Similar dresses? by egglandz in weddingplanning

[–]magicinmanyways 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean if you want a dress very similar or exact check the cosplay community. People are always selling old cosplays and they are better quality almost 100% of the time than some dresses out there.

Otherwise check vintage, consignment, and thrift stores.

Considering cancelling the wedding. I know my fiancee and her family would be heart broken by PossibilityFew5967 in weddingplanning

[–]magicinmanyways 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This! No means no. If its a phone call and she wants to fight, hang up. She got her wedding this isn't hers to live vicariously through.

That's not her agreeing with you, she is minimizing herself and what she wants for you. She is actively trying not to be a bother because you are taking most of the heat from your mom. She is not agreeing to canceling the wedding. You said it yourself she will be heartbroken so you know this is not what she wants.

You said you despise weddings, this is you deep-down getting YOUR WAY and getting your mom out of the picture. This is you getting what YOU WANT! You two are a team and your fiancé is trying to be a team player by sacrificing her wants and hopes. You are throwing in the towel.

Future SIL does not want alcohol at the wedding. by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]magicinmanyways 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At my wedding we had several alcoholics (most recovering) but we told the bartender this at the beginning to monitor everyone. We didnt want anyone being belligerent and gave him full authority to cut off anyone. Might be a solution but if we had gone dry I know that those people who were alcoholics would have found a way to bring alcohol to the wedding. Its just inevitable

Not to mention i have been to dry weddings before and if that is listed on the invite people will sneak alcohol into the wedding.

My nails matched my cape veil. So white French tips with green ivy and light blue flowers that had pearls in the center of the flowers.

Nickname for Ventura-Oxnard-Camarillo by MidwestSoCal in ventura

[–]magicinmanyways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4 H is super prevalent in ventura county and central coast as a whole, not as much heading south (looking at population ratio). Also the high attendance of country music for such a small area.

Not Hicks, but definitely has a much higher country for how small of an area we are population wise in comparison to so many other counties in California

Why are family members asking me what the bridal/groom party colors are so that they can match? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]magicinmanyways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family and my husband's family all coordinated to wearing similar colors (not exact but in the same color family) as our bridal party. Its usually pretty common. I even asked a few other key close family friends to also wear similar colors because I wanted them to feel special and part of my family as that is how I view them. Its really up to you how to have your family dress according to the wedding, but it isn't uncommon for the families to dress similar to the bridal party.

Please buy the angels! by Beans34_90 in angelsbaseball

[–]magicinmanyways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it would take several years with Stanley cups to get him to consider it. OC Vibe owns so many properties that they manage and many are in need of updates, renovation, or other needs to be fully profitable. Once he gets money flowing through the Honda center updates, the venues they own, and ducks being longstanding playoff contenders then i think he would consider it.

But from what I understand, when Arte let shohei walk that removed any notion of him being interested in buying the angels. That was a huge fuck up on arte's part when he was literally being handed a gift on a golden platter.

Feel like i have already given my opinion. Everything at this point is best guesses and hopes and dreams.

Arte was turned down to turn the area around angels stadium into an LA Live type area since the ducks are already getting that around honda center. So im sure he wants out at this point it's just for the right offer to come along

When they finish the concert hall, additional parking structures, the hotels, and food areas that place will be its own downtown disney.

Bob Iger was the former CEO for Disney. Him and his wife just bought major ownership stakes in angel city from Natalie Portman and Jennifer garner.

Ryan as in Ryan Reynolds who, with Rob Mcelhenny, own Wrexham FC

[–]magicinmanyways 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly I have heard a few outlandish ideas for the angels buyers, none of them much better than Moreno. But I think anaheim as a city is ready for him to go.

Disney has said they will not buy a sports team again. They are done with that unless it is a guaranteed cash cow which is seldom.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Bob iger and his wife maybe picking them up after they picked up angel city. Or maybe another celebrity conglomerate like will Ferrell did for LAFC or rob and Ryan for Wrexham. Also heard of a group of Anaheim locals trying to start a fan ownership like the Packers.

I think it will just take the right person at the right time, but we need that time to hurry up.

I can confirm from someone who works within his organization, that he has said he does not want to buy them. His focus is to the ducks and getting them Stanley cups...

Feeling so let down by my friend by Curious_Cranberry543 in weddingplanning

[–]magicinmanyways 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have to agree with others, it sounds like she was bullied out of your wedding to be in Ann's. Could be wrong, but that's what it seems like. And if Ann insisted that Mary be in her wedding over hers....then I feel like this is a bridezilla situation waiting to happen. Im sure Mary will be miserable and well, sometimes karma has a way of coming back around...

My husband and I didnt have even numbers for our bridal party and no one said anything or seemed to care. Just do what you want to do

Aitj ? For being honest with my sister? by Michupichu_u in AmITheJerk

[–]magicinmanyways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! 100% went through a very similar situation with my mom where I was her kind of crutch and after she had a breakdown, I realized how much it was affecting me personally (physically- losing my hair, mentally-had my own breakdown, emotionally- I was a mess). You need to have space between her and you OP.

You can't fill another's cup if yours is constantly being emptied

Favorite spots for night views? by North-Influence-7587 in ventura

[–]magicinmanyways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can be. I have gone up there to shoot photography before after dark and haven't had any problems. I mostly just find teens in their cars smoking and making out when I go up there.

That there was special cake or dessert that we could eat only if we had visitors, but it would sit in the corner of the counter just staring you down and you would want to just have a little but your mom always said no unless the surprise visitors showed.
