Just thinking about how three short years ago, my now 4yo was learning to put shapes in a shape sorter and now I just watched him build this Lego model from memory 🚀

Happy birthday to him! And congratulations to you, too, cause no one turns a year older alone! 🥳🎂

YOU play the fiddle? That's great!!! I like it better without the shoulder rest. But that's not a switch you necessarily want to make it the middle of a song, when you're sick!

I can't play without one 🙈 I use a really tall shoulder/chin rest combo because otherwise I have to crunch my neck so much

Oh dear, oh dear

Tonight we were back at O'Malley's Torni for our St. Patrick's Day gig — two singers down with colds, including me, but at least I was still good to fiddle

Then, halfway through, a rather important load-bearing part of my shoulder rest snapped

Never had a shoulder rest break on me in 20+ years, but today it happened, during a gig

I was kind of done at that point so called it a night

C'est la vie

So beautiful! Thank you for thinking of me 🥹💜

Awesome thanks. That guest total is a problem for us, yes. Big families on both sides that are still very involved in our lives, so blessed in that sense, but now we're paying for it 😂

Ours would have been if we had stuck with our original guest list. In that situation I would make a respectful request for money instead of physical gifts (that's what we did)

Any tips for a bitcoiner getting married this year and has to find a way to cut costs for the wedding or raise funds? Very excited to get married, but the cost is crazy for me even taking into account...

Kat @Kat 1773314248

I think it was a blessing in disguise for us that Covid forced us to reduce our guest list to less than 10 people. It was a very special day but it flies by so quickly 😅

I recouped some costs after the wedding by selling my dress and accessories. My husband's outfit was rented

We actually worked with planners who got us low prices on things that should have cost a lot more. They were a new business and definitely undercharged us

A fair bit of money came in from guests and people who couldn't attend

And we DIYed a lot of things—we got a friend to buy our booze for cheap abroad and bring it back by car

So somehow it all worked out in the end
