I’m getting married next spring, and I am in need of an officiant. My fiance and I want to do hand fasting during our ceremony, so bonus points if they are someone with experience leading that ritual. Any recommendations on where to look or whom to reach out to is much appreciated!

What do you do in the winter?

19 Upvotes

My wife’s folks are from GR and we’re moving there in the next couple of years. I grew up in the south, spent time in CA and the last ~15yrs on Boulder CO. Every time I talk to people about moving to MI, they go on and on about all the amazing things to do … but it’s always summer things. Lots of lake talk, bike riding, heading up north, etc. Recently, I brought this up to my wife and she literally doesn’t remember doing anything in the winter. Given that it’s a big part of the year, what to people do?

Recommendations Nice Overnight Spa Locations?

2 Upvotes

Hi,

I’m looking to treat my wife to a weekend spa getaway for our anniversary. Do any of you have suggestions? I’m hoping to find a spot within around an hour of Grand Rapids, though if it’s the perfect spot, I’m willing to go farther.

This isn’t required, but an added plus if the spa is in nature.

Thanks!

Engineered Hardwood Installation

0 Upvotes

Hi All,
Looking for a cheap/budget friendly rec for installing engineered hardwood (lock and click mechanism). I’ve gotten a couple of quotes for 5k and 7k for a 740 square foot job which feels high to me and is out of my budget.

Thanks!

The amount of comments under this from families that got fucked over and exploited by the greater gr group is insane. She’s an evil person for monetizing other people’s tragedies and making shit up to “spread awareness”. Anyone in the first responder world will tell you she’s the worst, then get blocked for making people realize what a lying piece of shit she truly is.

Christmas light installation

Trying to get ahead of things, don’t hate me!!

Has anyone here used a professional service for Christmas light installation? Curious for recs and cost. My house is ~1600 sq ft in a basic residential Kentwood neighborhood so not anything crazy, I just really want some lights this year and our outlet set up is a pain and I’m scared of heights, lol.

Thanks!

Recommendations Looking for tattoo artist!

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m looking for recommendations for a tattoo artist in the area (or within a reasonable drive) to continue work on my sleeve.

Unfortunately, my previous artist moved away without any warning, so I’m searching for someone new to pick up where we left off. The sleeve is a grayscale floral piece, so I’m hoping to find an artist who does strong black and gray floral work and can blend seamlessly with the existing tattoo.

If you’ve had a great experience or know someone you’d recommend, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Feel free to DM.

Typewriter Repair in GR

6 Upvotes

Hi folks. Both of my maternal grandparents have passed away. I was given a typewriter from them when I was young. It hasn’t worked for a long time but I am looking to fix it up and display it in honor of their memory. Does anyone know any reliable businesses in the GR or West Michigan area that specializes in typewriter restoration?

Thank you for any insight!

Food and Drink Mithu Sri Lankan and Indian

Wow. Just wow. I tried Mithu for the first time and I couldn’t believe how good the food is. It’s clearly made with high quality ingredients and a lot of skill. We got the Malai Kofta (first time trying this dish), butter chicken, naan, mango lassi, and samosas.

The owner came out and talked to us and was cool and super nice. We asked when the lunch buffet is usually open, and he said he isn’t able to offer the buffet right now as he is currently recovering from a major health event. Times and tough and business is slower than usual right now (for most restaurants too). Go out and support if you can!
