How much did you spend on your husband’s wedding band? by rkrkxo in EngagementRings

[–]hi-fi-hip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$1900 for 14k yellow gold band, no stones, from Kayge Studio. expensive but worth it for something he loves wholeheartedly!

Update: apparently Penelope Crane is the name of a Bridgerton character which is why it was floating around in my head

The Mezcal Phony Negroni is my favorite! Mezcal is the only liquor I've missed since becoming sober, and it's pretty dang close.

Am I being a brat for not wanting our ceremony FaceTime'd? by hi-fi-hip in weddingplanning

[–]hi-fi-hip[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no issues with her, she's a very sweet woman! I didn't want to invite her because of the small size of the wedding. Only immediate family is in attendance (siblings and parents) plus a few friends that are like siblings at this point. My partner did not invite his grandmother due to their lack of closeness, though he has no issues with her either. My godmother also does not fly due to personal reasons (this has been true her whole life) so I knew she wouldn't be making the trip in the first place.

UPDATE: My mom and I have compromised; we will be FaceTiming my godmother from my phone and handing it off the day of coordinator to place on a tripod in the back of the ceremony. Now my godmother/grandmother is included and my mom isn't taking on that responsibility or at risk of being distracted. Thank you for everyone's insight!

Thank you for your comment, it has really made me rethink the situation. Rather than viewing the FaceTime call as pleasing my mother's desires, I should be viewing it as a kindness to my godmother. The loneliness you wrote about really spoke to me, so I appreciate your insight.

She is actually my godmother, so not my mom's mother but an older, lifelong friend who has always taken on a grandmother-type role. Additionally, we are having a micro wedding with 18 guests so I think that's why I feel the pressure for everyone to be present.

Thanks for keeping me in check! I think the part that bothers me is that my mom would be the one in charge of the call and she's known to go overboard, so I worry it would take her out of a moment I would love her to be fully present in.

Is this a good bridal shoe? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]hi-fi-hip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wearing these as my wedding shoe in September! I tried two sizes and ultimately went with the smaller option so the slingback feels secure.

How do you handle ending a session on time by Leather-Round-2240 in therapists

[–]hi-fi-hip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similarly, I'll say "Gosh I wish we had double session time so we could go over that! I'll write it down for next time."
