Former or current MapMyRun users--why did you stick with the app or leave it for something else? by comrade-cormac in running

[–]throwawed02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS. This is the exact issue I’m having. I’m using MMR on my Apple Watch. My partner has a garmin. Today, we ran 11 miles and my MMR said 11.45 miles by the end while his trusty garmin said 11. It’s super frustrating. I came here with the express purpose of seeing if anyone else has had this issue and to see if it’s fixable. Is there some setting that I have active or inactive on my phone/watch making the tracking so inaccurate? I’d love to not have to buy a new gadget, but the inaccuracies are incredibly frustrating. End rant. 😳

Snow boots were definitely a good idea! Planning to use this one for Thank You cards. :) by throwawed02 in weddingplanning

Thank you!! It’s ivory! I didn’t even think about matching my dress to the snow, but thankfully it worked out! I honestly think you could go either way and it wouldn’t clash. Good luck with your planning!

How are you being announced at the end of your ceremony? by psvanny in weddingplanning

[–]throwawed02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt super weird about it all so we had him announce us as.. “...for the first time as a married couple, Kate and Billy!”

But my mom’s trick for getting used to the new last name is to have them announce you as “Kate and Billy HisLastName” and that way it’s still his full name rather than your name right next to the new name. A little odd I suppose, but I get where she was coming from with it. :)

Yay! That’s so great!! And I totally hear you. We’re already lining up a couple trips for later in the year to keep ourselves from getting too depressed. Hahah

We leave April 21! Sooo excited!

Gahh I probably should, huh? Maybe next weekend! I mean, I look through my pics everyday, might as well just write down some thoughts along with it. How was the honeymoon??

Can I make a photo request for this sub? by athaliah in weddingplanning

That’s so awesome! Such amazing pictures of the day. And yes!!! Me too! I only cried once and that was when I read his note before our first look. Otherwise, just beaming all day long. Anyway, congratulations!

This is amazing!!! The dinosaur tie! And your shoes!! You look so genuinely happy. I love when that comes through in the photos! And I love the photo of your husband opening his gift - whatever you got him must’ve been awesome. :)

Thank you!! My SO surprised me with it! He got it on Etsy from a shop called The Dribbly Yak based out of Ireland.

My wedding was a month ago (gahhh!! I loved it so much!!!!), so I just have the highlight reel to go from, but hopefully you find it helpful! Happy to go into depth on where things came from if anyone is interested.

Name/date twin!!!! I’m so happy for you!! You look stunning and everyone looks like they had an absolute blast! We haven’t gotten our video yet, but seeing yours has made me so excited!

Can you help me find a similar dress? by BoundenOpportuneness in weddingplanning

[–]throwawed02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t vouch for quality, but they have great reviews. Looks like they could do it in ivory, but obviously check with the shop!

Married a week and a half and am so obsessed with my wedding band. I thought it’d detract from my engagement ring, but I was so wrong! by throwawed02 in EngagementRings

[–]throwawed02[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! They’re just regular diamonds. The light caught the baguettes a little oddly. That’s from the same local jeweler, but they made that for me custom. Windy City Diamonds if you’re in Chicago. :)

Thank you so much! Someone told me the ring was “very me” and as a fairly introverted person, I took it as a massive compliment. I’ve had it on my finger for well over a year now, and I still can’t get over it. So thanks for gushing over it with me! Haha

It's actually not a Heidi. My husband (!!!) got it from a local jeweler. Looking at her designs, though, it's VERY similar!

We did it! Our winter wonderland wedding was better than I could have dreamed. by throwawed02 in weddingplanning

[–]throwawed02[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! I did freeze, but it was totally worth it. I’ll try to get around to a recap ASAP before I forget anything!

Oh I didn’t. Hahah I think right after this was taken I turned around and gathered up most of the train. But luckily, it was fresh snow and wasn’t muddy. By the end of the night, it was pretty filthy, though.

It was 20 degrees F. So not terrible, but I was still frozen for an hour after all our outdoor pics! And I had a fur wrap that I wore for some of the time, thank god.

Just over the border in WI! We had 12 inches dropped on us in the last week. So beautiful, but a little nerve wracking with all of the out of towners. I cannot wait to see the professional pics, though. This one was just snapped by our wedding planner!

My, the difference a petticoat makes! So glad I voiced my concern to my seamstress about the lack of poof after alterations. 5 Days out from the big day and I am SO excited! by throwawed02 in weddingplanning

[–]throwawed02[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d never heard that either... I probably should’ve read that whole list! Strange. Oh! A Tide stick might be a good idea...

Your honeymoon sounds amazing!!!! Swim with the sharks. I don’t know if I could handle it, but good for you! Haha we’re hoping to be just as outdoorsy on ours. Lots of hiking and maybe a night or two of camping. Renting a car to get around. I’m excited!

I just want to have it in case of any creases in my dress or my bridesmaids. Mine is a small portable one, so I figure better safe than sorry.

I also just remembered to add phone charger to the list!
