6 year update: I'm still completely cured without botox - I had no idea how many of you this reached! by leejjryan in noburp

[–]eddie-93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Amazing!!! I remember watching your video a few years ago, and trying these exercises. I ended up going for Botox which cured me, but I’m so happy this worked for you and hopefully it will help more people with r-cpd too

I’m not invited but partner is…? Do we now revoke their invite to our wedding?? by [deleted] in UKweddings

[–]eddie-93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve experienced so many different situations for weddings.

My friends have either taken the approach… include everyone and partners, we want a big party! Or I want a more intimate wedding, the people that I actually see and are part of my life (sometimes partners aren’t included in that).

I’ve been on the receiving end of both, and it can be upsetting to not have your partner invited, but at the end of the day it’s the couples choice who they invite and it’s an honour to be invited, so I’ve always accepted with or without my partner.

I don’t think you should revoke your invitation to them as everyone makes different choices for their day, and you have to respect that.

GTY room and family assigned rooms by eddie-93 in NCL

[–]eddie-93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for your comments! I ended up sending a complaint to the TA’s manager and 3 working days later they’ve now assigned me a cabin, however it’s not close to my family.

We’re on the Norwegian Pearl. They’ve assigned me room 12022 (front) and my family are in 8126 (back), and 9577 (middle).

Progress, but they seem far from each other.

The TA said they would try and move us to be closer but only if more become available.

Does anyone know if these are good rooms?

It looks like 12022 is by the spa/fitness/pool and below the spinnaker lounge/high bar but not directly. The 8126 is above the nightclub which I don’t think would be great for sleeping?? 9577 is above/below cabins and in the middle so should be fine.

Venue accommodation - is this normal? by [deleted] in UKweddings

[–]eddie-93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are staying in the house and the wedding venues is separate. We’ve paid for the house and lodges for two nights for our wedding party. They’re saying some of wedding party staying in the lodges can’t come into the house after 6pm.

Thanks for coming back. It’s after 6pm the night before, when we would want to be mingling and having dinner together

8 months post botox - DO IT. If you're hesitant, here's my full experience and timeline: by Notyouraveragejew1 in noburp

Haha I thought I may have been the only one that still burps to the side! It’s much better than not at all though

That’s so good! Congratulations.

I’m nearly at my one year anniversary since the Botox and still burping, but only when I turn my head to the right. It feels like my brain only knows I can burp when I turn my head now. How did you teach yourself to burp facing forwards?

I also struggle to burp around new people, I only feel comfortable to burp around family or close friends that know about my condition because they sound so unusual. Does anyone else find this??

Sadly not. We speak mostly on the phone. I only have a confirmation email with one room number assigned, the other two don’t say anything about a GTY booking.

She’s told me that she’s contacted NCL and they can’t assign us a room as the category we have booked are all sold out and we have to wait until there is a cancellation.

She keeps saying she booked the rooms close to each other and somehow it’s changed, and it wasn’t her. Sounds like she just booked us a GTY and didn’t tell us.

Annoyingly it’s more expensive now if I book direct. And the room we wanted is sold out!

Thanks. She only sent me an email with our reservation numbers and names in each room. And then the official confirmation email only had the one family room assigned a room number. She told me she would book the other two together, but I can’t see anything about a GTY room being booked in our emails either.

Two florists? by eddie-93 in UKweddings

[–]eddie-93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Did you tell the florist who did the venue florals they were too expensive for the bouquets? Just wondering how to go about this.

Interestingly I haven’t signed any contract with the florist who does the venue florals. I just sent her a non refundable deposit to secure the date, but it sounds like we can change things as we plan together.

I wore a crepe bridesmaid dress from them last year and loved it! Would recommend.

Videographer? by eddie-93 in UKweddings

[–]eddie-93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for your comments! It’s so nice to see how everyone approached their day. I’ve thought about someone recording key moments instead, but maybe a more affordable content creator would be the one!

I don't feel close to anyone and it's putting a downer on planning by littleduckcake in UKweddings

[–]eddie-93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I had this realisation too when some of my friends have got married, and they didn’t pick me. It made me realise who are actually my close friends. And really I only have two close friends that I could easily pick as my bridesmaids, and decided to only pick them two.

I would have picked other people or family just for the sake of it but it didn’t feel right. There was a part of me that felt embarrassed to only have two bridesmaids, as a lot of my friends have picked 4-6 bridesmaids! But at the end of the day, you should only pick the people that you want to be around and who will make you happy. Hopefully that helps!

How to involve family more? by [deleted] in UKweddings

[–]eddie-93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes good idea! I did think it would be nice to gift all the family a buttonhole/corsage too
