Has anyone had an unconventional wedding? Like eloping, taking professional wedding photos for an actual wedding and then had a small gathering? I just don’t want to spend excessively on a wedding when I would rather spend on purchasing a home?

Only invited bride and grooms immediate family, best decision ever. No stress and day was easy. All our friends and extended family were happy for us to do what we wanted, save money and energy. Would highly recommend and you can throw a low key party another time and invite more people!

Do what works best for you two! As long as you guys are on the same page, just have a smaller gathering later. The people who are going to remember the most of your wedding are you two. The others will go to so many other weddings and no offense to you or anything, but they're not going to think about your wedding as time goes on.

So do what's best for you guys. Getting a house is important - save your money if that's your priority. 😊 Have a smaller party, then make memories in your new home!

Any advice on how to tastefully tell your manager that you no longer want to be a charge nurse anymore? For us being in charge is having full assignment 3p-7p & being responsible for assigning pts , communicating w/ supervisor about various issues, making the assignment for next shift, and a mini report about each pt for the next charge. On the weekends, same responsibilities but 7a-7p. We don't get any additional pay for being in charge and I'm sick of the added responsibility and stress of it.

What is the advice on what feedback to leave for a peer who really sucks at everything y'all have worked together on? It's about the time where everyone on my team requests feedback from each other and I'm nervous for it coming up. My manager knows that everything I've worked w her on I end up doing 90% of the work when it's meant to be split so it is a known issue. We're both at level 3 so are genuinely peers. She seems like a nice person but i have 0 positive work feedback tbh

Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue. That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!
