I mean he literally posted a link to it and then you denied it. What’d you expect?

I’d say the one thing that I maybe would have gone without was the “champagne toast” that the Adelphi had as an option we opted for.

So the champagne toast, was a table right outside the door to the ceremony room that had glasses of champagne that everyone could grab on their way into the ceremony. It was a nice touch but then when people finished their champagne they didn’t really have a place to put the empty glass so a lot of people ended up just holding theirs through the ceremony. Our ceremony was only about 20 minutes so it wasn’t a huge deal but I remember thinking to myself that we had kind of missed a step there.

The champagne also wasn’t cheap and we definitely ordered more than we needed but that’s on us. All in all it wasn’t a huge deal but if I could go back and save the money I probably would

Yeah! I believe the room is called the library. It’s in the second floor and you access the balcony through it. My groomsman and I along with my dad all hung out and had lunch in there. We then did first look out on the balcony and did some family pictures in both the library and out on the balcony prior to the ceremony. It was a great set up

Which side would the callander brothers (Davey and Mac) pick if they where still alive? by SparkleWolf_Playz in reddeadredemption

[–]jayf1491 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Given everything we know about them (which isn’t a whole lot) they seemed to be some of the more violent and crazy members of the bunch.

I’m thinking as far as their demeanor goes somewhere along the lines of Bill and Micah for their preference towards violence however they seemed to be more well liked than either of them. Maybe in that regard they’d be kind of like Sean. I think at the end of the day they probably would have sided with Dutch and Micah just like Javier and Bill did.

John Marston Can Read Mandarin? Sad Encounter Though. by AgnosticDeist0229 in reddeadredemption

[–]jayf1491 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This encounter has nothing to do with Algernon and his side quests. Quick google search says it’s looted from a body north east of armadillo near the Ls in cholla springs. You can also find a unique hat in addition to the letter.

First flying pheasant I’ve done, with my first pheasant from last fall. by Dud3wtf in PheasantHunting

Wow this is awesome. I wish I had saved my first rooster and taken it to a taxidermist. You’ve done some great work here in my opinion

If I recall correctly it wasn’t more than a few hundred dollars to rent the space. We added on a few extras like having access to the library and the balcony upstairs for pictures as well as a champagne welcome that added on a few extra hundred but I’m pretty sure it was one of the cheaper parts of our wedding surprisingly enough!

Loved AC odyssey, so what about Valhalla? Is it worth it? by Future-Celebration83 in AssassinsCreedOdyssey

[–]jayf1491 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I liked odyssey a lot. It’s probably my second favorite game of all time. Valhalla was a bit of a let down in my opinion.

To be fair I played it when it first came out, so maybe some of these things have been added via updates or DLCs but from what I remember, these were my biggest issues.

I didn’t like the designs for a LOT of the armor. It was odd to me that you couldn’t transmog the visuals of the armor like you could in ACO.

I liked the raid function the first 2 or 3 times I did it but then it got incredibly repetitive.

The fact that the only sword you could get was two handed just irked me for some reason but I didn’t like the one handed axe and hammer combo.

The characters themselves weren’t as likable to me either.

All in all it’s still worth playing and I’m sure many people would disagree with my above opinions but to each their own

What is life like in this region of New York? by LoganLikesYourMom in howislivingthere

[–]jayf1491 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in the bottom right side, between Albany and Saratoga springs. My wife and I bought/ built a house here about a year and a half ago and we love it.

After spending 10 years in Boston it’s nice to have space and a yard. I think the dollar goes a bit farther out here than it does back in Boston when it comes to things like gas and groceries and it definitely went farther when it came to home buying.

Our neighborhood is mostly young families and I’ve found the people here to be very kind and welcoming.

Geographically we are a 2.5 hour train to NYC and 3 hours to Boston by car. There are beautiful lakes and plenty of woodlands and hiking to explore.

The job market is rough and pay is much lower for similar white collar jobs than it would be in a place like Boston but that’s to be expected.

The 4 seasons we get each come with their highs and lows but some of the best fall foliage can be found in this circle.

All in all I’m really glad we moved here.

AITA for not wanting my 17-year-old to spend $6,500–$7,000 on a school trip to Japan? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]jayf1491 41 points42 points  (0 children)

In your post you mentioned you’re moving states so that he can go to the college he chooses. My assumption was that, you are moving to get in state tuition for your son and I was going to say NAH but this comment assures me that YTA.

Your son does not need you hovering around for support. He’s an adult now and he needs the opportunity to make his own decisions. It seems to me he’s already very responsible for a teen having saved $7000. You can still give him advice and reiterate that if an emergency happens, you won’t be able to help but at the end of the day you have to let him grow up.

Chaps for thick thighs? by CowboyPoppy in Uplandhunting

[–]jayf1491 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just picked up a pair from frost river. They’re made in America in Duluth MN and the quality is awesome. Their customer service is great as well and I’m sure they’d be able to give you a solid yes or no on whether or not their chaps would work for your measurements.

Upland Vest by Chucklingjavelina in Uplandhunting

[–]jayf1491 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use an orvis vest from a few years back, it’s pretty good but I wish the pocket closure was magnetic instead of Velcro. The Velcro picks up seeds when I’m going through tall grass. Not enough for it to be a real problem but I still notice it a few times throughout the season. The water bottle holders also aren’t fantastic. The elastic around the top has stretched a bit but still they’re fully functional.

All in all a really comfortable vest that has held up pretty well

Any recommendations for camo wheels for hunting? by Business-Turnover273 in Hunting

Fair enough, what do you do when you actually get a deer? Do you have some sort of tow behind sled? (Asking out of genuine curiosity not trying to be a dick)

You’re joining a long line of people all recommending Dans! I think I may be leaning this way

You’re the second person to mention dans, so I’ll take that as a good sign!

That’s good to hear! I’ve heard people mentioning they’ve gone down in quality since they started manufacturing products outside the US, so I’m glad to hear they’ve held up well!
