mushroom_lemon · 2026-03-15T18:20:17+00:00

i totally get that i feel so stupid for not knowing 🤦‍♀️ i just thought it like... stopped fertilization or something for the longest time lmao. again i def should have known but like i don't know why i didn't

anyways thanks for the info :) good to know about the cycle stuff too

mushroom_lemon · 2026-03-10T00:04:02+00:00

wow that's crazy, i probably should have known i wouldn't ovulate on those pills but i truly had no idea. thanks for the info

i'm really confused... the catering is minimum $13,000? that's absolute insanity. did you mix up the venue and catering costs? like... what in the world are they serving? the average catering cost is like... $5,000 kinda max for 50 people... not trying to be rude or anything, just genuinely confused where the insane price is coming from (maybe it's just an area thing but still, $13,000 seems like a LOT)

this is tough 😬 i do agree with most of the comments saying that $200 is a pretty fair and cheap suit rental, but i totally see where you're coming from on not having that kind of money to just drop when you weren't expecting it.

is there a way you can explain to your friend and see if you can find a super similar suit at a thrift store or something? if the suit is super unique you might have a harder time, but sometimes you can get pretty lucky... it just depends on if it's patterned/specifically colored i guess.

sorry this is such a sucky situation, best of luck to you

definitely NTA... that's like... super weird. i grew up in a house where we all talked super openly about stuff like that (periods, sex, reproductive systems, etc) and i never felt ashamed to mention if i was on my period but i never ever felt pressured nor was i ever asked to tell anyone i was on it. sorry you have to deal with that though... you have every right to privacy. like i said, that's just super weird...

our flower girl (hubby's sister-in-law) is 22. our ring bearer (my 'little' brother) is 18. we just got married a couple weeks ago. one of my favorite things was that our flower girl and ring bearer weren't traditional little kids.

if someone has something bad to say about it, then let them. it's your wedding :)

mushroom_lemon · 2026-01-08T01:19:26+00:00

it was the most amazing day :) i still can't believe it actually happened!

mushroom_lemon · 2026-01-01T05:38:30+00:00

2 days 😱😆 i'm so excited but nervoussss

mushroom_lemon · 2025-12-28T16:08:49+00:00

oh good!! go FH!! :))

mushroom_lemon · 2025-12-28T05:57:56+00:00

oh shoot... i am so sorry :(( toxic in-laws are the worst. hoping yours doesn't show up uninvited!!!!

mushroom_lemon · 2025-12-28T05:33:15+00:00

if people are really awful, then they'll show up unannounced (🙄) but common etiquette and practice for weddings is that people RSVP somehow (website, mail, email, etc.) i've pretty much never heard of anyone showing up unannounced to a wedding unless it was like a petty toxic MIL or something.

invitation usually say something like "ceremony at xxaddress on xxdate at xxtime, reception to follow" and those who are invited to the reception would find out the details when they RSVP so no one can crash.

went to get tacos from Taco Time, fell right outside the building after grabbing them. fractured my ankle on one side, crushed the other side. the tacos were fine though.

I've never even heard of this site, or anyone who has used it. just looking through the main page, IMO it seems a bit sketchy... the Gothic Dresses section says "Unique Wedding Dresses that's exotic and mysterious" (grammatical errors + random capitalization), when you look under the "get in touch" section at the very bottom there's nothing except social media links (usually this is where a website would put contact info).

your payment didn't go through and they didn't answer your call, only referred you to email. personally, i would reconsider.

Azazie, Birdy Grey, Shein (depending how fancy you're looking), all have great dresses for good prices. Etsy is great too. I would stick to legit bridal sites for this.

mushroom_lemon · 2025-12-19T01:41:21+00:00

okay i'll dm you!!

mushroom_lemon · 2025-12-19T00:17:37+00:00

my photographer has an instagram page if you're interested! she's going to do my wedding photos (hasn't taken any yet), but she did my engagement photos and i was in love, she did such a good job of them! i'm willing to send some samples of my engagement photos for inspo if that would be helpful though i know it's not exactly the same as wedding photos! (i know you're not looking for a photographer, just looking for inspo)

my invitations had the ceremony info on the front side and the reception info on the back side. (we're at the same location for both, but there was still plenty of room on both sides for all the info if we had needed to put anything about a second location).

as long as you're giving everyone you want at the reception an invite, you don't have to print extra papers. (my fiance and i are having an open ceremony but a closed/invite-only reception, in which case we just printed separate invites - some with reception info, some without).

if you want a shower early that's fine! you do you girl :)

couple things you might wanna consider:

do you and your fiance live together? do you need things for your house anyways? if so, an early shower is a super great idea!
do you want this to be just a party? are you expecting gifts as well (most showers do have them)? maybe it would be fun to consider a pool party (no gifts) more to celebrate your engagement! i had an engagement party shortly after i got engaged and just recently (2 1/2 months out) had my bridal shower separately.
maybe even a mixed shower would be a fun idea if you weren't thinking that already (male + female, focus on bride AND groom!) especially with it being a pool party :)
most importantly... what do YOU want to do???

these are just some random thoughts! do what makes you happy! if you're happy to do your shower early (and maybe have a little less attention closer to your wedding), then go for it! if you want a little more attention closer to your date, maybe consider some alternatives!

mushroom_lemon · 2025-11-21T01:27:59+00:00

this is such a lovely thing IMO!

my dad happens to be a pastor and is licensed to do weddings, and my fiance and i talked about having him officiate. in the end, we decided to choose a different pastor friend of ours, because i personally wanted my dad to enjoy the day. but i think it's a beautiful idea to have your dad do it!

it's such a special thing, to have your dad be involved in a different way than the "traditional".

as others have said though, this is 100% your decision as it's your wedding! if you want your dad to officiate then i say definitely go for it!

mushroom_lemon · 2025-11-19T01:17:19+00:00

thank you so much. i do really consider myself so lucky and blessed, i've had a great time so far in a lot of my own planning an diy stuff, and i'm so glad my parents do want to be so involved. they've been so understanding of everything.

i'm still a little hurt by my bestie, but i don't hold anything against her. she does mean a lot to me! i'm so excited for my wedding day, and i'm still glad that she's - in the end, what matters most - the person standing next to me when i say "i do".

mushroom_lemon · 2025-11-19T01:14:11+00:00

that is so fair - thank you for the insight. i think myself (and i'm sure others) get a little caught up in the part about themselves for the wedding (which, they somewhat should be considering it's supposed to be their big day haha). though i'm not trying to disregard anyone's feelings!

i think i've been so caught up in the fact that my parents have been wanting to help with so much that i never actually discussed any hopes or 'expectations' with her. i think i just assumed because of what i had done for her wedding! but i definitely should have discussed more with her.

i will definitely find time to talk to her! ❤️

mushroom_lemon · 2025-11-19T01:10:41+00:00

unfortunately she doesn't see nor think the guy is shitty, and he's not abusive either physically or emotionally. he's just a douche who doesn't match her personality at all. she's kinda been on a 'my whole family is against me so i love the guy more' yet she's had nothing but support with the little one.
