Happy cake day!

Thanks for sharing, seems like a nice project.

Sounds great, happy to hear your shoulder is recovered!

On my side, things are good, as always trying to animate “casual” communities on Lemmy such as this one and the ones in the sidebar. Good to see people in this one, it’s mostly a chill place

Hello! How is your shoulder doing? Do you still swim?

Welcome!

Thanks! I heard about it before, but I wasn’t completely sure it was working as most of the communities seemed “in progress”

Also having people commenting is a way to show familiar nicknames :)

Reddthat disabled downvotes too

Thanks for sharing

Seems a bit crazy to me too

Thank you, very interesting data indeed!

Sounds nice!

Thank you for your comment, very interesting.

We have definitely been thinking about having two parties on each of our sides, that might be an option.

You definitely have a good point about that day being about the couple and not the other people. One of my friend got a nice sum of money from his future in-laws to finance the wedding, but then had to compromise on a few things to make them happy.

Your wedding seems to have been a great day.

I definitely get the commitment aspect, but as I said, the main issues for us is having people taking planes to come where we live for the wedding. We both have large families, and it would be nice to have them around for that day, which makes the whole thing a logistical challenge.

What we might do is two smaller scales celebration on each of our sides.

If I stay with my current SO (which I hope), we probably won’t do the one big day. Families come from two different countries, we live in a third, it would be a logistic headache, and we want to avoid to have to leave people behind.

Besides that, I’ve also noticed in my friends circles that less and less people are getting married (like 1 out of 10 more or less), mostly because people prefer to get houses first and those are quite hard to obtain. Also the prices of those things is quite high, I’ve seen weddings from 30k to 60k euros.

Hello,

May I ask where you live? I was in the US some time back and noticed the same thing as you.

Interesting, I didn’t think much about it because it relies on Email, you made me want to give it a try
