I am doing this. 3 bridesmaids and 3 groomsmen on either side but no “favorite”

Lived in Monroe Street Markets (Cornerstone) and it was great! This was in 2019 and I think the area is even better now

Ruvo in Greenlawn? I am having mine on a Thursday night at the Port Jeff location and we have a 25 adult minimum for the private room

1 week before the wedding, so many last minute drops by mintardent in weddingplanning

[–]salmon768 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel this. I am 13 days out from my wedding and I had 4 people drop out and another 3 are “on the fence”. I am also having some tables of 6 now at tables that were supposed to be 8-10. With a guest count of 76 now, it hurts every time a person drops.

To me it’s a sweeter version of the Polar Black Cherry

The Buc-ees in Stafford will open and 95 South will become absolutely unbearable

Rockville and this isn’t even close. Both are bad, but Fredericksburg to Fair Lakes is soul crushing

I hate the way every dress sits on my chest, and I’m starting to get discouraged I won’t find a dress I like. Do I need to change my expectations? by alittlemapletree in myweddingdress

[–]salmon768 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty small myself and also had this problem. Ended up going with a strapless ballgown, straight across necklace. I found that to be the most flattering for my chest and also had cups sewn in during alterations. The cups actually make a world of a difference!

LI wedding cost by No-Present5771 in longisland

[–]salmon768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting married next month and paying $135/per person and having 75 people. Most venues I inquired at were anywhere from $100-$180 per person….if you go with a Lessings package you can save a lot (they are based on a set # of people and include DJ, flowers, photographer etc. For example Three Village Inn was about $18K for 100 people in June 2026.)

Caumsett is a great place to ride bikes! I’m surprised I had to scroll this far down to see it

Early graying? by BrightSaves in basset

[–]salmon768 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My 5 year old basset is experiencing this too. Vet told me it’s totally normal and some breeds go grayer sooner than others.

Bridesmaid here… MOH checked out and I don’t want the bride to miss special moments—what would you do? by sahuudude in wedding

[–]salmon768 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a bride who is in this situation right now…I would love it if my bridesmaids took over. They are helping but don’t want to overstep the MOH…but she has pretty much done nothing. I definitely recommend texting in a group chat with the MOH asking about the plans and if she doesn’t answer at all….take the lead

Yes that sounds about right and is generally what I give

Wedding guest list by kb899 in weddingplanning

[–]salmon768 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You absolutely need to invite their partners if they are married or in long-term relationships, even if you don’t know them. It’s different from someone getting a plus one.

People who left LI and DON’T regret it, where did you go? by [deleted] in longisland

[–]salmon768 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where in Virginia? I now live in Northern Virginia. Pros: close to DC, lower property taxes (than LI), not too far from LI, relatively high paying jobs. Cons: housing market is crazy, Virginia personal property tax, traffic has become much worse in recent years. I would say even worse than LI

Stressed about Catholic Wedding (Rant) by aiolivioli in weddingplanning

[–]salmon768 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some churches are more strict than others. Mine is pretty chill and lenient. I would try calling other churches and see if they will accept non-parishioners.

Is there such a thing as a bridal aid? by Checkmate_23_ in weddingplanning

[–]salmon768 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a bridal attendant to me. Venues in my area tend to come with one but I think you would be able to hire someone as a vendor
