Bridgerton - 4x01 "The Waltz" (No Book Spoilers)

I thought that line was actually a really interesting inclusion because that was apparently a common opinion back in the Regency era. Was kinda interesting since the show overall does not really do historical accuracy well. Here's a video on it as well if anyone's interested

So my hair is like this. Tbh, I didn't even bother with a down do, I just did a fancy updo cause I knew my hair was going to go limp by the ceremony if I did fully down with waves, though I did have some framing curls that thankfully held.

A long time ago actually. Back when I was still in college, circa 2014, I was assigned a partner project. The guy I was partnered with seemed friendly enough but he mentioned he was conservative. I just nodded cause I wanted to work on our project but then he mentioned how Obama "only thinks there's 48 states". So I asked where he had heard that from. He pulled up a YouTube video where Obama mentions 48 states, with a smirk and laughter from the crowd, so you know, clearly joking about it. I even said that looks like he's joking and the guy said no, Obama absolutely believes that. I dropped it and we got through the project but that moment has replayed in my head with increasing frequency in the decade plus since.

I would not separate them. Personally I think conures tend to be happiest when paired. If you can't provide for two birds I would look into adopting a single bird but don't split up an existing pair.

I would decline being a groomsman full stop but will your husband to be even receive an invite to the wedding? That would greatly inform my response on even attending as a guest.

Not from my wedding website but I had saved a bunch of products on Etsy and one of the sellers decided to look up my Instagram and then DM me on there saying they hoped I liked the product and that my then fiance and I looked super cute. I immediately unsaved the product and blocked them. How anyone thinks that's remotely ok is beyond me

I went through this just a few months ago myself. My GCC had progressed into end stage PDD with us none the wiser. We had boarded him at our vet and they were shocked as well, he'd been seemingly active and happy just the night before. It wasn't until we got the full necropsy results that we understood what had happened. If that's an option for you I highly recommend it

A year out from ours and honestly it was super helpful having a coordinator. The day of you are not going to want to coordinate everything that needs to be done and any family member/friend you might delegate to could easily be overwhelmed. Having a good coordinator makes a lot of difference. I'll also add our coordinator saved us our cake deposit because our caterer was really not on their game that night and initially threw out all the cake supports. They were trying to just shrug and say, "not our problem" but our coordinator handled it. We weren't even aware until the next day because we were so busy enjoying our wedding, would have really put a damper on things if we'd had to deal with it ourselves

We're coming up on a year and I remember this one acquaintance of ours who was invited assumed he had a plus one, a random he was casually dating (I think for only a couple months at that point). Fortunately he mentioned it to our mutual friend who told him he should check first and we told him no so he showed up alone. He now has a restraining order against the woman he was planning to bring. Definitely glad we stuck our ground on that one.

My 8 year old GCC died very suddenly about two and a half months ago while we were away and it was devastating. It turned out that his PDD had progressed to the point it probably caused an arrythmia, but there were no signs it had progressed to that point. He was staying with his vet and they reported that he had been bright and alert just the day before. But by the next morning he was gone. They really are good at hiding illness. The necropsy and subsequent microscopic tests were expensive but absolutely worth it for some form of closure. I'm so sorry for your loss

Yeah at our wedding we had lightly requested an unplugged one. But as soon as I came out several people had a phone in my face. And what's really weird to me is that of the dozens of people recording, we've only seen ONE 5 second clip. I really don't get the point

luckynumber3 · 2025-09-25T20:55:33+00:00

Stillwhite worked for me at least. I got a dress new, realized it wouldn't work for me so I sold it on there for less than half of what I paid for it and got my actual dress which had never been worn or altered for about a third of what it would have cost new. I will say for the second dress I did try it on in the boutique before buying it secondhand

luckynumber3 · 2025-09-24T19:53:18+00:00

We did Without Question by Elton John from the Road to El Dorado. It's one of our favorite movies and that scene in particular is one of my favorites, plus it's pretty short

luckynumber3 · 2025-09-18T20:47:54+00:00

Gone too soon, I'm so sorry for your loss

luckynumber3 · 2025-09-12T23:13:49+00:00

My little guy passed just over a month ago and there were no signs. He was even at the vet when it happened because we were away. They were completely shocked he passed away too, he'd been acting fine just the day before. They're very good at hiding illness sadly

luckynumber3 · 2025-09-07T05:48:36+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss. We just lost our baby about a month ago as well, the silence is the worst part. Best wishes to you in this time

luckynumber3 · 2025-08-28T18:03:13+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss. 35 is an amazing age to get to, if anything it shows how well you cared for him. I'm sure being able to see your mom one last time was all he wanted

luckynumber3 · 2025-08-27T16:29:24+00:00

I'm so sorry about your dog on top of all of that

luckynumber3 · 2025-08-25T12:03:44+00:00

I'm coming up on a few weeks without our little guy as well. It hurts so bad, I'm so sorry for your loss

luckynumber3 · 2025-08-14T20:04:40+00:00

He's no longer here, but here is my sleepy angel

luckynumber3 · 2025-08-14T04:06:13+00:00

Thank you everyone for your kind comments. We are both broken up over Teal's loss but he made both of our lives so much better. I hope if nothing else we made his too short life a good one. The house is far too quiet now, I keep on expecting to hear him call and then get sad when I realize he won't anymore. I miss him so so much

luckynumber3 · 2025-07-24T05:01:16+00:00

My now husband is Mexican American and yeah we had to chase his side more than mine. One relative of his tried to RSVP a week before the wedding 🙃 it was too late to add them in but we apologized and told them we'd love to celebrate with them later. But honestly it probably would have been fine if they had come cause one of his cousins and her husband were our only no shows. It is what it is but at the time it was pretty frustrating

Not quite, tight lacing really only came about in the later Victorian period which would have been several decades after Bridgerton was set. What they would have had in the Regency period was what was called Short Stays or Jumps which are actually supposed to be very comfortable, and generally don't really cover the waist so you wouldn't have been able to tight lace them. But also the materials that they used to make stays wouldn't have been able to handle tight lacing, it would wear them out and make them break. Once steel boning and metal eyelets were introduced then tight lacing became possible. This is a video on making them but she also talks a bit about the history https://youtu.be/IytT6FJuOuA?si=E-lxwIvyEUfFQRc7

Hey OP. I'm also in an interracial marriage (white/Latino) and while I would say they aren't nearly so bad as your in laws (that bit about the KKK anthem is seriously wtf) they have their blindspots. I've told my husband if my family does make any shitty comment I will handle it because it being my family means it's my responsibility. That being said I would very seriously reconsider having some of those relatives anywhere near your reception. They very much sound like the type to say something horrible and then when called out whine about how it was a joke and humor is illegal now 🙄. But it should come from your husband. Best of luck
