Mountain wedding help?

2024.05.19 17:15 butch_tits Mountain wedding help?

Please help! I’m going to my best friend’s evening time, super outdoorsy wedding at the end of September in the mountains of North Carolina. The dress code is listed as semi-formal, but then also says the vibe is that “the bride is wearing Birkenstocks.”
On top of my confusion with that, I have also recently lost about 60 pounds, and I expect I’ll lose a bit more before September rolls around. I’m still plus-size, and teeter between 14/16 at the moment. I am still incredibly self-conscious, especially about my arms, and I am very, very busty (H cups hooray 🙄) I just want to find something that I will be comfortable in and be able to stay warm in throughout the night. Maybe long sleeves? Either way, with how the dress code is described, I really don’t know where to start. Does anybody have any suggestions or places to look?

2024.05.19 16:45 breathtaeker The drama BEFORE, DURING, & AFTER the wedding.

Hi Charlotte! Been wanting to post this but don't know which subreddit, but now that you're here, I can finally share it! love you, girl! It's a bit long, so please prepare yourself.
This was my cousin's (M28 - let's call him J) wedding, and I can confidently say it was shtshow from the start to the end. This story was mostly told by my mom, other cousins, and aunt. I was only able to witness what happened during the wedding itself.
BEFORE THE WEDDING
My cousin and his wife - then girlfriend (F28 - let's call her K) found out they were pregnant around early 2022, and J's MIL instantly wanted them to get married. In the beginning, the couple was hesitant because 1) they didn't have the funds & a wedding can be expensive af and 2) they wanted to prepare for the delivery of their child.
My uncle & aunt (his parent) were supportive of whatever decision they made but said preparing for the baby was more practical in their situation. MIL didn't budge and since the K followed whatever MIL said and J doesn't have a backbone lol they started planning for the wedding. Yall know where they're getting the money for the wedding? Well, MIL said to loan $4,000 from her for the wedding and told my uncle that he should be the one contributing to the wedding since J couldn't afford it, my aunt didn't want to as they had a lot on their plate already, but since my uncle is such a great guy he accepted it.
BUT THEN, my uncle's father suddenly passed away and he had to shoulder every expense for that funeral and other expenses related to my uncle's dad. It was a lot of money, and because they were grieving the wedding had to be postponed to mid-2023. I heard that MIL was so pissed at this decision and demanded to continue with the wedding and was actually fighting for it to happen, but my aunt put her foot down and said NO, and that someone very important in their family had just passed away, and that should be respected.
Fast forward to the arrival of the baby, yall MIL refused for J and K to live together because they weren't married yet, even though they already had a baby! and since K lives with MIL, nobody could protest so J had to travel 3 hrs from his parent's house to MIL's house every weekend just to be with his baby. J's sister said that it was so awkward whenever my uncle, aunt, and J's siblings would come over to MIL's house to see the baby. There was obvious tension between my aunt and MIL, cause MIL was an arrogant woman but my aunt was a feisty one lol
When the wedding planning started MIL was annoyingly involved in everything, that woman even demanded that my uncle pay for her dress and he said yes. He was actually the one who spent more money on that wedding than anyone else. My aunt obviously didn't like the fact that uncle was spending A LOT of money on this wedding, but we all knew why he kept doing it. MIL would sometimes be passive-aggressive by saying that my cousin's family can't afford this and that, so uncle had to step up and prove that they can. It was kind of immature, but who am I to judge? Anyway, this kept going until the wedding, we're not sure how much my uncle spent but it was a lot based on my aunt.
THE WEDDING A lot of us already expected something ridiculous would happen. This wedding was an all-expense paid trip for all the guests, where all of us would stay in this resort and the reception was being held in, which was also paid for by my uncle.
Now, let me list the drama that happened. A lot more probably happened but these were what stuck with me; 1. J's family had to pick up K's family at their house, including MIL. So they can all travel together. When they got there, everyone waited for them in the van except for J who personally got out to meet and greet the K's family. You guys, MIL was pissed at this because she expected everyone to get out of the van and greet HER inside the house as if she was a queen or something. We later found out about this after the wedding when MIL complained to K and demanded an apology from my aunt. my god. 2. During the reception, MIL, MIL's friends, my aunt, and other aunts were sitting at one table. MIL basically ignored my aunts' existence. There was a big bowl of food on the table and MIL openly and loudly offered it to her friends basically giving the bowl to them who were next to my aunt and then skipping past my aunt to offer it to another table. 3. When the food came out, it was so limited. The staff was even sorry about it, saying that they were told to basically give as little food as possible. We were told we could come back to get more food since it was a buffet, but when we were about to stand up to get more, we saw MIL barking orders to the staff TO HIDE THE FOOD UNDER THE TABLE. The staff was hesitant but since MIL paid for the food they couldn't really do anything. 4. My uncle saw what MIL was doing and immediately started gathering food for those that haven't eaten yet. MIL saw this happening and got very offended. We also learned after the wedding that MIL told this to K and demanded another apology from my uncle. 5. In our country, we have a tradition where during the couple's first dance everyone can give their money gift during the dance. Let's just say, that they collected a lot of money during that time, and MOH was assigned to collect it and put it in the bride's purse. I kid you not, once the MOH put the purse on the table, MIL swiftly snatched that purse as if her life depended on it.
These were the topics during and after the wedding because everyone was appalled by how MIL was acting.
AFTER THE WEDDING Now, everyone thought that it was over, but nope it wasn't. After the wedding, MIL complained to K about how disrespectful our side of the family was especially with what my uncle did in scenarios 1 & 4, and immediately demanded an apology from both my uncle and aunt. Of course, K talked to J about it and agreed to MIL, J then proceeded to text my aunt all this and demanded an apology. Hurt and offended, my aunt said no, and they argued about it, saying that our family has nothing to apologize for and MIL is very rude. K saw the messages and started arguing with J, ultimately, they couldn't get my aunt to apologize so K proceeded to kick J out of MIL's house until they received an apology.
My cousin is now back in his parent's house, still arguing with my aunt to apologize while begging his wife to see his child because K basically ghosted him and refused to let him see the baby until our aunt and uncle apologized.
Everyone in the family is pissed at K and her mom. We all feel awful for our uncle because he spent so much money on the wedding just for K and her family to block him everywhere. The last time he was able to reach out to K was when he begged her to see his granddaughter, the biatch never responded and just blocked him. He didn't deserve that disrespect, and I'd love to slap some senses on J with how he's handling this.
To K and her mom, eat shit.

