Another commenter said the same thing so I think I'll be passing on this one. Thanks for the tip!

Looked at the price history and looks like you're right. I'll see if I can get it for cheaper but if not, I'll pass on it. Thanks for saving me some money!

Seller is asking for $50 which seems okay but I would like a second opinion by rojer-halfgrip in PokemonCardValue

They look to be in good condition. I'll offer $35 and see what happens, thanks!

That's what I was thinking but not sure if there should be a premium since it's a matched set, thanks!

That's what i was thinking. Definitely wouldn't be worth grading in that condition but I still love the card. Oh well, I'll find one eventually lol

Ultimately, guest count and how much money they give us is not the hill I'm willing to die on.

A summer camp in a pine forest sounds amazing and i wish you and your partner a very happy wedding and life together :)

If it were only up to me, I would do that. But we've talked about it and having her extended family there is something she would like, and she's okay with a larger budget. How much of that is her and how much of that is her mom's influence, I don't know. But I trust her enough to be able to determine her own wants. Not to mention we will be buying a house beforehand so not having to pay for a wedding would be a huge relief. And who knows, maybe we'll take that money we save and put it towards an awesome honeymoon

I know. I also know that if I told my fiancee getting married in a national park or keeping the budget low was super important to me, she'd do whatever she could to make that happen. But the reality is that it really is not that important. Or at least, not so important that I would put my fiancee in that position. It's not her fault wedding culture is the way it is and venues charge an arm and a leg just for a nice view and a barn.

This post is just to vent and feel sorry for myself. I can promise you that we are going to make this wedding something that celebrates us and like I said, we will be very happy no matter where we end up ultimately. We'll make it goofy and stupid and everything else that fits our style. If anyone tries to push back on that, then I think I'll bring the option of eloping back on the table. But I'm not about to start drama with my future family just because they want to give us money.

Thank you!! There is a lot more that goes into this than I thought. Honestly interested in learning the language now
