When I started freelancing I made my business cards on Canva and ordered through them and I was just as proud of myself 😂 Everything looks so good, diy weddings are not for the faint of heart

[@AbbyAsselin]

Hahaha yes DIY deserves all the credit!!!

Watching your videos have been such a huge help with planning my wedding. I’m so happy you’re getting married the same time I got engaged 😂😂 I have a Cricut and used it for my fiancé and I bridal party proposal boxes. It was so much fun and I’m so excited to make more things. I do have a question do you have a wedding planner or are you doing it all yourself? I’m torn between getting one and not because I feel I can plan it all with my mom and MOH help, but I’m scared of getting overwhelmed.

[@AbbyAsselin]

Awe love to hear it!! Congrats on getting engaged!! I had a day of coordinator - honestly highly recommend if you can fit it in the budget. Keeping your MOH and mom as stress free as possible will help you in the long run too, and it keeps you a lot more present the day of the wedding IMO when you have a coordinator. Shop around & most coordinators will do free zoom consults so get an idea of pricing/what they offer/what you need & see if anyone’s a good fit for you! They can help a lot with timeline and floor plan too which is a HUGE help!

One thing I wish we did was a late night snack! But I was already so overwhelmed with everything lol

[@AbbyAsselin]

omg totally hear that. Ours was so last minute with the Costco snacks but saved us SO much money & fulfilled the same need at the end of the day lolol

Saving money is the key since anything wedding is always uncharged

[@eliseschey8108]

Hey Abby, just heard of a new book called Rushing Women’s Syndrome, I haven’t read it but it is on my list. it’s about the never ending to do list that modern day women seem to have accumulated. Idk thought you might be interested as well 😊

I have a situation Abbey and need a CPA help. So I sold an unsecured promissory note as a security to a bank I used to do business with. I offered the presentment to the cfo for $250,000. It was accepted and the credits took about ten days to fully fill up my account. I began spending a little here and there then all of a sudden the bank contacts me saying that they had accidentally accepted my offer made to the CFO. That an employee that didn't know how securities work processed it. I told them that isn't my fault it's processed. And that if that is the case then send the original instrument back to me unaltered and clear my account back to my original standing. They refused and froze my account and then disenfranchised me closing my account. I was told I can claim the $247 remaining on my taxes that they took as withheld funds. How would I go about doing this? Thank you in advance.

You need a tax attorney to unpack that not someone on the internet.