2024.05.19 16:40 FutureQuirky1427 Seeing an ex's hotter new girlfriend

I was seeing this guy who was a bit out of my league last year for 3ish months. I'm pretty, but I'm not white. I'm funny, smart, educated, stylish, interesting. He is very well educated and well dressed and successful - we're both top 3 college, top finance job, etc. He's very tall and handsome too. He had mentioned to me many times while seeing each other hes very picky, hes into thinner women, and likes blue eyes.
I felt sort of honored because he chose to keep seeing me with all these criteria. (he had more). He complimented me a lot on physical and other attributes so I felt very confident with him.
However, I was also on medication those couple months that made me gain maybe 10lbs of water weight so my shoulders, arms, waist, legs were all noticeably puffier than normal. He never saw my normal. I got off the meds after we broke up.
He was always happy to see me about once a week for 3-4 months - he'd plan us a date and dress up all fancy and have me help him choose an outfit to match mine, he'd hold me so close wherever we went, couldn't let go of me in public. We'd stare into each other's eyes with love and I'd never felt so close to someone. He'd call me intimidatingly beautiful and he'd say he liked me.
He'd only take me out for 1 drink every time though, in his neighborhood, and we'd return back to his to sleep over, and he'd leave in the morning for work and not text for 3 days after. We'd text a lot of volume, but he'd only reply to my chunk of texts once every 24h or so saying he was a bad texter. I tried to get him to hang out on weekends or meet my friends once, and he was a bit dodgy.
Our last date we returned home - he carried me up his building's stairs and we almost went inside but he made it a point to avoid his friends b/c they were downstairs. So we entered to avoid his friends. I felt a bit off. I finally asked him what we are, b/c I was anxious, and he seemed so stressed and was like, "ah thats been on my mind recently too...what are we doing....I'm just truly not ready for a serious relationship since my ex, I can't even THINK about them right now" and I basically ran out crying and I've been broken over it every day since because I really loved and wanted him.
Well fast forward to now, I realize that 2 months after we broke up he had a new girlfriend hard launch him.
It shocked me to my core because 1. she looked like an IG model - gorgeous, blonde, blue eyes, stick skinny. And 2. Just the fact that he told me to my face he wasn't ready and then suddenly was someone's boyfriend, taking her home to his parents, I really trusted him with everything, and this broke me deeply. She posts them all the time together all over each other - on his lap everywhere, I would've died to spend time with him at their family home. I have been crying and panicking nonstop since finding out. I feel so ugly.
1. Do you have any advice to help me with this situation? I know he doesn't think of me or care, so I shouldn't, but I can't stop myself from wanting to scream and ask him why the hell he lied to me and if it was all fake between us.
2. How can I feel better about my weight? I normally am almost as skinny as his new girl, but I was really just super bloated and chubby when I was with him. I really want him to have seen the "normal real" me, with thin waist, abs, etc. I know that's so stupid, but I wake up every day upset about it. And I've been losing a lot of weight, and instead of being happy about it I just have a panic attack about him not having seen it.

