Does anyone’s finance’s sometimes get quiet when you talk about wedding planning or just don’t know what to say?

Unless you have an unlimited budget try to remember, this is your wedding day, not a family reunion or a meet a greet. Focus on inviting the people who have loved and supported you. Chances are those who haven’t - won’t! Why include them now?

C1 yes. As in have my formal big wedding with family and friends since we couldn’t have any of that during lockdowns. It’ll be our 5 year anniversary. Perfect time to finally have our wedding we had planned and share that moment with the people we want to celebrate with. Who says there’s a time minimum on vow renewals lol. I know some people that do it every year on their anniversary just the two of them. And others who do it every 5 or 10 years. If you had always dreamed of a wedding and then a pandemic canceled it, you’d likely want to celebrate still too.

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?
