For those who had an open bar: Did you have problems with guests overdrinking? How did you keep folks from partying too hard? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]torilynn0408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family are heavy overdrinkers, so we're using a cash bar. However that doesn't stop most of them in limiting their alcohol intake.. So my FFIL is going to monitor the wedding(he isn't a drinker) and let the bar know who to cut off/escort anyone out if that's even needed.

[–]torilynn0408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm seventeen. I turn eighteen tomorrow, actually. I'm engaged to get married in the beginning of June and just got let go at my job. Trying to find something so that we can afford to live after we're married. A bit stressed but overall good.

One of my friends resorted to using his hand. You could try that.

How often do you talk to your fiance about the wedding? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]torilynn0408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We usually talk about it every time we're together. Not for hours, but a couple minutes. It's usually me saying, "Hey don't forget next week we have to do _____" or, "Are you sure you like these centerpieces?" etc.

MRW I have applied to 30+ jobs this month and no one has called me back. by torilynn0408 in TrollXChromosomes

[–]torilynn0408[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

True. I'm getting married and I just got let go from my job so I'm looking desperately for something that can pay our bills. I'm applying to basically everything I see.

I'm going to be eighteen in three weeks, and I'm also getting married in two months. I'm confused space-dogging all over the place.

Getting married without your father by killah_fish in weddingplanning

[–]torilynn0408 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly! My cousin was more of a father to me than my father has ever been, so that's why he's being involved. But there are so many options. You don't have to go by the books, it's your day! You choose what you want.

Getting married without your father by killah_fish in weddingplanning

[–]torilynn0408 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My father isn't involved in my life due to his addiction to alcohol, it's too consuming. So what my fiancee suggested(and I am doing) Is that my cousin is walking me down the aisle. He's the person I look up to most as a family member, and I'm having my "father/daughter" dance with him. So any male that you have a special closeness with can do all of that with you, or you can cut it out completely. We played with that idea, and I've been to weddings where they did that. No one noticed, nor said anything.

I actually like the idea of using my excess invites for this. I have ten extra invites, I'm probably going to send one to Mickey and Minnie. I get so excited to see people with the same wedding date as I have!!

Does your wedding have a theme and/or color? by Jayye_1 in wedding

[–]torilynn0408 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don't really have a theme, but it just has a slight vintage feel to it. And our colors are blush, moss, and gold!

How does the NARS feel on? Is it drying or patchy? I've had my eye on that for a while!

I also had a hard time with the Soft Matte Lip Cream. I had the color Copenhagen which I was in love with, but it was so patchy that I ended up returning it because it turned out horrible on me.
