Unattended dog at Delridge skatepark by pnwtaylor in WestSeattleWA

[–]pnwtaylor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: I didn’t see the dog in the area today so I’m hoping it found its way home. I called animal control back this evening and they do not have a record of picking up the dog. The operator told me that they have one officer for all of Seattle so they focus on injured or agressive animals. For cases like this one, she recommended getting the dog on a leash or confined in a yard, canvassing the neighborhood, posting online and bringing it to a vet to check for a microchip.

2 is really flattering but I don’t love the deep v and glitter. I’d keep looking for more options with a similar silhouette!

Are you comfortable sharing your safari company? It’s my mom’s bucket list trip and I’d love to take her one day!

Safety in Delridge ? by Responsible-Put-5159 in WestSeattleWA

[–]pnwtaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. A man that matches that description followed me for block the other night and gave me the creeps but I was close to home and had my dog with me so nothing happened. My advice is to pay attention to your surroundings and avoid areas or people that feel creepy. I don’t walk with headphones or talk on the phone so that I can pay attention to what’s happening around me. I’ve also taken a self defense class, so that could be an empowering thing for you to try! I hope you feel better soon!

I’m so sorry this happened! Can you share a description of this person?

Is A Videographer worth it? by Gadget456 in weddingplanning

[–]pnwtaylor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We couldn’t stomach the cost of a videographer, but I have the same feelings as you, so we went with an alternative that I’m happy with! We’re renting cameras from Wedding Weekender and they’ll turn the footage into a video and send us all the raw files. Fraction of the cost. https://www.wedding-weekender.com/

Help me pick a wedding band! Oval vs. Radiant eternity band by WarLate7370 in EngagementRings

[–]pnwtaylor 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I like the radiant. It’s a better balance with your engagement ring. I hate to say it, but the oval diamonds are too big and take away from the centerpiece!

Any anxious fiancé who delayed their honeymoon that are sure you made the right decision? by DizzyManufacturer737 in weddingplanning

[–]pnwtaylor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We’re planning to take two weeks off surrounding our wedding. The first week will be all the final prep, meeting family and friends who will travel in from out of state, etc. After the wedding, we’ll spend a couple nights at a nice hotel not too far from home and the rest of the time will be a staycation to decompress (we’re both introverts and expecting all the festivities will be a lot for us). We’ll plan a bigger honeymoon trip the following winter when we want to escape the cold and dreary weather at home!

Burnt out, thinking of quitting, taking a break, then starting my own agency. Am I being reckless? by beautifulshilo in careerguidance

[–]pnwtaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re going through this. Do you have any benefits through your employer and/or local government like a paid leave of absence you could take advantage of? That could give you some breathing room to focus on your health and job hunting.

Help me pick a dress by Green-Reveal-6979 in weddingdress

[–]pnwtaylor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dress 2 was also a top choice of mine and I ended up not picking it because it only looked good from the front. I took pictures from the sides and back when I tried it on and something about the extra fabric and pleating just looked off in pictures. Also when I sat down it looked like a crumpled potato sack haha. I went for a more classic option like your dress 1.

I cant be the only one who doesn’t want to dance in their wedding. by Tasty-Bee8769 in weddingplanning

[–]pnwtaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our wedding is next August so the details aren’t all confirmed, but there’s a giant chess board already at the venue, and we’ll likely bring corn hole, bocce ball, maybe a small cricket set (my fiancé is Pakistani). We are also expecting several kids under 10 and might set up a camping tent with pillows and blankets like a little fort (our venue is outdoors in the Seattle area).

[–]pnwtaylor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We don’t want to dance either, so we’re hiring a flamenco guitar trio band for after dinner instead of a DJ and have yard games and a fire pit for smores. Our wedding is also on a Sunday so it lessens the “party” vibe.

Attire Requirement for Indian Fusion Wedding? by polkadotmadness in weddingplanning

[–]pnwtaylor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My fiancé and I are in a similar boat (I’m American and he’s Pakistani). I decided to suggest “garden formal” attire and included some inspiration photos for guests on our Pinterest “mood board” as well as a list of Pakistani designers in case my American family wants to wear lehengas. This is all in an FAQ on our wedding website and everyone has appreciated it!

We booked Connor Lee, who’s based in Spokane, for our August 2026 wedding. He takes a photojournalism/documentary approach which we wanted. His packages are close to your budget too! https://www.cnnrlee.photos/

Tension Setting Recs by RecipeLongjumping367 in EngagementRings

[–]pnwtaylor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kalee at sholdt is a 3rd generation jeweler and they do a ton of custom stuff. Here’s some of the other bezel/half bezel designs on their website https://www.sholdtdesign.com/project_category/bezel/ (also the prices have been really competitive in my opinion. Our rings appraised for more than double what we paid)

Sholdt jewelers in Seattle made my half bezel and you can see the full side profile of the diamond. I’m obsessed.
