There were certain things he took care of completely. He had a much busier work schedule than me at the time, so I coordinated most of everything else. My parents also financially contributed, so I coordinated a lot with my mom. Had my husband not been so busy with work, it would have been 50/50.

My husband was fairly involved. I did a bit more work because I was slower at work but we also talked when we got engaged about how if we were having a wedding, we were both expected to equally be involved.

My fiance has been very involved. We both work full time. I’ve really gotten overwhelmed with all of it and he’s taken notice and has really been such a big help with handling DJ, catering, looking up design/decor ideas.

Research and conceptually very involved. Did take on some time intensive items like selecting the band, compiling song lists, and help with gift registry... which was .much more time consuming than one would think. However as withevery large project. someone has to be in charge, have the master do list, and assign tasks.

Hi all,
I just moved here so this might be a dumb question so please don’t judge. Why does my laundry smell like pee and how can I fix it? I used a common washer and dryer in my building. Is it because of that? Is it mold? Is it the water? I air dry my workout leggings and they all smell really weird and I don’t know what to do 😔

Thinking about adjusting starting to eat at 9:30/10 tomorrow instead.

No questions, just this is going to be something new to get used to.

Hi everyone - We are thinking of changing our wedding photographer after unsatisfactory engagement photos and unsatisfactory communication (unresponsive after multiple attempts). We paid a $450 retainer which we know will be not refundable. However, we are not sure about other liability as we read our contract and found these 2 clauses (in comments). Please advise! Definitely not happy with her and would like to switch to another one but also want to make sure we make the right move. Thanks!

Any recommendations for good videographers in NYC/Tri-State? A lot of the affordable ones I find make the cheesiest videos. I’ve certainly found some good ones but very expensive. I know you get what you pay for, but there has to be someone reasonably priced out there that delivers quality work. I am splurging on the photographer so this would just be an extra.
