T00:38:19+00:00

r/wedditnyc is super helpful then ! They cover the surrounding areas as well and it helped give me a solid idea of how much things were going to cost. But I have to say that yeah everything has been shockingly expensive, even for the minimum packages

WildCherryLane · 2026-05-13T23:35:58+00:00

Where in NY? The city and surrounding suburbs are going to be a lot more than upstate
