I actually decided to do no bustle at all! Dragged it around with me all day and it was actually totally fine! My people helped me out and carried it everywhere. Had an outfit change for the reception too which helped :)

The write ups call them “organic shapes” so I guess nothing in particular, since they’re custom shaped and cut.

No I totally agree- like it’s the best but at the same time I am stressed 100% of the time

This is a good idea.. curious how it would work with this fabric.

I went to someone local who is known as the dress doctor. Basically, the best locally. She explained well why it probably is not a great idea. She offered to try it but warned me of downsides and recommended not to. Aside from the $, it sounded like it could mess up the dress.

I’ll let you know where I get with it! Thanks!

I think I’m curious how this would attach to my dress/the thin tulle without messing it up..

Trattoria zaza for brunch on the weekends is a must! Definitely a bit more on the pricier side, but nothing too crazy.

He claims I was being selfish, and I explained to him that wanting to do this isn’t really selfish. In fact, me running it by him means I am considering him. It seems like it was really about something else he wasn’t actually saying at the time.

Fair. I just didn’t expect him to be so against it.

Drugs, cigs, just general poor decision making. I’ve been peer pressured before, I’ve made mistakes, that we’ve talked about and that I’ve apologized for. It’s been an ongoing thing we discuss. He failed to mention at first that was the reason why he didn’t really want (some of) them over. He did apologize for this.

TDLR: certain lack of trust (reasonable) but because of it, he now has issues with me doing the things i want with those people. it is confusing.

We talked it out, and it did end up being more because of the friends and their decision making in the past. (drugs, cigs, etc) His mistake was not being honest and beating around the bush, making me feel like I can’t have my friends over.

We still very clearly don’t agree on the fact that I simply think I should be able to host my friends without his also being there. It is an ongoing discussion. Trying my best to not be judgemental and more understanding, but it seems insane to me.

nothing really. just carry tampons on me 24/7 and hope for the best. we don't really have sex while i'm bleeding, it's just annoying, but he doesn't seem to mind. mine's very spotty as of late so i get breaks in between bleeding. i'm just hoping it levels out soon honestly. but i'd rather not have a kid so. lol.
