People who have had weddings before (and even folks who are also only in the planning stages): what are your thoughts on this pricing & amenity list? This is a nicer venue in a mountainside forest.

Started watching some wedding planning content while sick because it's mindless, why not? And anyway, I just had the best idea...

GATOR TOSS

Instead of the garter toss (which a lot of people find awkward, to each their own), the couple throws some kind of alligator-related object into the crowd -- a plushie, hard plastic figurine, live gator if you're marrying Florida Man.

A friend just threatened to ban my fiance and I from ever seeing her kids again if we choose to ask that the only kids present at our wedding are immediate family and kids in the wedding party. Her kids would be in the wedding party, but because we’d be implying that parents get a sitter, we’re encouraging unsafe parenting and are no longer safe to be around her kids if we go through with this choice.

I want so badly to tell you this is an April Fool’s day joke but this girl is already 1 foot on the tradwife/fundie/doomsday mom track so I’m not surprised yet I’m absolutely dumbfounded at the same time about how she jumped to that conclusion.

oh wow that's a headscratcher tbh, when I first read this I was like "ok well that woman is uniquely crazy" but the more I thought about it, the more it 100% sounds like a trad or fundie move to deem any and all babysitters dangerous and freak out about that.

not gonna lie I'd have no idea what to tell this woman either....... it sounds like she's far enough down the trad pipeline that's she's been convinced her children aren't safe with any person on the planet outside of their immediate family (very statistically untrue sadly) which is giving me like, Karissa Collins vibes. that's a few steps past the raw milk stage I feel.

i'm really trying to think of what I'd say in that situation bc I highly doubt there's any chance of making her be introspective about why she feels that way........ if she's a good friend I'd probably ask her to explain that thinking too me, because I don't understand?

I would also probably say something along the lines of, I'm really sorry you feel that way, but it is not my job to police how every single person I know parents, and I have to do what I need to do for my wedding set up/venue. And if she still feels that way then that's her prerogative as a parent but that's very upsetting for you, obviously.

idk that's a tough one and I'm sorry you have to deal with that. That's a really unfair and shitty position she's put you in.

81k and I are a weird match. he seems like a 10x engineer to me (hard to tell from the outside, of course) but he thinks software is kind of an arbitrary specialization and yearns to be good at drawing. whereas I'm moderately good at art but think it's approximately a worthless skill that it's almost, like, sinful to invest more into in, and software is the true test of my intellect and character which I have failed

Anyone know of a safe way a disabled enby could make some money? The DWP is a joke and my reduced benefits are fucking me up, especially with the rise in inflation. Groceries are more expensive, and I’m planning a wedding, which is way more expensive than I ever thought.

Planning a Dream Wedding in Lake Tahoe: Expert Tips from Top Wedding Planners

Lake Tahoe, with its breathtaking scenery, crystal-clear waters, and majestic mountains, is an idyllic destination for couples seeking a stunning backdrop for their wedding. Whether you're envisioning a cozy lakeside ceremony, an elegant mountaintop reception, or a chic resort wedding, Lake Tahoe offers a variety of options to make your wedding day unforgettable. However, planning a wedding in such a unique location can be complex. That's why it's crucial to work with top wedding planners who know the ins and outs of the area.

To help you navigate the wedding planning process, we've gathered expert tips from seasoned wedding planners who specialize in Lake Tahoe weddings. With these insights, you’ll be ready to turn your dream wedding into a reality.

1. Choose the Right Time of Year

Lake Tahoe’s weather can vary dramatically depending on the season, so selecting the right time for your wedding is key. Summer and fall are popular seasons due to the mild weather and stunning natural beauty, but each season offers its own charm.

Summer (June-August): Ideal for outdoor ceremonies, with warm temperatures and long daylight hours. However, this is also the peak wedding season, so book your venue and vendors early.

Fall (September-November): Fall offers cooler weather and breathtaking autumn foliage, making it perfect for couples who want to capture vibrant colors in their photos. Fall weddings are also less crowded than summer, providing a more intimate experience.

Winter (December-February): Winter weddings are magical with the possibility of snow-capped mountains and cozy indoor venues. However, be prepared for colder temperatures and potential weather-related delays.

Spring (March-May): Spring brings blooming flowers and a fresh, crisp atmosphere, ideal for couples seeking a quieter wedding season. But, like winter, the weather can be unpredictable, so it’s important to have backup plans for outdoor ceremonies.

2. Find a Local Wedding Planner Who Knows the Area

Working with a wedding planner who has in-depth knowledge of Lake Tahoe’s venues, vendors, and logistics is invaluable. Local wedding planners can help you choose the best locations, recommend top-notch vendors, and handle any challenges that may arise during the planning process.

A local planner will also be familiar with the region's unique logistics, such as permits required for outdoor ceremonies or dealing with seasonal weather conditions. They can suggest creative alternatives if your original plan is affected by unpredictable weather or venue availability.

3. Select the Perfect Venue for Your Vision

Lake Tahoe offers a wide array of wedding venues, each with its own charm. From serene lakeside settings to grand mountain resorts, the venue you choose will significantly shape your wedding experience. Consider these popular options:

Lakeside Venues: Perfect for couples who dream of a ceremony with the crystal-clear waters of Lake Tahoe as their backdrop. Lakeside venues often offer breathtaking views, ideal for photos and intimate ceremonies.

