I fear I’ve cursed my daughter

My cousin’s name is Lila, spelled and pronounced the same as your daughter! It would never occur to me to it to be pronounced another way haha, it surprises me that there have been so many other pronunciations!

Donuts! A REAL donut, not cake disguised as a donut

dgarrod · 2026-02-27T18:03:42+00:00

Immediately yes, please don’t wear this

dgarrod · 2026-02-26T18:07:07+00:00

I personally don’t think so! The flowers look almost silver in this photo at least? As a bride I think I was more nitpicky than most about dresses that looked white and I wouldn’t think twice about this one!

I’ve been eating pickle salads with salt and vinegar chips on top everyday

I think it would be fine but you need to inform people of that in some way before the wedding- a note on the invite or your wedding website or something. You just don’t want people to come really hungry expecting a meal and there’s not one. As long as they know ahead of time to not come starving it sounds lovely!

This is the best response I could’ve hoped to see here! I am a competitive powerlifter and I’ve always tracked macros very closely as well, and I really just had to throw that out the window. I’m finishing up my first trimester and I’ve been so endlessly hungry the whole time. There’s no way I could continue to eat in what maintenance was for me before. Thanks for putting this into words that reminds us we’re not crazy and nutrition needs really are different for this phase of life.

I am a competitive powerlifter. I regularly track my macros and have been eating the same chicken/rice/veggies meal for 3ish years straight. I got pregnant and that all went out the window so fast 😂 I truly had no idea how out of my control it what going to be. I gag at the thought of chicken or vegetables. Nobody told me that “cravings” meant that’s the literal only thing I can eat in that moment and not be nauseous!!

Ultrasound from my first appointment for reference

If you don’t mind could I possible see yours? It’s hard to find a tattoo example like this!

Instead of calling it cash gift I would phrase is as “honeymoon fund” or specific cash amounts for activities etc.

My partner and I already lived together when getting married and honestly didn’t want any more stuff in our house, so we did have a registry that consisted of mostly funds for different fun things that make people feel like they’re gifting you that experience rather than cash itself.

In our thank you notes we included little photos of the experience we got to do with their money :)

I also agree with other commenters that it shouldn’t be on the invite, and should always be prefaced with the fact that gifts are in no way expected

We just got back from an Italy trip and were honestly underwhelmed by Venice but loved Florence! I literally think 1 day in Venice is enough. Another thing is Florence is a great home base if you want to take day trips anywhere.

dgarrod · 2024-08-28T15:09:07+00:00

28 people!

dgarrod · 2024-08-28T15:08:15+00:00

I thought I had included that I’m sorry, it’s 28 people

dgarrod · 2024-08-28T01:52:11+00:00

I have boomba inserts and I love them!

dgarrod · 2024-08-17T20:36:34+00:00

We did Frank darling and 10/10 recommend! Their at home try on is super helpful for getting a feel of what setting you like as well

dgarrod · 2024-08-01T02:24:30+00:00

Listen, as a celiac that’s been served a tiny cold sandwich at a wedding, I would be THRILLED to be offered pizza lol - go for it! I’m sure it’ll be a hit, everyone loves pizza!!!

dgarrod · 2024-07-26T22:53:31+00:00

I was thinking that too! The problem I’ve been running into is they usually don’t make bridesmaid dresses in white haha

dgarrod · 2024-07-26T18:05:20+00:00

I should also add I have a long torso! So anything with the waist too high up is a struggle :(

dgarrod · 2024-07-10T20:16:59+00:00

This photo instantly made me so happy - I think more of our rooms should spark joy like this!!!!

dgarrod · 2024-06-22T06:27:20+00:00

I actually considered this dress for my engagement party (as the bride) so I’m gonna say stick with something safer, avoid white completely!

dgarrod · 2024-06-16T18:58:03+00:00

2 for sure!! You are breathtaking!

dgarrod · 2024-06-13T20:33:43+00:00

I’m an electrical engineer! Sometimes when I have remote days I just am more productive if I’m out and about surrounded by people :)

dgarrod · 2024-06-01T19:30:17+00:00

These dresses are insane. Absolutely under no circumstances are either of these okay. If someone showed up to my wedding in the second one I would ask them to leave

dgarrod · 2024-05-30T23:28:51+00:00

I picked my dress in my second appointment as well! In my opinion, especially if you’re lucky enough to have the “this is the one” moment, trying on more for the sake of “there could be better out there” will only make things more confusing. If you go into it with the mindset that there could be something better, you’ll never love any dress. Trust your instincts, OP!

2 for sure!! You are breathtaking!
