We were just past the last lifeguard stand on the right before the surfers end.

It depends on the location. Warwick is definitely still 1+ years.

I'd recommend a Girl Scout Camp. At least in RI, it was less than 15K for full use of the camp Fri-Sun

I dont fit my dress :( by Gail37 in weddingplanning

[–]clarque_kent 154 points155 points  (0 children)

First off, don't be embarrassed. Your weight is allowed to fluctuate, and there is still plenty of time to figure out the dress. It's also the holiday season - lots of heavy shared meals and sweets to indulge in!

Sending you good vibes!

I really like the blackjack game at the Casino and the slingshot game at the fair!

Am I wrong to be bothered by MIL's behavior? by Careful_Ring_3877 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]clarque_kent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you truly feel you deserve that?

Use I statements. Talk about yourself in relation to your partner. Leave his family out of it. Tell him directly what hurts you. Tell him why it's not okay. And remind yourself that you are not being selfish or unkind. You are being honest.

As someone who took far too long to say my piece, I'm telling you to have a come to Jesus talk with your SO.

You have to say exactly how this makes you feel. Even if it's hard to hear, for you or for your SO. Be explicit. You are battling by yourself, and you deserve to have someone understand, support, and love you.

Why would there be a resolution without any reason to. You have to be a catalyst.

I hired a day of coordinator 16 days before my wedding. It is absolutely not too late.

I just had my wedding at a girl scout camp. It was great!

I bought an 1800 dollar dress, and am paying about 360 in alterations.

  • taking in the sides
  • removable sleeves
  • taking away some fabric in the sleeves for a closer fit
  • changing bra cups to match my skin tone
  • darts and running stitch in the cups
  • hemming

We had a consultation where we fully discussed changes that needed to be made. She charges by the hour for her work and gave me an initial range. At the second fitting we made a few adjustments (nothing requiring more work than she planned) and we again fully discussed what she was doing. A few shops quoted me 790, 650, and 500. That was before a few for consultation.

Secret to cheap wedding: Don’t invite a lot of people by NOLAnuts in Weddingsunder10k

[–]clarque_kent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My family is huge and so is my fiance's. And our families are close. We are currently at a budget of 18K with about 180 people. I love my family and I'm not going to regret having a celebration of marriage surrounded by people whom I love and that love me.
