Also, so many cultures don’t wear white dresses. That’s just North America and Europe really. Seen many of my friends wear the most beautiful lehengas that are so colorful or East Asian friends wear stunning red.

Do what makes you happy! Everyone is there to see you and celebrate your love, regardless of what color gorgeous outfit you show up in! I saw some amazing blue, orange and black dresses, both one and two piece, while looking for inspiration though pulled the trigger on a more traditional ivory myself. This I complemented with a red dress to pay respect to my Asian heritage.

After a hard reset on travel points (got none after Covid and change to industry) how would you start over? Which credit card is best for travel points? Airline? Starwood or Bonvoy? Avis or ??

At one time I had status on most airlines and hotels but I never bothered to focus on accumulating points since it seemed like they were infinite and I booked on convenience. Oh have times changed! I even let go of Amex platinum, just wasn’t worth it to me. Base airport LAX/SNA so no airline pref.

I quit. I was respectful. Thankfully, every person I have told has been so nice, and I wasn't immediately bounced out by my leadership (which has happened), but I have been surprised by my own bittersweet tears. If they actually cared, why didn't they say so sooner? I gave so much, and I was consumed by this organization. I invested in them, but my investment and dedication were not reciprocated, which is why I ever even entertained leaving. I don't know why it hurts, but it really, really does.

I’m a recent transplant into the industry coming from Tech. Was hired for my software skills, but I am now doing market research and generating trade ideas as well. Expectation is I will be trading as soon as I get up to speed. My desk (global macro) manages ~$1B. I sort of jumped in without setting expectations on bonus, and I don’t know what to expect / how I should negotiate if PM tried to lowball me (granted we do well this year). Any advice would be appreciated!

I’m notoriously bad with “aesthetic” and design.

Anyone else realize thay they are a generous gift giver throughout the wedding planning process? I have never given less than $150. Also, the amount of $$ given to us has no tie to how close we are to the gift giver or the gift giver’s financial status. We have close wealthy friends giving $100 and not-as-close working class friends giving $300. Meanwhile, no siblings giving anything. Has this happened to others?

Need some advice! Should we update our wedding start time to 4pm so we can have our after party 10pm-1am instead of 5pm wedding start and 11pm-1am after party? We sent wedding invites with a 5pm start time because we have 6hrs at the venue and the bar around the corner said the after party had to be 11pm-1am. Now bar said thee after party can start at 10pm. We can realistically contact all who RSVPd yes to let them know AND a 4pm start time means we still have daylight (it’s a winter wedding).
