I (28F) have (for the most part) always been on the 'if it happens it happens and if it doesn't oh well' side of having a baby. I'm the friend that was always cool with being the fun aunt. AND then.. husband (31) was diagnosed with testicular cancer. In July. And for some crazy reason we (he) decided we should at least TRY for a baby while we wait to see what happens. I went off HBC July 14. He had surgery to remove the tumor and his left testicle July 25. This is technically cycle 2 (withdrawal bleed and two periods so maybe cycle 3?) after his surgery. He has had a SA. It's not great but it was pre surgery and the oncologist says it's possible it will get better in 6 months. But now I'm a
I've been keto since September. I've lost 30lbs but have been losing the same 3lbs for the last month. That being said I've had ALL the NSV's this week.
A friend bought me a belt in November when I was complaining about my pants falling down it didn't fit then but it did today! This is also the first time I've worn a belt in like 8 years and my pants are to big again.
I FINALLY lost an inch from my thighs after no change since November in that area. My wedding rings are to big, they've been loose for the last couple weeks but they are falling off now so I've traded them out for some silicone ones so I don't lose them. I put a bunch of clothes in the 'to small' pile last February - every
A month ago I started keto with my husband. He wanted to see if cutting carbs would help his digestive issues. He is a small dude so weight loss was/is not his goal he just wants to feel better. He convinced me to try it with him for a month and then if I hated it I could stop.
Turns out he's the one that still drinks sugar and junk but doesn't eat traditional carbs - pasta, bread, potatoes.
Today I've lost 14.1lbs. In 30 days. Amazing. BUT I was more stunned this afternoon after running late and about to pee my pants when I realized I had pulled my pants down WITHOUT unbuttoning my jeans. They just slid off!! And then slid right back up.
First. We get married in 8 days. If I could go back and change one thing it would be to switch venues in January like my gut told me to do. But that's a rant for another time.
We did our seating chart for 156 people. I can not get even tables of 8 people. It just doesn't work. Currently our break down is
11 tables of 8 people
5 tables of 7 people
2 tables of 6 people
1 table of 10 people
1 table of 4 (kids table)
I have them all mixed up so hopefully it won't look off having empty places.
Has anyone else had this issue/been to a wedding with empty spots? Is it weird or can I just be done with with it?
We are having a winter wedding (in 18 days!!!!) and I guess I expected my photographer to be more involved in finding photo locations.. we do have a spot but getting it organized has been a gong show. It's still not 100% at this point but I'm just hoping it all works at this point..
Did you find your location or did your photographer help/find one/ make suggestions?
We're getting married December 16 (eek!!). When I was looking for bridesmaids dresses and deciding on colours I wanted a deep burgundy for my girls. It was impossible to find the colour I wanted. Of course now it's EVERYWHERE.
I've had three friends send me photos of dresses they want/already bought to wear to the wedding. And they are the exact same colour as the bridesmaids dresses.
If they just showed up in them that's one thing but I feel like it's my colour and if I know about it before then... I don't know.
Can't they find a different one...? What do you all think? Is it okay for me to say no find a different colour or is it okay for quests to wear the wedding colours..?
For those of you that had a welcome dinner the night before - who did you invite? Only out of town guests? Only out of town family? What about the family that is in town? Your entire guest list?
Our issue is - FH's step-sister got married last year and had A BUNCH of out of town guests (mostly family), they had a rehearsal dinner with just the bridal party (which is fine) - however this meant a lot of the family was mad that they didn't get to spend time with them outside of the wedding - which really IMO who cares, its their wedding. However, now FH and I are getting married in December we want to have a welcome dinner for our out of town guests as FMIL has like 10 sisters (all of whom ar
How many people did you invite to your bridal shower and how many actually showed up?
I just finished my list, which includes the women in both FH and my families and some friends. It's 55 people! That's a small wedding.. I almost feel like it's a ridiculous amount of people for a shower but we both have huge families.
So we are getting married Dec 16 2017. Ceremony and reception will be in the same place. In order to avoid the 3-4 hour window that generally comes with having to flip the space we were thinking of having everyone (except immediate family) seated at their table during the ceremony.
Has anyone ever been to a wedding that did this or are you planning on doing this?
My mom FH and MOH think it's fine but I can't wrap my head around it and think it might end up having a conference like feel to it? I just really don't want to have a huge gap between because it could be really cold and there isn't a ton to do around our venue it is right down town but it would be easier to be all in one place
My fiance and I have been engaged for about 1 month - we have looked at a few wedding venue options and are now trying to decide what the best way to go is. We are having a winter wedding - December 2017 - we have approx 180 guests.
One venue (which we both love!) holds a max of 500 people but they can corner off the room so it is not as big - there is an area for a cocktail reception and the dinner/dance. Meal options are 1 carved and 1 entree, pasta bar, 4 salads, 3 starch, dessert table all for 40bucks a head.
The second venue holds a max of 140 people (this was VERY cramped and I would not want more then 120 tops). Menu option is 1 meat, 2 starch, 2 salad and a dessert bar (which we
