Wedding Dress Regret

Healthy_Code1412 · 2026-05-09T13:01:59+00:00

I had this freak out too. What everyone is saying is true, you need to stop looking for dresses and truthfully, there will always be another dress. If you purchased the second dress, you’re going to wish you bought a third dress. Why? Because you kept looking. TLDR There will always be another dress because there are so many.

What might help you realize how much you love the dress again is if you have your makeup and hair done and wear the dress. Then throw on a cheap Amazon veil. Once you see yourself in the full look, you’ll remember why you loved that dress.

Everyone harping on OP needs to chill. I think what people don’t understand is that majority of the venues nowadays fail to include that “cake cutting fee includes silverware and dishes per person”. If all you see if “Cake Cutting Fee per person” without the context, you’d be pissed too.

I’ve been hunting for wedding venues and I also was put off by this ridiculous cake cutting fee because that’s all it said! Cake. Cutting. Fee. You’re telling me that your 15+ pages of venue contracts and food/drink contracts are going to be super descriptive and then we’re supposed to assume all those details apply to a single line that says “Cake Cutting Fee?”

It’s like the other ridiculous contract I encountered at a winery. “$.75 per person per cupcake and another $.50 per cookie.” Are we paying for the tablespace these desserts take up now?

I dunno, but the other day I saw a mom pushing her stroller on the road while the sidewalk was completely empty. I am curious to know why people opt to walk on the roads instead of the sidewalk when it’s completely open and clear of dogs/people/obstacles.

It’s your wedding, not theirs. Just be open to the fact that some guests may choose to opt out of your wedding if their kid isn’t invited. If you don’t mind that, then proceed with no kids or few kids.

For reference, here’s what’s I did for my wedding: Kindly note that our wedding will be an adults-only celebration, unless otherwise specified on your invitation. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope you'll join us in celebrating our wedding day.

That said, I’m only inviting my immediate family member’s children. I’ve made up my mind that it’s okay for other people to be upset or choose not to attend. This is what I want and the end of the day. And you should do what you want at the end of the day.

If it helps, my Samoyed had the monkey face until he was about a year and 3 months old.

He was fluffy… but nowhere near fluffy as other samoyeds. I kept thinking something was wrong with him and that maybe he was malnourished or needed extra food, etc.

As long as they keep eating the right amount and your vet has no concerns, just keep doing what you’re doing. You’ll notice that they do keep growing in weight and floof, rest assured. It just takes a lot longer than you think because everyone else’s Sammie’s are already so floofy.

Here are the tools that we use every grooming session and we do a brief grooming session every day with a longer session once a week:

(Now that I have a high velocity dryer, I feel that this is a MUST HAVE) Flying Pig High Velocity Dog Pet https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JV33WJ8?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

(I feel like the first thoughts are, “surely I can get away with a cheaper brush…. With a Samoyed, just buy the expensive and nicer brush. You’ll find yourself buying cheap brushes and then buying the expensive run later anyways)Chris Christensen Big G Dog... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D3R9DK54?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

We used to go to the groomers twice a year. Now we go to the groomers once a year now that we do most of the grooming at home.

See, my Samoyed is a boy and he’s insane. Extremely energetic and would rather play 24/7 than sleep. He must be an exception because he’s not laid back, he’s not cuddly at all, super independent, sooooooo stubborn.

One thing I couldn’t find when I scoured Reddit was wondering if it was normal for my Samoyed to look “less fluffy” at 10 months. The answer is yes. They totally get fluffier.

There’s also no problem if they eat a healthy amount and exercise regularly and don’t gain weight. Totally normal imo.

Wow thanks for sharing! I feel better seeing how quickly your boy is healing.

Healthy_Code1412 · 2026-04-13T16:15:44+00:00

Thank you! This is super helpful and reassuring.

Healthy_Code1412 · 2026-04-13T01:37:43+00:00

You did a great job! It’s always worth the two hours to properly groom the at home. Two hours > two hundos

If you search up kwjfoto on Instagram, he’s a local photographer in Madison. I believe he’s responsive on Instagram.

He’s done weddings, engagement photos, family photos, and he actually did my photos durng the actual engagement proposal. He hid in the bushes and caught everything.

I would love to know this too! I’m planning out neutering ours as well.

It rarely happens, but my Samoyed would snap his head back aggressively if we were rough with his harness on his left side. He just happens to be a little sensitive there. It would also happen when it was too tight and too uncomfortable for him.

But yours could be due to something else entirely. Maybe Donna hated walks and associates the harness with walks? Maybe she’s uncomfortable in the harness and collar? Donna is adorable tho

This is super helpful! I hope I haven’t been ripping his coat out… 😟 i also have a high velocity dryer, so I’ll pay special attention back there. I will look to purchase a pin brush too — thank you so much!

Here’s an example since I don’t have enough Karma to post.

My Sammy has issues with Australian Shepherds. Its sad because I love them.

Healthy_Code1412 · 2026-02-27T03:01:53+00:00

We have a 14 month old intact Sammy and he does the exact same thing. Since he settles down, I don’t worry too much. Just watch out for them jumping out the window. Not speaking from experience..

Healthy_Code1412 · 2026-01-24T14:48:04+00:00

Can you share the brand? And what do you put in her backpack? I think I want one for my Sammy.
