@kyogres@cljack Hahaha my MIL made our cake. She has been making great cake for decades and even she had a moment of - but I cant make it look.... WE WANT TO EAT IT!!!!
@MarieIsOnHiatus@alyssaleann Good luck! We had more than 100 guests, alcohol etc. But entirely agree w the principle above, entirely forego elementsyou dont care about (e.g. cars, videography, favours, pre/post events). Also, have great guests 👌 The ppl at ours wouldve said it was lovely whatever happened
@fountaingirll@MOKEarlyYears Im not always delighted when the small ppl are in our bed & comfort is forsook & theres heads & feet squished against me... but sometimes I lie there with an achey back kind of grinning about how tiny gorgeous ppl made of love can exist at all nevermind be in max comfort w me
@DogPlayingPiano@musestoomuch Dunno.... but anecdotally i do think one's marriage is reinforced (for better or worse i guess) if it's surrounded by other marriages. Less pressure to be perfect, more pressure to try n stick it out
@yvessirae Yep my relatively new bf stepped uppp when my dad was suddenly hospitalised, they'd met once at that stage I think.... now husband and father of my kids, shocker.
@maira4yo Haaa we went out w one set of keys once and i lost them and he left me and kids w family and got a ladder and went in through the bathroom window and then i looked in my other pocket 😬 There was no rage but i wouldnt say he was delighted w me.
@c137tparker @IT_unhinged Yess. You are a better potential partner (not a better human) now. It might all come good and it might not, a lot of love is luck. But building small connections, overcoming nervousness & ego, being someone who tries, & someone who has life experience, these are useful muscles
@thegenesisbl0ck Looks and weight? Or muscle/skeleton, and pelvic floor? Hair? Digestion? Hormones and brain?Pregnancy and birth vs MOTHERHOOD? Lots of potential changes and women aren't all the same.
@TheEbonyMaw Althoooo I've just remembered I DID this to someone. My first real boyf. He asked me out when we were maybe 14 or 15 and didn't confirm and I got weird and nervous and didn't show up and we ignored each other for a couple of YEARS and then got together 🤣
@rayengroves I recently carried daughter against her will, inc. upside down, wriggling, bawling, basically a cat. I do think it could've been avoided if I'd been more on the ball re heat, hunger...but also there comes a point where physicality does win out 😒🤷♀️
@ladies4pd@jmrphy I think the discourse on all this is different in US to UK. They (US) seem to see it differently to us (UK). I married and had children with (imho) a great man after 30, as did many of my peers. Independence/education wasn't a deterrent for the men we wanted
