So, "Letting People Know What They're Setting Up For" seems to be the theme of the 2022 Wedding Season. I just told you guys about a coupe letting guest RSVP their nuptials and then letting them know about the price tag of their dinner HERE. Now, I am bringing you this.
I understand accidentally yet carelessly serving food that may trigger nut allergies or dairy intolerances. You may not know the dietary issues of all your guests.
But serving cannabis-filled meals is a level of carelessness that has to be punished. I don't care if every guest there indulges in marijuana, this is still a problem.
Did you know some people have allergies to certain strains of weed?
And what there is somebody there who eats edible candies on occasion?
Is marijuana legal in the state?
And who told you everyone indulged in THC?
Yeah, the bride & caterer drugged the guests. The bride probably had to spend part of her newly married time in handcuffs. Sometimes a little common sense thinking helps a long way. Actually, (not to vice shame anyone) a little sober common sense thinking will assist people a lot further.
I hope I wasn't rude about the QCCs on the video. But I don't argue or have negative discussions about religion on this platform or in life in general. Mankind has free will to believe in whatever helps them to be good citizens of the world. Also, I like Love & Positivity. So, you can send those things I like to C.OUT.SPOKEN.DIVA@gmail.com.
HERE is the story this post will be referencing. You're invited to the wedding & after you RSVP, the bride thanks you & then ask you to pay for your dinner at her wedding. Oh, dinner is $75 PER PLATE.
I have a few thoughts.
It is Tacky to ask anyone to pay for a meal After you have them RSVP. Maybe those involved in planning this event are ignorant of what an RSVP is for. It is tasteless to have people reserve a spot and not tell them there is a price tag after the fact. No matter the price tag, I would nicely tell the bride to cancel my RSVP because of that deception.
If people are paying, they are no longer Your Guest, they are Your Audience & their opinions & expectations will have to count. In my family, there is a saying that is said while planning weddings, "If You Ain't Paying, You Ain't Saying". I never complain about wedding food at the wedding.
Trust me sometimes the meal is hit or miss. I've even had a wedding cake that was not baked fully. But I didn't pay for it. But if I do...I might Boo loudly if the plate is not up to snuff.
At some point, we have to have what we want & want what we have. This couple saw the plate price & knew it was not in their budget. Let's tell the truth society has sold people on these dreams of these lush weddings that come at a hefty price. I wish people would buck society and be realistic. And if they have any guests with complaints or opinions about what is not at or done at their nuptials, they can borrow my family quote from point number 2.
Matter of fact that is how I will ease out of this post. Because nobody invited me & tell me how much for a plate. But do let this be a warning to anyone wanting to invite me to their future union of matrimony.
This post is brought to you by an interview of a castmate of the show, Ready to Love, the Potomac season. There was an incident where a male castmate touched a part of a female castmate's body inappropriately (HERE is a clip). The guy left the show. Some leaked text messages came out and the guy has an interview with a vlogger to talk about his side of the incident. (Watch it HERE) IMO, had he had only a 25 - 30 minute chat, this post wouldn't be typed. But the guy kept talking and one of the things he said was that he apologized to the lady but she acted like it was not enough and continued to be very hurt.
The man's feelings about the woman's reaction to his apology are not uncommon, unfortunately.
I'll never understand why apologizers think Forgiveness is automatic. Find me the rule, statute, or ordinance that says one has to. There is a popular quote by Marianne Williamson that says "Unforgiveness is like drinking poison yourself and waiting for the other person to die". I agree wholeheartedly with this quote. But it is for people who are not forgiving at all. It's not saying for anyone who is or will do the recovery work on the road to forgiveness. And it does not shy away from the fact that some people will choose to die from the toxins of not forgiving people that wrong them. So, if a person gives a genuine & honest apology it is not on them to say how & when they're forgiven by another human. That onus is on the forgiver. But in my opinion, most times individuals that feel that one should forgive them & move past immediately, aren't truly regretful for their wrong actions. Sometimes forgiveness is a feat. There are some hurts that sting for a moment and the healing may take some time. Stop rushing folks along so that one can be let off the hook.
Ok first things first, I slipped up on the video. I forgot to say Greetings & Salutations at the beginning. So before any of you get in the comments, I Know. Ok! Time to give some advice.
Q: Hi I'm a graduating senior in high school. I've been accepted to 4 colleges and have selected the one I will be attending. I have not told my friends because they feel you don't have to go to college to be successful. How do I tell them I am going to school because what I want to do in life needs a degree? And can you not do this one on video, please?
A: First I would like to give you a Congratulations on your accomplishments. Very good job. As for how to tell your friend that you will be going to college, I will talk to you as if I were talking to a senior in high school version of myself.
1. Start believing this statement, "If I have to hide the real me to hang around them, these are not the people I need to hang with.
2. At least a month before you leave, you need to tell your friends your truth and stand in it and accept their reaction. They should understand that this is your life. If they don't, remember that you will meet new people in college.
3. And Stop Hiding The Real You.
Hope This Helps. And again Congratulations!!!
