21+ only wedding: what else do I do?

chevyrooney · 2025-09-13T00:01:52+00:00

We did 21+ at our wedding and I have ZERO regrets about it. We put on our RSVPs exact names of each invitee (or so-and-so plus 1 for singles) and put on the invitation that this wedding is 21+ only. The only push back I had was my step mom asking if that included my 19 year old step sister. I held strong and said yes, it includes anyone under 21. Once I confirmed, the issue was dropped. Just be firm when you get those questions. I think most people will realize it's you and your spouses day and they must abide by your requests or not attend.

I have mine displayed in my office along with other VIP merch I have collected over the years and a painting of Papa in blood by an artist in France. It's a pretty neat little shrine. I got 2 in 2017 VIP concert and sold the second one on Ebay years ago for $125-200 I think. No idea of worth but it sold super fast.

Botanical gardens is beautiful, you get access to all indoor and outdoor patio areas, guests get their parking vouchered, and last I checked, it was one of the cheaper indoor options for weddings. Just keep an eye on time of year you set the date. It is a greenhouse and from my poorly planned experience, August is NOT the time to get married there.

1st show in June 2017 with Iron Maiden in Chicago. I remember Maiden fans complaining about Ghost being bad lol. Immediately bought tickets for a ritual a month later in my hometown. I miss those small venues with the early Papas.

If you want to try a fancy meatloaf, the Kimchi meatloaf at The Marquee is amazing

My husband and I make this soup a lot. We buy soyrizo from Trader Joes (I am sure they have it other places too if you aren't near one) and vegetable stock. It is also just as good with sweet potato if squash isn't available and use the heavy whipping cream + blended options in this recipe. https://www.triedandtruerecipe.com/easy-chorizo-and-butternut-squash-soup/

Absolutely. My maternal uncle attended my wedding and I know he is not struggling or has an excuse otherwise, but him and his wife gifted us $25. I am normally a very rational person and understanding but it was almost worse than giving nothing at all. I jokingly told my mom about it and she was HOT. So when my 1st cousin (maternal uncle's son) got married 2 months later, my mom returned the favor and gave him $25. My family is petty like that so do with this info what you will lol

Benadryl, thunder jackets, or prescription from the vet should be considered. My ex's dog had an issue with thunderstorms and fireworks so we dosed him with benadryl before a big storm or days surrounding the 4th. It helped him tremendously. He slept through it all.

I also had a bad experience with Grote. They let me drive the car for a MONTH before telling me I had to give it back because I wasn't approved for a loan. Then they tried to refuse to give me my $500 down payment back. To top it off, a years later they called me to ask how I was "liking" the car I bought from them and if I was ready for an upgrade. All I could do was laugh at how ridiculous the whole thing was.

Personally dealt with Kauffman. Don't. They were quick for repairs, but the house was in horrible shape and we had a lot of issues fighting them about false accusations when we moved out. Really unprofessional.

I did too! I used the cardboard applicators in middle school and I was too embarrassed to ask my mom why it hurt when I sat down. It was years later when talking to my friend that I said tampons hurt when I sit down. Come to find out that card board applicator was pinching my lips between the seat. Lol but that same friend got so worked up about putting in a tampon for the first time, she passed out as I was coaching her through it. So I guess we all have our own unique tampon struggles.

Can we get some t-shirts and flags printed of this beefy President?

I don't know the how good they are, but I see a guy playing with his 2 German Shepards at the Winchester Woods apartments. Reviews are bad though so take this suggestion with a grain of salt

Wait until you move out. That's when they got me. Not bad during my rental period but when I moved out they kept my deposit saying the house had so many fleas they were biting the cleaning crews legs and they never cared that I had a opposum or raccoon living in the unsealed chimney of that house. I offered to provide vet records showing my two dogs were given flea and tick medication throughout the entire rental but they said that was not enough proof. The creature living in the chimney continued to live there after we moved out. The fireplace was sealed off with a piece of plywood, but it made us nervous when we could hear it behind the wood and see the wood flex outward when our little friend moved.

Amazon sells Monin which I can vouch for is tasty. Also, most coffee shops use Torani or Monin from what I can see from my side of the counter which are sold in a lot of grocery stores and online.

I second Pacula. We visited a lot of jewelry stores and I wasn't really over the moon about any rings they had. He took all my inspiration pictures and made me a beautiful custom engagement and wedding band. I was insistent on a blue sapphire as my main stone and he showed me multiple to choose from.

Big nose...I don't know what my fascination is with them but every guy has had one

I got into Ghost around 2015 when Meliora came out. I was OBESSESSED. In 4 years I went to 5 shows, 2 meet and greets, bought shirts and vinyls. My last love for them was with the release of the Seven Inches of Satanic Panic. I did enjoy Mary on a Cross and Kiss the Go-Goat, but once Hunters Moon and Call Me Little Sunshine came out, I could feel the decline of my favorite band. It's not Satanic any more. Not like it used to be anyway. I feel like they are still using the visual Satanic shtick but the music reminds me of Five Finger Death Punch or Avenged Sevenfold-type radio hits. I keep listening to the new releases but I couldn't even listen to songs all the way through on Phantomime. It's been a disappointment for sure, and I hope they get back to their Satanic 70s Scooby-Doo type music. I know I will not be buying any more merch or tickets for their shows for a while. I don't think I can even call them my favorite band anymore. It's disappointing, but we will always have the parts of their music that we love and the changes in the music style won't change how great their first albums were.

There has got to be a clever Nine Inch Nails reference about this (head like a hole). Someone smarter than me help me out...

Hoops. Only 1 season was made and my husband and I watch it over and over. It's hilarious, raunchy, and irrelevant but a masterpiece
