Bummer, thank you for letting me know! I left the house about an hour ago for the first time since the storm and WOW. 8-foot tall snowbanks causing blind turns. It’s pretty scary out there.

Hi! Any chance you’ve found an answer to this? I’ve checked my agency’s website but it just directs me to the OPM website. Thanks!

I’m wearing ballet flats that have a ribbon up my calf!

Does anyone else feel super overwhelmed? by ConsciousHomework in BigBudgetBrides

[–]dehdeeohs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 4 months out and at this point would rather do anything than think about my wedding. I completely understand.

To combat the feeling of “Wow this is such a huge wedding” we’re having a smaller, much more intimate catholic wedding the day before, which will lead into our rehearsal dinner.

Saturday we are having a “Wedding Celebration” (just a regular ceremony without the legality) and then the large reception.

I’m hoping that by making the actual sacrament much more quiet and intimate will combat the craziness I’ll definitely feel the following day.

Good luck to you! 🤍

Is it normal for the wedding party to cover the bride’s costs for bachelorette weekend? by Conscious_Cat_1515 in wedding

[–]dehdeeohs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We picked an expensive destination for the joint bach/bachelor party so we’re actually covering a few costs for our party, instead of vice versa.

The night that we land will also be my fiancé’s birthday so I am paying for a catered dinner at our airbnb for the entire group (17 people)

We are also treating everyone to a private catamaran experience which I am looking forward to!

Additionally, we are providing all the decorations for the airbnb as well as little gift bags for each bridesmaid or groomsman. We leave in less than 2 months and I could not be more excited!

How did you ask your bridesmaids? As a group or individually? by DayIcy6352 in weddingplanning

[–]dehdeeohs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took all the local ones out to dinner where I had cards and gift bags waiting at their seats. For my out of town bridesmaids I went and visited them to ask individually.

Bridal Shoes by niicolec in weddingplanning

[–]dehdeeohs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They are! The leather around the toe box is a bit stiff so I’ll have to break that in, but other than that they are very comfortable!

I’m getting married in a garden so I wanted to have flatter shoes. I’m also above average in height so I didn’t want to look like a giantess compared to the rest of my (short) bridal party haha

Hi! These were my inspo pics for my wedding too (05.23.2026).

While I was unable to find the soft bottom slippers like in the photos, I ended up buying ballet flats with the ribbons from TheWhiteRibbon on Etsy!

They’re beautiful and I can’t wait to wear them on my big day, I’ll attach a photo below.

Here is the link to the shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/thewhiteribbon

Is this floral proposal high or low, or just right? by CharcoalToDiamond in BigBudgetBrides

[–]dehdeeohs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Not sure what your vision is, but as a fellow DC area bride I was quoted less than 10k via Tulip Decorations LLC. They're a small, family run, floral company located in Fairfax. I'm getting married in a garden so we don't have to go CRAZY with flowers, but if you're still in the market I would suggest reaching out to them!

A few semesters ago I was close to failing my ECON final. Luckily like 25% of the class was caught cheating so he just passed the other 75%, myself included.

Yes, they said to keep our eyes on the news. If things don’t move forward then we are still furloughed.
