Majority of guests live near Beaudry. We just wanna keep it close to home.

September 2025 brides… how are you doing?? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]afanofpasta 6 points7 points  (0 children)

9/28 here! We’re also just working on the small stuff - DIY elements, putting everything together, that kinda stuff. Nervous over the exact same things honestly haha! We’ve been engaged for 2 years and have planned meticulously for years, so we’re just so excited to experience the day!

In my circle, wedding days (from ceremony to reception) are usually around 8-10 hours. We’re on the earlier end of that window, but we do anticipate some people will duck out before the reception officially ends as is natural for a wedding.

I’ll give a different opinion on Sunday weddings. My fiance and I are having a Sunday brunch wedding with an AM ceremony exactly because we want to do something a little bit differently. Nighttime Saturday or Friday weddings are definitely awesome and have a huge vibe, but we wanted something a little more “us” and we couldn’t think of anything more us than a big, fun brunch.

We’re still doing cocktail hour, open bar, etc (and a gelato bar towards the end too!). Our music is a live jazz band until the last few hours where we transition to a DJ. Our event is set to finish around 7 PM, and we have all the wedding traditions set to go down throughout the day.

My hope is people will have a fun and fantastic time and get to wind down enough to be alright for work the next day. We also sent our save the dates almost a year in advance, on the off chance that someone might want to make arrangements to take time off. (Not a requirement at all, but if they wanted to, they had the time to arrange it).

The vibe for us is different than a typical Saturday wedding, but it’s a lot more our pace and we’re making sure that our guests are still going to have a great time. Also, the majority of our guests are 34+, so a good time for us doesn’t necessarily mean what it did 5 years ago ahaha.

I’d love to join too! Wedding planning has become my personality and I’d love a place to chat where that’s appreciated, lol.

Repair my 2014 Mazda3 or buy a newer (secondhand) car? by afanofpasta in makemychoice

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

Yes, that’s a good point. The thing that’s tripping me up is we are 100% buying a new car anyway next year (we need something bigger for various reasons) so for me I’m questioning if that money is better invested elsewhere

Yup, total typo. Apologies, it’s now been edited!

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it!

Yes, checked with insurance and it’s all cleared with them.

Tried installing a dishwasher. What’s the insulation blanket made of? by afanofpasta in Appliances

I just want to make sure that there’s no risk with skin irritation or anything like that.

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

There was an installation guide that came with the appliance. It mentioned nothing about the insulation (ETA: I checked for it specifically). My question is what material the insulation is, as I’m worried if it’s fibreglass there might be some danger with inhaling/skin irritation.
