None. Spending enough on wedding and honeymoon. Buying a piece of art or home decor on our honeymoon together, instead

Not planning to get him anything. We are already living together so whatever each of us wanted, we usually get. Plus, I think it's too cheesy.

I got him engraved cufflinks (one with our initials, the other with our wedding date). I did have to spill the beans early though so he wouldn’t buy any.

A Rolex

Thanks folks! I had already gotten him the Rolex for the engagement, and he has cuff links coming from his parents, he’ll get a ring on the wedding day so I think my only jewellery option is a necklace of sorts! I got him a simple silver chain, and a Lego bride and groom at the alter set (he really likes Lego 😂) I’ll put a nice handwritten letter with it - that was a nice touch suggested!

Hello! I’m providing referrals for my organization. Latino Network is in Portland, OR and provides services to the Latino community. Benefits, work-life balance & work environment are AMAZING. 15 days off per year + paid self care days in summer (14 days), fully paid insurance, 401k with match, wellness stipends, access to Nike/Adidas employee store, free Trailblazers tickets + other sports teams and concerts, and many more benefits. Happy to chat with anyone about my experience.

One of my passion is telling me how to choose career path and how to make themselves better. I discovered that each time I talk to people about this am super excited and also people have commended on my experience on different subjects and wondered how I do it.

What career pathway do you guys suggest I go for ??

I would really appreciate your contribution.

I personally feel that it's absolutely ludicrous the US government is not enforcing or at least asking people to wear masks in healthcare environments like at the pharmacy, doctor's offices, or the hospital. We all wear ours behind the counter but I had a patient come in today WITH covid to pick up her prescription, no mask. I get that she already has it so she isn't worried, but what about the other people around??

About a year ago I picked up a job as an EA with $18 the hour. I had no experience but over time my boss has made me pick up more work to deal with this company’s disorganization. I tried negotiating my $ but no.

I love being an EA but not here.

I am doing nothing related to my film degree in NYC. Ideally, I’d love to be a EA in the Tv/Media field, knowing I have a lot to give. Pains me.

Any advice as a Noob? I am really trying to balance making ends meet and a good work environment.

What are your thoughts on unconventional/non-white wedding dresses?

Feeling guilty and insecure that I didn’t have a huge reaction to finding my wedding dress. I love the dress but I didn’t cry or jump up and down over it. I felt self-conscious after seeing everyone else’s reaction to my reaction when saying yes. I can’t shake the feeling now that I shouldn’t have said yes. Anybody else have a similar experience?

What is everyone doing for bridesmaids gifts? Getting married in December so was thinking of personalized blankets (that don’t say bridesmaid) but not sure if they’ll actually like that.

Sorry if this is a repeat question - I searched and didn’t immediately find it.

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).

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!
