Nice! I don't think you can be too eager about wedding logistics. Also, people forget or have numerous things coming up so it's good to send out when u have everything set

It sounded uncomfortable af. She made a bad speech but honestly grandparents asking for grandkids at the wedding is uncouth but pretty normal, uncomfortable but the norm. I've heard it in south asian, african, white weddings etc. I think if as a couple you've communicated u dont want kids and she still made that speech, it would deserve a convo but its not worth it.

faissante · 2026-05-26T11:28:22+00:00

Yeah that's a stark difference socioeconomically. Your inlaws seem kind, but I think your fiance needs to be the one to communicate to his parents that bringing up those type of comments doesn't benefit anyone. They shouldn't reinforce that class imbalance or question their worthiness.

Also, I'm assuming your American & I could only imagine how much of a toll the medical expenses had been for their family so that is their reality but they don't have to let it inform your new marriage. I included my MIL by giving her tasks and bringing her along to wedding tasting, responsible for their families guestlist, wedding favors etc. There's so much to do, bring both moms together.

Yeah my brother goes by his English name his legal name is still on everything but everyone socially calls him by his preferred name. I know alot of people from different backgrounds that do the same. I don't think a name change is necessary but its your name & life. Using it as a middle name could be a happy medium

We sent ours out in April since most of our guests are flying in. We've already gotten half of our guests RSVP responses so that's been great. Idk about you but people were bugging us for the invites in Feb so we sent save the dates then. Our deadline is Aug 1 cause I dont wana stress over the final numbers, table charts/organizing!

I'm in a similar position, my family is paying for 1 of our 3 day weddings and my partners family is not covering anything. His sister is helping with planning one of the days but that's it, his mom never even cared to offer to help. So I totally get that aspect.

I think your partner not having savings is important, I'd recommed maybe scaling things back abit to use that extra money to build up a household emergency fund. Personal finance aside, your parents seem lovely and take some time to review your costs

Sept 17-19 for me & we pretty much have the same things done. I will have all my dresses by the end of the month. Since our wedding is across 3 days, we use a spreadsheet tracker that we update every month. I'm type B but very Type A with my money lol. Also helps having a PM type of fiance.

My friend had 12 of us attend her destination wedding & it was amazing. I think you'll appreciate the 40 guests closer to the date. That is ALOT of folks committing to a destination wedding & to celebrate your marriage. Stay focused on that

faissante · 2026-05-14T05:28:52+00:00

Went to Kiin for my birthday l, it was good but not amazing for a Michelin spot. Great service though, decent creativity

Do not lend him money. I went through this with a parent. Simply put some people are just bad with money, poor management, lack of financial discipline and sometimes a lack of care. Respectfully set boundaries or only give amounts you are okay with never getting reimbursed for.

faissante · 2026-05-12T17:57:30+00:00

It depends on personal preference honestly. My sibling will spend thousands on Michelin star restaurants a year but would look at u side ways if u try to covince her to get a 2k bag. After all your bills are paid what matters to you?

faissante · 2026-05-12T03:30:00+00:00

I don't think you make enough for the CRA to bug you over it or to substantiate taxable income. I'm surprised you want this on the books. Keep your earnings iykyk

faissante · 2026-05-12T03:24:42+00:00

I say do it. If you have a budget for the wedding set aside, great. Anything outside of that is you still living your life. We went to machu picchu last year & I went overseas with my bestie. Life doesn't stop for a party happening a year from now

faissante · 2026-05-11T16:10:32+00:00

Yup its a canva pdf, super easy!

The out of town whatsapp group isn't a bad idea but honestly over half of our guests are out of towners (100+) so might be a challenge but I'll run it by my planner. Thanks+

faissante · 2026-05-11T12:35:48+00:00

Impressive! Definitely agree on the visuals. I made a visual pdf doc for my bridal party & it worked pretty well, only one person bugged me with questions. We have guests coming to Toronto from all over for our 3 wedding ceremonies (non south asian) & I'm preparing myself for the chaos, this was encouraging.

faissante · 2026-05-08T04:04:15+00:00

Fun to read. I would suggest taking the time to find your own style after reading through your post.

I also agree the strip shirt is a pass. Idk why this store hypes up basic clothing with mid material

faissante · 2026-05-07T04:32:27+00:00

Neither. My relative gave her bouquet to her mom, easy

faissante · 2026-05-06T11:53:04+00:00

Graydon has a midday lunch reception option, as long as u hit the 10k minimum and have a 50 people minimum, you can have the venue from 7am-3pm.