2024.05.19 16:38 Curious-Tomato-3639 Anniversary reshoot?

Has anyone done a wedding reshoot? I had my wedding a few months ago, and am having some regrets on photos, especially now after attending a few other friends weddings. I didn't love my wedding dress, my photographers didn't get great shots, I wasn't aware of how to smile so that my eyes didn't look tiny, things like that. I don't regret the day or the wedding, just want that stunning shot to be able to put on the wall, or look back on and feel beautiful.
Our wedding was in February, but I was thinking of doing a warmer weather reshoot with a different white dress (or a few different ones). Maybe one with a long veil to make it bridal. Is this too extra? Would it better to wait until next year or just go ahead and do it this summer?

2024.05.19 16:34 daysof_I How could I(28f) save a falling out with my bestfriend(28f) of 13yrs?

I(28f) have been best friends with 3 girls (all 28f) since 15. We're really close since high school and despite me studying abroad for college for a year, and now one of us works overseas, we're still pretty tight until recently.
One of us is getting married at the end of this year. I used to be a lot closer with the one who now works overseas, but since she went abroad 2 years ago, I've been much closer with the one about to get married. Obviously I know she's stressed about all her wedding planning. But recently, I feel that she's very dismissive about a lot of things outside of her. When I told her about my work problems, mostly how my clients kept changing their design and drove me crazy, she looked so disinterested and gave one word response before switching back to talking about her in-laws who don't want to follow her wedding dress code.
There was one night where she called me to complain about similar things about her wedding, and I was fully on her side wanting to support her. When she was done venting (complete with me agreeing and giving feedbacks btw), or at least I thought she was done, I started talking about my problematic relative too that recently caused drama in my family. She completely zoned out and didn't respond. I thought she hung up and had to multiple times asked her if she's still there and she just kept saying "yea sure".
Just now I shared in the group chat about this guy (33m) I matched on bumble seemed creepy. We had a nice talk and all until he asked me if I'm on ig, and gave me his instagram cause he said he's not on the app a lot. I had not given him my ig, but I got a request from someone reacting on my recent story; it was his account. Came to find out, this guy's been following and DM-ing me since August last year, been reacting and replying my stories a lot. I never knew cause he's one of 20 ish other requests I never checked. Of course now I'm a bit creeped out cause I never put my socials on dating app. And the fact that this guy asked me what I do when he'd replied my story about my work some time in January, or asked where I'm from when he'd replied my story when I ate at a restaurant here back in Dec, giving me other food recs around it; like the whole thing was just so bizarre and creeped me out. Our other 2 friends agreed with me this is creepy behavior, but my bride friend said "you're being too sensitive right now cause you're on your period. He's just shy, give him a chance. He can't tell you he's been stalking you now can he? Lol that sounds way creepier". Woman to woman, how tf do you pull "on your period" card?
When we called our friend overseas to catch up, same thing happened. She told us she just broke up last month and how hard it's been for her to not think about him or text him. Our bride friend here literally told her "then don't think about it." Great advice really, especially to someone who just said she can't help thinking about it a second ago. Of course our friend overseas lashed out, and said the wrong things like "you've never really been heartbroken from love so don't tell me how to feel, you don't know what pain from love feels", to a woman who's about to get married. Which then led to our bride friend complaining to me saying our friend overseas is being too sensitive about everything. Imo, both of them were a b**h to each other, and I told them both the same thing. Bride didn't think she was, said she was just trying to help.
I get that she's stressed about the wedding and has problems with her in-laws. But does she need to dismiss all our problems like that? Now I'm not gonna tell her anything about my life anymore until her wedding is over. I'll just support her when she needs to vent. But if I start doing that, it means our friendship will be one sided. I'm not sure that's the kind of friendship I wanna have for long. What should I do to save this friendship? Is she right? Am I being too sensitive about it all and should put the focus more on her since this year is a big year for her?

2024.05.19 16:22 Shadowqueen7 AITA for "Ruining" My Friend's Wedding Because I Refused to Be Her Human Chandelier?

