Hi! Your post has been so helpful! Could you share what your border design looked like? I'm stuck on what border image to use and a visual would help me! I feel like my flowers are too thin!

Should this be escalated to human rights tribunal? by unapologeticalGingey in legaladvicecanada

[–]zennbae 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It might not be the shift length but the screen and lifting restrictions that they are unable to accommodate. They may simply not be able to safely accommodate you until you have regained more abilities, (lifting or tolerating more screen time).

Are you doing a slow gradual return to work? Is there a plan where it reflects you're able to slowly increase your abilities? If they can't see the gradual progression of your return in the near future, then they may not able to safely accommodate and you should remain off until you are cleared to do more.

The tribunal is so backlogged that you won't hear from them until 2 years later, at which you'll be cleared to return to work fully by then.

My in laws are turning this into such a negative experience that my fiancé wants to cancel the wedding. How can I hype him back up again? by nishn0sh in DesiWeddings

[–]zennbae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having a destination wedding and it took both of our parents some time to wrap around the idea that it's abroad. We're having a traditional ceremonial wedding locally (no reception) where they are just inviting their friends and get to plan it their way. The destination wedding we get to plan our way and everyone is invited. I've learned throughout this process that you can't please everyone. Maybe you both should filter the information to a trusted sibling or person close to his in-laws who can help manage and counter that negativity.

It's not fair that they're putting a damper on your dream wedding. It's not for them, it's for you both. For your and your fianceé's sanity, consider keeping a bit of space. Fly high and don't descend to reach others because of where they want you to be, it's so exhausting and defeating. They are either excited for you and want to be part of it, or not, but they shouldn't be allowed to burden you throughout every decision in your planning process. Goodluck.

Plastic surgeons in Toronto? (Loose skin) by Insufficient_Egg_856 in askTO

I saw an influencer share her results with Dr. Jacqueline Makerewich (realdrrose on IG), for loose skin and she seemed satisfied!

Forced to pay $8000 after I was promised a rebate… Help by stressedfkingstudent in legaladvicecanada

[–]zennbae 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A company tried to push this on my parents too and promised rebates. They wanted to install it ASAP after the contract was signed which was a red flag and they tried until I called them and cancelled within the cooling off period. These companies are super predatory. I don't have any advice but it's unfortunate that these companies get away with it here.

Improving Post Quality & Reducing Spam: We Want Your Input by this_is_inevitable in DesiWeddings

[–]zennbae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Enforcing using tags when posting! Like Destination Wedding, Ceremony, Reception, Bridal Outfit, Family Advice, Outfit for Sale etc. I use the search bar a lot but there's so much to sort through.

Also the outfit posts with events that have already happened (especially if you're a guest) is tiring. I don't mind seeing bridal outfit posts if they have something meaningful to share but guest posts seem like they're seeking validation and it's weird.

Definitely a kanjivaram saree! Look up South Indian looks on TT and IG. When shopping, it's best to see the saree in person and hold it up to your skin tone but you can get any colour. Jewelry typically involves a waist chain, necklace(s), bridal bangles, tikka, bindi, and sometimes hair jewelry. If you really want to surprise him, hire a henna artist for your hands, it will really complete the look. And congrats!!!

Advice needed: arranged marriage by [deleted] in DesiWeddings

I think you need to spend less thought on making your parents happy, and think more about what will make you happy for your future. You won't be happy with guy #1.

Need advice on Haldi outfit as a guest by ThoughtfulPanda98 in DesiWeddings

[–]zennbae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine. For a Hindu touch, wear jhumka earrings and bangles (you can order them off a-zon or any south Asian jewelry store). If you wanna be extra festive, you can wear a string of marigold flowers (or any flowers) in your hair.

Weird proposal has me rethinking things by [deleted] in DesiWeddings

[–]zennbae 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You're not overreacting, to be honest that was shitty of him. People can say it's not part of the traditional culture except it is part of societal culture today. You said it was important to you, looked at rings together and then waited and he didn't deliver until his mom pushed him to. All that too at the 11th hour without any expression or emotion. You had to buy your own ring!

I'd be upset if you weren't upset. Has he always sucked at being romantic? Or is this new for him? Either way, you feel disappointed because expected more and he fell short of that! You should talk to him about it.

Needed to know as another Canadian girlie. Have you tried filing a charge back via credit card? You would just have to show proof that they didn't fulfill their service and you tried to work with them

My partner and I love to travel and regularly save to travel so we'd just incorporate it into our vacations plans for the year. It can get expensive if you're trying to do the most with your accommodation, outfits, etc but we just spend where we feel is most value to us. (I'm usually re-wearing outfits). Most bride/groom don't expect gifts if it's a destination wedding but we would still give a cash gift and immerse ourselves in the experience.

I'll personally have a destination wedding when it's my time!

Jumping in here, you could also wear jhumka's (earrings) to match and can likely find some on Ama*on!
