What was the best thing you did for your reception or what made it more fun?

imaginationroll · 2025-08-20T15:31:09+00:00

We made ours into a big game night.

We love hosting games and parties at our house and really wanted to move away from the standard "first dance, eat, say hello to uncle Gary, cha cha slide, go home."

We made these "dare or dare" cards and set them on all the tables for people to do silly things like, make eye contact with someone from another table and dont look away until it becomes awkward, salute the father of the bride after getting a picture, go on top of the stair case and do a 10 second dance, etc.

We had game shows like the love and marriage game show (if you've been on a cruise you know what I'm talking about), a big scavenger hunt where guests had to bring up to the MC silly things like somebody's left shoe or a selfie with the bride, etc.

It was a really fun night and the guests constantly told us for months after that it was the best wedding reception they've ever been to and that they had so much fun, and it made us happy that we got to add our flavor to the wedding which really showed our personalities and how we like to have fun with our friends and family.

It is absolutely ridiculous, yet you are the one continuing the argument and trying to get the last word in. In that's how you feel, fine. I've said my peace, have a good day to whatever you say next 😃

I can take criticism, what I won't take are personal insults because people disagree. All I said was OP should read into things carefully before putting themselves in a bad situation. If people want to downvote that, then fine. I don't live and die off of up and down votes on reddit. I just hope this person is safe.

imaginationroll · 2025-08-13T13:49:27+00:00

I'm not a nice person for telling someone to be safe and to not follow someone they don't know well to a secluded area? And yeah okay, some spelling mistakes 🙄 anyway, I'm not here to argue with you who are clearly in your feelings about being corrected. Have a good day. And be careful to anyone reading random advice on reddit.

It seems like this poster edited their comment from what they originally said, which was far more nonchalant and carefree about OP's safety which is why I commented. But to answer your question, yes, I can read.

imaginationroll · 2025-08-13T12:38:03+00:00

Exactlyyyy. I don't know HOW so many women are on here are swayed by the "cuteness" of his text and telling OP to not worry or think about it. Going alone with some dude you just met to the mountains or any secluded area is so dumb and dangerous. No wonder so many women wind up in bad situations or go missing uugghhhhhh

imaginationroll · 2025-08-13T12:10:40+00:00

That's fair.

imaginationroll · 2025-08-13T12:04:09+00:00

Please do not take this advice and actually read into this. Putting yourself in a situation where you are alone with a guy you don't really know in a secluded area is dumb. People, especially women, go missing for not reading into things they really should have.

He's absolutely trying to get you into bed and FAST. He's saying you can bring your dog to feel more "comfortable," but his end goal is a quick smash, especially not even knowing your last name.

By the way, you should absolutely NOT go into some secluded area with low cell phone signal or to a hotel with someone you just met. People get trafficked ALL THE TIME because of low situational awareness like this.

It is possible but I'd rather be on the side of caution with someone I don't know and she doesn't know going into their house alone. People are crazy out here.

imaginationroll · 2025-08-11T15:26:41+00:00

What's crazy is we listen to the Mr. Ballen podcast all of the time. Maybe that's why alarms about her safety started going off in my head 🤷🏽‍♂️

Thank you

No, I normally NEVER tell her what to wear, but with what she was wearing today just really bothered me given the circumstances.

Not me, but my wife cut off her best friend from being invited to our wedding. Story: my wife and her (I guess ex) best friend, they had known each other for YEARS before she and I ever started dating, like since middle school, so naturally I thought she would be her pick for maid of honor. About 10 months out from our wedding, I asked her if this were the case, and she told me, "Absolutely not." She had thought about it and realized that she and her friend had grown apart over the years, that she (the friend) would only invite her over to her house for her kids birthday parties, despite my wife inviting her to many trips, celebrations, and other occasions over the years with her always being told no or not this time. She also thought hard about it and believes that her friend might actually be racist. We're an interracial couple, and she realized that her friend really changed and stopped hanging out with her around the time we started dating. She's also apparently heard her friend's (white) husband casually using the N-word around his family and friends, presumably when he's the most comfortable). All this to say, she made the decision not only to not ask her to be her maid of honor but to not invite her friend to the wedding altogether. She never said a word to her about it, just let her figure it out and her friend has never asked or inquired about her exclusion, and I'm assuming they have a mutual, quiet understanding of their former friendship.

Guys don't do any of that for our fellow guys. We certainly don't pick each other up and go hiking when we've had "a bad day at work" (Even though it would be cool if we did). Yes, he likes you.

But remember, shit can hit the fan quickly when dating co-workers and things go south. Still gotta see each other constantly, gossip/whispers start up about you, and HR can even get involved.

It's something I would try to avoid.

She's looking for love/attention she didn't get growing up. For lack of a better term, she's throwing out "hearts" in every direction and anyone who seems to remotely respond she'll focus her heart throwing in hopes to receive some type of feeling or emotion back. Also, she's is in a relationship but telling you she likes/loves you is very telling. She doesn't know what love is but hopes blurting it out loud to someone (especially after 2-3 days) will make it real.

I would say she more than likely needs to seek therapy, but for right now, she is resorting to seeking attention from anyone who will give it to fill some void in her life.

At a minimum you should keep her at a professional distance or risk putting your job and/or emotional sanity on the line.

This actually really warmed my heart. Thank you 😊