Mountain Venues: For couples who want dramatic, panoramic views, mountain resorts or mountaintop ceremonies provide a stunning setting, especially at sunrise or sunset.

Resorts and Hotels: Luxury resorts like The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe, and Edgewood Tahoe offer all-inclusive wedding packages with top-tier service and amenities, making them great options for those seeking elegance and convenience.

Private Estates and Parks: If you're looking for a more secluded or rustic vibe, consider renting a private estate or having your ceremony in one of Lake Tahoe's picturesque parks.

4. Plan for the Weather

Lake Tahoe is known for its unpredictable weather, which can change quickly, especially in the mountains. This makes it crucial to have a solid backup plan in place. While outdoor weddings are stunning, always have a weather contingency plan if you’re planning an outdoor ceremony or reception.

Many venues offer indoor options in case of rain or snow, so make sure to ask about these when choosing your venue. You might also want to invest in cozy wedding accessories like blankets or shawls for colder months or fans for summer weddings.

5. Personalize Your Wedding Details

While Lake Tahoe offers spectacular natural beauty, you’ll still want to personalize your wedding to make it uniquely yours. Work with your wedding planner to incorporate personal touches, such as:

Custom Decor: Consider using local flowers, rustic wood elements, or décor inspired by the natural beauty of Lake Tahoe to tie everything together.

Local Vendors: Many Lake Tahoe-based vendors specialize in creating unique experiences that reflect the region’s charm. From local photographers who know the best spots for wedding photos to caterers who can offer a menu inspired by the area’s seasonal ingredients, incorporating local talent will make your celebration even more special.

Special Activities: Lake Tahoe is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Why not offer your guests a ski or hiking outing before or after the wedding? A local wedding planner can help organize group activities such as boat tours, wine tastings, or even a cozy bonfire to extend the wedding experience.

6. Consider Your Guests’ Travel and Accommodations

Since Lake Tahoe is a popular destination, it's important to consider the travel and accommodation needs of your guests. Be sure to provide ample options for lodging, from luxury resorts to cozy cabins, to ensure your guests can comfortably attend your wedding.

Transportation: If your wedding venue is remote, consider arranging shuttle services or offering transportation options for your guests to and from the venue.

Guest Activities: Because Lake Tahoe offers so much to explore, consider planning group activities for guests who may be coming from out of town. Skiing, hiking, or even wine tasting are great ways for guests to enjoy the area while celebrating your special day.

7. Keep Your Budget in Check

Lake Tahoe offers both luxurious and more affordable wedding options, but it's easy to go over budget if you don’t keep track of expenses. A wedding planner will help you stay within your budget by providing realistic estimates and recommending cost-effective alternatives without sacrificing quality.

Be sure to account for hidden costs like transportation, permits for outdoor weddings, or additional fees for extra guests. Understanding all the potential costs upfront will help you make informed decisions and avoid surprises later on.

8. Hire Trusted Vendors

From florists to photographers, hiring trusted, reliable vendors is essential to making your wedding day run smoothly. A good wedding planner will have a list of preferred vendors who are familiar with the area and can deliver high-quality services. Make sure to book vendors early, especially if you're planning a wedding during peak season, as they can fill up quickly.

Conclusion

Planning a wedding in Lake Tahoe is an exciting adventure that allows you to create a memorable celebration in one of the most beautiful places on earth. With careful planning, expert advice, and the help of experienced wedding planners, you can ensure that every detail is taken care of, leaving you free to enjoy your special day. By choosing the right time of year, working with a local wedding planner, selecting a venue that matches your style, and keeping your guests’ needs in mind, you’ll be able to craft the wedding of your dreams in Lake Tahoe.

Getting married this week babes ✨️✨️🎉🎉🎊🎊

[fwanxi]

kento isn’t much of a talker.

whenever you come home from work, he’d always be there on the couch, spreading his arms to as a welcoming gesture.

laying on his chest, you then talk about your day, what annoyed you, and the latest gossips in your workplace.

“i just don’t know why would she do that, you know?”

and kento just grumbles, his way of agreeing with you, too focused on looking at your features.

“then, get this! she still took him b—” you cut yourself off, he looks uninterested.

were you talking too much..?

“why’d you stop, sweetheart? continue, what did she do?” kento says, snapping you out of your haze.

“she still took him back! the amount of advice that i gave her, she didn’t even apply any of those!” you huffed in annoyance.

kento hums, “it’s on her if she gets hurt again, sweets.”

“ugh, i don’t care about her anymore.”

kento was still scanning your face, his thumb caressing your cheekbones.

“i missed you, ken.”

“i missed you more, my love.”

you slowly move to kiss him, his hold on you tightening.

“i love you.” he mumbled in between kisses.

“i love you, too, kento.”

he slowly sits up to stand, with you still on his arms.

“don’t drop me, ‘kay?”

he chuckles, you snuggle your head on his neck and gave it little pecks.

“do you ever get tired of me yapping?” you asked him.

“hearing your voice puts me at ease, i find comfort when we’re like this. i love when you talk, sweetheart. i may look uninterested with everything that you talk about but i’m really not, i’m most likely just distracted by your gorgeous face.” kento mutters as he opens the door to your shared bedroom.

“oh my god, kento.”

“yes, love?”

“i need to wife you up.”

“hm, we’re gonna need to plan another wedding then, huh?” he chortles.

kento isn’t much of a talker, but he can be a little chatty when it comes to you.