Okay, buckle up, because this one's wild. The OP in this story is my cousin and I'm writing on her behalf but I'm be writing in first person's pov so that it'll be easier to read for you guys.
So, my friend—let's call her Karen, because, well, it fits—was getting married. Now, Karen has always been a bit extra, but we never knew the extent until she started planning her wedding.
Karen decided she wanted a "fairy tale" wedding, and by fairy tale, she meant she wanted to recreate that scene from Beauty and the Beast where Belle dances in that grand ballroom with all those fancy chandeliers. But instead of just having regular chandeliers, Karen wanted living chandeliers. Yes, you read that right—living, breathing humans dangling from the ceiling, holding candles.
Now, when Karen excitedly told me about her plan, I thought she was joking. But nope, she was dead serious. She wanted me and a few other friends to dress up as chandeliers and hang from the ceiling for the entire reception. I mean, talk about a bizarre request!
I politely declined, telling her that I didn't feel comfortable being suspended from the ceiling for hours on end. Plus, I'm not exactly a contortionist, so I wasn't sure how I was supposed to pull off the whole "chandelier" look. Karen was not happy with my refusal. She accused me of not being a supportive friend and said I was ruining her dream wedding.
Fast forward to the wedding day. I showed up wearing a nice dress, ready to support Karen despite our disagreement. But when I walked into the reception hall, I was greeted by the sight of my friends hanging from the ceiling like something out of a horror movie. Karen had managed to find a few people willing to go along with her crazy idea, but it was clear they were all incredibly uncomfortable.
Throughout the night, Karen kept shooting me dirty looks and making passive-aggressive comments about how I was the only one who refused to participate in her vision. She even made a point of telling everyone at the wedding that I was the reason her dream wedding wasn't "perfect."
At one point, Karen's makeshift human chandelier started swaying precariously, and one of the poor souls hanging from the ceiling nearly fell. That's when I decided enough was enough. I stood up and publicly called out Karen for putting her friends in such a ridiculous and dangerous situation.
Long story short, Karen and I got into a heated argument in the middle of her wedding reception, and I ended up storming out. She later texted me, saying I had ruined her special day and that she never wanted to speak to me again.
So, Reddit, AITA for refusing to be my friend's human chandelier and then calling her out on her insanity at her own wedding?

2024.05.19 16:17 Skyward_Flight_11 What to wear to an Indian Wedding

(30F) My husband's Indian, non-member friend is getting married in August, and we are invited to the ceremony which will take place in a Hindu temple. I want to be culturally appropriate and respectful, but I also want to wear something that is garment-friendly. Anyone have experience with this crossing of cultures?
The invitation says, for the wedding ceremony for women, "a sari, a lehenga set, a salwar suit, etc." Based on some quick googling, it looks like a salwar suit might be my best bet? There is also a reception later that night where the dress code says " dresses, saris, ghagras, or something similar. Anything you would wear to a night out!" Does that mean the salwar suit would NOT be a good choice for the reception? Ideally, if I'm going to buy a new outfit for this wedding, I would like to wear it all day to get the most use out of it.
Sorry this is weirdly specific! I have zero experience with this culture. Any insight would be appreciated!

2024.05.19 16:13 Veggie_Supreme813 How to get the rings to the alter?

Hello lovelies! We opted out of a wedding party for our ceremony. So no maid of honor, best man or ring bearer. So now I'm wondering how we get the rings down the aisle to the alter (we're getting married in a church). Should my fiance just put them in his pocket for the both of us? Something else?
PS... wish my dress had pockets! PPS... ibjockedbthat o should get a bridal fanny pack PPPS... I also joked I should stick the ring in my cleavage!

2024.05.19 16:02 klynrenee Saw Luann’s Show

Saw Luann’s show over the weekend. She’s honestly in great shape and looked wonderful.
She was late coming out but then came out with her three piece band and started with a FMK song. During the song, it showed different magazine covers for divorces/splits/cheating scandals mixed in with clips of the show (not about Tom, her arrest video, naked guy in the living room after legacy, etc). She would sing a song, go over to her piano player, glance at the setlist, then either play a clip of old RHONY or tell a joke, before playing a different song. She played several covers and would forget what verse was next - her piano player had to cue her in a lot of times.
It was her birthday so they brought out a little birthday cake and everyone sang. She seemed really appreciative. There wasn’t much audience interaction, aside from a short FMK with the audience. She did say she would F Sandoval because “he’s so hot” and then she didn’t know Jax and Swartz but would marry Jax until the audience booed and she changed her answer lol. 3 or 4 audience members asked her three options, then she had pre selected options and asked the audience. I was hoping someone would ask about Joe Bradley but no one did - instead it was more like, Jason Hoppy, Mario Singer, and Harry Hubin. Three Dallas housewives were there and two played along, too. Leeann said she would kill them all and bury them in the backyard. Cary looked confused at her selections and the mic guy had to help her answer. They were all loving the attention and seemed happy to take pics with people who asked.
She didn’t play Jovani live, but did play the music video while she did an outfit change. Her last song was Money Can’t Buy You Class while wearing a wedding dress. You could tell the audience was really confused why she didn’t play Jovani live - lots of people around me had their phones out ready to record.
While leaving, I overheard a lot of mixed feedback. A lot of comments about how she didn’t mention any housewives tea, it seemed short, and they wished there was a Q&A session. But then also a lot of comments about how great of an entertainer she was and how much fun they had.

