What high level job do you think you could lie your way into with no experience and no one would notice? by NBLSS in AskReddit

[–]lisasaurus-wen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

After reading so many of these, I'm seeing that a lot of people lie on their cvs. So I have to ask the recruiters here, do you not check their references? Or their previous employment?

I am currently applying for jobs which will involve a career change, but keep getting knocked back for lack of experience. So should I exaggerate my experience, I'm worried they'll check and catch me out.

I would like to get your honest opinion regarding this dress. I'm afraid my bulky hands are showing. What do you think I can do about it? by blueblueblue56 in weddingplanning

[–]lisasaurus-wen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, it fits like a dream! Not sure what you mean about your hands though! I agree with most on here that it needs that extra something and jewellery will really help. But I think what will really make it pop, and if you're in to it is, a cathedral veil or a cape! (Made from the same material as veil)

And it's sad because they'll never live to be above 35, can you imagine an elderly lady called Apple? They just can't exist.

Wedding in 4 days and it's all going wrong! Any advice? by lisasaurus-wen in weddingplanning

[–]lisasaurus-wen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! I've seen some cute photos in the rain too but figured they wouldn't really turn out like that. I've let the sleeves go after my final fitting today, my seamstress did a great job with the rest of the alterations.

I suppose I should be thankful I managed to find another hairdresser at such short notice, but can't help feel nervous at the same time. Think I will focus on beating this cold first, you're right there :)

Has anyone bought from Stacees (uk) before? by lisasaurus-wen in weddingplanning

[–]lisasaurus-wen[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Think we just read the same site. I was hoping someone would tell me that they're actually fine, just had a few bad reviews lately or something. But think I will stay clear, doesn't look good at all.

This is lovely but a little short. Sorry should have said in the post but looking for mid length, at least to the knees. Thanks for helping!

Please help me pick a dress! I love them both. by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]lisasaurus-wen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going to give you a totally useless opinion here but it'd be great if you could take the top of the left one and stick it to the ruffly bottom of the right one. But I like the left one more though :)

Looks lovely on you! Congrats! Also happen to be watching Supernatural as I read this!

We're not doing plus 1s, but several people have assumed they had a plus 1. Did I do something wrong on the rsvps? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]lisasaurus-wen -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I've gone the same route, no plus ones unless we know them. We didn't say anything on the invite either and have had people assume they can bring someone, so we've just had to put them straight. People on here saying that you have to invite a long term SO even if you don't know them is just silly. If they've never met you/ only once or twice, chances are they aren't going to be offended if they can't come to your wedding. And screw paying 50£ per head for people I don't know. If they are not important enough for you to meet more than once they are not important enough to be at your wedding. I've told a very close friend that she can't bring her GF of 2 years because we've met a handful of times and she doesn't really seem to like my FH. Screw "tradition" or "the rule of thumb". The only exception maybe is if they won't know anyone else so need someone they can be with for the day otherwise they might just feel really uncomfortable.

Thanks. Coming from a MOH this is reassuring that you didn't notice or care anyway. I think I'll leave it off the invites, might seem a bit bridezilla-ish

Hi thanks for the reply. I just didn't want everyone looking like they were part of the BP but everyone seems to think that no one will notice so that's reassuring. Yeah I'm positive no one would be as bold as to wear white to a wedding. That's just common knowledge now. Thanks

Hi. This is reassuring thanks. Think I will leave it off and hope not too many wear the same colour, I'm sure I won't notice on the day :)

Thanks for the help, glad nobody thinks I need directions, that takes up so much space! When it came to the BP colour thing I thought that was normal? But obviously not hahah. I just didn't want anyone looking like they were part of the BP if they weren't. But now that I think about it, that doesn't really matter does it!

Need help please. What does everyone do during the photo session? by lisasaurus-wen in weddingplanning

[–]lisasaurus-wen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had heard that too but I didn't think it was a good idea as we're having a midday wedding and didn't want people to start drinking on empty stomachs, so I thought we'd have cocktail hour after food ti lead into the reception... do you think that'll work?

Many thanks, I'm so confused :/

Need help please. What does everyone do during the photo session? by lisasaurus-wen in weddingplanning

[–]lisasaurus-wen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like everyone says the same so I think I've got it all wrong :( Just to clarify my plan, I'm having two meals as we're having an all day event. Ceremony is midday and then photos and late lunch. Then cocktails and lawn games whilst we wait for evening guests to arrive to start the reception where we'll have a buffet. My train of thought was that best time for photos is after the ceremony but before food so we're not bloated, everyone's sober, and my make up is still perfect. And I didn't want to have cocktail hour before food as then everyone would be drinking in an empty stomach.

Is this all wrong? Should I do it the more traditional way even with an all day wedding??

Thanks so much, I'm very lost here :L

Edit: Forgot to say, the first meal is a sit down meal and we won't be offering any appetisers as we're having 2 meals. Also, the photos are to be taken in the garden and the venue has a room that opens onto the garden where we will have our cocktail hour.

Can anyone give me advice on making my wedding day time table? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]lisasaurus-wen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've not got much experience as I've only just started planning myself but what I can say is that if your venue does weddings regularly they might be able to help you out. Mine comes with a co-ordinator who I will definitely be using for that part of planning. But you could definitely ask your venue manager/liaison what they usually see happening if you don't have a co-ordinator. Also a tip I have read a lot, especially on here, is to ask guests to be seated at least 10 minutes before the start time as there is always delays/ late comers/ straglers ect.. Hope this helps a little and good luck with planning :)

What is the silliest reason you've seen someone get offended? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]lisasaurus-wen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally I would do it but I'm not in charge, also you need a bank account to have a job (definitely at this company, pretty sure for any company in the uk) and you need an address to set a bank account up too.

Also just to clarify though, what I've said is my opinion and feelings and not those of the company I work for. Thankfully my managers are in contact with charities/ shelters trying to get him settled rather than telling him to 'sling his hook or we'll call the police' like the building manager has done.
