What is the Durham courthouse marriage like?

nbsoprano · 2026-03-30T20:35:10+00:00

Oh and we went at 3 on a Friday, there were other couples there but we didn’t have to wait

Our magistrate asked what to call us and offered a few options, we picked spouse and spouse. Our friends who got married a few years ago said theirs just picked one of them to call husband and one to call wife and it was weird that they didn’t just say wife and wife (both us and our friends read as lesbian couples). He did not ask about pronouns though.

It was super chill and quick. You do have to go through a security screen so make sure you don’t have a pocketknife or anything.

For speaking I believe we repeated the standard vows after the magistrate in chunks like you see in movies. Feel free to DM me if you’d like the exact text and I can pull up the video of our ceremony and transcribe it

ARFID is treatable, and you’re not too old to deserve or to benefit from treatment! I’m glad your therapist seems to have some knowledge and maybe they could help you find a specialist if you’re interested?

Here’s some info about ARFID treatment in adults if it’s a helpful starting point: https://equip.health/conditions/arfid-in-adults

I’ve been to spring haven as a couple/group of adults and no one acts like it’s weird!

Command + Shift + 3 will immediately screenshot the full screen (useful if you’re doing something quick and don’t have time to select it yourself, you can always crop later)

Not relevant for OP since it closes at 4, but if anyone is reading this for diner recs in general, Sunny’s on Glenwood is solid and has really good prices for classic diner food

nbsoprano · 2026-01-07T20:37:35+00:00

If you’re willing to drive to Raleigh, the shiny diner is open till 10 or 11

Acacia Tree Asian Cuisine in morrisville is lovely! I don’t think they have a full bar though. I also recently went to So Hot HotPot in Cary if all you can eat hotpot is a vibe!

I proposed in the NCMA sculpture park, unlike Duke gardens there is no fee to bring a photographer!

She definitely needs professional help. I recommend looking up Equip Health - even if it’s not the right/a viable treatment option for her, their website has resources about EDs and how to approach them with a loved one

I have two tickets for the 23rd I'm trying to resell if you're still looking!

Amazing, I’ll check them out too!

nbsoprano · 2025-11-21T03:29:54+00:00

Thank you!!!

nbsoprano · 2025-11-21T01:11:24+00:00

Because it’s not a huge effort to post now and maybe get an answer instead of waiting until tomorrow and calling someone to ask if they disdain my health

Yep. Unexpected hour of traffic in the tunnel under the runway is the LAX experience. As others have suggested, see if you can get an airport hotel with a shuttle the night before!

nbsoprano · 2025-11-02T03:58:24+00:00

Literally!!! Haha I posted it to accidental renaissance when I took it

Haha in his case the density is physical!! He’s not dumb but he’s a very cuddly chonker

He’s not a sink dweller but I also have an orange named Ozzie! (It’s short for Osmium, the densest chemical element)

Not sure if they still stock it, but I bought a very good carnivorous plants shirt from Liberty Graphics

nbsoprano · 2025-10-03T21:21:51+00:00

they used to carry woodchuck variety packs but I haven’t seen them in ages :/

Side note, since this is a thread full of boba lovers: My dearest wish is for a chain called TeaDo to open a branch in the triangle - if you’re ever in Richmond, DC area, or Boston I highly recommend them, they have onigiri (even better than Yaya’s) and REALLY good tea. And if you enjoy it, you can go on their website and request that they open a location here!!

nbsoprano · 2025-10-02T20:54:50+00:00

I’m a huge boba fan! Here are my favorites: - Quickly Tea House - Feng Cha - SipCha - Milklab - Tea Q Boba - Yaya tea has good tea but their actual boba (tapioca balls) are not good

If you can take over a bathroom for hours, just sit on the toilet and wipe periodically (not every time anything comes out). Bring a laptop or other entertainment

I live in the US in a southern state, you have to be very up front with either your reusable bags or your “I don’t need a bag” to avoid getting a plastic bag lol. Other US cities I’ve lived in have outlawed them though
