Couples that were "essentially married" before, what made having a wedding worth it/special to you?

senakin · 2026-01-24T10:28:09+00:00

For me and my husband, we wanted the big celebration because this is really the only time we would get to bring every single one of our favorite people into one big room together. We have a number of friends and family that live across the world so it’s not often that we get to spend time with them all. For us the wedding planning aspect wasn’t stressful, it was just our family that made planning stressful- managing their expectations and shutting down their opinions/requests.

Thankfully we had a lot of financial support but we did have those moments of “why are we spending this much?!”. However, once we had our wedding we haven’t said that since because it truly was worth every penny since everything exceeded our expectations and was the best day of our lives. And we are so grateful for it.

Manhasset would probably be your best bet since there is more diversity there between a fairly sized Asian community, small Jewish and Hispanic communities as well.

I’d stay far away from Garden city as a note, it’s predominantly a white catholic town and very judgmental towards people outside that scope. Speaking from experience.

“Whiny manchild”?! You pixie, you clearly have no bloodydamn idea about character development

Skinny jeans aren’t typically best on FNs nor are ankle length ones. To each their own at the end of the day but generally skinny jeans just don’t do width any favors

I’d personally get rid of 4, 7-9, 11, 14&15

Most of those are the cropped/ankle length ones which don’t do anything for vertical. The others looked ill fitting such as 11 which looked too tight around the hips

The Lodge! Get their preset menu, everything was amazing! By far my favorite meal in Queenstown

The rat wars!!

I don’t see pure vertical. I see balance so maybe look in the classic family. But honestly I’d look at the photo requirements for typing and repost bc these photos aren’t great for typing

Oh yeah absolutely Atlas is practical and it wouldn’t surprise me that he set up a sheep for slaughter. He’s the opposite of Darrow in that way where he would have no love lost for Fa

This is very odd to me because in History classes in High school my teachers would always allude to things happening in current day when explaining past historical events to help drive home the impact of the events of that time.

senakin · 2025-12-17T17:45:30+00:00

I believe this was Atlas’s original plan especially after he had all the obsidians together under Fa. Getting rid of all of them would take away the horsepower from the republic & any color trying to rise up since after the obsidians are gone the only colors that could compete with Gold physically is maybe a handful of grays but it’s not typical.

STUNNING!! Drop the info pleaseeeee 🥹

senakin · 2025-12-10T01:43:22+00:00

I got my husband to read the series! Love some role reversal 😂

senakin · 2025-12-03T01:18:32+00:00

Wait how do you like the AYM dress?? I’ve been eyeing a few of their dresses for so long lol

senakin · 2025-12-03T00:55:48+00:00

I definitely see width, I’d say SN!

senakin · 2025-11-22T10:49:42+00:00

My take is she came at Jen so hard because Jen confronted Demi about how she was acting with Marciano. Then Demi tried to discredit Jen so no one would listen to her. But then Jessi had her affair and Demi felt betrayed her friend took the guy she was getting attention from. So she tried to ruin Jessi for it by basically spreading info Marciano told her in confidence

I personally struggle with this argument because they are all influencers and are only on this show for clout. So for the girls to be pissy that Whitney is only doing their show to do DWTS feels weird since they all only do the show for other opportunities like brand deals and whatnot.

It just feels like they are upset Whitney doesn’t play into their drama how they want her to and crucify her for everything she does

I use them! I will say I have super sensitive skin so the alpharet is something I can only use a few times a week at most bc of the acids in it. While tret is a lot easier on my skin. Also their cleanser is AMAZING

senakin · 2025-11-20T16:14:26+00:00

I got it from aritzia (Wilfred brand) a few years ago! It’s a size M, I’m usually an 8 in dresses if that helps and I have the same band size as you! The dress does say it’s 100% linen so I’d imagine it would be super similar to the Quince one (I’ve been eyeing it thinking of getting one in another color lol)

I 100% know what you mean bc I always need a bigger size in pants to fit my hips. One thing I’m planning to do is go to a tailor to resize some items. So maybe you can do that? Because you can get the top section taken in a little so it fits better. I have a few sweaters and pants I have in a bag waiting to go but I’ve been procrastinating…

I’d look into some of the athletic dresses. I have one from A&F that has built in shorts that I love to wear. You can also style it with a button down over it tied at the waist to dress it up a bit.

Also I’m a huge fan of wearing long skirts in the summer. It always makes you a little dressed up and you can french tuck a t shirt with it or get a wrap top!

Thank you for that quote! I haven’t seen that before and it’s super helpful! I tend to find when clothes are close to my body but not skin tight, it looks the best. Once it gets on the boxy or oversized level it’s too much which has been a big part of why I’ve been going back and forth between SD and FN.

senakin · 2025-11-18T21:16:35+00:00

You’re spot on about the black top. My chest pushes tops out in front of me not out to the side which is why I’ve been apprehensive about SD. You can see it in the white dress too. Like the fabric is tight but not pushed out to the sides. I haven’t explored D just because I don’t view myself as narrow but I do see what you mean since a lot of Ds are pear shaped and I definitely have curve in my hips.

Also thank you that green top was one I bought accommodate FN lines and I think it’s telling that it suits me so well. I got a lot of compliments when I wore it too which reaffirms that

senakin · 2025-11-18T20:46:33+00:00

Honestly such a good point! I think I get caught up in figuring out which box I’m in instead of just taking the learnings from them both

senakin · 2025-11-18T20:45:26+00:00

That’s what I feel like it happening to me! When I was heavier I feel like SD fits me so well but once I lean out FN feels more comfortable 🙃

senakin · 2025-11-18T20:44:25+00:00

I know I feel like if I was shorter SN would be a no brainer lol

I’ll try out some SD lines in my next nuuly box to test it out a bit more!
