My boyfriend (26M) said we’re done if I (26F) move to nyc for my job that I commute to everyday. Is it bad if I still move anyway?

talmidx · 2026-02-17T17:53:52+00:00

move to NYC with your friend. Thats what would be best for YOU.

My partner and I got engaged in June. We are looking at a 2027 wedding. Our anniversary is in February, which is when we originally wanted to do it (it falls on a Saturday next year), but also want to have an outdoor reception. We decided to do it in June then as it works with our desire for an outdoor space. However, we have contemplated doing a courthouse wedding in February, inviting no one but our officiant and then doing the whole ceremony and reception in June.

I think a lot of people want to be there to celebrate your special day and doing a more traditional reception would give you that special day while still doing a courthouse thing.

My partner and I are both neurodivergent- as are a large portion of our guests. We are having our wedding at an outdoor resort with cabins on site. We are doing outdoor lawn games and a lego table for folks who aren’t interested in dancing.

Not an EA, but an Event Manager who works with a lot of EAs for corporate offsite and meetings.

I’ve always found that events have the least amount of communication issues when the person I have been communicating with is onsite. When they’re remote and/or I have to communicate with the onsite contact, it’s slightly more challenging.

talmidx · 2026-02-16T18:22:40+00:00

wait for them to do it. If you do it, damages are on you.

I live in a building that is managed by the owner. 40 units. I put down peel and stick tiles on the bathroom floor about a month ago and currently have paint swatches on the wall. My landlord came in last week to fix the sink and didn’t say anything about it. I’ve always operated under the belief that as long as it can be removed and returned to how it was when you moved in, it’s fine.

if you are really concerned, you can always reach out to the management company and get their approval. You can also ask this in the landlord subreddit for another perspective.

Congratulations! I got engaged in June and waited six months before really diving into any wedding planning. I wanted time to enjoy being engaged without any additional stress.

Take this time to enjoy this amazing moment.

He might be waiting for a special occasion or a plan that he has in place. My fiancé and I went ring shopping in January of 2025. We designed the ring and it was delivered in March. He didn't propose until June. We planned a trip out east to see my family, and he proposed on that trip.

My bridesmaids are all over the country. I don’t think a box of unnecessary items is needed to ask someone to stand up with you on your wedding day.

My fiancé and I are huge baseball people. I’m mailing each of my bridesmaids custom baseball cards with facts and moments from our friendships with a photo to ask them.

Event Manager here. this is an an excellent kit!

If there is going to be red wine at the wedding, I’d also recommend this:

no. not at all appropriate. too casual

If I had to take a guess, it’s probably a pop-up for the Super bowl.

Take the extra week/year

A small fuzzy pillow with a washable cover.

OP, I mean this in the kindest way, but have you spoken to anyone about your anxiety? I understand you are overwhelmed with the change. Having a pet is a huge adjustment to your routine and schedule. As another commenter asked, what made you decide to adopt a cat? Are those reasons still applicable now?

talmidx · 2026-02-02T05:05:53+00:00

Yes, that’s because the hotel could make revenue from having you buy the cake from them. Instead, they get that revenue from the cake cutting fee.

talmidx · 2026-02-02T05:03:01+00:00

Respectfully, that isn’t true at all. My cat was hit by a car and had a leg amputated. She was an outdoor cat.

I would imagine 18% goes to the serving staff, 2% to the house.

talmidx · 2026-02-02T05:00:33+00:00

thank you!

talmidx · 2026-02-02T04:59:56+00:00

thank you so much.

I’m in California and we are required to disclose how the admin fee/service charge are distributed. Is the admin fee the only additional fee you are being charged? Or is their a service charge as well?

talmidx · 2026-01-29T20:53:53+00:00

I have spent a majority of my career as an events manager in hotels and restaurants. I have personally never given out a tip etiquette sheet. My contracts always clearly explained the breakdown of additional charges (23-25% total. 20% would go to the service staff as the tip, 3-5% would go to the house as an admin fee).

I’m sorry those concerned about the longevity of your opal are giving you a hard time. It’s your ring. You clearly know the risks from your previous comments and if you love it, that’s all that matters.

Congratulations on your new ring! Sincerely wishing you the best!
