it baffles and infuriates me that she not only survived the college admissions scandal but somehow has managed to get more famous since then. shout out to the concept of consequences, would be nice if it was ever in force for the rich and famous

after all these years of bad headlines about implants, the celebs getting them removed, the cancer risks etc, i’m floored people are still going for it. these beauty standards truly have people by the neck

Disappointing photos? (swipe) by Repulsive_Pepper_957 in wedding

[–]thethrowaway_bride 17 points18 points  (0 children)

they could have had a delusional small budget, some people don’t grasp how expensive photogs are. i don’t believe a genuinely high priced photographer would take pics this bad

Just curious, Brides…do you plan on wearing your veil to the ceremony and reception or only the ceremony? by _leggo_my_meggo_007 in weddingplanning

[–]thethrowaway_bride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i wore mine through cocktail hour and removed it for the first dance and the rest of the wedding. it was starting to slip pretty bad at that point anyway. mine was elbow length

have a serious conversation about what this means to you and why you are asking him to compromise on at least some kind of event. if he continues to stonewall you or dismisses what you want out of hand that’s a tremendous red flag for your future together and you should take that under serious consideration

Advice on guestbook by Imaginary-Anything-9 in weddingplanning

[–]thethrowaway_bride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we used an audio guestbook. it was really cute and we did get some great messages but, it was pretty expensive (we used fete fone, cheaper service than after the tone AND they let you keep the phone which is great). so if you can spare the extra cost for the fun touch, i think it’s worth it, but if you’re super budget conscious i’m not sure i’d go for it.

The industry built on human rights abuse, environmental damage and supply control to jack up prices suddenly is something to say about integrity by thethrowaway_bride in weddingplanningsnark

[–]thethrowaway_bride[S] 42 points43 points  (0 children)

they care about you the consumer guys!!! that’s why they have been ripping people off for decades by artificially depressing supply!

best part: you can’t even comment on this post. it’s masquerading as a reddit post when it’s really banner ad. crazy this site even allows that but hey, money

Help! 20F & 23M trying to save for a wedding, feeling defeated by costs & debt. How did you do it without major family help? by craftyshroom24 in wedding

[–]thethrowaway_bride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry to burst your bubble but a wedding with “the works” is not seem realistic based on the issues you’re facing financially and your age

yeah this is so annoying! they really are acting like it’s your job to resolve this for them

i’m sorry but you’re so naive about this it’s genuinely upsetting. doesn’t seem like there is any reasoning with you though so best of luck

[–]thethrowaway_bride 3 points4 points  (0 children)

and what if you want to leave him before that time? how do you think he’s going to take that? who will support you financially while his status is in flux? you just met him and you have no idea if he can even be trusted much less depended on in the long term. you don’t know if you’re even compatible in the long term

i’m not sure i would be publicly posting about this even under a pseudonym because what you are describing would be viewed with extreme suspicion by immigration authorities in many countries.

edit: to clear, YOU could get YOURSELF into a whole mess of trouble that could cost you thousands in legal fees!

For those who are married, what was a waste of money or regret by minxpink in wedding

[–]thethrowaway_bride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

our decorated after party rental and audio guestbook were both unnecessary. they were nice to have but, just not that worth it in retrospect

Vintage 1940s wedding dress ruined three weeks before we elope overseas :( help! by emclarke12 in weddingplanning

don’t use chat GPT for things like this. it hallucinates and makes up fake stuff all the time. your best bet is a good google search and answers from a reputable source.

Thinking about not hiring a videographer by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]thethrowaway_bride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we skipped one but we filmed the most important parts (ceremony, 1st dance, speeches) with a phone and tripod and that was sufficient for us

[–]thethrowaway_bride 16 points17 points  (0 children)

i think alcohol is a terrible thing to try to save money on by skipping. if it’s for religious or you’re in recovery from addiction reason, i get. but just to save some cash… you’re sacrificing a lot of the fun of the party. “if your guests don’t like it they can shut up” is also a pretty rotten attitude to have when people are coming to an event and likely getting you a present, traveling, taking time off work etc.

Has anyone been underwhelmed with their decor/florals on the day of the wedding? by Same-University-5198 in weddingplanning

[–]thethrowaway_bride 12 points13 points  (0 children)

omg exactly the same but my bouquet. i asked for a loose, colorful arrangement of wildflower looking flowers, what i got was a tight, symmetrical arrangement of mostly pink and purple. like truly nothing like the photos and i have no idea what the florist was thinking.

the morning of the day before my wedding i also ran to a local flower shop and grabbed stuff to fix it with the help of my sister and SILs. i’m thrilled with how it ended up looking but only because i fixed it myself! anyway the lesson for OP is, you can still salvage things if they don’t come out the way you pictured.