2024.05.19 15:18 microwaved_ice_cream [REVIEW] Back from Ban Island!! Loewe Flamenco Mini in Burgundy + Gold from Hyper Peter

Hello Ladies and Gents, it’s been a while since I’ve been active in Rep-land but I am happy to be putting words back on print with a mini review for a mini bag! I have a few weddings to attend to this coming summer so I knew I would need a handy sidekick to spruce up my looks. Naturally, the purse closet had nothing to wear (y’all know what I mean) so I turned to social media to look for inspiration and found this mini beauty from Loewe! My sister was in the market for a Loewe Puzzle and she wanted to get one from Hyper Peter, so I tacked on asking about my Flamenco. Thank goodness for my handy rolodex of rep resources, HP had both bags we wanted in stock!! A little bit of a wait due to HP being on much needed vacation, but in the end, he delivered and happy to report both bags are stunning!
About the author: I am a Loewe Lover through and though. The Puzzle has my heart and I’ve convinced my sister to get one for herself. We frequent the Loewe store often and it’s been a bad habit of mine trying on their bags. I always wanted this mini Lambskin baby so when the situation presented itself, I decided to go for it and buy at the same time as my sister! Been a replady since OG RL days but stepped a way from Reddit for a bit to put a cap on my spending habits (it was going a bit overboard especially when I started buying 18K reps…)
PHOTO TIME!!
My photos ❤️
HP does not usually disclose factory or factory pics and I didn’t ask but I know he has amazing Loewe Puzzles. Example 1 / Example 2
NO PSPs Opted out because I am an old time buyer of his.
~Authentic on Loewe website~ And this review was helpful too for details and mod shots! Also Purseblog’s 60 second review.
Disclosure: I didn’t receive a discount or anything in exchange for this review
Seller: Hyper Peter
Whatsapp: +44-774-303-8638
Instagram: Hyperpeter7
Product: Loewe Flamenco Mini in Nappa Lambskin
Price: 1300 yuan plus 480 yuan (for shipping 2 bags) Fedex shipping no branded Loewe box total 1540 yuan or $213 usd
Paid by: Wise
Timeline:
⏳ Messaged Peter and paid on April 3
⏳ Confirmed with Peter that the bags are available April 3-4
⏳ Opted out of the PSPs because of the additional charge, Peter showed me pictures of the actual bag he sells and I figured it would be similar enough to it.
⏳ May 14 received the bags, worth the wait in my opinion!!
QUALITY:
1. THIS LEATHER IS BUTTERY!!! I can’t express how supple and luscious this lambskin is in words! It is incredibly soft, zero hint of dryness, thick yet malleable. It actually looks and feels very very close to the auth Loewe Flamenco I fondled at the store, buttery AF!
2. The pouch shape is correct, with correct stitching on the base of the bag and the top section that bunches up randomly in buttery folds (hence the name of the bag because the ruffles mimic a Flamenco dancer’s dress!) that look both elegant and casual at the same time. The opening of the pouch is cinched at the top with two leather knotted drawstring straps which can be used as the handles for this bag (as a low key clutch), but as a security feature, there’s also a magnetic closure that seals the opening of the bag, perfect for keeping your goodies in the bag!
3. This bag has not 1 but 2 straps! A beautiful “donut” ring strap with interwoven leather in alternate lacing and the second strap is an adjustable leather cinch strap that slides long and short depending on whether you want to use it as a shoulder bag or cross body!
4. The only other hardware of the bag is in the snap clasps which are nicely weighted and match the yellow gold tone of the donut chain. All function as needed.
ACCURACY:
1. Here are the dimensions of the auth Mini Flamenco: – Weight: 0.18 kg , Height : 17 cm ,Width : 23 cm , Depth : 5.5 cm. Admitedly I don’t have a scale so can’t weigh this bag myself but obviously for it’s size it’s very light. Here’s what I got for my measurements: Height : 17 cm, Width : 24 cm, Depth : 5 cm. I’d say this is a good match for the dimensions.
