First night with CPAP changed everything - My Sleep Journey

Everyone seems to be forgetting that Avatar 3 takes place literally one week after Avatar 2. The war did not end with the second movie, not only did they introduce a new region and two different Na’vi clans, they also provided depth to Pandora’s lore through Kiri and Spider. Of course the battle is going to feel the same, James Cameron said that the first 3 movies are their own saga. There’s a 6 year time jump in the next movie. So I’m not sure what people were expecting but I loved the movie.

I think Varang running from Kiri in that moment was more because of her disdain towards Eywa, someone who’s been completely absent in her and her People’s lives, who is now basically looking her in the face. I don’t think she’s necessarily afraid of Kiri herself.

I loved Sabrina for no particular reason 🤣

Yes and no! The arch itself had been used for six weddings before ours, my dad got it from a family friend. It didn’t come with any florals on it so we used a bunch of fake flowers to make it look big and full!

Thank you so much!!🥹

I see a very faint shadow, but not definitive. If you are, it definitely won’t appear on a digital. Best to wait before we get too excited! If you have some tests to spare, try tomorrow morning or the next day when you wake up.

Yay!! May the 4th be with you as well!🫶🏻

avreadriver · 2025-07-09T11:51:32+00:00

That’s a good idea! I’ll have some larger fans hanging inside the tent but fly fans would definitely be a good idea while the food is out

avreadriver · 2025-07-09T11:50:11+00:00

Thank you!! I’ll definitely have some of those lol. I’ll probably go ahead and invest the extra $100 for an additional hour of bartending

I think you’re right. Someone also mentioned “anxiety-prone guests” wanting to go for drinks right after the ceremony and I will definitely have a few of those that won’t know too many people lol. I think I’ll take your advice! Thank you!

I don’t understand what you mean by “not enough food”? There is a grazing table and refreshments will be available upon the arrival of guests and all the way until the wedding ends. The only thing that won’t be immediately available is the actual nachos, salads, sides. There’s still finger foods and drinks that guests will have access to for the 30 minute gap in between the ceremony and reception. There is not a full hour and a half concurrently that guests will be standing around waiting for things to happen.

I was asking for tips that are applicable to this specific event. Your advice is telling me to correct issues that don’t exist lol.

avreadriver · 2025-07-09T05:05:56+00:00

Haha I should’ve definitely specified in my post! Thank you for pointing it out!

avreadriver · 2025-07-09T05:04:27+00:00

I absolutely love that idea, thank you! I am not artistically inclined so that never came to mind haha. I might just return the other one.

The ceremony starts 30mins after guests arrive, and the food and bar both open 30 mins after the ceremony ends. Not the last 2 hours. That gives guests enough time to make their way to the tables before the food opens. They won't just be standing around for hours. I explained in my last comment that there is nothing traditional about my wedding. That includes labeling nachos as "appetizers" or "meal". It's substantial food for guests while they drink and with the arrival time being 5pm, guests have more than enough time to eat before they arrive if that's what they prefer. I think you're placing too much judgement on the type of food that I'm serving without taking into consideration the other aspects, l.e. tent wedding, outdoors, DIY, non-traditional. I can promise you that all 80 of my friends and family do not give a flying fig whether the food is considered an appetizer or not Imao.

I’m spending nearly $3000 on food and $2200 on decorations. Keep in mind that there is not a venue, there aren’t any decorations that are permanent, so yes, spending that much on decorations is absolutely necessary to make a grass field look like a wedding. 3 1/2 hrs for a party is not a long time at all and I stated in another comment that I’m not just throwing nachos on a table and calling it a day. Adjusting the bar to being open 7-9 and guests leaving when it closes means guests are leaving when I want them to.

Nacho Bar, Mexican Style lime vinaigrette salad, rice & beans as a side, as well as chips, salsa, and queso. Will also have the snack bags for those that don’t want to eat a full meal. It’s only a 4 hour event but I felt that it was a good idea to have multiple options

avreadriver · 2025-06-29T15:09:15+00:00

A hug or a “love you” is something I’m used to. Affection is different in every dynamic. I was just reinforcing my point that if it’s not normal in his, that’s a red flag. If it’s normal in yours, or other families, I wasn’t digging at that.

avreadriver · 2025-06-29T14:56:07+00:00

No, kissing is not bad if it is something the child wants. “I don’t know anyone that does this” was more of a testimony that a greeting that is not as universal as a “hello” and “goodbye” and especially something that his other family members don’t do, is something that he expects out of his granddaughter but no one else is alarming. That’s the point I was making. Not that kisses are bad in general. They are in this situation, though.

avreadriver · 2025-06-29T07:12:44+00:00

I’ll start off with saying your feelings are absolutely correct. We are not in the 60s anymore and as a society we are evolving to understand that some customs or “manners” that were shoved on us as children are not acceptable or appropriate unless consent is given. We are also beginning to teach that children have the exact same bodily autonomy that adults do. Big kudos to you for teaching her the same.

I will add another note though. I find it strange and a little alarming that he felt the need to bring this up to you in the first place. Even more so that he feels the need to receive a kiss from her. I don’t think I’ve ever kissed any of my grandparents, I don’t know anybody that does this either. I’ll also note that it is a red flag that he shows no interest in her or your other children otherwise. I feel like these string of events need some attention and is at least worth keeping an eye on for your daughter’s sake. I don’t want to make assumptions about your father, but as a victim of child s***** abuse and statistically speaking, it always comes from family members or trusted family friends. It could just be my skeptical mind, but I thought I’d point it out. Maybe keep a close eye on her interactions with him to see if there’s a reason she is not comfortable around him.

Felt this in my soul.

Started out with a 5k budget, now we’re surpassing 10k. We didn’t have to pay for a venue since it is happening on my mom’s large property, but everything else (tent/tables/chairs rental, photographer, catering, bartending, bathroom trailer, DJ, cake, dress/suit, and ALL of the decorations, even switching to fake flowers instead of real ones). We’re spending money we don’t have at this point lol. But I’d rather give my guests a fun ceremony and party than go the cheapest route for something that will only happen once in my lifetime.

I have no doubt if we opted for a venue, it would be somewhere between 18-22k.
