I’m going to sound whiney but I feel like one of my coaches doesn’t like me. I’ve been working out at f45 since January usually three times a week and just upped my classes to 4 days a week. Two resistance and two hybrid. This trainer coaches two of my classes each week. She’s a young coach and I always say hi to her when I cone to class because I’m usually one of the first people. She won’t say hi, sometimes I get a smile but then anyone after me she says a loud welcome to them. My other coaches go around and say good job “my name” I don’t think this coach knows my name and has never said anything positive towards me but will compliment my partner next to me.

Today’s hybrid work out we had pods and this coach didn’t explain the pods well or did the math right so me and my partner ended up at the wrong station multiple times and when I asked her about it she’s like “don’t worry you will get to each station.” But then we kept going in the wrong direction trying to follow the pod and she’s like you guys messed up idk how to help you.

I guess I’m just venting and wondering if anyone has had this happen with a coach. Unfortunately I can’t switch times, this works best for my schedule but it’s starting to bother me not because I need reassurance or her attention but I feel bad energy with her when it comes to me. How did you handle a coach like this?

Hey! My fiancé and I are doing a small intimate dinner party style reception with 35-40 people. We originally were looking at a private room/restaurant buy out but the cost even on a Thursday evening was a lot. We are very food focused people and the Gadsden house has what looks like to be a good menu—catered by King Street Hospitality group. Just wondering your thoughts if anyone has any opinions on this venue!

Hi everyone. Wanting a perspective for women who are planning or have planned a small wedding reception.

I’m 34F my fiancé is 40M who has been married before. We live in a high income area and wedding destination town so prices for wedding/receptions are higher than average. I also have a big extended family where he does not so when I did a guest list I didn’t feel it was fair to host a wedding with 80 of my family and only 20 of his. We also want to save for a house, have funds for when we start a family and go on a honeymoon before starting that family and if we would have had a big reception that wouldn’t be possible. Therefore, we are eloping in town sometime this year (need to get on his insurance) it will just be me and him, we will still get nice pictures, I will wear the dress and then after we will celebrate intimately.

Then next spring I’m planning on a 40 person intimate dinner. We are huge foodies and really care about good food and giving our guests a great food experience which isn’t always possible with a big wedding. But part of me is like, is this lame? I originally wanted to hire a band or jazz trio but would 40 people even want to dance at a dinner celebration? I feel like I’m sacrificing the reception of my dreams to be practical. Could we afford a $40k wedding/reception? Maybe. But is it smart for our goals? No. And also we won’t be receiving outside help from parents either.

I’m so scared of regretting not having the traditional reception I wanted. I would love some reassurance of brides who have gone through this and ended up being happy with their decision!
