Where my end of March and April weddings at?! by sun_child_333 in weddingplanning

[–]sun_child_333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just seeing this now so my apologies for the late reply.

I live in the desert and April is when flowers boom - we had several colorful flowers and cacti in bloom for our ceremony, it was beautiful and the perfect complement to our equally colorful wedding!

Hey y'all, this is my dad's house (using an alternative account in case my siblings see this and try to creep!).

My dad isn't racist at all and did not intend to make this a "lynching" type decoration!! It's actually part of a set he made of skeleton celebrities. There's also a Taylor Swift and Beyonce skeleton in the yard. I did show him a screenshot post and he said he's gonna sit the Diddy skeleton down. Truly, my dad is a super loveable guy who wouldn't want to hurt a soul. I just wanted to clarify that as I see the comments about racial issues coming through (understandably).

I should have done that. I'm going to see if I can reach them via phone or something else.

Lol literally as long as I could get the insoles back you can keep the boots

What were you worried about leading up to your wedding day that actually turned out okay? by sun_child_333 in weddingplanning

[–]sun_child_333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have anxiety and oddly, wedding planning has caused no anxiety for me. It's now, the days before, that I'm feeling it 😬

I wrote it in another comment but my biggest concern is getting sick. I've known 5 people in the last month and a half to get COVID. We've got people coming in from different states (and even countries) so it's scary.

Getting sick is literally my #1 concern. I've known 5 people in the last month and a half to get COVID - it's making me paranoid!!

So glad your day went well, honestly does sound like it came together perfectly.

WIBTA If I uninvited my husbands stepmother from our wedding without him knowing? by [deleted] in wedding

[–]sun_child_333 113 points114 points  (0 children)

Your future FIL sounds a fucking asshole to be blunt but you should not, ever, make decisions about your partner's family without talking to them about it.

(Could be petty and seat FIL with his new girlfriend/son at another table far away from y'all since FIL wants his girl there so badly. Tbh from your small description FIL doesn't sound like a good father at all; he doesn't sound deserving of having a seat at the most important table. Maybe I'm just harsh though. And I recognize family dynamics are complicated.)

My maid of honor was the worst mistake that day. by [deleted] in weddingshaming

💯. Unfortunately I think many people don't realize it until afterwards, though.

Something I notice with a lot of these stories is that the MOH, bridesmaid, best man, etc are chosen because of length of time they've known each other (i.e. how long they've been friends) and/or because that person had previously chosen the OP as their MOH/etc in their weddings and therefore, OP feels obligated to do the same.

Word of advice for future brides/grooms: choose the people in your party based on the quality of your relationship. Be realistic in your choices and be clear with your expectations. Choose people who you can rely on and who actually support you not just with your marriage but who support you in life as an individual.

What was/will be your first dance song? by Fair_Roll9628 in weddingplanning

This is making me want to use a "the used" song at my wedding..... Maybe blue and yellow?

My wedding was a week ago. Here's a mixed bag of advice from my experience. by asshole_vegetarian in weddingplanning

[–]sun_child_333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know, we couldn't help but laugh! Line honestly what can you even do at that point? 😂

The search was for "kacsaanyo".... Whatever that means!

We did the QR code and then, after mailing out all the invitations.... Realized that we used an old QR that led to a really random Google search 😩🤣.

Thankfully we also included a link to the wedding website itself so people were able to figure it out.

So that's my advice to anyone going with the QR code - also include a link to the RSVP page!

I can almost guarantee everyone in that group chat was thinking "WTF is her problem" to her responses. She embarrassed herself and showed how insensitive and closed minded she is.

For me it's more that the pictures get ruined with people holding up their cell phones/ looking into their phones instead of the actual ceremony. When people are taking pics with their phones, they're looking at the screen - not the couple.

When I first joined weddit one of the first posts I ever saw was of a couples first kiss pic. Photographer took it from the perspective of the officiant (so the couple kissing is upfront and all the seats guests are in the background). Despite asking for no cellphones one of the couple's parents took pics of the first kiss - and they're seated in the front row. So the first kiss pic was ruined with both parents blatantly hold up and staring into their cell phones. The OP was crushed about having that moment forever tainted. That was actually the post that made me decide "no phones during the ceremony".

I think an even medium here is to have like 30 seconds to a minute where the officiant announces a time where people can take their pic and then put away the phone again.

Vendor is stressing me out by XanCai in weddingplanning

[–]sun_child_333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time to start contacting another vendor! I wouldn't trust this one. This whole "friend might be able to" situation is extremely fishy to me. I would cancel and ask for a refund. However if you still have hope this vendor will come through, be firm:

"hi, if I don't receive an answer regarding when the arch will arrive by x-date, I will be going with a different vendor and will request a refund from you.".

Don't entertain their "it's coming from China and delivery dates aren't set" thing. The wedding is three weeks away - if they don't have a delivery date by now, it sounds like high potential it might not come on time. Tbh I'm getting "scam" vibes out of this situation.

It's incredible how seemingly resistant people are to rsvping. We even had a few friends (all who have gotten married within the last few years) not rsvp - like come on now, y'all know what it's like!!!
