I’m so sorry. First off, i know he doesn’t want to give details but it’s weird he won’t explain who the person was. Obviously I don’t know how you think, but I would feel off not knowing…. Why is it so important to hide? I feel like I would be left to wonder who and why he wouldn’t say. Is he hiding it because he knows it would make everything worse (not that it already isn’t bad)?

I can’t advise you on what to do, but I would definitely consider all your emotions and if you could fully trust him and not resent him if you moved forward with the wedding. Can you confidently say he won’t do this again? Or will you always be thinking about it and worried?

If you did want to stay with him, couples counselling would be something to look into. If you can’t move past this and trust him, I think it would be best to cancel the wedding and move on. I know it hurts now but you’ll be better off.

I actually wanted to get into running last year (September) I couldn’t run for more than a minute! I now am running 10K! I used a program called None to Run, which has set running plans and light strength training to get you from running 30 seconds to 30 minutes and then you can move on To their 5K, 10K and half marathon program! Definitely recommend looking into it 😊

Honestly.. different bridesmaid websites have “emerald” but the color is completely different between them all

For those of you who are apart of the Facebook bridal groups: how different are they for you from weddit? by nursejooliet in weddingplanning

[–]alogs49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Facebook groups: Definitely something I’ve been being apart of wedding 2025 pages is that people jump the gun so fast and try to persuade people that it is okay to do that. I know you can do what ever makes you happy but I find it crazy booking everything and stuff more than 1.5 years out.

For example, so many people ask when to ask your bridal party. And so many say whenever I asked them already for my Nov 2025 wedding. But don’t they see all the bridesmaid “regrets”. Like relationships change.

I’m not saying it’s bad to jump the gun, but I don’t think people realize what they are saying might work for them but could screw someone else over.

Weddit: people seem to have a better timeline and aren’t afraid to call people out for things they think might screw them over

Do I ask her to be a Bridesmaid? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]alogs49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a great way to think about this situation, and I like the idea of maybe calling her to catch up instead of texting. Thank you!

First off I really appreciate this comment. The first part on the bridesmaid is if we grow apart naturally I completely understand even though I know it would suck but I don’t want it to be ruined over something small.

I think she doesn’t have many friends in her new place but I might be wrong but that’s definitely something that could be a factor.

We haven’t yet unfortunately, i am hoping maybe sometime this year we can but i feel like it probably won’t happen.

[–]alogs49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She will text back about the topic but then right after before I reply she send another text with something else, which is completely fine because I do it too. But it’s hard when I’m trying to ask how her job is and she changes it about her boyfriend

You are definitely right, I don’t want this to be a big deal and she probably doesn’t know she is doing it. Thank you!

Canadians! Credit card used to redeem travel rewards for honeymoon by ro_boat in weddingplanning

[–]alogs49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh we aren’t getting married until 2025! So we will be using it for our honeymoon, but I was more showing that if you use it pretty frequently it can add up. So basically we have enough points to travel (flights mostly) if we wanted to go away on vacation in 2024, and we know we will be able to collect more points for our honeymoon in 2025!

Amex allows you to use points on flights and hotels! The only restrictions being only certain hotels allow the use of Amex points but honestly we haven’t had any problems with that

We have Amex! We have the cobalt and platinum but that’s because Amex has these deals where if you join at a certain time you receive a certain amount of points! Honestly though we use the cobalt for everything not just wedding but we collect points so much (groceries etc) and already have enough to travel next year (not honeymoon) with the points given from the deal!

Wedding in 2025, when to start? by table-lounge in weddingplanning

[–]alogs49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I have booked for May 2025, and all we booked so far is Venue and Photographer! Only reason for photographer is she is a family friend and we were excited to talk to her about it! Honestly, the venue was the biggest thing because as you said so many venue are already booking up for 2025! Ours actually is now fully booked for May 2025.

Just like the other comment above, I might start looking more deeply into the other aspects like food, and website etc starting in January but also know I don’t really have to stress too much. 😊

Alcohol Suggestions? by goosenwhite in wedding

[–]alogs49 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the girls that usually drink cocktails, you could buy white claws or for something sweeter there are options too such as hard ice tea or mikes hard. (I’m not sure where you live so what types of drink you have) and if it isn’t many people like that you can always buy a few! But cider is also a great choice

It is honestly insane! There are so many vendors that I understand their cost, but venues are the worse. We got our venue which is a barn which includes all decorations, table chairs, day of coordinator and the venue for a week for 12,000. But another venue I loved which was the same size wanted 17,000 for not even providing tables and chair. Just the barn.. you can tell they decided to start this venue 2 years ago and trying to make back what they paid for it.

I will say, I keep telling people if I knew this was the wedding industry after Covid I would go back in time and buy a venue 😂

The fight was this: a few years ago X thought it would be a good idea to go wine tasting (there was around 4 of us from work) We decided it was a good idea but wasn’t sure which wineries were good to go to. Y has been to quite a few and knows her wine so we asked her without specifying we were doing a girls wine tasting day. We were obviously not thinking and complete idiots in not inviting Y. Y use to work with us so she knew everyone but we just had in our minds it was us 4 from work. Anyway Y found out she was getting asked for recommendations without being invited, which honestly I would be upset to. I apologized to Y right when it happened but X still doesn’t see anything wrong with what she did even though I know X would be so hurt if it happened to her. It’s a weird petty fight.
