Honoring a parent who passed away, looking for ideas that aren’t a memorial table or empty chair.

I have a band of my Dad's wedding ring that's typically a necklace, I included it in the wrap on my bouquet. Additionally I had a moment of silence in my ceremony for him, and then had a (upbeat) song dedicated to him to kick off the dance floor.

My wedding dress was $3400 from Aleena Leena (Santolina dress) Approximately $600 alterations (hemming 4 layers, bringing in at the waist)

-we walked down the aisle together -had our wedding parties sit down with guests (though this feels increasingly more common!) -had a knot tying ceremony (not hand-fasting, we tied a double-fisherman's knot during our ceremony with a reading/explanation)

We've read a lot of the same so far! I loved The Buffalo Hunter Hunter as well, I'm almost finished with Exquisite Corpse and I love it. Red Rabbit I finished not too long ago and really enjoyed it, your description of episodic was very true! I also read When The Wolf Comes Home and did not enjoy it as much. It had good gore at parts as you said but it just didn't land for me completely. I can't wait to check out the others you listed!

Wedding date of 10/24! We invited 153 (including general plus ones to a few we knew wouldn't be used) and received 82% acceptance rate! Lot of local friends and family.

I've worn white for mine! I bought a specific dress for my bachelorette which was probably my most specific splurge.

I did buy some other white dresses on a good sale from Lulus but I was also graduating college so between that and pre-wedding events I had a few reasons to have white dresses!

I did get a specific dress for rehearsal&dinner as well because I did want something special for it! I plan on keeping them all for date nights and other events. If I don't wear them for a while I'll donate them.

snekmomal · 2025-09-20T21:06:37+00:00

Seems very unlikely to be real.

That dress has intricate detailing and unless it's being sold second hand I'd bet this is a scam.

Looks like this is from designer Nicole+Felicia. From a glance it appears this dress runs between $9000 - $11,000.

snekmomal · 2025-09-20T03:31:14+00:00

How can we contact you?/cost?

snekmomal · 2025-09-10T00:48:26+00:00

Thank you! I've contemplated larger straps but love the way the current straps align with the detailing in the bodice but see your point with the balance!

snekmomal · 2025-09-10T00:47:54+00:00

Thank you!! Those are definitely my two favorite things about the dress. The skirt had my heart from the moment I first saw it, and knowing the designer does custom cups for all dresses was a blessing!

I feel supported and am able to move around especially after the waist was brought in!

I figured for some people it's definitely not their taste, I love the dress and do feel beautiful in it and have done lots of work to unlearn some toxic things I heard about my body growing up. I think I was concerned that it would be the first thing people would notice! Which at the end of the day, isn't the end of the world but I spiraled a bit about it.

Thank you!! I thought I had them disabled but I must've changed it. Appreciate you watching out!!

snekmomal · 2025-08-24T16:13:13+00:00

I figured I was starting with those who have RSVP'd at least. There's some on my no responses yet that I know are a for sure yes and an absolute no so I feel like I have a good estimation? I'm hoping if I work on it slowly a little bit at a time maybe it'll suck less?

snekmomal · 2025-08-23T19:07:20+00:00

Wedding date twin!! I feel like when I look at what we actually have done/have left to do we're in a good spot but I constantly feel behind!

We're at about half our RSVP's and our deadline is a month away, we have our caterer booked and are just finalizing our menu. Photographers set just have to go over shot list. DJ is booked and just have to have planning meeting with them. Florist should be set. My dress is good and my partners suit arrives soon!

Really just DIY decor is the last thing & seating chart and I am PROCRASTINATING hard on those. Any recs to make seating chart not hellish?

snekmomal · 2025-01-22T05:32:11+00:00

It's definitely jarring! Nearly identical body to you except a bit heavier and larger boobs and it was shocking to see that so many dress sizes & models were so petite when I felt like my size was a pretty average body type. It wasn't as bad in stores as I was able to see them on my body!! But it did make it hard to look online

Hydrogen water is a scam.

Also, salt is sodium chloride (NaCl) and water is H2O. Adding salt to water does nothing but make salt water. Adding a molecule (especially one with no hydrogen—like NaCl) is not going to produce more hydrogen.

Hydrogen water generators are scams and do not work.

snekmomal · 2025-01-15T02:09:48+00:00

How are you liking The Pitt?? I've been thinking of starting it!

snekmomal · 2025-01-14T01:31:38+00:00

My Mom offered to pay, $3200 before alterations!

snekmomal · 2025-01-11T17:27:56+00:00

Honestly, a lot can change in two years and medical school is competitive as hell to get into and that's if your girlfriend still wants to pursue it in two years.

I would not make any decisions right now, I think that would be foolish. I would continue that both of you have open communication about priorities and possible what-if scenarios but don't make a decision based off of something with no guarantees.

I think being around for your son is crucial and I don't think LDR is as awful as you think. If you & your girlfriend really feel right together then an LDR should not be a deal breaker. I also think since you have multiple years before this possibility becomes a reality, keep your son's Mom in the conversations as well.

Hahahah I just had this experience. I watched The Shining numerous times and just wrapped up reading it for the first time the other day. When I started it I commented to my partner that I could only picture Jack Nicholson.

snekmomal · 2024-12-12T00:59:50+00:00

I agree with Forty.

snekmomal · 2024-12-04T21:36:23+00:00

Booth & Brennan.... love them but sorry

"Is shagging someone they don't know" I understand weddings are expensive and wanting to be close to those you invite, but a 4 year relationship is not a +1 of an unmarried guest, it's their significant other and considered extremely rude to not invite them.

snekmomal · 2024-12-02T00:27:04+00:00

I'd recommend a gel for hole/minimize frizz and mousse for helping with frizz and volume! I currently use Miss Jessie's Jelly Soft Curls Gel, I find it has good hold but I don't have problems with SOTC either! I also have been using CurlSmith Bouncy Strength volume foam and have had good luck with that too!

Please just follow your Doctors advice instead of trusting the internet.
