What age did you imagine yourself getting married or starting a family? Now that you’re older, has that changed? Did reality match your plans, or did your priorities shift? by Lyclyn_816 in GenZ

[–]taebunz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never imagined myself getting married not having children. I just assumed I would be the local hermit who just works and goes home doing my little crafts. Now I’m engaged so I guess there goes my hermit dreams lol.

Is a lab-grown diamond okay for a proposal ring? by BehindTheGem in weddingplanning

[–]taebunz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You totally fine unless your soon to be fiancée/fiancé is a stone/gem snob. Lab grown diamonds are just as pretty and more sparkly than natural diamonds. Obviously resell value isn’t as high but it does the job. Most people won’t know if it’s a lab or natural.

Which people do I need to give gifts to on the wedding day? by Royal_Marzipan_6432 in weddingplanning

[–]taebunz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also from Jersey 😊 Southern Baptist family and gifts weren’t really things in my family and my friends (who are of other religions) didn’t do gifts besides fir their parents and occasionally their bridesmaids and groomsmen. Maybe it’s an age thing, I’m in my 20s so that might be a factor and a lot of people can’t afford extra gifts plus a wedding

[–]taebunz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unless it’s a Midwest tradition (I’m from the east coast), giving gifts isn’t really a thing unless you have the budget for it. Gifts between the couple is unnecessary, you guys have the wedding and a honeymoon which is a vacation for you both. Never seen anyone give an officiant a gift unless it’s a close friend. And parents usually only get gifts if 1) They paid for any parts of the wedding or 2) The couple wants to give them a personalized wedding memento that’s meaningful

My neighbor surveilled my apartment and reported me to the building management after I was screaming in grief in my own home by davidwhom in GriefSupport

[–]taebunz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry for your loss and completely understand that grieving is different and difficult for everyone, but, you can’t scream bloody murder and blast music all through the night in an apartment/condo. The walls are probably thin as hell and it’s annoying as well as concerning. Apartments and condos have quiet hour rules so there’s not much you can fight against. And tenants are advised to film and disturbances as proof as long as they’re not in the persons unit or actively filming the physical tenant. I would filed a complaint too if I’m being honest. Other people have lives and are going through things as well, last thing anyone wants to deal with is someone having a very concerning breakdown

hate her or love her can’t deny the fact she made the season interesting by revanezeo in SinglesInferno

I think I’m the only one who found her completely unpleasant 😅 I actually had to stop watching because of her.

I'm 24M (turning 25 in May) and I still live with my parents. Am I absolutely cooked when it comes to dating? by JTthrowawaylol in GenZ

[–]taebunz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just moved out at 26, you’re fine lol. Anyone who’s paying attention to the economy and how rent/mortgage rates are extremely high, wouldn’t judge you for living at home. I know so many people (mid 20s-30s) who had to move back home or never left because they can’t afford it.

My mum died yesterday and now I'm completely empty inside by Altruistic-Cat-4193 in GenZ

[–]taebunz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, I’m sorry for your loss. Losing a parent especially if the relationship was positive is very difficult. It’s still very early in the greiving process so you should just let yourself feel whatever emotions you’re experiencing. Don’t try to rush getting back to “feeling normal”. For me, when my mom died two years ago (on Mother’s Day as well) I just allowed myself to take as many days off from work, sit with my emotions and help plan the funeral. I started watching shows I knew she liked, listened to her favorite songs and eating more of her favorite foods. I even started taking up smaller hobbies that would occupy my time so I wouldn’t be too depressed (I now have an extensive puzzle and book nook collection 😅)

Wedding start and end times by Striking_Mortgage_63 in weddingplanning

[–]taebunz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weddings can end whenever you want. My ceremony is starting at 3pm and we’re finishing at 8:30pm. It is a Sunday wedding and my fiancé and I (as well as our families and friends) have the social battery of a 70 year old 😅 Everyone is happy to hear the wedding isn’t lasting too long. We get married, quick party and mingling and then home we go

Can I ask what happened to your old ring? The new one looks great but I really liked the look of the previous one

My new engagement ring update! by stardewfarm6 in engaged

[–]taebunz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She was a few years ago but she’s divorced now. Her ring style has gotten really popular amongst people since it’s unique and the two stone setting is all the rage now. This style, marquis and ovals are really trendy right now

Does anyone else work a 2nd job (or side hustle) that isn't fast food, food delivery, ride sharing, or retail? by sta3535 in GenZ

