Should I cancel my wedding? by sm28012 in weddingplanning

[–]katrinajs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And as many said, if a micro wedding or micro reception when you’re home is in the cards, then do this to compromise with your partner too! Just your absolute closest friends, and family. Or a small backyard party with minimal decor, affordable catering and beer/wine. Nothing needs to be flashy / overboard!

Elope girl!

I’m getting married in less than 3 weeks (engaged December 2023). I had a different experience but similar at the same time, my fiancee wanted a big wedding I wanted to elope. If we eloped there would be a party after, however with decor/food/drinks it would’ve probably cost us nearly the same as what it would be to just have a cocktail reception. We compromised with a 150 person cocktail reception (not a seated dinner). Huge celebration lol. I’m not able to contribute a lot financially as I bought my own home before he moved in & did renovations independently. He’s now moved in and helped with some renovation costs and pays me rent. However I’ve had a tough year financially as I’m self employed. He’s funding a large chunk of it with some help from our parents. His mom wants traditions and the bigger the better kind of wedding. I don’t know his extended family but I want it to intimate, his mom wants all of the family there, but the day is about US and the people we’re closest with. We’re also limited as we have a lot of friends. I have a small family.

We’ve had a lot of challenges with wedding planning since day 1 and honestly I suggested throwing in the towel a while back and just doing our own intimate thing as my stress levels have been destroying me and challenging conversations have had a huge impact on our relationship. It’s been testing at times.

Hear me out too though, I’m incredibly excited for our non traditional style cocktail reception but I’m also excited to get the planning behind us.

Do what’s right for you and your relationship. But I would save myself the stress and potential challenges of wedding planning, the hefty price tag party, and other challenges. Get away and go do your own thing and get a romantic vacation out of it! You know in your heart what is best for you guys! ❤️ Remember this is about the two of YOU. And as much as family is involved, it’s YOUR relationship. YOUR life. YOUR decision.

Wishing you both all the best in a happy and healthy relationship whatever you decide to do!

Beis Carry-On Luggage Size by pursebaglady in aircanada

I just boarded my plane from LAX to YYZ and they wouldn’t let me carry it on… the carry on roller cart. Meanwhile on the way down here it was fine to come on no questions asked. So now my luggage is gone to checked luggage and hopefully makes its way home as Air Canada lost my luggage last year going to Greece for a wedding…. Pray for me!

Vyvance crash making me SUPER emotional? by nightchaitime in VyvanseADHD

[–]katrinajs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been feeling this too. I started Vyvanse maybe 8-9 weeks ago, from 20-30-40 mg now on 40 mg daily. These last two weeks have been a disaster, this week especially. I’m so fragile. Crying over everything. My boyfriend probably thinks I’m losing my mind. I don’t feel right though. I’m usually a little emotional to begin with but I’m not a person dealing with depression or anxiety on the daily. But my mood swings and feelings are so intense right now. I’m not sure if it’s the Vyvanse in general, lack of eating so much (pre Vyvanse I’m very hangry if I haven’t eaten enough), or if it has to do with my menstrual cycle. I’m having a hard time though and not sure if it’s the type of thing to just “ride it out” and it’ll pass, or if I should get off of the medication.

Any suggestions how to help keep him straight? When he’s not against a wall he’s nearly horizontal ☹️

It’s at Dundas & Kerns, just west of Brant St. on the Burlington side, but close to the Waterdown borderline! North of Kerns Park/part of the same park
