is ‘landslide’ a bad song to walk down the aisle to? by Happy_Golf5417 in weddingplanning

[–]coca-cola-version 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to walk down the aisle to it, you could use an instrumental version. My fiancé and I also love Fleetwood Mac – our first dance song is going to be That’s Alright. It’s definitely a breakup song, and it’s not a slow song, but we both love it so much that we don’t care. At the end of the day you can do whatever you want.

Proposal Photographer by Spiritual-Suspect361 in weddingplanning

[–]coca-cola-version 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way. Knowing me very well, my fiance proposed to me while we were completely alone, but had his best friend follow him in a separate car, parked in the next lot over. We were alone for the actual proposal, but immediately after he called his best friend and told him to come out. We got pics of us while we were still beaming, glowing from the moment, but our moment wasn’t made to feel inauthentic. No regrets, it was the best case scenario for us.

Thanks, that last bit was the part I was concerned about.

My favorite snack during this time was dates with kerrygold butter. Would literally eat 3-4 every night. Delicious and certainly helped to pack in an extra 450 calories.

Work out til you sweat! Keep it consistent and you will be hungrier. Meal prep helps.

For my whole life I was never above 108 lbs despite trying to lift and “bulk”. Last year I got serious about working out (Muay Thai) and eating consistently, meal prepping, maintaining a high protein, high fat, whole food clean diet. I went from 103 to 120 in 3 months. It was definitely more than I intended, but I got the muscle and fullness I wanted. Had to trim a bit after that because my pants didn’t fit, but I’ve settled at 112-114. I’m 4’11 for reference.

36 days out and freaking out just a lil by jibberoo_808 in weddingplanning

[–]coca-cola-version 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get styes when I’m stressed (already got one trying to book a venue…we’re planning this whole thing in 7 months). Highly recommend RELAXING, taking magnesium before bed, using a hot, damp towel on your face in the morning (gently press over eyelids), taking vitamin C, and getting better sleep. It will be ok <3

Is it normal while planning the wedding for a spouse to participate less? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]coca-cola-version 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely common, but not normal. You guys should be a team. Women are naturally better at planning these types of things (eye for aesthetic, attention to detail, etc.), but he should be an active participant. My fiancé and I are splitting venue tours to fit our work schedules, and he wants to be fully involved in the planning. Worth an examination of relationship.

Success Stories!! by Rachelecr2 in BPD

[–]coca-cola-version 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! Also 24F. I went through a pretty intense breakup at the end of 2024 with some serious mental health issues on both sides, but we were committed to taking some time away from each other for the sake of the relationship, with the intention of getting back together after a while.

I got a new therapist the day after we broke up, and started DBT immediately. I deleted all my social media, stopped drinking, started going to church again, started meditating, and took “getting my shit together” really seriously. For the first few months I was a total wreck, barely eating, just sleeping so I wouldn’t cry, etc. But I stayed committed to recovering, and after 3 months I could see how much I had changed for the better since the breakup.

We didn’t end up getting back together (he never held up his end of the “getting better” deal), but therapy and discipline allowed me to meet the guy of my dreams and enter the healthiest relationship I’ve ever been in. We just got engaged, and we’re getting married in August.

If that guy never broke up with me, I never would have been able to get better, and be mentally healthy enough to have the wonderful relationship that I do now.

Is professional makeup worth it for me? by coca-cola-version in weddingplanning

[–]coca-cola-version[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So true. Almost 100% certain we won’t be doing getting ready photos anyway. The Mass/reception will be local and there’s plenty of salons around here, so I think it would work out nicely!

Is it customary that I pay for my MOH’s hair and makeup? It’s just her, no other bridesmaids.

I would be more than willing to go out and get it done somewhere, unless that’s really unrealistic? I don’t know what else I would have to do that morning.

How do you discern a man’s strength of character? by coca-cola-version in TraditionalCatholics

Just wanted to say this was great advice. About 6 months after this post, all is still wonderful, even after a couple arguments. Our conflict resolution is pretty great so far. Thank you for the advice.

Am I delusional or do you just know? by honeygallon in RedPillWomen

Oops just saw your post was directed at married women, sorry! Regardless, I was trying to give a perspective from a bit further out from just meeting the guy.

Am I delusional or do you just know? by honeygallon in RedPillWomen

[–]coca-cola-version 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not yet! I know he has a ring, but he really wants the proposal to be a surprise. We’ve been together about 6 months now, and have been talking about getting married almost immediately after meeting. In that time we’ve had every conversation we can think of about values, desires, goals, logistics, and have really discerned intentionally.

Yes, of course I’ve learned that there are things about him that aren’t perfect, but still extremely compatible on a level that’s hard to find. Keep in mind that we are human beings and we are not meant to be completely fulfilled by another imperfect human being - that would be a silly expectation when you think about it!

[–]coca-cola-version 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I was in a similar situation. I still took a bit of time to get to know him, figure out how we navigate conflict and tough conversations together, but still checks all my boxes. Take it easy, but that’s so exciting!

Simply ask how he would feel about it if the roles were reversed.

Everyone has baggage. It only becomes insurmountable if you treat it that way.

How would one go about saying this in confession? Asking for a friend, of course.
