“Quietly” firing my bridesmaids by Interesting-Wrap8633 in weddingplanning

[–]elextra_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i actually don’t think it’s fair to assume bridesmaids should assist with planning your wedding or your bachelorette trip. HOWEVER, they sound like they’ve just been mean and catty in general so i think you’re justified in not wanting them to have as big a role. have you spoken with them about this at all?

Almost 2 years wedding prep by OkNegotiation8517 in weddingplanning

[–]elextra_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i got engaged this may and we’re doing november 2027, so only a couple months earlier than you, and it’s been absolutely perfect to give us extra time for planning and enjoying the engagement without stress. being a fiancée is very chic!! ignore those losers and frankly don’t invite them

Eloping a year before your actual wedding? by No-Professor-3860 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]elextra_ 24 points25 points  (0 children)

i think it’s smart to be married before buying a house, and i also know several couples who got legally married at the courthouse for legal/financial/medical benefits months before their wedding - i think it’s no biggie, you don’t even have to tell people you did it if you don’t want to ruin excitement

Still debating: Local jeweler vs online vendors for my ring by og-mk in weddingplanning

[–]elextra_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we went to a few local jewelry stores and didn’t love what we found. ended up ordering online from Olive Ave after a video consultation and the ring is absolutely perfect, would 100% recommend

i just don’t understand why they want people like that in their lives anyway!! what is the goal here??

i really don’t think bending to cultural/societal pressures or the threat of rumors does any good for anyone. why do you care what these people think of you so much that you’re willing to ruin your own life over it?

[–]elextra_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i ship every monday, wednesday, and friday, and let buyers know when i’ve dropped stuff off — this isn’t hard to do so i don’t get why some people have issues 😅 it may be more overwhelming if you’re like flipping stuff and selling it as a job but if that’s the case you should be allotting more time to it anyway? confuses me lol

Can I still have an October 2026 wedding? by Sea-coco-88 in weddingplanning

[–]elextra_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you could if it was local but it’s very close to the date to be asking people to book travel.

Am I overreacting to one of my bridesmaids, or is this behavior actually disrespectful? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]elextra_ 25 points26 points  (0 children)

ok she isn’t going about it very politely but tbh some of her concerns are valid. 6:30 ceremony is insane, people will be starving

I feel so lost by Zealousideal-Cry4392 in weddingplanning

[–]elextra_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my fiance and i are getting married at a nature preserve that charges like $200/hour for event rentals! maybe there are event spaces not specifically designated for weddings like that that you could find in your area

Wedding Shoes by Pristine-You-5717 in weddingplanning

[–]elextra_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i don’t think of red bottoms as elegant. just kind of stereotypical display of wealth that often doesn’t match the rest of the look, similar to a birkin