2. The first strap, the leather knotted version is removable and adjustable with a minimum length of 82 cm and max of 142 cm. The donut chain strap is 36 cm for mine.
3. The Donut strap gold tone is yellow, perhaps a touch more yellow than auth, but the luster and gloss is correct, it also is very dependent on lighting so I am not docking points off this because it’s verry hard to judge if you don’t have the auth next to it.
4. The shape, engravings and weight of the hardware are a good likeness for the auth. The snap hooks on the strap are the correct shape, have good functionality and are correctly branded with the Loewe logo.
5. Everything about the leather is just delicious. I can’t complain because I remember the auth being very similar in feel to the softness and density of this nappa lambskin. The burgundy shade is pretty much an exact match to the auth. The knotted drawstrings do not feel flimsy, the thickness and density are appreciated and even for a small bag, I don’t need to baby it.
6. The make/craftmanship of the bag is top notch. The suede lining is well lined, stitched well and no loose or faulty craftmanship anywhere. The pouch opening leather is well folded and stitched over.
7. I will deduct points for the thread being a shade too light compared to the auth. I am not too fussed about it but I did want to call that out for those who are concerned with the minute details. Taking one point off here.
8. Interior suede is thick, has good dense feeling and has a very nice texture. The interior datecode and logo match the auth well.
WFIMB:
Well this bag is teensy weensy, so other than my phone, a pack of issues, a cardholder, a compact and lipstick I am not really adding anything to it….I mean, what do you REALLY need at a wedding except for these few items?! A pack of gum or tictacs? Easy peasy, done deal. At any rate, whatever essentials you’d need for dressing up, this baby can handle it and that’s all you need in here anyways!
SATISFACTION:
I honestly didn’t expect to love this bag so much, but now I see any ladies love it and say it’s a good part of their collection. I was on the hunt for a small but practical bag, and with all the different ways this bag can be carried it’s quickly becoming a standout for any time I need a small elegant but functional bag for parties or nights out.
It’s my first burgundy colored bag (I was initially going to get the black) but I am glad I went for this pop of color. The burgundy is very deep, classy and understated in color but still pleasant to the eyes. I am not considering getting a puzzle in the dark burgundy as well just because this color is growing on me.
SELLER SATISFACTION:
Peter has always been one of my go to sellers. I know there have been many members who feel jilted that his communication has been few and far in between but I took the patient route and just waited for my bag to arrive (my order took over a month from start to finish, by the way). Perhaps it’s because I am a seasoned rep buyer and also a long time client of Peter’s so I was sure I would get my bag in the end. I find the best way to enjoy repping is to not stress over the small stuff and trust the process (and your gut of course). The mods here do an awesome job of guiding and advising when it comes to reviews and sellers so I knew that if I needed help, they’d have my back. But in all honesty, my bag arrived to me safely, my payment and ordering process were smooth sailing and the bag itself was certainly within my budget. For all these reasons and more, Peter will always have a top spot in my rep rolodex for reliable bags and service.
THE WRAP UP:
This bag is divine and being quite nonchalant about what others think or say, I would proudly wear this to any party or date night I go to. I would likely not flaunt it around my usual Loewe store (those SAs all recognize me) but I wouldn’t mind wearing it into a high end department store. My sister’s puzzle is absolutely accurate to the authentic though, I will help her write up a review for that one when I get a chance. I’d give Peter’s Loewe gold stars for the incredible value for the price!

