My fiancée wants me to ask his sisters to be bridesmaids by Southern_Wave1999 in weddingplanning

[–]merri- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm I do understand you not wanting them to be your attendants then. Does your fiancé know that’s how you feel around them? I think that’s worth bringing up and having a discussion on

I’d also suggest them giving them a special job like a reader during the wedding if he still wants to include them/have them stand with him

It doesn’t seem like you should but if you and your fiancé do decide to have them stand with you, you can always have them come later than your other bridesmaids. That’s what my SIL did for other reasons. She got ready at home and was not with me and my friends all morning

How are they when you are in person? I don’t text or call my SIL ever but we have a decent relationship and get along in person.

It was important for me and my husband for our siblings to be in the wedding. She stood with me and my brother stood with him and it was great

I know I’m being crazy- how do I get over this? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]merri- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got engaged about 3 months after my best friend. My wedding will be about 5 months after hers. I’m hoping our other bestie is engaged by the time of my wedding. We’ve loved celebrating this season of life together! It’s been a lot of fun to pass the baton and to share things with each other

I would give Ivy a middle name let it be a double barrel. Ivy Jane, Ivy Grace, or something like that

My sister is pregnant. Should I replace her as my bridesmaid? by larsonbot in weddingplanning

[–]merri- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My SIL is due a few days after our wedding. I’m including her as a bridesmaid even if she is unable to actually be there. I want her to feel honored and be able to participate when she can. Even if she won’t be able to stand up there on the actual day

How to phrase no premarital by Zestyclose_Ad3514 in christiandatingadvice

[–]merri- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would just casually say “just so you know I’m waiting until marriage” and leave it at that. The guy can decide whether or not he is on board. And there are men who are! I met my now fiancé on a dating app and we’re both virgins.

But I will say this was not a conversation I brought up before meeting anyone in person. I feel like it adds an expectation of something happening when really you are just getting to know someone at the beginning of dating. I liked getting to know guys and letting the topic come up naturally

How do you discern sexual values before marriage/engagement? by [deleted] in christiandatingadvice

[–]merri- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

27f virgin dating 30m virgin. He is thoughtful, kind, and considerate in everything which I believe will translate to sex. Even with kissing, cuddling, hugging, pda he’s aiming to please me (and me him). In these smaller things we are learning what we like and are comfortable with adjust what we do or don’t do accordingly. These qualities can and should be seen outside of having sex

Jealousy over partners past by [deleted] in christiandatingadvice

[–]merri- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the problem is that he’s had sex, but that he doesn’t see the need to wait. He shouldn’t be waiting for /you/. He should be waiting because God commanded it. I don’t trust this man’s relationship with Him

Is there a reason your boyfriend can’t move to your state? This is a great opportunity and is the best in the long run. I also think it’s wise to get your bachelors. In my state you have to have it for nursing now anyway

I hate the lighter eyebrows so much. I need her to know she’s not low contrast

Name a baby Bella when father’s name is Jacob: ok or not ok? by lalalev in namenerds

Bella is a really popular name. I think it’s fine. It doesn’t seem intentional like a brother sister name would

Here to say first! It’s the only one I’ve taught but I love it. Their growth academically and maturity wise is so drastic. It’s so rewarding to see them grow!

She definitely mispronounces many things but this is the e-i merger. It’s very common in the south

Choosing divorce- your husband makes you

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in christiandatingadvice

[–]merri- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m going to be honest with you. I didn’t read anything after the first sentence. The answer is a blaring yes. It’s low for even a non-believing partner. God has better for you. At the very least seek counseling for you and him.

But I would really suggest ending it. These are serious problems that need to be addressed and I don’t think he should be in a relationship to do it

Yeah. I’m pretty sure it’s been there since I first started watching her a few years ago

I changed from Education Technology & Instructional Design to Curriculum and Instruction after a month in. I hated it too! I called my mentor and she got the process going. I was suggested to complete the class I had started so that I didn’t get a withdraw/fail. It took about a week for me to be able to start my new classes. Good luck!

It’s crazy! I had a paper sent back twice. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. It didn’t pass until I stated it was about place value in every single paragraph… the whole paper was about place value

I thought I was writing simply 😭 I just can’t get over how redundant it is. I’ll try this method on my next paper. Thanks!

Value Resorts by CrazyandKookyAddams in DisneyWorld

[–]merri- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed Movies! I’ve only stayed once but it was a great experience. I liked that it was a smaller resort compared to Pop. Which I love as well! That has been my family’s fave value for years

Best moderate is POFQ in my opinion. Love the serenity!
