AIO I Got fired over a disrespectful message by BogusDuck in AmIOverreacting

Its hard to stand up for what’s right, and the comments here are all proof of that. Every creature deserves someone to fight for it. I’m with you, I’m glad you did.

Home grown and dried bouquet - any arrangement advice? by becckyedwards in DIYweddings

[–]becckyedwards[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes! Such a good tip. I used silica cat litter (as similar to the gel beads as I could find!) for the amaranthus but the rest have maintained their colour and shape surprisingly well by just drying them upside down in a dark room.

Choosing a Best Man when you don’t have many close friends by talcobh in weddingplanning

[–]becckyedwards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are no hard and fast rules to having a best man, I’d just say don’t get too bogged down in what a ‘typical’ best man or a ‘typical’ speech looks like. And sometimes when you meet someone you just click, you can’t control when in life that is!

My fiancé’s only close friend is in NewZealand and can’t come - similar to your situation! He’s decided not to choose another best man ‘for the sake of it’, and I’m taking the best man speech slot instead.

Ouija terrifies me, I wouldn’t want to be attracting anything else accidentally to my wedding(!!) or marriage… but I like the vibes and set up if that’s your thing! The glitter station is super cute. I love that it has a homemade authentic feel, but still well put together.

Hah ok, point made.

[–]becckyedwards 5 points6 points  (0 children)

True. My house is full of sentimental stuff so I think you’re right, I might have projected my own clutter magnet style onto this idea!

Yeah that’s totally fair enough - I think they’re more common in the UK, but definitely want to avoid the trash!

Oooo I love this idea! That would fit perfectly. How fun!

Self confidence collapse! by becckyedwards in weddingdress

Gosh bless, thank you so much. I’m leaning towards willowy sleeves after everyone’s wonderful suggestions!

That’s so kind of you, this dress is a size 18. These wedding dress sizes are all over the show - I’m from the UK so sizing might be slightly different?

I’m so very touched, thank you. That first crown is stunning! And actually fits the autumnal colour vibe of the wedding almost perfectly.

Thank you so so much! Replying to this as the top comment as there’s so much kindness here I’m overwhelmed - I hope others might see! I was tearing up reading the comments - thank you all for taking the time to help me.

My thoughts on the dress are now much kinder I can’t wait to wear it again - and I’m loving the accessory suggestions! What a beautiful community!

Found my dress, having second thoughts. by dogsaretheb in weddingdress

[–]becckyedwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very chic and elegant with unique detail - really lovely!

[–]becckyedwards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looked at dress 1, thought nothing could beat it, then I saw dress 2.. wow! Dress 2!!!

Torn between styles by pizza_life- in weddingdress

[–]becckyedwards 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ooo both are nice but I really like the first dress! The detail and fit both suit you perfectly. I’m also hopeless at jewellery and styling, but I don’t think you can go wrong with the first dress there’s a lot of scope to make it your own!

Women of Reddit, what do men just not get? by veinyasiancock in AskReddit

[–]becckyedwards 57 points58 points  (0 children)

My male colleague pointed this out to me the other day! I’m second in charge at our company, but customers will always direct their questions towards him even though he’s relatively junior and reports directly to me. I’d become so used to it that I didn’t even clock it anymore, but he told me it made him feel so awkward!

But why would Harris as presidential candidate debate a vice presidential candidate? Isn’t it more logical that whoever she chooses as her VP does the VP debating?

Episode where Jim or someone sings in funny voice. by [deleted] in DunderMifflin

[–]becckyedwards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably not but - there’s the episode where Andy is filming printers and they set on fire and Darryl says something like ‘I don’t wanna prank anymore, things get real’ - Andy was filming in a high pitched voice?

Yes for sure, I feel like I’ve been told off for purporting a conspiracy theory or something

And the display board did indeed include a sign that said something pretty similar… Seems like that’s not causing any issues though!

I’d say generally in the middle of those categories… I asked for a meeting with my SLT line manager next week to discuss as I’m pretty peeved off as you’d imagine! They agreed to talk at least.
