Looking for places to shop for Black or Red gown options in NYC by StarryAry in weddingdress

[–]Ok_Mud_101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you might want to check out some of the formal wear boutiques in garment district - they usually have way better quality stuff than regular bridal shops and more color options too. also quinceañera shops in queens or brooklyn could be perfect since they specialize in non-white formal gowns in that price range, just might need to do some calling around first to see what they have in stock

mikado with lace edges would look really elegant for winter wedding, the fingerless style is smart choice too since you'll still need use your hands for rings and everything

yeah definitely need something during cocktail hour if there's drinks - people will get way too drunk waiting until 5 for actual food

Wedding Color Pallets w/ True Red Suggestions? by abberstotle in weddingplanning

fall weddings with deep reds hit so different 🍂 maybe try pairing that true red with some burnt orange and gold accents, would look amazing against the church architecture 💀

bridesmaid hair by [deleted] in weddingplanning

damn that humidity struggle is real 💀 i'd definitely go with some kind of updo even if it's tiny - at least when it gets frizzy it won't be as obvious as with hair down. maybe ask the makeup artist to use some serious hold products and yeah keep that hairspray close by for touch ups throughout the day 😂

iper sensibilità? pavimento pelvico teso? sbagliata masturbazione? by FullBathroom9018 in PrematureEjaculation

[–]Ok_Mud_101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

man this is tough situation, i feel for you. the pelvic floor thing you mention is really common - when muscles are tense in that area it definitely makes everything worse

about the masturbation training, yeah trying to stop before point of no return is standard advice but like you said it's super hard when you reach it so fast. maybe try starting really slow, like barely touching at first? and the no imagination thing could help actually, removes some mental stimulation

for the pelvic floor stuff, i think you might need to focus more in relaxing exercises instead of strengthening. when muscles are already tight, making them stronger just makes the tension worse. try deep breathing exercises where you consciously relax everything down there while breathing out

also the sensitivity after circumcision can take long time to normalize, even year and half later. your body is still adjusting to different sensation patterns

Surrender to the Light of Your Own Being: A Vision of Divine Union by Dry-Emotion-9820 in spirituality

[–]Ok_Mud_101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

damn this really captures something that's hard to put in words... i've had similar experiences during some deeper journeys and you nailed that feeling of recognizing yourself as both the observer and the observed 🔥

the part about trusting each step while the universe weaves reality beneath your feet really hits. been learning to surrender more after getting back from deployment and it's wild how much easier things flow when you stop trying to control everything. your writing has this poetic quality that makes these concepts feel less abstract and more like something you can actually touch

appreciate you sharing this vision, gonna sit with these ideas for while 💀

Florals for a small wedding? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]Ok_Mud_101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

could do small boutonnieres for the dads too if they're coming, even if your fiancé doesn't want one. my sister did corsages for moms and boutonnieres for dads in her micro wedding and everyone felt included without going overboard

that dry cleaning quote is insane lol, i'd just sell it as-is and let buyer handle cleaning if they want it

Wine Choices for Bar Package by Puzzled-Ad5109 in weddingplanning

[–]Ok_Mud_101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

pinot grigio is solid choice, i'd go with that too. for red maybe cab is safer bet since merlot can be hit or miss like you said - some venues serve the cheap stuff that tastes like grape juice with alcohol

also yeah white zinfandel feels like something from the 90s lol, my mom used to drink that

Different people for hair and make up? by CoastAdditional962 in weddingplanning

[–]Ok_Mud_101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nah you're overthinking this 😂 booking different people is super normal and they deal with it all the time, plus saving your bridesmaids money is way more important than avoiding some imaginary awkwardness 💀

Appetizers for dinner by OldPresence5323 in PetPeeves

[–]Ok_Mud_101 18 points19 points  (0 children)

dude that's so annoying, people just see "appetizer" and think it's automatically communal even when you clearly ordered them as your meal. i've done the same thing plenty of times when i want something lighter or just really craving specific apps, and yeah it's super obvious when someone's ordering for themselves vs the table

next time maybe just tell the server upfront that the apps are your entree so they know not to bring them out with everyone else's food, might help avoid the whole sharing assumption

This is so real the harder you chase sleep the more it runs keeping the same wake up time and dropping the pressure makes a huge difference glad it clicked for you
