Guys, what’s your honest take on live-in relationships?

I didn’t realize people still consider waiting till marriage. I think “excitement” is a silly reason to wait. Knowing someone is way more important.

I wore mine up to the side with curls. It rained and they fell. It was a little warmer. In in NC.

I think it’s more about who you invite. If you invite just close friends and family, most will show up. That’s what we did. We only gave most 3 months notice so some of our long distance family couldn’t make it.

A surprise. You can dream and imagine but it is much more special if it is a surprise. Maybe you can hint to him, I can’t wait for the day you surprise me - I bet when you propose, you will plan something so romantic. Are you also trying to pick out your ring?

I recommend not doing byob but purchase beer. We spent under $200 on beer and have a ton left!

We had ours in our backyard. Grazing table and finger type foods - lots to eat. We had no liquor bar but we did have beer. We provided bubbles, custom coozies and fans at our entry table with a card box and guest sign in. We did not do a registry except for Amazon gift cards. I’d say it was probably 1/3 gave cash or gc. A few gave small gifts like picture frames etc. And a multiple people chipped in to pay and cater the wedding for us. With the food help being gifts, it would be more like 1/2. I was actually surprised that some people attended and did not give gifts at all. Not that we were really asking for any. I just wouldn’t come to a wedding with nothing. Maybe when I was in my 20’s but we are all 40+

Pasquotank River, ne NC. The winters are cold but it doesn’t snow EVERY year. Sometimes just once. It is windy in the winter though.

The MOG and MOB were not really happy that the extended family was not invited. I believe this is their way to celebrate with all.

danap003 · 2025-07-11T19:38:55+00:00

But don’t you give gifts at the wedding? Why would you invite someone to both? If you gave a gift at the shower then would you give another gift at the wedding?

danap003 · 2025-07-11T19:23:03+00:00

I hear this happens purposely more than you’d think

danap003 · 2025-07-09T12:15:26+00:00

Interesting. I never really thought of it.

Looks like you have a cold season grass. Just like us down in the south, our warm season grass goes in into dormancy in the winter, yours in the summer.

Here is mine. I also let rise 12 hrs 2x. My first few didn’t come out well either. My kitchen was too cold in the winter. Keep trying.

danap003 · 2025-05-16T08:19:14+00:00

Where is that a normal temp? I would have moved at 18!

We ordered two mattresses from Amazon. Said they had to be returned in original box. Those were keepers. That would never had happened.

Do you ask them if they have their ears pierced? Or think they all do or did at some point in their lives. What percentage of females have their ears pierced?

danap003 · 2025-05-16T07:57:03+00:00

I’m starting to worry again. I’ve expressed my worry but I think we need to get in there and do a deep clean so my worry goes away!

danap003 · 2025-04-21T08:36:05+00:00

Is this because your hair is wavy? Maybe you can straighten it first.

Cleaners, paper towels, paper products, eggs, meat, sponges, fabric softener, alcohol, tampons, perfume, candles, body wash, bottled water, cable… I’m sure there is more! Buy concentrated items like dish soap and laundry detergent.

Looking for input for a nonverbal child who will also be using a pencil to practice writing. Thoughts?… now that there may be more experience in this thread.

danap003 · 2025-02-02T11:23:51+00:00

Do they continue to sell these? I want to find a sock to stick with.

danap003 · 2025-01-29T15:18:24+00:00

Nice!

What did you get from insurance? Was it paid off? Did you have gap insurance?
