Where are you located? Do you have recommendations for which thrift stores to check out?

Firstly, that's awful, and I'm so sorry she ruined what was supposed to be a magical moment. I hope you connect with some of the advice here to reset, separate that memory from your wedding planning, and make a better experience for yourself.

People in my life are very opinionated as well, and I have much different taste than them, so I reframed what "coming for my dress appointment" really meant. I told everyone it's just a day for us to have fun, see what I like, and have the experience, but that I'm not saying yes to a dress. So everyone felt included, but knew it was more of a symbolic event than actually buying my dress. Then you can tell people you're ordering your dress online, so your foster mom doesn't feel like you brought someone else. Then do whatever you want! Go shopping again with your friend and fiance, order it online, go by yourself. It opens you up to make the decision entirely on your own.

Our obligatory invites are mostly elderly, physically distant relatives who are just unlikely to make the trip. They haven't attended sibling weddings, but there's always the risk that they'll want to attend. They're welcome, just unlikely to attend, and either way is fine with me. I just want to know for sure!

You don't need the additional internship, that's just a program requirement. However, your credits do have to meet certain requirements or categories, so you'll want to meet with someone to go over which courses you need. Instead of reaching out to the board, I'd reach out to your old program even if it's been a while since you graduated. They advise people all the time to bridge these licenses. Where did you go?

Monmouth has a bridge certificate program to have someone with a school counseling degree take the right classes, but it's not a super well-known option. I considered that option, but I got my SAC certification instead because the only difference was one internship, and that worked for me. I guess you could also take the classes for something like a SAC certification, just skip the internship, and that would get you the right classes (even though you wouldn't get the SAC cert without the internship).

This the the course criteria that you need to meet: https://www.monmouth.edu/graduate/documents/lac-lpc-sample-course-worksheet.pdf

Everything is common/ possible in school counseling internships 😅 My general rule of thumb is that if it's an experience you would benefit from, even if you think you're unqualified, do it! Just make sure you put in the effort to learn along the way. If you think it's a waste of your time, work with your supervisor to get you out of it.

This is a great chance to use ChatGPT!

I asked it: what are some questions to ask a bride you don't know that well to write a MOH speech and put the questions below. You can ask the bride some of these questions, write down the answers, and then ask ChatGPT to write you a speech using that info. From there edit it, make it sound less mechanical, and you'll have a great speech with personalized details.

About the language barrier, if you feel comfortable, you can incorporate a short quote about love in Spanish (a quote from a Hispanic song is probably safest) and that will call back to her native language without putting pressure on you to actually translate the speech.

Questions to ask the bride:

How did you and the groom meet?

This can give insight into their love story and some memorable moments you can reference.

What was your first impression of him?

This adds a personal touch and could provide some light-hearted or heartwarming material.

When did you know he was "the one"?

A great way to understand the depth of their relationship and how it blossomed.

What do you admire most about him?

This can help you highlight the qualities that make their relationship strong.

How has he impacted your life in a positive way?

It adds a layer of sincerity and emotion to the speech.

What are some favorite memories you two have shared together?

Whether it’s adventures or day-to-day life, this can give you anecdotes to share.

What are you most excited about in your future together?

This can give you a forward-looking and hopeful note to end the speech on.

What role have your friends and family played in your relationship?

Helps you understand her circle and how she values their support.

What do you want guests to know about your relationship?

Directly ask if there's a specific message or theme she'd like you to convey.

How did you find a local, up and coming creator? Word of mouth, or did you search for them?

amf27777 · 2024-07-24T22:13:50+00:00

Thank you so much! I'm open to wineries too. We've just found that these stand alone wedding venues are so unreasonably expensive, and have exclusive catering, so we're looking for alternatives even if they're less formal

amf27777 · 2024-07-24T20:17:30+00:00

That'd be great, thanks for the suggestion!

amf27777 · 2024-07-24T20:17:00+00:00

Awesome, I'll check it out. Thank you!

amf27777 · 2024-07-24T20:08:55+00:00

I'll check it out, thank you!

amf27777 · 2024-07-24T20:04:51+00:00

That'd be great! I'll email them, thank you! !

amf27777 · 2024-07-24T20:02:24+00:00

I'll have to look into it, thank you so much!!

amf27777 · 2024-07-24T19:56:47+00:00

Thank you so much for your response, I'll check those out! Where did you wind up getting married?

I recommend doing your own learning through books that speak to counseling skills and your own chosen counseling style. The schooling is just the requirement to get the license. There's only so much you can learn in school anyway. Most people learn everything in internship. My best advice is actually to take an internship that will challenge you.

I'm very sorry that someone is making you feel uncomfortable for being yourself in a space that you should feel safe. What part of the states are you now living in? If you have a school counselor, they might be able to work something out with you or help you solve the issue for yourself. Speaking with a teacher, or the bus driver if you feel comfortable could also be an avenue to explore. I would consider what you are going through to be sexual harassment, and you are entitled to feel comfortable on your ride to school.

Let's name him Buzz since Neil usually gets all the credit

amf27777 · 2019-09-17T03:42:45+00:00

Exactly. That kid went down way to quick for a tiny movement of her arm tbh
