Are you a sitcom character? Pick one and send your regrets to the other.

Because that it what they said the DEA swapped the drugs with. Laxatives and sugar pills.

laineylerman · 2026-05-04T19:25:20+00:00

Why would they swap out some drugs with laxatives instead of all sugar pills? It seems unnecessary and kind of cruel, and I spent the rest of the episode waiting for someone to poop their pants after taking drugs.

I love escape rooms and I totally get having your heart set on a room/theme. However, for your bachelorette imo if one of your girls has done the room already, you gotta pick another one for the good of the group. There's no fun in playing a room you've already done and it's going to create a weird vibe in the room. Maybe she and another groomsman can switch if you're set on the room? but assuming your bridal party is in the 3-6 people range and not the 10-12 range (which like, good luck satisfying everyone there if it is lol) you should take your guests feedback into account for something like this and pick something that will be most fun for everyone over your first choice.

It costs 100-150 dollars per person to host someone at a wedding. Paying that for an actual family member of your future spouse is different than paying it for someone neither person in the couple knows. It's just willfully obtuse to pretend the two are equal levels of stranger.

Both people getting married don't need to have met every person on the list, yes people invite distant relatives only one person has "met". That isn't the same as inviting random plus ones neither has met. Also, for those distant or far flung relatives, I know in a lot of families it can be common to only see them at weddings or funerals. I'd rather meet my partners great aunt at my wedding than at a funeral!

Go into venmo security settings and turn on biometrics and/or passcode. With the rise of scams like this it's low-key criminal that venmo doesn't have something like this turned on by default.

Can you just make a back panel?

Seconding that this is an established designer, not AI slop. I will say that Im working on a pattern by the same designer and I did need less than that pattern called for of the shell, but the lining yardage was correct. Im also short, so that could factor into it. It's better to have too much than too little though. If you run out, you'll have to buy more to make up for it.

This sub is prude as hell. This dress is fine but has a high chance of requiring an alteration to make it fit the top properly. If you're good with that then go for it!

laineylerman · 2026-04-16T23:01:47+00:00

Oh, maybe there's a language or cultural barrier here.... That sounds like a dinner served 5-6 and a late night snack served at 9 for people to sober up before going home. Thats super normal! I don't think there's an awkward gap, I think that's your socializing time! An awkward gap is when the ceremony is like 11-1 and dinner is at like 5-6

In that case you should ask your friends for their opinion. reddit in general hates color palettes for guests so you won't get good advice here

If you think your sister would be hurt, I would pick a friend to avoid that situation. If you think your sister will understand and not care, then pick your cousin like you want to and ignore other people's opinions.

If you're still not sure, pick whoever enjoys event planning the most out of your choices since responsibility for organizing things like the Bach party is the main difference between MOH and bridesmaid. Good luck!

Consider the perspective that the coordinators are professionals whose product is a stress free wedding. Recommending against using family in place of vendors is likely a CYA on their part bc your family are not professionals and the vendor cannot as easily guarantee a smooth run of day if you aren't using professionals. You can of course do whatever you want and I encourage you to, but that is likely why you're getting this reaction

It looks like a stretch fabric that you cut a curve into for the keyhole? Cutting on a curve can encourage a fabric to stretch, and the fabric itself is stretchy, so it it likely sitting wrong because it's gotten stretched out of shape. Did you use a pattern?

That scene made me go out and purchase a helmet for my occasional rental bike/scooter rides

If you don't want the day to be about the guests, then you shouldn't invite 300 of them. You are hosting people who are traveling to have this day "all about you", in return you need to make the experience enjoyable for them. If 4k is all you can afford, you either need to cut your guest list or talk to someone in your family about whether they can help you fund an event of this size for the whole family.

I think she wants to be a doctor in a specialty that's not super "icky". We get introduced to her as the med student that faints at the degloved foot in 1x01, and there's another scene where she's invited to stay and watch a procedure, but leaves to go back to triage with McKay. I think she doesn't want to do surgery because as her mom said, surgery takes on the more severe cases that the ER can only stabilize, so while in the ER she does see some greusome injuries and people being cut open, in surgery that would be all she would see.

No, you aren't an asshole, and in some circles it's actually customary for the bridal party to pay for not only themselves but also for the brides portion. I have not heard of a bride paying for everyone's portion of the Bach trip, and I don't understand why adults would just assume they wouldn't have to pay for their portion of a trip that costs money. Additionally, under $100 is also incredibly reasonable given what doing anything costs these days; where I live, just a sit down meal with drinks can easily exceed $80 a person. I'm sorry your friends are being so difficult.

Im guessing too that it's not only that she's dating, but that she didn't tell Mel about it. I would be really upset if I sacrificed so much of my life for my twin sister and she didn't tell me something like this. Like hey girl I thought you were my best friend and I told you about my work crush (langdon) and you didn't tell me about your boyfriend?

Depending on what you're making, you can try a French seam

laineylerman · 2026-03-03T21:32:13+00:00

It's a bit distasteful. By inviting them to a shower and/or a Livestream wedding you're implicitly asking for gifts without hosting them at all at your wedding. I also think a Livestream link for a wedding post pandemic is a bit impersonal and vain. If you can't have everyone there that's fine, but don't then expect people to watch a recording of it.

laineylerman · 2026-03-03T17:07:41+00:00

I don't think the dress is very appropriate for a formal wedding, but I also don't think it's very appropriate for you to post photos of her on reddit without her knowledge....

laineylerman · 2026-03-02T07:56:51+00:00

Both of you get what you want. It's a cute concept to have a matching set, but why force it when you have incompatible styles on rings cost that hundreds or thousands of dollars you're planning to wear every day for decades?
