You are extreme lucky this came up in a discussion, the attending Italians would be furious. They stuff the cards full of cash, in return you need to make sure their bellies are stuffed. OH! And make sure you have bread, plenty of bread!!!

Weddings can be expensive and when booking caterers they charge even extra for weddings but on top of that you chose to pay even more for plates with minimal food just for the presentation. You might not need to worry about switching caterers unless this is the only menu they offer. Ask for menu adjustments and extra bread being for the Italian side.

I attended a wedding where the invitation failed to mention that it was a stand up, finger food reception. Food came out every 5 minutes by a waiter carrying a tray. Came out of the kitchen door, was put on a table and cleaned up in seconds. Everyone was hungry and uncomfortable. People started to leave early, met quite a few at the nearest McDonald’s. Put a lot of money in the card to fight for food and and spend more money on food after the event.

You sound really immature. (not having a go, just, that's my perception of you rn)

There are more important things than looks, which fade.

Sounds like you got tempted away by something new and when that didn't work out (a whole week later) now you want your pretty girl back.

I hope she has already moved on.

You do not deserve a loving partner with this attitude toward women.

This is correct. You should only be doing this, serving breadcrumbs with drizzle toppings, if literally both families are rich as shit and are used to that sort of thing, otherwise you will greatly disappoint the people that show up, especially if they have to go out of their way to reach the destination with no where else to get food, and your guests really shouldn't need to rely in getting food elsewhere if you are going to have them there most of the day.

This sort of thing comes with the territory when you’re divorced with kids. You text your ex regularly, and text apps don’t do a good job of making it easy to distinguish people. Texts are gonna go awry. We’ve all done it.

I’ve mis-sent texts intended for my girlfriend (now wife) to my ex on more than one occasion. And she’s done the same. It’s awkward, but you laugh about it and move on. In this hyper-connected world we’re in, it pays to be apologetic and compassionate.

I’ve actually come to see this sort of misstep as kind of a good thing. It helps keep us honest about our feelings. For example, your ex now knows about the fear you had - which is understandable by the way - but also that you were able to trust her despite that. That’s not a bad thing.

This will blow over.

Yeah, haute cuisine is not appropriate for a wedding. It’s really tempting to look at all this food and pick the dishes that you personally like, but I always keep in mind would my grandmother eat this and would she enjoy it and have enough food. Wedding are only really remembered for their food and any drama, and a lack of food is only going to creat a lot of hungry and drunk guests.

You don't fix this. You made a mistake, and you have to accept and deal with the outcome of you ending all alone. If girl 1 has a little self-respect, she'll never take you back, and rightly so. And if you don't want to be an asshole, you'll spare her your arguments and your presence. An apology might be appreciated, but don't go ANY further than that, because any follow-up of 'I want to be with you again' will completely destroy your apology. But I think it's better to immediatly completely remove yourself from her life.

Move on. You're a young man; if you wanna be a real man start acting like it. Move on, improve yourself, and try again in a couple of years.

It is very unfortunate the dog had a seizure but that is an unintended consequence of you looking for qtips and not something you are responsible for.

Also, it is very impressive that you have the ability to fix your playstation
