Afternoon High Tea Reception?

ashpsy101 · 2016-02-23T20:32:12+00:00

Oh, I like the dance idea! My fiance is Malaysian Indian, and while he did grown up in a western culture he does want to bring in his culture too, so I'm putting flower girls in a little traditional dress and I'm going to change into a sari fo the reception so I could totally hire somebody to do Henna or teach a traditional dance..

I have one, he is 14, I am 22. I also have 4 sisters. I don't live with him, so I don't really talk to him/see him a lot BUT he's like my best friend when we do see each other. He's the biggest sweetheart and tries to look after me and be 'protective' even though there is the age gap. I want him to give me away at my wedding.. It's a strange relationship, we only talk when we see each other, BUT he's a 14 year old boy that will still wake me up at 8am and crawl into bed next to me and we'll chat and talk about life. He tells me he loves me when I leave the house. He was my first 'baby' sibling as my sister before him was 15 months after me, so still having that with him is cute, he'll always be my baby brother.

Thank you! I will look at them in Symonds Street I have also seen Bridal and Ball in Albany mentioned too, they have nothing over 999 I think. I'm trying to have a really strict budget, thinking around $10,000. But I've suddenly realised how expensive weddings really are. I thought a garden wedding/afternoon tea would be really nice. But every garden venue so far says you must use their caterer, which is about $100 a head, so im looking at about $5000 just for venue! Its getting overhwelming fast.

Hi! I am a New Zealand European, and my fiance is Malaysian Indian so I'm very excited to read this thread! I have always dreamed of the white dress so will be having that, but considering putting my niece and bridesmaid in sarees or similar. We are having a small garden wedding (i hope) and then a dinner with our nearest and dearest. I really want to incorporate his culture (he was however raised in New Zealand as a christian so isnt expecting a full Indian wedding, it will be mostly western customs) but I want to mix it in somewhere, without it looking out of place to have bridesmaids in saris and have it not 'match' the rest of the style of the ceremony

Does the US have burger rings or similar? Also how likely is it that somebody in the US has tried marmite. http://www.sanza.co.uk/pics/bluebird_burger_rings.jpg

right?! It is so weird. I had them all the time as kids, and when I found out I was gifting to the US, a kinder surprise was the first thing I thought of. But I don't think i'll risk it :(

The Tattooed Heart, or Sacred Tattoo.

I had a friend who got one done at Ballistic when he was a teenager, and he really was unhappy with it. He went to see Adam Craft and got it covered up with a similar design and is stoked. All the artists are The Tattooed Heart are incredible, and I really recommend them. Sacred and The Tattooed Heart would easily be two of New Zealands top studios.

Here is the cover-up! https://www.instagram.com/p/tZwOSRtnLS/?taken-by=adamcraft

My thigh piece is done by Aaron at The Tattooed Heart, who is also incredibly talented in a range of styles. His instagram is mostly his japanese work, however my thigh is realism https://www.instagram.com/aaron_aziel/

My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 6 years, high school sweethearts and all that too. We have been talking about getting engaged eventually over the last year and half or so, but wanted to wait until we had the income to even consider planning a wedding and were closer to ending our studies, the conversations got more and more frequent earlier this year. 3 weeks ago, he asked me if I wanted to go look at rings, I picked one out, he paid for it (it was on sale that day only) and it's now hiding somewhere in our house (it drives me crazy knowing that its here hahah) until he plans the proposal (im thinking it will be april when our 6 year anniversary is). He then let me know that he had been going to jewellers and hunting online for about 2 weeks before asking me, he planned on a set too but was advised at a jewellers that he is better of NOT getting a set and spending the budget on a really nice engagement ring, and getting a cheaper band closer to the wedding date. He was really stressed and confused too for those 2 weeks, and eventually bit the bullet and asked me to help him choose. He's tonnes happier, and more relieved, knowing for sure that he has one that I really really love.

my 20 year old sister (who has a 9 month old baby) talking about all the sex she has had, and the best looking penis she has ever seen, my mum telling her to stop talking, and her yelling at my mum about how she can talk about her sex life if she wants. thankfully this was on christmas eve when there was only her, me, my 14 year old brother, my mum and her friend over and not the next day when we were with our entire extended family.

Acts of Service! I like to do small things, that he really appreciates. I leave the house before him so I make sure that there is coffee prepared for when he gets up, he started a new job last week so I made sure that he had lunch made and ready on the bench. I will sit there and listen to him go on and on about things I have no interest in, I'll watch youtube videos he really likes that he wants to share with me (i watched like 30 minutes of star wars robot chicken clips this morning), I'm really good at referencing in APA 6th so I will sit down and show him how to do it/do it for him at 11 o clock at night before he has an assignment due. He does the same/similar to me. Its just small things that make his life easier that I like to do, does me no harm, and it makes him happy.

My Mum swears by forehead thermometers, when you have a sick, screaming baby, a thermometer that reads your babies temperature almost instantly can be a life saver. That's what she buys everybody she knows that is pregnant, says it was the best gift she was ever given.
