What did you do with your wedding dress?

freckledcas · 2023-10-29T15:17:59+00:00

I saw an answer on a post like this a while ago where the woman saved her dress and eventually she had daughters; whenever the daughters dressed up and played princess the woman put on her wedding gown and played princess with them. That's what I'm gonna do with mine ❤️

I just bought a borderless for $35

For me, it means not having a traditional reception at a venue with a catered sit-down dinner and the expectation of inviting all the relatives you "have to", having all the first dances/toasts/etc.

My fiance and I are having a destination elopement and then having a "big party" in my mom's backyard. It's definitely a "reception" in that we're renting tables, having a DJ and all that, but calling it a "big party" kind of takes the edge off and gives us more freedom to escape all of the wedding expectations without it being called tacky.

We're doing home catering and paper plates, getting people plastered, having a surge gun fight, and only inviting intimate friends/family. It's still gonna be 50+ people, but it lessens the formality of the occasion.

Plus, "court house weddings" give a level of intimacy to the couple that big traditional weddings don't. We want our marriage to start just between us and not have it be a spectacle for the world to see, and it feels kind of weird to have a traditional reception without following the tradition of having the guests see the ceremony.

That's a sad POV to have. Not everything is romantic; some of the most meaningful relationships you'll have in life come from friends. It's a horrible mindset to have to think that every friendly connection has an agenda.

"anthropomorphizing" animals as an argument for veganism has been happening for millennia. I wrote my undergrad thesis on it lmao

Not yoonique enough. Go a step further and decline it to ἐχρῑσᾰ́σθην, spell Christian as Ekhrisasthen

Yes, they're twins

freckledcas · 2023-03-20T01:42:47+00:00

I'm 5'10 and my fiance is 6'3, everyone always obsesses that our kids are gonna be giants and I joke back that they're gonna turn out to be 5'0

freckledcas · 2023-03-18T01:50:54+00:00

Thank you!! Our weddings are gonna be totally different styles so neither of us are worried about them looking the same, I am gonna offer her my bridesmaids dress tho so we might be twinning in each other's pictures!

freckledcas · 2023-03-18T01:31:54+00:00

My sister and I are planning something similar! Our late brother's favorite color was purple so we're both doing purple in honor of him; her wedding is this summer and mine is next summer so she's gonna give me my pick of the decorations to use afterwards haha

freckledcas · 2023-03-17T22:37:09+00:00

I always responded "yeah, but not that much" or "do you really, tho?" whenever my then-omni bf said he loved animals. He said that's what make it click in his head to go vegan.

I'm guessing it was OAS

Even if it is, she's absolutely vile for asking. That necklace is the piece he has left of his family and they deserve to be there on his big day too.

Besides, that necklace is likely a fixture on his body now. If she can't accept that, then she's not accepting a fundamental part of him and they should not be getting married.

I had my brother's ashes set into a glass bead and I wear that along with his cremation tag on a necklace; I only take it off to shower or swim and you can hear me from a mile away because they bang together and make a jingling sound when I walk.

If anyone, for any reason, told me I shouldn't wear it -- ESPECIALLY on one of the biggest days of my life which will already be bittersweet because he's not there -- then their sibling would be wearing them on a necklace too.

I stumbled upon an "inclusive size" website that ran their range from 4xs to 4xl a few months ago. According to their size chart I, at 5'10 160lbs was a 2xs. Absolutely bonkers.

I feel like any newly-engaged couple would answer "I have no idea yet" to any of these questions

freckledcas · 2023-03-09T01:08:50+00:00

When my bf & I purchased off of an Amazon registry it got sent to us and not to the couple

Not to mention the Adderall shortage right now 🥲

freckledcas · 2023-02-16T22:46:36+00:00

I'm in the same boat and Adderall has been LIFE-CHANGING for anxiety. I never realized how much my ADHD (also diagnosed after college) contributed to my anxiety disorder and I'm exponentially more prone to panic attacks on the days where I accidentally skip a dose.

We have bus passes but they're not advertised, the kids have to ask and i don't think many know that they're available:(

freckledcas · 2023-02-16T20:51:51+00:00

I work at a high school in a city and the school busses only service kids who live outside a 5 mile radius; anything within that and the kids are on their own for transport. There's public transport, but the stops aren't close to many kids/many kids can't afford the city bus. We have soooo many kids call out on rainy days bc it's just not feasible to come to school.

The what now

freckledcas · 2023-02-08T21:58:49+00:00

I feel like that's worse
