As we were packaging up the first dress I had a feeling of wrongness and went for the second one instead at the last minute - did I choose right? 😅

My husband is GREASY greasy
How do I get this out 😭 it never comes out and we end up just getting new sheets after a while
EDIT: I didn't think I'd get these type of comments but I'll answer some questions here
He showers daily, we have changed his soaps often but nothing helps. He uses an exfoliating brush in the shower as well.
We can't make the house too cold, we have a daughter under 2 and he worries she gets too cold at night.
I've soaked the sheets in hot water, I've used up to 2 tbsp of dish soap, and I've used degreasers specific for grease stains. It is IN there 😅
He also is not a mechanic, he is an office worker!

Jokes made are fine but the ones about getting a new husband are not appreciated. This is not a man that laughs about his problem and pushes it off, it genuinely bothers him and he is upset that it also bothers me. He does a lot to help combat it.

Opinions?
Number 1 was my first pic but then I bought number 3 and I am now having second thoughts. Just looking to get feedback.

I'm standing in this bridal boutique trying not to hyperventilate because my daughter just asked me if I think she looks fat in her wedding dress. The dress that cost more than my first car. The dress we've been planning around for eight months. The dress that's supposed to make her feel like a princess on the most important day of her life.

"Mom, be honest," she says, turning sideways in the mirror, and I can hear that wobble in her voice that takes me right back to when she was seven and asking if the kids at school were right about her being weird for loving bugs more than barbies.

The thing is, she looks absolutely stunning. The blue floral embroidery catches the light like scattered sapphires, the way the bodice hugs her perfectly, how the train pools around her feet like something from a fairy tale. But I can see it in her eyes, that same insecurity that's been eating at her since her ex-fiancé made those horrible comments about her weight two years ago.

The saleswoman keeps hovering, probably sensing a lost sale, and I want to shake this girl and tell her she's perfect. Instead I take a breath and pull out my phone. Three weeks ago, I started selling vintage jewelry on the Tedooo app to help cover wedding expenses, and I'd bookmarked this gorgeous vintage bridal hair piece from a woman in Ohio who makes reproduction 1920s accessories.

"Look," I tell her, showing her the photo. "What if we added something like this? Something that draws the eye up to your face instead of wherever your brain is telling you to focus?"

She looks at the delicate pearl and crystal headpiece, and I watch something shift in her expression. "Mom, that's beautiful. Do you think she could make one that matches the blue in my dress?"

I'm already messaging the seller, explaining about my daughter, about the dress, about wanting something special. Twenty minutes later, we have a custom order placed and suddenly my girl is standing taller, seeing herself differently in that mirror.

Sometimes the most important thing isn't the big gesture. Sometimes it's just knowing exactly where to find the perfect small detail that makes someone remember they're worthy of feeling beautiful. The dress was already perfect. She just needed to see it through different eyes.

Walking out of that boutique, watching her clutch the photos we took, I realize I'm not just planning a wedding anymore. I'm watching my daughter learn to trust her own reflection again. And that's worth every penny I'll make selling vintage treasures to strangers who understand that sometimes the most meaningful purchases are the ones that help us celebrate love.

Discovers these today. I’d already bought tiles to cover what I was expecting to be a concrete floor.

Any advice in cleaning and restoring would be great. I’m in UK South Wales.

I’ve tried on soo many at this point.. I’m just a super indecisive person. Wedding will be on a sandy beach along a river in the mountains. Summer camp/festival vibes. Here’s 4 from today that I loved! Which is your fav?

INSTANT dress regret
SOS. literally on my way home from my appointment where I just placed a deposit on my dress. I am immediately regretting my decision. I went with the first dress, the other two were the runner ups. Should I call and ask if it's too late to put the deposit towards one of the others? I'm about to break down i'm actually wondering what i was thinking?!! I need yall to be so brutally honest with me, did I mess up 🥹🥹😭

Engagement party outfit

Need outfit advice! Family dinner / engagement party in downtown Toronto, May. Is this dress “too bridal”? I feel beautiful in it, but unsure if it’s too much.

Next questions: how to style? What type of shoes and bag? Jewelry wise I’m planning drop pearl earrings and small single pearl pendant.
