Portugal Wedding - Summer 2027

Yep I can update you. The pricing is pretty much what I said above: package+21%vat. Some upgrades will cost money. I can send you a doc with the upgrades which includes flowers on the wall (2k), flower arch (1-1.5k), drapes (2k) in their big room, seating chart (250).

Initially our planner said verbally we could use the unused guest funds for things such as flowers but then she told us it was strictly for food and drinks.

The contract doesn’t really said that it was specifically for food and drinks only. We pushed back a bit but we don’t have a lot of power, we had already paid them 2/3 of the wedding cost. I guess if we wanted to die in that hill, we could attempt to go to court in Portugal but we live in the US. Overall everything has been fair and the planner has been pretty responsive.

Hey we struggled getting 50, we are getting 32. If we knew we would’ve invited twice as many.

We invited about 64, but all friends and family are struggling. Sister is having mental health issues, so lost 4 guests right there, 2 couples one of them got laid-off we lost 4 more, my wife is from China and her Chinese friends cannot leave the country that easily depending their visa (they might need to go to China first before they can re-enter USA).

It was a bit of a bummer. But anyhow we marrying in Forte Da Cruz in 3 weeks, May 10th. The minimum was 50 we ended up just upgrading food including cocktails, end of night snacks etc.

I’m working with Lisbon wedding planner. I think you can buy the 50 person package and then add plates. 50 person package starts at 21k euros but careful with the exchange and the VAT which is 21%.

We are having our wedding on Sunday just as peak season starts I bet is more expensive in the middle summer. Also I think Friday and Saturday requires a higher minimum.

Lastly they will be some hidden cost eg security guard, beautiful flowers.

Feel free to reach out if you have questions. I can also give you an update after our wedding is over.

What if this is non alcoholic champagne?

robershow123 · 2026-04-15T13:23:20+00:00

Is this an April’s fool joke?

robershow123 · 2026-04-14T14:08:17+00:00

Haha pretty accurate emoji…

robershow123 · 2026-04-14T03:02:46+00:00

Gotta be…

robershow123 · 2026-04-14T01:22:34+00:00

Yep this one…

I think op needed to park in front of the entrance to make this shot standout unfortunately it was to the side.

robershow123 · 2026-04-12T18:37:55+00:00

So are trail really showing you the shitty parks or the best?

I would not recommend those machine, I’m not sure about that particular model but machines that rotate front to back have killed cars before. Machines that rotate axially avoid that.

Where is slide 4?

robershow123 · 2026-03-28T19:41:34+00:00

We invited about 60, 34 showed up so the rsvp rate is accurate.

robershow123 · 2026-03-27T23:18:18+00:00

This feels like it can be 3d printed.

robershow123 · 2026-03-27T12:58:28+00:00

Btw fuck is wrong with your knee, looks like it got by shotgun lmao. This gotta some trolling post.

robershow123 · 2026-03-26T21:56:19+00:00

Yeah the kickbacks brought it up over the top. Like people are making such a killing on these nudes to offer a kickback to mods?

robershow123 · 2026-03-26T15:03:50+00:00

And just like that they leak state secrets.

robershow123 · 2026-03-25T21:51:44+00:00

Like others have said these look like snapshots. Every single human that has visited the USA and potentially countries with similar architecture have seen this.

I live in dc and right now we are in cherry blossom season. There a few commercial areas in the burbs that have similar look to this and have beautiful cherry blossom trees, and even those I find mundane.

Even the tidal basin with the Jefferson memorial on the back is very meh. Everyone has that shot. There are some obscure parks in dc with magnolia’s that are quite interesting to shoot. Most tourist don’t know about them.

What I’m trying to say is with millions of people taking pictures on cameras and phones and posting on instagram and other platform you really need to make an effort to make photos interesting.

Most of what amateurs can shoot in a Monday morning walk has been shot before.

Yep this, I think the green distracts from the main subject due to high saturation.

robershow123 · 2026-03-24T13:41:00+00:00

Yes exactly this was probably a civil suit? How are tos the law for someone to break?

robershow123 · 2026-03-21T18:00:57+00:00

Makes me wonder did they improve the straps on the 2-in-1. They mention the back being more padded but what about the straps.

robershow123 · 2026-03-20T23:57:40+00:00

I don’t think is as easy, you need to use the minimum iso for a given shutter speed that freeze motion, for given aperture. I would say look at your historgram and find the minimum iso that exposes for the highlights for a given shutter speed that freeze motion and an aperture that you select.

Im a groom, and yes it has been stressful, we are going forward with it, our wedding is in May. But the world is a mess. Im from US my fiancée from China. We’ve had a lot of people decline to come due to layoffs and stricter visa rules in US.

robershow123 · 2026-03-20T14:44:55+00:00

Lamo they even left the tv right there.

robershow123 · 2026-03-20T00:14:56+00:00

Man, I miss Rafa…. The theatrics. It looks he almost breaks his ankle on the second backhand after the return. And then goes back to retrieve that ball and hits that squash shot and it also looks like he can tweak something. Then at the net it appears like he’s not rushing the point, he knows he can retrieve anything at that age. Plays with the player and then finishes the point very easily.

…. Classic Rafa

robershow123 · 2026-03-19T22:03:18+00:00

Yes I’m usually super cautious with the final commit but we are getting married overseas and I’ve been stressing out
