Edward and Bella's is not my fave, although iconic for so many other millenials. Ms. Geist and Mr. Hall from Clueless takes the top spot for me.

Important related point in the article, mort people are 18 months from their last vaccine. Most of the UK havent't recieved the newer bivalent vaccine (which has completely replaced the original vaccines in the US) at all.

Just started The End of Loneliness after giving up on my third attempt at Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring. Time to admit my love for fantasy novels in my early teens didn't follow me into adulthood.

Specific books I can remember: Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine. Daisy Jones and the Six. Tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow.

Generally, graphic novels and spicy novels help as a brain cleanser. Chick lit. Or a plotline that resonates and absolutely lovable characters.

 

I love that they had their wedding at home, planned in just a few short weeks.

 

Weddings, being a long standing tradition in many socities, come with lots of traditions with varying degrees of modern relevancy.

Do you have any favourite traditions from specific cultures? I personally am a big fan of the breaking a glass in Jewish weddings. I'm not Jewish, but it's symbolism has always resonated with me.

Made this for a super bowl party one year, and got so many compliments.

That sounds really fun! I'm glad you had a good time

I am so glad I live in a safe Labour seat so I can feel comfortable not voting for them next GE. Because they feel just like a version of the Tories from my voting lifetime (and I'm not super old) right now.

 

Personally I'm not a fan, but their engagement has been all over my socials this week, pushing out the Palvin-Sprouse wedding.

What do you think? Are celebrity weddings a fun thing to indulge in or are you above the push of influencers and celebs in any means possible to our screens?

Sounds great, how did you celebrate just the two of you?

It's just a prompt for the sub, so no worries the wedding is 100% authentic to ourselves and isn't just going to be whatever the wedding magazines say ;)

Also, as someone with an interest in design, I do notice the small things at weddings like trinkets, decor and small details and now with planning my own I am paying even more attention.

 

All the wedding advice I read mentions adding touches to keep your wedding personal to you. My partner and I have cats and have fostered cats in the past, so we're having little cat trinkets as decor, and I'm hoping I'll have a little budget for cutouts of our 2 cats to pass around at the photobooth and reception.

What are some personalised aspects of your life you're including at your wedding?

Ultimately with humans it's really time consuming to enact behavioural change. The rate of human behaviour change is slower than the rate of destruction of the planet (also individual human change is going to do diddly squat when McDonald's keeps McDonald'sing and the Kardashians keep travelling in their private jets)
