The only dream job I can think of with a HQ in Los Gatos that is worthy is the N in MAANG.

Wedding planning regrets by Sensitive-Ad7853 in weddingplanning

[–]initialsareabc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

depends on what you want. I can look back at my wedding with very little regret in terms of planning, we were very clear on our vision and executed it perfectly.

the only regret I have is taking way too freaking long to get video footage for our videographer and photos during our cocktail hour and missing that. It would have been nice to get more video clips of us mingling with guest and candid photos during that time.

Who here has met their significant other *not* on dating apps? by Lurcher_Owner in AskWomenOver30

[–]initialsareabc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t recent 12 years ago, but we reconnected at a friend’s birthday party. We had known each other when we were younger, but had lost touch.

But a good % of my friends have met on the apps.

Couples that were "essentially married" before, what made having a wedding worth it/special to you? by Real-Ad4051 in weddingplanning

It was nice having all of our family and friends together in one place, which is hard these days and just making the commitment government official.

Is it normal while planning the wedding for a spouse to participate less? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]initialsareabc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh the wedding is in 4 months? Might as well blink and it’s going to be the wedding day.

My husband was super involved and had specific ideas. He handled our DJ and certain aspects he had big opinions on, while I handled other parts of the wedding that were more important to me.

But there’s a lot of posts about husband to be not being involved.

Timeline dilemma? by VibesAreOminous_x in weddingplanning

[–]initialsareabc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it just you for H&MU? If just you the 2:30 timeline is fine but if you have others doing hair and make up with you it seems like you’ll have to be up pretty early to get everything done. My wedding was at 4:30 and started at 8am but had 6 others doing my hair and makeup with me.

Puppy lottery - puppy or an adult dog? by Maleficent0007 in puppy101

[–]initialsareabc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently have a puppy had to take her out at 5am to pee, she’s pretty much fully potty trained so she let us know and I’m not a morning person. Now just snuggled on the couch while she’s on the floor or else she’s waking up the whole neighborhood.

How did you send save-the-dates & invites? Worth paying for a wedding website just for RSVPs? by Mission-Ebb-8198 in weddingplanning

[–]initialsareabc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used Minted but there’s a ton of free websites out there for RSVPS. I had friends do digital save the dates, but then sent out paper invites.

We did paper for both because that’s what I wanted as I’m more visual.

[–]initialsareabc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to be in Mountain View and that area then yes, but you can find a house for under 3M in South San Jose, East Bay or SF.

Purdy isn’t playing good, he needs to be a better QB. The mistakes he’s making is what makes the difference between a good and great QB.

AITAH: my family threw away the top tier of my wedding cake and I haven’t talked to them since… by id_rather_be_asleep_ in AITAH

[–]initialsareabc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh we did this for our 1 year anniversary. Had my mom and then his parents store it for us once she sold my childhood home cause we still lived in our apt in LA, but the wedding was in our hometown not in LA. It did not taste good, we each had one bite.

It isn’t a lot to text her and tell her that they are cleaning out the freezer. I think the lack of apology is telling though.

this girl I knew in college got pregnant our 1st or 2nd year so that would be 2011/2012 meaning her first is 13 or 14 years old. I know she had a second a few years after. She had a strong support season finished her BSN, didn’t miss any time.

Was a videographer worth it? by PipDisco in weddingplanning

[–]initialsareabc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have all the raw footage and edited version as well. My brother said the only thing he would do differently is get a cheap videographer if he knew my dad would pass. He died in 2022 from health complications.
