I am still deciding if I should get that bra I saw in stores...I've never seen anything like it! I took a picture and am drooling over it. Gonna sleep on it.
You know, I like those ideas.
Hopefully, VS introduces the bra online. Glad you snapped a pic.
An elegant tea would be divine. However, I like real food. I see all this white and fancy dishes...and a slab of ribs does not go with that. Hahaha...maybe an elegant crab cake or stuffed lobster.
That's okay. I'm going to try the Gorgeous multi-way next.
It really depends on the family dynamic. I wasn't very close to my first cousins much less my second cousins. They were a lot older than I. My immediate family is very close though. Our kids are more like brothers & sisters than cousins. They do everything for each other. One of my nephew's wives wouldn't have his 2 female first cousins in his wedding. One was his mom's niece & the other was his dad's niece. He had all the boy cousins. My nephew is now in a situation where 2 of his first cousins don't like his wife. That's hard for him, since we are a close family. My other nephew only had his dad as best man & her sister was MOH. None of them were upset about that. Everyone loves his wife. The others had everyone in their wedding. The one nephew's wife has learned the hard way that actions have consequences. I don't know if the girls & their parents will ever feel differently about her. The sad things is the whole thing could have easily been avoided. She even went to a backup for one girl who dropped out. The backup was a 2nd cousin's wife who lives in FL that she never sees. (The bride grew up in NC.) She was the only one who would do it. I think that hurt the girls even more.
As for friends, as our lives change, we often grow apart. If you get married & have kids around the same time, a friendship will remain strong. It also helps, if you stay in close proximity. I've found with my moves & life changes, I've lost touch with good friends. It's really kind of sad. Those who have lifelong friends are very fortunate.
Refering to the Gorgeous Bra, are you trying it as a strapless bra? It does not have a strapless option. I only own the push-up styles, so I do not have the add-two-cups or demi styles. However, I do not believe any have a strapless option. The push-up style does have the low-back option.
I am familiar with your family wedding situation. I would have been the nephew's wife in your story...and not cared. I understand that other family members are hurt, but I am not a fan of others trying to live others' lives. It was her wedding. That's it. If that is the only reason (and it is probably not) that they do not like her, that is small of them. To openly alienate her (and I am not saying they do...I am just talking), could be a larger problem if/when they have children. She may not be comfortable with her children around them in her absence. The wedding is done, and all left now is to move forward. I hate when the introduction of a SO strains a family. I do not like either of my close cousins' wives, but I spend time with the families. I am actually very nice to the wives (in my own genuine way). It is their lives, but it is my family and I am not going to let these newbies get rid of me! (That went off topic a bit.)
I am lucky. The friends I am closest to are all married, and soon they will all have children. Better them than me, I say. I want to move away, and I will be texting them all the time WHEN I do. (I almost wrote "if".)
it crossed my mind too that it is what they're calling red... so i looked at the pic online and thought "no way"
vacay is not going well for me. i am sick

You're right, that's not the only reason some people don't like my nephew's wife. Basically, she's too selfish to be in a close family. You can't have an "all about me" attitude & coexist happily in a big family. All of us would do anything for each other. All the others who married into the family have joined in perfectly. My nephew is one of the biggest family people you'll ever meet. That's made it even harder for him. She appeared to be a different person, until she started planning the wedding. That brought her true personality out. My nephew actually asked me if he should leave at their wedding.
Everyone has their own opinion & who's to say which is right or wrong? I didn't think my wedding was all about me to do exactly what I wanted, regardless of whom I offended along the way. My wedding was about my DH & me becoming one & sharing our celebration with our family & friends. It was just as important to me that my inlaws felt a part of the wedding as it was for my family to. To me, a wedding day is one day on a person's life. Life isn't about the wedding it's about the marriage. I would have done anything at my wedding that would have made our life together better. There's a reason the Bridezillas show exists. People shouldn't behave that way. They're a joke & entertainment for others, but not in a good way.

Family situations are hard. And I feel like for Chinese weddings, you're supposed to invite everyone you know to get red envelope gifts (money). The more you invite, the more money you receive. But in my opinion, the costs outweigh the benefits. I've had a friend's sister get married and her father invited all his business associates --wtf? Our family has even received wedding invitations for 2nd? 3rd? cousins that I've met only ONCE. But invitations are also extended out to collect red envelope money. I guess it's like "we can't go, but here, congrats, and here's some money." We didn't go, but my parents paid up. But I guess it's also a respect thing. Though I may have my wedding perceptions one way, I'm hoping my parents won't butt in and want me to invite extended family we don't care about.
