I hate that this part is so true: “When you first get engaged, there’s a romance period before you actually realize that you’re about to get married. They had yet to emerge from that last Christmas, so this one just felt… different.”
Second that! My “rule” is the plus one has to fit 1 of 3 criteria: Live together/engaged/married, Relationship of at least a year by the wedding, or we know and like them.
Incredible timing — just spent over 15 minutes social media stalking a cousin to figure out if they need a +1 to my wedding or not and realized our last interactions were in 2011…
Agreed on the yellow label!! Last year my fiance got a bottle of Dom (and cleaned the apartment…swoon) for my birthday and I still like Veuve better. My fave affordable Proseccos are La Marca and Mionetto!
I needed this today. Got back from a wedding at 12:30 and having a rough Monday including an email to my boss from a Director about “missed deadlines” despite never asking me directly…
Re: telling someone you love them when vomiting/blacked out–you can recover! I did this on my 21st birthday and we are getting married next year, Ts & Ps to that girl though.
Powerpoint, no. Pinterest, yes, on a shared board with your best friend/sister/mom or whoever. In my case my sister and I went to try on rings roughly a year before it happened (or were even close) but we’re nuts. She had a google doc with all the pics, he was in and out of the store in an hour…
FWIW my now fiance didn’t say he loved me back the first time I said it either…might have had something to do with me violently vomiting into a trash bag in the middle of it. I agree with the others, definitely fixable, and hopefully she’s reading this. There’s something special in the way you talk about her in the articles, so best of luck!!
I agree with you! Just got engaged in September but we have been living together officially for 3 years, unofficially for 3.5-4 depending who’s old roommate you ask. I am horrible to live with so figured it would be better to have it all out there before trying to get married…

Been together for 5 years now, we still Venmo for rent and big purchases, but it’s always private!
Forgot pants once and had to wear my leggings all day (after washing in the sink, I know it’s gross)…thankfully nobody noticed! Echoing the Ts & Ps
Hickey trick: Spoon in freezer, hold it there and also scrape the edges against the hickey lightly as long as skin isn’t broken.

Student ticket all the way if you have a youth handy!

Agree! I am now obsessed with fiance’s buzzed look, and when it gets too long (where it grows) I’m not a fan

Re: Casino–slots are also good if you are wasted. You’re equally likely/unlikely to win no matter how drunk you are, and I’ve had pretty good wins.
