Related: I am rationally against the idea of wedding gifts (it doesn't make sense! We've been living together for years and if we wanted upgrades to our shitty stuff, we could afford it ourselves). But I've been dealing with feelings of jealousy as I attend bridal showers for friends. Just looking at my cousin's registry (her wedding is next week and I don't have a gift yet) and feeling like... WHY NOT ME (answer: you chose not to) but still.

Maybe I need to just budget a few hundred dollars and allow myself a Crate and Barrel little spree

I am more comfortable braless than in a strapless bra

34B and I agree, all strapless bras are lies

Getting married in Sept... at least once a day I say one of these things "it feels like you want me to have the kidding of wedding you had. Yours sounds lovely, but it's okay that I want different things," "Your ideas are wonderful, but weddings can come in all shapes in sizes," "Weddings, like life, are a rich tapestry," "Why don't you do that at your wedding?" "It sounds like we have different ideas about what weddings can look like, isn't that beautiful?" etc forever

wait, what's the issue with the cake smash? We are considering doing it (wedding in Sept) but if there's weird tradition to it, I'll reconsider

DADS!

I love my dad, but I'm not doing and dad-daughter stuff. He's not walking me down the aisle because there will be no aisle walk (before there ceremony I'll just... already be there, eating hors d'oeuvres like everybody else). My partner wants to do a first dance together, so I will because it's his wedding too, but I don't want any first dances with parents because I feel weird about it.

Anyway, my dear dad is quietly hurt about both. I mostly only hear about it from my mom. I finally asked him how he felt about it and he was like, well, it's your wedding, but do you think it's okay if I still wear a tux?

I feel sad that I've made him sad, but I don't want dad-daughter stuff!

Definitely airport-dependent

Yeah it wasn't an intentional (or arbitrary) decision to pick yesterday. Yesterday was when it became news. They can't just hold in news because maybe people might act upon it