2024.05.19 15:16 Bence978_ I went searching for my missing friend in the woods, I finally got revenge, but at what cost?

January 2nd. 2024.
It's been about a year since the incident happened. I've been in therapy for as long as I can remember after that horrible night. I got a prosthetic for my left leg, and was able to walk somewhat normally again shortly after. I haven't told anyone about that horrible night, not even my family. My friends, who were there at the start of all of this visited me every day while I was in the hospital, begging me to tell them what happened, but I lied, and told them I didn't remember anything. Little did they know, I not only crystal clearly remember what happend, I also knew what I was going to do as soon as I could walk normally again.
February 27th. 2024.
I could finally walk on my own again, and when I got released from the hospital, I immediately knew what I had to do. I rushed home and started planning. This time, I would plan it out, not just run in there and take my chance. I began planning the following day.
March 9th. 2024.
I've collected all my ideas, and decided that the hunt would be on March 15th. However, I knew I couldn't do this alone, seeing as what happend last time, so I decided to call my uncle, who is an ex-marine, and knows all the camoflauge techniques that a civilian does not. Lucky for my, he belives in all kinds of folklore, mainly native american ones, so he was down to help me. Hes the only person I told this story to, since I know I could trust him with my life. In the following days, he tought me all differnet kinds of techniques like camouflage in "plain sight" and the hand signals used in the marine corps. Only one thing remained, the weapons. Since the police confiscated all of my weapons after the last incident, I had nothing, but my uncle told me not to worry about it.
March 15th. 2024.
The day was here. The meetup was schedueld to 11pm, but I was already at the place where we said we'd meet up, even though it was 10 minutes earlier. When all of a sudden I heard that scream... That same blood curdling scream I heard way back. But I wasn't scared anymore. Shortly after my uncle shows up with full marine corps camouflage uniforms and plate carriers, along with two M4 Carbines loaded up with holographic sights, lasers, flashlights and all the above. He also brought an old winchester Model 1873, which he told me only to use if I'm certain that I'm about to shoot at the entity in question. He said because it was loaded with white ash tree rubbed bullets. He started saying something else too, but was cut off by that same horrible scream, so we quickly dressed up, and made our way into the woods.
March 15th. 2024. 11:10pm
We entered the forest with adrenalyn pumping in our bodies and quickly took position in an abandoned cabin a few hundred feet into the woods. we quickly shut the door behind us and began discussing the next hours.
11:30pm.
We were still discussing when we heard a knocking sound coming from the door. I shouted out "Who the hell is it?! What do you want?!" But it just kept knocking. My uncle knows morse code, and he translated that it said, "Your Blood" over and over again. Then it just stopped. Like the source of the noise just simply dissapeared. And after a few moments of eerie silence, a window broke in the room next to the on we were in, and something was running towards the door. My uncle instantly yelled, "Take cover!", so that's what I did. I ducked and heard his M4 go off on fully automatic. He popped off 20 rounds at the door and very likely hit something, since the anomaly let out a huge scream. My uncle grabbed me by my arm and pulled me up. Then we jumped out the window and took off running.
11:35pm.
We ran for about a mile when we deemed it safe to stop for a drink. When I sudenly noticed that the old Winchester my uncle gave me was missing, so I informed him immediately. He turned to me with a huge smile on his face. Then it hit me... I didn't have an uncle... The damn thing implanted itself in my memory.. A moment of sheer panic later it pulled out the gun and shot my prosthetic and I fell to the ground. I quickly reached for my M4 and let out a burst of fire towards it. I scored a hit to its thigh, and so it ran away.
12:00am.
I collected my thoughts, and somehow managed to get up. I realized I needed to get out of there as soon as possible. Only one problem, I had no idea of where the way out was. So I just started walking in a random direction. I lost track of time after this, since my watch had been ruined. After what felt like forever, I saw a light in the distance. As I got closer to it, I realized it was a huge bonfire, surrounded by a ton of theese entities. They were just standing there, it was almost mesmerizing in a way, how they stood perfectly still around the fire, but I knew I had to focus. I realized that I had a flare gun in my pocket, so I pulled it out and shot it up. This caused all of them to look at me, then dissapear. The fire went out and the flare was the only source of light in the entire forest. Then I heard something running towards me from the back.
12:00am+
I turned and saw one of theese things in all it's "glory" sprinting towards me on all fours. I shot all my bullets at it, which somehow caused it to drop dead. As I went closer to examine it, I was disgusted by the smell of it, it was like rotten flesh. I looked at the carcass and saw a huge pentagram on its back. So I backed off and started praying. I may be crazy, but I heard a voice say to me, "Go 88 steps forward, then 6 left". So I did just that, and saw a white ash tree, and I instantly knew what to do. I grabbed 30 bullets and rubbed every single one of them on the tree. Then something snapped inside me, I yelled up "Come and get me!" at the top of my lungs. And right away, several creatures started rushing towards me. 5 shots, 5 dead entities. But then I saw IT... The thing that started all of this. It wanted me dead. Then suddenly the flare died out. I quickly turned on my laser and flashlight, and the final battle had begun.
About 12:30am.
The entity took the form of my so called "uncle", and quickly ran in a bush. But I wasn't ready to let it slip away again. So I shot about 10 rounds into the bush, and it ran out of it. I took my chance, and with my remaining bullets, I shot it. It dropped and screamed in agony. I went up to it, and realized it had dropped that old Winchester, so I picked it up, and put a bullet in it's skull. And with that it was all over. At least I thought.
March 16th. 2024.
After I got home, I dropped, and fell asleep. When I woke up I decided that the best thing to do was go to church, since those things were most likely demonic. As soon as I entered the church the priest saw me, and fainted. I had to call an abulance for him. I heard he died later that day. The same day, I found out my entire family was killed in a horrible car accident. And so I realzed I had been cursed for life. Anyone who was considered my loved one had died in the following weeks, only I had remained. So in the end, I got revenge for my friend, but was it worth it?

