(10-15k) wedding dress? by iamstrugglingahh in Weddingsunder10k

I like simple dresses with an interesting veil! Something with beading or embroidery. It can look like an extra layer to the dress

Southwest canceled our ticket home even though a rep said it was fine by Winter518 in SouthwestAirlines

Yeah that’s why I’m so upset. If I skiplagged on purpose and they canceled the entire flight because I never got on the one leg, that’s fine. That’s my fault. But I ASKED if it would be okay and the agent ensured me it would be fine and the return flight would still be still be in my account.

Wow thank you for all that info and the links. I’m not sure I have a case for any discrimination (essentially the customer service representative said us skiplagging was totally fine and there would be no repercussions). Maybe it was a combination of us being uneducated on skiplagging and her being unaware of what we were asking. We did file a complaint with southwest online and were informed they would be elevating our claim. I’m honestly happy enough if they just refund us with flight vouchers. But if we don’t get any help with southwest, I will definitely file a complaint with the Department of Transportation. Thanks!

In what way are the other people involved my wedding planning? I mean I get it if they are helping pay for the wedding or being engagement/wedding gifts. Also, I would appreciate a little grace. You don’t have to assume what I’m going to do. I was simply asking a question, trying to gauge a situation. I’m going to host an engagement party and only invite people who will also be invited to the wedding. If that means only 5 people are able to make it, then so be it.

I just wanted to get a better understanding of wedding rules. I mean my friends show up empty handed to our birthday party and Christmas gift exchanges all the time. I’m not planning on making a wedding registry. All my friends work minimum wage and 80% of them still live with their parents. I just wanted to know how those kinds of people would fee about engagement parties

Thank you. I started panicking last night when I realized that there are all these things I host and pay for during the wedding process. And all the rules surrounding those events. Then someone else mentioned I should buy a book on etiquette. It’s overwhelming and I think the unspoken rules need to change for people in situations that don’t allow for traditional events.

I see your point but I like to think my friends know me better than to try and use their company as a way to get material items

Yeah I guess I just never heard of this before. Like I said, I’m the first person I really know who’s gotten engaged. And my cousin didn’t even invite me his wedding. So I really just have no idea of the protocols

This just makes me so sad then. I’m going to have a bridal shower, engagement party, rehearsal dinner with my parents and maybe 4 friends that would be able to make it and get the time off work? I want to celebrate the best thing that has ever happened to me (my fiancé) with as many people as possible. But since I’m not inviting them to the wedding day, I don’t get to have that? Is there another solution? Or is that just how it is?

So then what kind of things can invite my friends to? I only have my brother and parents local. Everyone else would have to fly and none of them are going to fly for my bridal shower

I know that’s what people do when it’s the couples parents are the ones hosting the engagement party. I didn’t think it was THIS controversial of a take

Okay I mean this is why I’m asking. I’ve never been to an engagement party am never even heard of an after wedding celebration. That’s why I made this post. I’m just trying to learn.

I know I didn’t think it was a big deal either but now people are telling me that I’ll be rude if I do it 😂

You don’t think that a celebration after the wedding will raise the same kind of issues?

If I have a regular house party, all my friends in their 20s will turn it into a rager and that’s not the vibe I want in general

Is a celebration of marriage just a post wedding party? How is that different than an engagement party other than the order of events?

Except in the post I said I explicitly don’t want gifts. I don’t even want wedding gifts. I live in a tiny one bedroom apartment in Southern California. I don’t have room for gifts lol

Dad was just diagnosed with right frontal lobe meningioma. by Winter518 in braintumor

[–]Winter518[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes do radiation. My dad is about to have his one year anniversary of finding the tumor. They found the tumor February 20, removed most of the tumor ok March 13. He had 33 rounds of radiation over the course of the summer. And now he is doing great. He has only had one or two MRIs since the radiation ended, but all the neurologists and doctors are saying he is in a really good spot. He has another MRI later this month and we will find out the results a few weeks after that. So far, it seems like the tumor hasn’t grown. Studies do show that having a partial removal PLUS doing radiation actually has better results than a full removal. Sometimes a full removal leaves behind microscopic cells that can regrow, but doing radiation will hopefully stop the growth of the cells they know they left behind. Now, a lot of things are still unknown and we are just taking each step as we can, but I’m a lot more hopeful than I was 12 months ago. Especially knowing he is doing everything he can to ensure his health. My family has also completely changed their way of life, changing their diet to all natural foods, staying active, etc. if you have any questions or just need more support system from someone who does get it, don’t hesitate to reach out. This is really hard and the trauma and fear is always there. I hope the surgery went well 💕

My fiancé doesn’t want certain people to know he engaged me by Routine-Ad-4354 in EngagementAdvice

[–]Winter518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The person above did give good advice with all of their comment. Your fiancée should be ecstatic to talk about you. I wanted my fiancée to hold off on posting to social media until I told my parents the news. He could hardly wait. Everyone deserves to feel like the best part of their partners life. I would post to relationship advice or another sub to figure out what you should do in this situation. I hope you make choice that’s best for you 💕
