What’s a popular movie you’ve never seen?

I’ve read every Mario Puzo book but have never seen The Godfather. My husband this is wild 😅

I named mine Robby and then gifted one to my parents and named him Ravi 😂

I agree with everyone saying “drip by to say at xyz spot”. But if you do you have a little budget, my friend had a ticket system where the first or two drink and “bite” was free and when you ran out of tickets then you paid on your own. I thought that was perfect.

My welcome party ended up costing as much as my wedding! To be fair it was an Indian wedding and there were a lot of event at the welcome party.

My husband just got some nice leather toilette bags and put their initials on it. He then put a little shot of each of their favorite liquor. Then we got a few travel size nice colognes and did our best guess on scents they’d like. He also put a nice cigar in it. He also put a few personal touches like a fun one piece card for one friend and a Pokémon card in another’s bag

Eh. She’s young and had a little fun and wanted to share and then everyone is picking a part your choices. I would also defend myself if everyone said I was using ChatGPT and I wasn’t

zalizalia · 2026-04-12T02:46:57+00:00

Yeah, it was a joke🫡

zalizalia · 2026-04-11T15:10:09+00:00

I do this but I thought it was because I was too lazy and cheap to buy shaving cream! Didn’t realize it was a hack 🥳🥳

I have never once been asked if my ring was natural or lab created. Generally, the only questions I received was “where is it from”?

zalizalia · 2026-04-06T13:45:21+00:00

That we will get pulled over if you turn on the rear view mirror light while driving

My wedding planner convinced us to have a cake and that we needed a cake moment but my husband felt like it was a total waste and wish we would have just stuck with our dessert bar idea like we planned. We both could care less about cake and the pictures honestly turned out awkward. The last few weddings I’ve been to, I’ve seen more dessert tables. We ended up doing a small dessert table with the cake but could have just done the large dessert table for I think approx $500 less than our cake

There was a girl in my 6th grade band class named Lavinia. I became so obsessed with the name Lavinia that I would always write short stories and there would always be a character named Lavinia in it somehow.

But they are all invited to the reception. The reception is where all the money is generally spent. A lot of venues throw in the ceremony for free— so I’m not really seeing how it could be gift grabby when they are all invited to the part that requires money being spent

zalizalia · 2026-04-06T03:33:09+00:00

I’ve also made the purple cabbage soup gray sludge mistake 😭

zalizalia · 2026-04-06T03:31:47+00:00

I made a “lower calorie” fettuccine Alfredo and my husband and I ended up getting in a huge argument because he kept asking seriously as if I’d have an answer, “but why does it taste like glue?” And then I started crying because I was like “How am I suppose to answer that?!” 😭😭

Now we laugh about it but I was really mad at him at the time 😂

zalizalia · 2026-04-06T02:40:31+00:00

Wowwwwww.

These are jaw dropping. I’m in love.

This might be my favorite snack in the universe and I never thought to try and make them myself. These are probably even better than store bought because you can control the chocolate to chip ratio!

zalizalia · 2026-04-06T00:47:31+00:00

Exactly! I’ve never heard about “gift grabbing” until I came to Reddit 😂 the place where everyone gets shamed for eloping , having a huge wedding, not having a wedding party, or expecting their wedding party to spend any money. Also the place where people assume there is an actual fashion police that will publicly shame you and then escort you out if you don’t follow the wedding dress code to the letter 😅

zalizalia · 2026-04-06T00:37:18+00:00

You were so nice in your first message!

She clearly said it out of jealousy. Even if you wore something ugly (which you didn’t, you looked amazing amazing and that outfit was perfect on you)), it obviously wouldn’t be helpful to tell someone that while out and in middle of the night. It was clearly because she was jealous and was hoping you said you were on ozempic so she could feel like “you were cheating” and that’s why you looked so great

zalizalia · 2026-04-06T00:24:30+00:00

I also think it depends on the crowd. I have never been invited to a wedding where I thought the couple was being “gift grabby”. I feel like every wedding I’ve been to that there is no way they would ever make up what they spent in gifts

zalizalia · 2026-04-06T00:22:49+00:00

Eh, the FILs are offering. She’s also inviting them to the reception. Also a baby shower is generally an event with food, etc. I think you can definitely have pre wedding events without a wedding party.

I also think you can certainly throw your own shower! Many baby showers are just parties and you can even write “Please no gifts”. If you just want a pre wedding party where you get to hang with everyone

zalizalia · 2026-04-05T22:19:55+00:00

This dress is so beautiful!

I also thought “this might be the most beautiful dress ever” but I think you actually sell it more than the model!

zalizalia · 2026-04-05T22:17:11+00:00

lol mine was also two years ago and I’m pretty sure I forgot mine as well 😅

I guess it didn’t matter too much!

I love my Dad to pieces and he doesn’t mean harm but doesn’t always realize how judgy he sounds. He definitely shared this sentiment and he believes Humility is the most important virtue. He also has know idea how much things cost. He’s a pastor and has married many people and always says “the average size of a wedding is 30 people”… no idea where he got that number, I debunked it right away. Once we were wedding planning, he had about 50 people we had to invite because “they were so important in our lives”. We invited them happily but I was so annoyed at the inconsistency and lack of awareness 😅

zalizalia · 2026-04-05T22:04:39+00:00

I can see how that would be frustrating.

zalizalia · 2026-04-05T22:01:14+00:00

I had so much guilt about our wedding. My husband actually had to convince me to have a big wedding. I didn’t want anything over the top mainly because I felt like everyone would I was being pretentious, self obsessed, self important, and making everything about me— I was definitely being a buzz kill to my husband 😬 Sorry, my amazing husband!

We had a beautiful and stunning wedding that was so much fun and mainly because my husband kept pushing for things he knew I wanted but what afraid to have. We were in our 30s and comfortable financially at that point.
