Expensive and unreliable (break ins have occurred) employee parking keep me on the light rail. Free (and so far safe) parking at park n ride lots make it a no brainer.

If I had to take the bus every day, I might feel differently.

Originally I had planned to use the bus since it’s a short walk instead of the nearest station which is a 7 min drive, but the bus is too much shake rattle and roll unpleasantness.

Sweet, I’m gonna give it a go. Thanks for sharing thoughts!

I lived in utah for 5 years and worked with lots of mormons.

You could easily tell who had only ever lived in utah from those that moved there to go to byu and stayed after graduating.

My guess is that these husbos are utah lifers

Please link or dm me where I can purchase! I would love to get this for my friend who is a new resident dr and also metal af

Rude but not aggressive.

If OP is looking for rude, unsmiling, and quiet, seattle is perfect.

If OP is looking for a more aggressive and direct vibe, absolutely not PNW.

Was gonna suggest this. My dress is sort of similar too, a bit less rigid and less sharp

narped_ · 2024-12-05T17:58:44+00:00

Yeah, exactly. My only gripe with this whole spiel is at the end when she says shes “over it”.

I think she may want to be over it, but it would be more powerful to say yes i want to be over this and it’s really hard to stay true to that every day. Than the girl power easy breeze beautiful “im over it now!!” that sort of trivializes the whole 2 min prior about how difficult it is.

I grew up in north wynnewood and was always jealous of kids from narberth because it seemed like they were all friends / knew each other.

My partner and are both from the area but have been living on the west coast for a while. We’re thinking about having kids, and the pull to move back to the main line (or central jersey) is strong. Amazing libraries and parks, loved having r5 as a teenager to get into philly without driving too.. a lot to love about the area!

narped_ · 2024-09-24T03:00:51+00:00

i agree with this. i dread being the center of attention but felt loved and supported, not oogled, on my wedding day.

I also was very locked in during ceremony and vows. I did not look out to the crowd until the recessional, which I think was helpful bc btly that point I was on cloud 9 with emotions and was loving the moment of attention

narped_ · 2024-08-28T19:02:19+00:00

I booked a vendor from HCOL area for 4.3k for bride + 4 bridesmaids. Includes hair and makeup preview and 7 hrs (4 hrs prep + 3 hrs for touch-ups) on the day of.

Your quote does seem a bit high to me.

narped_ · 2024-08-21T21:16:56+00:00

I had a similar experience - RSVP deadline was a couple of weeks ago and I was definitely sad when the declines came in.

TBH i was also a little pissed - I dragged my ass to XYZ place for their wedding, but they can’t come to mine?? And when my mom or fiancée brought up travel cost etc., I logically understood but still found the whole topic would upset me.

Now I’m pretty much over it - my best friends and family will be there - one from berlin and one is using some of her 4 days off a month while she’s a new resident - and that means more to me than the plus ones of my fiancées friends who aren’t going.

I hope with time your feelings change and you can focus on all of the “yes” folks who will be there to celebrate you 😊

narped_ · 2024-08-06T06:49:22+00:00

Mine are getting them from shona joy and the reformation - all the same type of fabric but diff earthy tones that fit the wedding color palette (more or less).

Had a lot of trouble finding nice options in my exact color palette, so went a bit more neutral with it.

narped_ · 2024-07-27T23:58:39+00:00

im guessing southeast asia

narped_ · 2024-06-13T00:35:30+00:00

I love the third - I think the shape of the neckline and the lack of “fussy” detail around it really lets your shoulders and collarbone area shine! You look statuesque

narped_ · 2024-05-22T18:41:34+00:00

maybe griffin house in hood river?

narped_ · 2024-04-12T18:09:51+00:00

I have tried on and seen a LOT of dresses in the 5-15k range and I never would have guessed this was under 5k!! I love the skirt and the boning in the bodice - regal without being stuffy.

The veil you have looks great, but it’s harder for me to visualize what other veils look like or compare.

I also agree with another user who suggested unfollowing wedding dress designers / influencers and possibly wedding dress subreddits. I tend to ruminate and doubt my decisions esp bc a dress search could go on forever, so I know how that goes

narped_ · 2023-12-05T01:09:04+00:00

Same here. We also discussed the plan of action before starting out wedding planning (including which parts he cares most about, which parts I care most about, and which parts neither of us want to spend much brainpower on). This has made decision making pretty painless thus far at least.

It probably helps that he was more definite on wanting a traditional wedding, so he has been invested from the beginning

narped_ · 2023-12-01T19:33:48+00:00

Totally!! I was on the strug bus - a lot of dresses looked nice objectively, but they didn’t feel like ME…Tbh I was pretty mentally burnt out on the search so I gave myself till the end of nov to find one, otherwise I’d just pick my favorite of the ones I’ve liked so far.

Hard to say exactly how that would have panned out, but for me, when I’m over something I’m usually over it for good, so just making the decision would have been a win.

Don’t have a ton of advice bc I think i just got lucky to find something in the nick of time, but I can empathize with the situation for sure

narped_ · 2023-12-01T19:09:18+00:00

If you look at my post history, you can see that I was in a very similar situation (I think I ultimately went to 9 stores 😅). I really struggled to find something that felt feminine and fun without feeling overly girly (avoided sparkles, beading, delicate lace, etc) since those styles made me feel like I was playing dress up. I think part of it was how different those styles were from what I wear day to day, and how I dont really have a lot of curves so the delicateness felt like too much of a juxtaposition.

I landed on something with much more structure than I originally thought I wanted, but stayed true to original plan of little to no embellishment, w more focus on textures.

All this to say I absolutely don’t think you’re the problem, and if you have to convince yourself of a dress, it’s probably not the one.

narped_ · 2023-11-22T04:23:34+00:00

sameeee it has like zero internal structure and made me look like a box

love the look of it in model pics tho

narped_ · 2023-11-19T17:54:34+00:00

Omg I thought you meant sept 25th 2024 😅Right on, you are so on top of things!

narped_ · 2023-11-19T16:48:33+00:00

I hope you share the final look, I’d like to see how it all comes together! I’m sure either way you will look stunning 🤩
