Anyone have recommendations for a venue of about 150 - 170 people?
Something like an estate or like liberty grand? That has a ceremony space as well
Not Arlington, as I think it’s honestly overpriced for what gives basic banquet hall vibes.
Can someone please let me know their experience and the cost of their wedding at liberty grande 8! Toronto! Specifically the renaissance room! It would be so appreciated! Please free to comment and I’ll send a dm if you’d like to let me know that way!!
Can someone kindly let me know how much they spent on their wedding in liberty grande in Toronto, the renaissance room?
This would be for about 150 people. Can you let me know if it included decor like flowers or just what you spent only to meet the requirements of the venue!
Anything would be helpful!! Thank you!!
My fiance just doesn’t see how passive aggressive his family is to me. They talk shit about everyone and everything that crosses their path and I can’t take it anymore. My fiance is giving me red flags and saying he thinks we’re not ready for marriage - I’m starting to feel so small with him. He doesn’t appreciate me - his mother puts so much pressure on me and says it’s the woman who builds the family and the man is just there for emotional support - that’s not true at all. It’s making me feel like I need to run away and break up with him. I can’t stand it anymore
HELP.
This is sort of a rant but I’d also love advice from anyone who has experienced something similar.
My in-laws are really interesting people. When I first met them, I thought they were amazing. I thought i was insanely lucky for getting in-laws that were so kind, chill and real (given the horror stories I’ve heard from friends and relatives about mean in-laws). As my partners and I’s relationship progressed into an engagement, I’m noticing their trauma spill out more and more on to me and it’s driving me nuts. ESPECIALLY his older sister who is about 33 and not married - for context, you can tell she is extremely insecure about this. She constantly complains about how she’ll never find anyone and calls herself fat etc.
The sister is constantly showing me passive aggression through for example dirty looks (for example when her mother compliments me). When I finally introduced his sister to mine, all she talked about was how much her mother loves my fiance and me over her - which I found was so weird considering they just met.
His mother constantly says she loves my fiance and I over her daughter and that makes me feel so uncomfortable and cringe. I put myself in the daughter’s shoes and think wow I would feel so terrible if my mother said that to me. His mother also visited my parents house and started sobbing about her kids and how she had so much hardship raising them (which is a story I’ve heard about 1000 times now, and am SO tired of hearing about it). She also purchased some gifts for me (that for example were too large for me, or just simply not my style at all). I thought were comfortable enough to share that I’d like to exchange the gift instead of letting her money go to waste and it just sit there in my closet. She responded by sobbing and saying she feels like she failed as a mother. This is a HUGE reaction to wanting to exchange a gift to get the right size. All of these things I just find so odd and for a lack of better word “not normal” interactions if someone is healthy and self aware.
I get mad at my fiance for not managing that relation better - his family has A LOT of trauma and insecurity that I really don’t think they’re aware of, and don’t see how much it spills onto other in their simple interactions. I love my fiance very much but it’s given me cold feet about how he’ll handle conflict in the future.
His mother has told me straight up that how much her and his sister are in involved in mine and my finances lives are up to ME, and I literally gasped. Relationships go both ways and I will not be blamed for them not being in our lives due to their lack of effort. I’m feeling trapped and all of this is making me feel disconnected from my partner. I can’t talk to him about this stuff cause he gets so defensive, at the end of the day it’s his mother and it’s like she can’t do no evil…. They genuinely need therapy and all of these types of interactions make me want to run away and not associate with them.
I think in their hearts they want to be good and genuine but the trauma they have makes those interactions turn into weird, negative, insecure behaviour that does not result in a good or positive execution in how they interact with others.
That is all! I hope no one ever faces weird in-laws and just meets a family that is similar to theirs in a positive, happy and healthy way lol
