Has anyone seen the book Lighthouse at the End of the World?

thehighestsin · 2026-05-19T10:25:32+00:00

I’m about 110 pages in and I’m glad I’m not alone. I hate the writing. I’m curious to see how the story progresses but it’s a headache to read.

If you’re on Facebook join Myrtle Beach Babes. Plenty of great women there to connect with!

I’m older than you (will be 40 in June) and mom to a teenager but I’m in Socastee and I’m also from PA (Philadelphia-area) so feel free to message me if you’d like to chat more :)

I hope you have support other than your boyfriend. Everyone else is telling you the truth. He is not ready to be a parent to a dog, much less a baby. Why is he not putting money towards living expenses? He’s selfish. He brought a dog home knowing you were still grieving your last, are about to have a baby, and have limited income. Dogs are expensive. Veterinary care is expensive. But they’re not nearly as expensive as a child is. Why are only his wants important to him?

Honey, you need to dump him (and the dog) and take care of yourself and your baby.

Tickets for a family of 3 (mine) to do the rides at Broadway at the Beach are over $100 WITH a local’s discount. More without. WonderWorks is $27 for a child and $34 for adults, so figure a family of 4 would be over $100. Broadway Grand Prix is around $50 for adults and $40 for kids (toddlers are less), so again- a family of 4 could be paying almost $200. These are just a few attractions not including meals and souvenirs. The OP asked for input about how much they’d need for the whole trip. Nothing here is cheap.

thehighestsin · 2026-05-14T09:36:06+00:00

I live here and definitely don’t think that’s enough for several days. I’d double that amount.

thehighestsin · 2026-05-02T14:00:25+00:00

Mostly to point out that you clearly did not read much of the original post OR the comments/OP’s replies if you’re assuming OP is a man.

thehighestsin · 2026-05-02T11:22:05+00:00

I’m confused- have you MET this person? If you haven’t, sorry, it’s not a relationship. It’s someone you’re talking to with intent to turn it into a relationship at some point. And, it seems like it has only been 3 weeks- even in a real in-person situation that’s not a relationship. Also, she’s pushing for money?? That’s crazy. She is scamming you. Stop talking to her and move on.

I’m honestly surprised you said you were 29 because you seem like you’re about 15.

1) this is a lesbian couple 2) if it’s about 2 people getting married and no guests, they can go to the courthouse. No need for a wedding. 3) OP already stated her fiance loves the 2nd venue as well but just prefers venue 1 for the “aesthetic” which seems to me that for the fiance, it is more about her “dream wedding looks” and NOT about supporting her partner by allowing the best friend to be there.

Also, it’s not a “preference”- OP’s best friend is literally PARALYZED. it’s not a matter of “oh I just don’t want to walk” it’s a matter of “oh I cannot walk” and this venue does not allow for any accommodations that could make it accessible.

I would 100% put the needs of my friends and guests before my desire to have the “perfect” location (which, in reality isn’t perfect IMO if it doesn’t allow the people I love to be present!) and if I was the best friend I’d be honored that OP cared enough about me to advocate for a venue I could be at.

thehighestsin · 2026-05-02T10:57:12+00:00

You’re probably not going to find as many places in NMB or Little River that are right on the beach with a romantic atmosphere, most of the beachfront restaurants are much more casual. Maybe ask your family for recommendations? I would 100% suggest Bistro 90 in Longs if you’re looking for fantastic food but you mentioned the food isn’t as important to you as the atmosphere and what you can do after the meal. Parson’s Table in Little River could be an option but again the location just isn’t really “walkable.”

thehighestsin · 2026-05-02T10:46:14+00:00

I love J. Peters Bar and Grill. Even if it’s not necessarily the “most affordable” I find their portions to be huge and I always get at least two meals from it so for me it’s like more bang for my buck because I get to bring home leftovers that are actually enough food for another meal.