2024.05.19 15:11 Narrow_Passenger_707 My boyfriend cheated on me with our Dean

Hi, this is my first time posting on Reddit. I just need to vent some frustration.
I'm currently attending a well-respected university. Our department is pretty small, with only around 1,000 students across all four years. My boyfriend (we've been together since first year, during online classes) is 22, and I'm 20. Building on what I mentioned, my boyfriend and our Dean (34F & a single mom) are family friends, but their friendship seems to have blossomed during the return to in-person classes. She, along with many others, knows my boyfriend and I are together. It's pretty common knowledge—I'm involved in a lot of student organizations and consistently make the dean's list, so many professors and students recognize me.
During face to face classes, After our 2 PM classes, my boyfriend would usually take me home. Sometimes we'd grab a date, but other days he'd just crash at my place for a nap then uuwi siya (at least, that's what I thought). Napapansin ko, palagi silang magka chat and he doesn’t even call her ma’am or miss, first name basis sila. At first, I just brushed it off. I mean, come on, she's way out of his league, age-wise, and super respected pa. But, lagi niya inuutusan si BF—utos dito, utos doon. He practically lives in her office na running errands like chauffeuring her around in her car or his. I tried to be cool about it, but the jealousy's creeping in. TAKE NOTE: he won’t let me open his phone or hold his phone pero okay lang sakin kasi sobrang tiwala naman ako sakanya.
Gaano sila ka close? For example:
It was a school break, so we barely saw each other. But it was our monthsary, and we'd planned this date for ages. I was so hyped, all dressed up, and we were having a great time until...he slams on the brakes and says our dean needs a ride. Apparently, she got into a small accident, and no one else can drive her car? Seriously? My heart sank. He ditched our date to chauffeur her around, and I ended up back at home, alone, in my fancy dress.
December (NEW YEAR) at 12 am: he told me matutulog na siya kasi lasing na daw. Turns out, a friend of mine spotted him smooching some chick at a bar. Sinend sakin yung video the next morning pero diko makita yung face ni girl kasi naka lean siya sa neck ni bf. I confronted him about it pero sabi niya someone daw na kilala niya dati. (Grabe siya mang gaslight, grabe siya mag sinungaling). Even before the New Year's Eve incident, there were red flags I ignored, marami na nagsasabi sakin na he’s up to no good but I used to think trusting people meant shutting out outside opinions, especially when they painted him in a bad light. I wanted to believe the best in him, even if he looked like a walking "fboy stereotype." Blind trust turned into heartbreak. This whole situation has been a wake-up call. My self-worth is important, and I can't let anyone walk all over me. So yeah, we broke up.
But last week ko lang nalaman, Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, his best friend throws another grenade into the situation. He confessed that my boyfriend manipulated me from the very beginning, and there was more to their "friendship" than meets the eye. After nya pala ako ihatid samin, he would go back to school to be with our dean. The woman he cheated on me with last December? Our freaking Dean. And get this - turns out there was already something going on between them even before that. I feel so betrayed, like everything he ever told me was a lie. It's disgusting. I’ve heard pa nga na they’re officially together na ngayon and ayaw daw ni Dean na lumalapit sakin si boy, or sumama even with our friends (we’re classmates btw). Medyo all out na rin sila sa relationship nila. The Dean's behavior is actually frankly concerning. She shows up at every off-campus basketball game, sitting on the player's bench and cheering him on, completely disregarding the professional boundaries. It's no wonder rumors are flying around our department na.
But yah, With her being the Dean, it terrifies me that my grades or academic standing could be affected by all this personal drama. I don't care about their relationship, I just want to focus on my studies and not have this mess spill over into my academic life.

2024.05.19 14:59 emerson-nosreme How do I phrase things better?

I keep making my mum upset because I phrase things really awfully and make it sound like I’m ungrateful.
Eg: a few minutes she offered to take me to the shops and get a new dress instead of reusing a dress I already have that needs mild repairs and cleaning for a wedding. I tried to say I wish she spoke to me earlier (the wedding is on Monday and I work full time) and that it would be easier and cheaper to just clean and repair it. She focused on the first bit (which I understood because I phrased it awfully) and is now upset with me. Won’t take explanations or apologies or anything from me. She won’t even look at me.
I’m leaving her be because there’s not much I can do at the moment but maybe there’s a way I can try and help or make her feel better? Namely just finding ways to sound less ungrateful. Explanations as to what would help from another mum would be lovely, please explain too. I have autism so I won’t get everything immediately.