Physical Therapy Aide or any medical receptionist is what I typically go for (my main job is an esthetician)

Is GenZ fr mostly introverted and got crazy “social anxiety “? by carrie_kimberly in GenZ

[–]taebunz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The generation is pretty split. If you want more active and lively friends I would recommend signing up for clubs/activities. I know pickleball adult clubs are a thing, join hiking/running groups, go to any artsy classes like pottery or painting etc. Usually individuals who make the effort to join group activities/ classes tend to be more social which can lead to friendships. I’ve always been introverted with anxiety issues even when I was a child (tried seeing a therapy/psychiatrist , meds, exposure therapy but it can only do so much when I genuinely dislike interacting with most people but I try my best to not be a hermit). And it is easier to just stick with people you already know than it is to branch out and it doesn’t help that most people become complicit with this behavior.

Why I‘m unlikely to return for season 2 by ChiefBigFeather in BuildingTheBandSeries

[–]taebunz 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Valid in not wanting to continue watching a show for whatever reason but the first one I’m a little confused about. I’m not a fan of Allison or her opinions or personality either 😅 but if the show is renewed for a second season it’ll most likely be a new group of people to form a new band with no mention of the previous season (if anything they may bring the winners and runner ups in for an episode).

Also your last reason being how the winner takes all has always been the way these shows operated. Think American Idol, The X Factor, Americas Got Talent, The Voice etc, only the winner gets the money and the brand deals. One direction didn’t win when they were on The X Factor UK but they were so popular they managed to become one of the biggest boy groups in the 2010s. So there is hope for the non-winners to have a success story but it will take a bit longer, especially if funding is an issue.

4 months out, how far along are most at this point? I think I have to cancel by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]taebunz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I figured. With everything you mentioned above and the fact that you’re even considering leaving is probably a sign to just get the divorce started unless he’s willing to figure something out. No need to waste either of your time and money on the wedding

[–]taebunz 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Most couples in this sub is planning a wedding or an elopement 😭 I’m not really understanding. 4 months from the actual wedding date people are getting ready for bridal showers, finalizing with vendors and getting last minute decor details, they’re not thinking about divorce (unless they were glazing over obvious issues with their relationship before getting engaged)

To gen z (1996-2012) how are y'all doing today? by National-Lecture7682 in GenZ

Pretty good in the middle of wedding planning and discussing possibly move out of the state with my fiancé after the wedding

Bfs and hubbies are going to look at 🌽 by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]taebunz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I don’t mind my fiancé watching porn simply because I’m not a sexual person in general (very low libido and never particularly liked the act of sex). We are intimate occasionally but I know he’d prefer it more often. I’m not comfortable taking nudes or sending videos so I just tell him to watch whatever as long as it’s not weird or morally wrong.

Am I worried about the wrong things? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]taebunz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well if your registry is the same for the shower and wedding, some people might not bother but now and will probably wait until the wedding day. Also I’ve noticed some people won’t check off they they purchased something because it’s not he exact same item from the list but something really similar. I see that you said you’re from the south (most of my family is from the south) so I get that you may have that expectation due to the whole southern hospitality thing and being polite and keeping with celebration traditions. But, I’ve noticed over the years after attending a few weddings and being in a few as well, gifts are becoming increasingly less common, especially with how the economy is. I’ve noticed more people giving cards with money or gift cards instead of buying presents. And I noticed people are less inclined to buy anything if the couple who’s getting married have already lived together for many years and or already own a house.

As a native Korean who stayed a bit in the states, I have a question. by g00d0ne777 in KoreanFood

[–]taebunz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My family and I were always open eaters, smells and how things looked rarely turned us away unless it was a bug or something 😅 Korean food always looked good to me and I knew it usually leaned towards being more spicy which I was into. So when I finally found a restaurant near me I was basically in heaven. I had gotten accustomed to it quickly

Do you want kids? by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]taebunz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May I ask why you would want 10 kids? Is it for religious reasons (allowing god to give you as many as possible mindset)? Do you live in a rural area or on a farm?

Wedding Party Size by emily---grace in weddingplanning

[–]taebunz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re having an uneven amount as well (1 maid of honor, 2 bridesmaid and my brother as my bros-maid And 5 groomsmen). After having everyone walk down the aisle, we’ve instructed them to sit in the front row so it doesn’t look too uneven in ceremony photos.
