Started working for a new company this year and apparently last year the CEO was going so hard on the dance floor that she fell and broke her arm and had to be taken to the hospital. I was promised that this year’s holiday party will be on par with that.
My family is incredibly extra when it comes to Christmas and our dogs. Without fail there is at least one gift under the tree each year addressed in my mom’s handwriting to me from “Corky and Bella”
We were always a real tree family growing up but my dad finally convinced me to stop whining about fake trees when he told me they planned to get a 12 foot fake tree in place of getting the traditional 6-7 foot real trees we had my entire childhood. Definitely worth going fake and pre-lit for a tree that big.
Seconded. I once drunkenly agreed to let my long-distance boyfriend of six months move in with me if he moved across the country to live in my city. Luckily the next morning we both realized what a mistake it would have been and eventually just broke up instead.
That could work to OP’s advantage though. If dad (and other relatives) are against the elopement they might ease up on the idea of the couple living together.
#2 – another option to explore might be to do a small elopement with just family and close friends before you move in together to alleviate your dad’s concerns and then do the big ceremony and reception at a later date as originally planned. It seems like more and more people are doing it that way anyway.
Just because a proposal is a surprise doesn’t mean an engagement is a surprise. Getting engaged SHOULD be planned and discussed ahead of time and then you can still have the actual timing, location, ring, etc. of the proposal be a surprise.
I’m in DC where the JL makeup is extremely diverse. We are proud to have our first African-American league president this year.
I think a lot of us are in Junior League. Might want to educate yourself about what it really is before stereotyping.
NYE on Thursday is my favorite because then we get New Year’s Day off on Friday plus the weekend.
How are you not going to include omelette stations in this list?

Can’t imagine not letting my dog sleep in my bed. I just have a “no dog on the sheets” rule. He’s allowed on the comforter or throw blanket.

Also my dog would 100% try to eat a real tree and drink the water.

Came here to ask this same question haha those things are awful.
Can confirm. Recently did this because my junk drawer was so full that it got stuck.
Dry ice in the water feature out front is always my dad’s favorite.

Recently played this for 8 straight hours on a trip to wine country with friends. It never gets old!
Wits and Wagers is super fun with a group and also pretty easy to turn into a drinking game.
My mind is blown because I just realized this is a chain (if you can call 4 restaurants a chain). We also have AYCE Sushi Para in DC.
