For sure a good venue helps create a special vibe. I would have loved to have a reception at a botanical garden but it's pricey... We don't have the budget to rent a fancy venue or create a whole reception in an outdoor venue. So we have to find ways to make an indoor venue special.

Yeah definitely have to consider incorporating hot food/hor d'ourvres though increases costs... -

We already decided to have a two part reception where directly after the ceremony we have an afternoon cocktail style reception in the same location, and only the family will gather for proper dinner at a separate location. We both don't dance so we cut that part out completely. But because there's no dancing I have to consider other activities to encourage mingling and have fun in other ways.

Cheap and easy is ideal is but we live in a big city and want to stay local so it doesn't work out that way :')

I'm in the midst of wedding planning and would like to hear your experiences, as I have only been to one wedding.
I'm curious about if you've picked up on any unique considerations that went into the structural/event design as well as the emotional takeaway from attending the event:
What made that wedding distinct from the others?
What aspects of the wedding did you find thoughtful and memorable?
How did that wedding make you feel as a guest?
How do you want to feel as a guest at a wedding?29 votes -

Some recommendations:
*Warning before before exit screen: I had to redo it so many times because I'd accidentally swipe out or tap the reference photo and lose my original image.
*Palette bar should save some colors used/color history
*Custom color choosing shouldn't start with black
*needs zoom controls
*need erase tool
*ability to reference the prior panels beyond the prior one without losing your work -

(Caveat is that it doesn't reflect real handwriting as it's per letter and mixed cursive writers like me won't naturally reflect in this) but still enjoy this project of yours! -

I don't really listen to country music and this album is not super heavy country sounding but has the country flairs and some songs can hear more of the southern accent. I enjoyed the killers Pressure Machine a lot and see this album as an extension to that. -
Comment on Gift ideas for niece who’s into sewing? in ~life.women

I barely use my rotary, but will come in handy at times).
Depending on her current supplies these basics I consider necessary:a set of needles and pin, pin cushion, seam ripper. Assorted thread/bobbin colors. Sewing machine needles of varying gauges (when starting out might break them often xD), tape measure, extra blank bobbins (that fit her machine! There are different types)Other useful tools: seam gauge ruler!! , sewing ruler (or clear plastic ruler is an acceptable sub ), and sewing clips (do not replace pins but very helpful), tailors wax/chalk.
Your niece is lucky to have an uncle supporting her sewing hobby journey :)

I find this album themes relatable to my own relationship experiences. Kudos...She caught my ear once I heard 90's/00s alt rock vibe in GUTS that I was nostalgic for. Enjoying this album as well.

HI introduced me to the podcast world. And it was one of the first online fan community I heavily participated in, though purely contained within the web. I still have yet to meet a Tim IRL and the fan in me will be thrilled when that day comes.

If I like the song there's a chance I'd like the album or artist so I go do some exploratory listening. If I like the album as a whole I'll dump it into my annual Playlist and selectively listen to the album on repeat if I really like it. If not I choose the few songs I like and move on.

Comment on What's something that you missed out on? in ~talk

I had friends in school but rarely hung out outside of school. I was introverted so going to a party never appealed to me nor was I often invited. I was a late bloomer and never developed any romantic relationships in high school. I focused on my studies and extra curricululars that I enjoyed. I did well in school. I had a bunch of hobbies that I spent time on at home and consider myself well rounded today. I didn't need the teenage life that was advertised to me. I am happy where I am now and the person I grew up to be.
Honestly I would love to incorporate mass hand made products into my table decorations as favors, I'll have to think about this one too... Thanks!!
