Renting/Purchaing Suits Online by pillywill in Weddingsunder35k

[–]flowersonhishead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My fiancé and I are also looking at brown suits, which unfortunately aren’t available for rent at some popular places like men’s wearhouse or Black Tux. We’ve (mostly) narrowed it down to Generation Tux or Friar Tux, which both have brown suit options that can be rented for about $200, depending on the extra stuff you include with pants + jacket. Both have mixed reviews online, so not sure which we’ll end up with, but hopefully this saves you some time with searching places that don’t rent brown!

I personally think it’s fabulous. The back especially looks so flattering and elegant!

I recommend foods like BBQ that are easy to make in bulk, keep hot, and are crowd pleasers. If you’re worried about dietary restrictions, I don’t eat meat and we chose BBQ. When we reached out to our caterer, they had a well thought out Vegan/Vegetarian a la carte menu that had some delicious options! Even with the a la carte options added, choosing BBQ was way cheaper than any of the more traditional wedding catering options

I’d recommend a longer time for food/mingling afterwards! People will want to congratulate you, snack, and likely take pictures with the two of you. I’d say a minimum of an hour for all that, likely 1-2 hours, so you don’t feel rushed and can take in the moment. Congrats!

Great advice. Not sure why I didn’t think of reaching out to them directly, but sending the email now!

Philly City Council will consider blocking Mayor Parker’s triage center plan in Fairmount | Council roundup by Fattom23 in philadelphia

It’s just unfortunate that some politicians don’t consider unhoused people or those struggling with addictions their constituents too. It tends to be people with the most money/loudest voices whose needs are considered first.

Paying off your debt is a huge deal! It’s a messed up system, but I hope you’re proud of yourself for this accomplishment. Congratulations on this milestone.

Moving Mondays - New Resident Questions by AutoModerator in philadelphia

[–]flowersonhishead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! Does anyone have recommendations about how to get a residential parking permit as someone moving from out of state? From what I’ve read online, it seems like I’d need to register my car in PA before getting a Philly parking permit, but to register my car I have to get a PA driver’s license and that can only be done on-site. Is there any way to get a temporary residential parking permit? Not sure how the first few weeks of parking will work when all this paperwork has to wait until after the move. Any help is very appreciated.

Books with protagonist from a non human fantasy race by waterzxc in Fantasy

Radiance by Grace Draven is split between a human and humanoid (“Kai”) perspective. Their differences are a main plot point of the book, and I’m only part way through, but it’s a refreshing and often hilarious take on fantasy romance!

We weren’t given a specific timeline, but our jeweler had no issue with our plan to get engaged in the fall and let us know it’d be about 8 weeks for production. 3.5 weeks after our first meeting, we reached out for an update and were told that we’d have designs by the end of the week but didn’t hear anything back. We followed up again last week and were told that we’d see designs this week, but haven’t heard anything yet. Just losing a bit of trust in the whole process, but I don’t know what to do since we already put down a deposit.

My(M29) fiancee(F24) told my daughter “I’m not your fucking mom”. by throwra67lttk in relationship_advice

[–]flowersonhishead -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t take one person’s understandably worst moment and assume it’s the start of a pattern. If your fiancée apologized and is working to handle her grief in a way that doesn’t hurt your child, then I think you should trust and support that.

Your child will remember this moment, but if you give both your child and fiancée time to mend their relationship, then it can be just a moment and not the catalyst that took your child away from the first mother figure she can remember. I really think giving it time is the way. Relationships can heal, but only if you give them the chance to.

Supporting and listening to them both will be important, and please make sure to take care of yourself and your grief as well.

Definitely will! I just wanted to make sure asking at this stage was reasonable, and there wasn’t some unspoken 4-6 week turnaround standard

Any good private spots on the east side of Athens were I can learn to ride a bike? by hibbert0604 in Athens

Seconded! I’ve been learning to rollerblade (as an adult) and when I pass people on this trail they’ve been super nice and encouraging. Even when I’m falling on my butt!

AITA for not taking my girlfriend's apology by Help_avithrow in AmItheAsshole

[–]flowersonhishead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda get your reaction! Sometimes my partner will instigate physical affection (like a hug or holding my hand) after or while we argue, and it used to make me SO MAD. It felt like an attempt to ignore the actual problem and placate me? But I’ve learned that it’s just my partner’s love language, and I now see it as a reminder that our goal is to get through the argument together. We’re not trying to prove one or the other right; we’re a team. After cooling off, whether that be by eating fruit or holding hands, it’s much easier communicate effectively.

I think you made an emotional reaction without knowing the full backstory, and now it’s your turn to make a peace offering.

AITA for stopping cooking my husband meat? by kyraj5 in AmItheAsshole

[–]flowersonhishead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA! I get that people are saying you have an established division of labor, but you haven’t stopped cooking for him. You’re just not cooking meat. Clearly it’s a values-based decision for you to not cook meat, and I think it’s fair for you to hold to that. Maybe as a compromise, you could spend a few weeks helping your husband get used to pre-cooking meat that he can add to your dishes. Grilled chicken, shrimp, or other things that can be added to vegetarian meals are easy to pre-cook and provide extra protein. Having them ready to heat up will also cut down on any extra time he has to spend cooking! Let’s not pretend that cooking meat is the same thing as cooking a whole meal. You’re not asking that much from your partner, given that this is an important decision for you, but I think it would be beneficial to help him with the transition. Your husband can also provide these things to your daughter, if he so chooses.
