Weddings / Is This a Thing?
« on: January 17, 2023, 11:18:57 am »
Background:  My oldest niece (ON) will be getting married in October.  Her MOH was going to be a young woman with whom she's been friends since high school, Corrine.  Corrine was supposed to get married soon after ON but some health issues crept up with her fiance so her wedding is postponed indefinitely.  Corrine has been helping ON with the wedding planning all along.

When ON went to look for her gown she went to a small, local bridal shop and was told to only bring 3 people with her since the shop was so small.  ON invited her mother (SIL), my mother, and he younger sister (YN) who is also a bridesmaid.  She found a beautiful dress and posted it on her Facebook.  End background

Corrine called her in tears asking how she could exclude her from the dress shopping.  ON explained why she could only have had three people and that she would have liked to invite Corrine and me but space was limited so she invited only the three she was closest to.

Corrine's response was "Well, you never officially asked me to be a bridesmaid anyway so I won't be there".  ON questioned this because Corrine was involved in a lot of the planning.

Apparently, according to Corrine, you are supposed to give those you want as bridesmaids a "Bridesmaid's Box" to officially ask them to be a bridesmaid.  Corrine gave one of these to ON.  It was a fancy wrapped box full of trinkets and because ON did not give one to Corrine it made ON rude.

I had never heard of a Bridesmaid's Box.  Is this a real thing or something Corrine made on her own?

When we were teaching BeagleBoy about giving gifts we started with his grandmother.

I told him "Remember, Nanny is a grown up so we are not buying toys for her.  You need to choose something a grown up lady would like".  He chose a bottle of perfume.

Billy is the perfect age to be taught this.

I never put Christmas decorations up until after Thanksgiving.  It just doesn't feel right to put them up earlier and then you get sick of looking at them.

In most areas the Jeep would be considered abandoned and you can do with it what you choose.  You should check your local laws.

Since this is Zack's property I would send him a certified letter stating he has until a certain date to have the Jeep removed or you will have it removed yourself.

I have a Halloween wreath on my front door and we have a miniature Halloween village of all the classic movie monsters in our front window.

BeagleDaddy will carve some pumpkins for the front stoop.  We used to do a more elaborate set up but we're both too tired any more.


BD will watch movies and eat junk food but I have to work the next day so I'll go to bed.