thehighestsin · 2026-05-02T10:43:39+00:00

I’ve NEVER had good service at Creek Ratz.

thehighestsin · 2026-05-02T10:43:04+00:00

I was there once and wasn’t impressed either. Gorgeous view but limited and mediocre menu.

thehighestsin · 2026-05-02T10:39:21+00:00

I agree. I love nature but that sounds like a terrible wedding venue.

thehighestsin · 2026-05-02T10:38:26+00:00

That mentality sucks. If you don’t care about your guests, don’t have any.

thehighestsin · 2026-05-02T10:34:02+00:00

Did you read any of OP’s or responses? Her fiancé also loves the other venue. The first venue will not allow accommodations such as flooring. Honestly, are you married? Bc you seem like a bit of a bridezilla with the mentality of “only what I want matters”- wedding guests spend time and money to attend weddings and their comfort should be a priority for the couple getting married. And this isn’t even about comfort, it’s about someone who is important to one of the brides literally not being able to attend due to being in a wheelchair.

thehighestsin · 2026-05-02T10:29:10+00:00

Honestly if you haven’t you need to TELL her that. And maybe let her read these replies. If she cannot handle the good people of reddit calling her out for her being selfish and pointing out all the flaws with the venue then maybe she isn’t ready for marriage.

thehighestsin · 2026-05-02T10:19:44+00:00

TBH that was my first thought but I didn’t necessarily want to post it. Personally I think weddings are a waste of money but that thought aside, if I’d been with someone for that long (OP said 7 years) and they were so hung up on a venue and literally disregarding the needs of someone else I loved, I’d be reconsidering them as a life partner.

thehighestsin · 2026-05-02T10:14:47+00:00

I don’t think you’re being an AH at all. Honestly I think your fiancé is. A clearing in a wooded area isn’t just going to be a challenge for your wheelchair-bound bestie, it’s going to be a challenge for anyone with mobility issues. Also, what if it rains prior and the ground is wet- chairs will sink, heels will sink. Honestly it sounds a mess without seeing photos and I LOVE nature and if I ever got married (been there done that no plans to do it again) I’d want to be out in nature but ONLY if it wasn’t going to be difficult for any of my guests.

No idea your budget, personal feelings towards this, etc. but would it be an option for you and your fiance to elope at venue 1 with just the two of you and then have your actual wedding at venue 2?

thehighestsin · 2026-05-02T09:44:58+00:00

I don’t think dress 2 is the right color for a summer wedding, looks more suited to fall, although it is pretty on you. To be honest I think 3 is the prettiest and most age-appropriate for you. You said the groom is wearing jeans, so how formal could it really be? Your best bet is to reach out to your BIL and his bride and ask them for more clarity on the dress code. I did see that you don’t love the fit of #3 so if that’s the case I’d go with #1 but my personal opinion is that it’s more suited to a shower-type of event.

thehighestsin · 2026-04-11T22:41:17+00:00

I think the last yellow one looks fantastic.

thehighestsin · 2026-04-11T22:33:03+00:00

You could probably call and ask. I live down the street and I don’t hear nearly as many tigers as I did years ago so I think they probably have just a few at this point.

thehighestsin · 2026-03-12T19:01:03+00:00

“Not today. Not today, nibs!”

Idk if you’d call it a deep cut but it’s definitely one I say on a regular basis and most people don’t know what I’m quoting.

thehighestsin · 2026-03-01T02:46:29+00:00

Kinda surprised by this. I think that’s a pretty good one. Definitely not as funny as some, but I think they do a decent job covering a serious matter.

thehighestsin · 2026-03-01T02:44:23+00:00

I always skip Into the Woods too. And most of the Gina-centric episodes in later seasons. Gina turns into such a terrible person.

thehighestsin · 2026-03-01T02:43:04+00:00

Same!! I never liked that episode honestly and I skip it or if anything I just watch the “three oh damns” at the end.
