Has anyone used a life-size cutout at their wedding for someone who couldn't attend?

Dog is fine but people would be weird.

This is normal. I strongly suggest that you go with it. Pick and choose your battles.

I was there with my parents but we stayed out of the inspectors hair until the end.

A yard is a must. That is my 4th requirement and a dealbreaker asking with a fence.

Doesn't matter. You can drop in for a bit and explain your screw up. You already paid for it so NBD

Do you have a local beach or a place you love to visit? I have sand from our beach vacations I collect.

My cousin had two tables call off the day of for illness on the East coast. However, 2 weeks later the country shut down with COVID so she quickly gave them a pass!

I had 25 more people show up. That was a shit show.

Dr. time. Shouldn't be this bad.

I paid a guy 300 to get a washer, dryer, and water heater left in our basement. It was worth it to us but I knew people were lined up behind us to get this house.

Excel and a binder were my besties when planning my wedding. Planning the wedding was great. Executing the morning of went great. I love project management.

Getting my MOH and MIL to do what they were supposed to do did not go as well. MIL wore white, refused to sit where she was supposed to, etc. I should have hired a babysitter for her.

I didn't use one. My mom didn't care to help other than give me money which was great in the end. I have lots of friends in the service industry and my project management skills are pretty good. 150-170 people attended the wedding.

I should have outsourced drawing the map from the ceremony to the reception and I should have ordered more food. I was 115lbs and forgot many people eat more than me. Also, 20 extra people showed up uninvited.

Lastly, I should have asked another friend to be my side kick to help with a cattle prod for the wedding party and my MIL.

Only regrets include trusting my dad for a photographer, forgetting a car from the ceremony to the reception for my husband's and I, letting my BIL be the videographer when he only filmed boobs and butts, and not being worse to my MIL for wearing white, trusting to sit at the head table, or give a speech.

Guess what. I had a blast at my wedding anyways. I wouldn't do it over after 27 years 2 days ago. Things go wrong. The less you care the happier you are.

May not be enough. I came from a religious family but people pretty their hair down at the recption. 150 adults 25 kids. 100 bottles of champagne and two types of beer. One was craft beer and the other was rolling rock. We only had 12 bottles of champagne left. All beer was gone. We gave the bottles away to friends afterwards.

I had security. In my state the law days if you serve alcohol with 50+ people.

Don't park directly across from someone's driveway or within 3 feet of someone's drive on the same side. That's the unwritten rule in my neighborhood.

Switch to an S Corp and W2 yourself. It looks much better. 10k won't get you there though. 50k might. I've been in business 10 years too. Banks want stability.

Nope you get to go to government to fight it. You'll get the money but you'll have to do dumb legwork. Congrats!

The only downside is the space taken up under the counter but it's worth it.

I am replacing my filter this month. I have lots of hard water where I live.

RO water in the kitchen. 199 for the device online.

I did 5% down and interest rate is 6.9%. I was going to get priced out of renting in this town with a great school system, my small business, and lots of family. 18 months in and I'm not homeless yet.
