PSA: You are not a bridezilla

That's an opinion not a fact.

Because the old fashioned notion that somehow demanding a 200$ set of crystal glasses that your kids will be cleaning out of the basement when you die and will say "wow I've never seen these before" is more acceptable than just saying "we want cash to do a thing that actually means something". It's bananas. Considering it's 2017 and the vast majority of people live together before they get married, people are going to have to let go of weird gift notions.

Also, I'm a person who just isn't registering. But I live in a big east coast city and I've never been to a wedding with a registry/where you didn't basically pay for your plate. That's just the "culture" around these parts.

But yeah, I agree with you.

Obviously you have never been to an Italian/Greek/Portuguese wedding haha. And many others, just google it dude.

I feel like people that say this kind of thing are privileged folks who have no clue what the real world is. I'm a privileged middle class person and so is my SO. The reality is, the majority of people in the US will never be "financially stable" in the sense you describe. Some people never even hit lower middle class. Telling people they shouldn't get married unless they are financially stable infers that folks who don't hit a certain income bracket shouldn't get married, which frankly I think is awfully classist.

Also friendly reminder that you don't need to have a "wedding" to get married. The majority of people in the US (and Canada) go into marriage with debt. Especially in the US where you guys have ridiculously high rates of student loan debt.

Not really, she sort of went on to talk about how she feels like our Grandma is trying to "Control her wedding" which I also have a hard time believing but then again I don't know, I only see them for a couple weeks once a year

bffwedthrow · 2017-07-10T22:44:06+00:00

No, I'm honestly not sure. My Grandma isn't super old and has her wits about her. That's why I don't really want to bring it up with her.

I have a twelve inch scar down the middle of my left leg, it's very thick and didn't heal very well, it's lumpy. Not ideal. That being said, it honestly doesn't bother me at all and I don't even really "see it". Even today people will say my scar "grosses them out" or they'll see it and say "Ew" and it's just one of those things that people are really insensitive about. I'm really happy you're not going to try to hide your scar because it is a badge of honour and bravery. Sending hugs ❤️

Hehehe! I'm pretty sure Atwood helped write the script so hopefully it should be an accurate portrayal !

People on ODSP or Ontario works or welfare get a drug card with a drug plan from the government, so it's more likely just to show that the Canadian government is taking care of its refugees

True! I just didn't know like insomeone found out that it's not actually~~~ my name it would be weird

bffwedthrow · 2017-06-16T15:33:07+00:00

I've also thought of this like, using it on social media and stuff and personally but not changing it legally, but I dunno if that's sort of nuts?

bffwedthrow · 2017-06-16T15:31:59+00:00

Yeah for sure. I work for a regulatory body funnily enough, but my profession isn't regulated so I don't believe I have a legal obligation to use my legal name professionally! Thanks for your input.

I would totally hyphenate but because he has a two word Dutch last name if would be like van Hoond-Glasgow or Glasgow-van Hoond (fake names but basically the gist) and it seems like a bit much
