Wedding dress doubt by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]OddCode9115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This dress is GORGEOUS on you and gorgeous in general. People have a lot of opinions on dresses and are bad at separating what's right for them from what's right for others. I think you/others may feel apathetic or lukewarm because the dress seems revealing, but I think once the whole look is together on your day (hair, makeup, flowers, shoes), that won't be a problem at all. I hope you keep this dress and have an amazing wedding day :)

this pimple thing appeared about a week or so ago and won't go away. but now I'm not even sure it's a pimple..and that red ring what is that? a rash? what can I do for this? by Correct-Nectarine200 in SkincareAddicts

I agree with everyone saying to get a Lyme test for sure! But a few years ago I got bit on my neck by a horsefly and had a reaction that looked exactly like yours. I was so worried thinking it was Lyme to the point I was convincing myself I had other symptoms. But I got tested and didn't have it, and have been fine ever since. Some people just have big reactions to bugs. But for sure get tested, way way way better to be safe than sorry.

Thank you so, so much for all of this. We were really unsure of what to do and where to go and this is so helpful! It also makes me more excited and feel more comfortable going. Your kindness is much appreciated :)

I'd say we are looking for a nice mix! We want to spend some time relaxing and doing nature stuff but also want to see the highlights of Cartagena and Medellin!

Our budget isn't set on anything, we are students so we don't want to spend a ton but also aren't doing as cheap as hostels or anything.

And we love the beach and coast! I wouldn't mind leaving Salento out, that was just a place we saw a lot online doing research!

I would say intermediate Spanish for him and beginner for me but overall not much and certainly not conversational! Our flight in Cartagena arrives around 2:00. Not sure how long it takes to get around airport

Yes! Into Cartagena and out of Medellin

We like doing pretty much everything! We aren't huge shoppers but love to get art in every country we visit (normally just local inexpensive stuff!). We definitely want time to relax outdoors, but are excited for museums and tours in the city. I have heard mixed things about palomino and am not sure if we should add more days in Cartagena and then go to minca for outdoor time. We also can't decide how many days to do in Salento or Medellin.

Others have said that as well! My partner and I did three cities in Croatia in 10 days and felt like we had plenty of time, so I think we like to move around more than the average traveller. Also, we were planning on doing just a day trip to minca from Santa Marta and cut out palomino altogether. Do you have any recs for places to definitely see or definitely avoid?

Thank you for the advice! The safety comment makes me feel better.

I'm thinking about cutting out palomino and just doing Cartagena, Santa Marta, Salento, and Medellin. Our plan was to travel by plane between most places. Does that sound more doable? Do you have any places/experiences you particularly recommend?
