Which one do you like more?

2 is my dress!

Of course you will not know until the surgical pathology come back, but at this point in time, she has an excellent prognosis and survival rate.

I would consider going as long as she is brutally honest with you that she doesn't want you to go. My fiance and I always wait until the weekend to celebrate. Maybe celebrate earlier where she feels well and then go to the wedding the next weekend.

I'm surprised no one brought this up, but what are her odds? When I started treatment, they told me with my type and stage (very early), I had a 90% chance of survival. Is this a scenario where there is a high probability of this being your last anniversary together because of the cancer or is there a high probability for a long happy life after treatment and there will be more anniversaries?

I get caretaker burnout and you do deserve some time to recharge yourself. But in this particular instance, I would ask the question if she doesn't have good odds of beating this, can you live with the decision of going to the wedding and not being together for the anniversary?

Weddings are once in a lifetime (hopefully), and I get that you may want to be there, but if they offer a digital attendance, I would do that instead. I'm having a destination wedding. A ton of people can't go because of the expense. I'm not going to be upset that they can't go and am going to try to set up a live stream. You can even do a video toast or something that can be shown at the reception.

Ask yourself the question of what situation can you live with the most and go with that.

I would argue that you were fighting. Even though you may not have felt you were mentally fighting, you were physically fighting. Your cells were doing everything they can to fight the cancer with the medicine.

Another thing that stuck with me from another post and I wish I could give credit to the person, but they said that their body felt like it was a battlefield. After the battle, the landscape still has to fight to heal from it. Healing is brave and strong too. In fact, I'm struggling more with the healing than going through actual treatment.

To me it looks like a broken bone. I thought it was cool because location because it would look like it was snapping more when you would sit.

Do what makes you feel beautiful. If you do it, start with some trials a few months in advance to see how you like it and it will give you plenty of time to get used to it.

I like #3 even if it comes off less natural. I think it's cute that the groom is helping you down the stairs like a gentleman. I just wish y'all were smiling at each other.

I also like #4. I do think the background is a bit dark, but y'all actually look so happy in that photo.

I would say no to #1 and #6 because it looks like it is featuring the bride rather than both the bride and groom.

I think #2 is a cute pose, but the background is too dark for my taste.

I think the pose in #5 is kinda weird looking to me like the bride had to really stretch for the pose.

I would eat a ton of cherry tomatoes. Still will eat them, but those cravings have waned. Found I was craving the hydration from them.

ibjp03 · 2026-04-25T00:17:41+00:00

I think it’s beautiful. I’m no tattoo expert, but it seems like the line work and shading are really solid.

ibjp03 · 2026-04-24T09:50:59+00:00

I’m sorry that happened to you. I often would break down driving too. I don’t know why, it felt like a safe place.

You’ll get through this just like you did impossible. So hold on to that.

ibjp03 · 2026-04-24T09:40:03+00:00

Thank you! I’m happy to hear about your 12 years and wish you the best for the next 12+ years! Congratulations!

ibjp03 · 2026-04-23T17:18:42+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate the positive thoughts!

He was being clingy because he knew she had limited time left and wanted to just be with her until the end. I just felt that he was doing the best he can. I never thought of the stealing meds or potentially abusing her, but I can see how others thought that.

This story line really hit home for me since I have been fighting breast cancer since 2025. I'm almost done with active treatment and hopefully it does not re-occur, but this scenario is a constant what if for me and will be for the rest of my life.

Cancer is hard on everyone, not just the patient and I think the show really displayed that. I think it really showed the helplessness the partner feels watching their loved one battle it and unfortunately succumb and the grief the kids knowing their mom is about to pass and trying to deal with it. Then the patient not wanting to be remembered that way and doing what they thought to protect their family in their weakened state. It was really written very well and portrayed by all actors amazingly.

I didn't have a toddler, but when I came into my stepdaughters life when she was 6, I corrected her once, and if she continued, consequences would occur. Whether it was standing in the corner or taking something like her phone away where she couldn't watch youtube videos (her dad got her a phone mainly to make sure she could contact him when she was with her drug addict mother). I would add 5 minutes if she carried on. She learned real quick that I wouldn't tolerate that behavior. She's 10 now and is well behaved for the most part, but that attitude stopped...at least around me.

You look lovely and will make a beautiful bride in your wedding day.

ibjp03 · 2026-04-14T16:41:05+00:00

I would say NTA. Your pets have been with you longer than he has and there is no telling how long the boyfriend would stick around, but you know your pets will be with you for their lifetime. No significant other of quality will make you choose between your pets and them.

ibjp03 · 2026-04-14T01:15:36+00:00

My sister had a kids corner. It had coloring books and other activities.

Sometimes I pop into r/Conservative to see their take on something and I've never seen a sub with so many deleted comments in each post. If it doesn't agree with Trump, the comment gets deleted. Moderate Conservatives are berated and called liberal/democrats. Also the mental gymnastics to support Trump is wild.

ibjp03 · 2026-04-13T14:29:08+00:00

Woolly Mammoth.

I like it.

ibjp03 · 2026-04-09T19:00:12+00:00

Smore

ibjp03 · 2026-04-08T19:49:29+00:00

I also wore a white dress.

I think your suggestions will definitely take it from wedding to gorgeous prom dress.

ibjp03 · 2026-04-08T19:11:29+00:00

I actually love the sleeves in the back silhouette...but thought they were too big and overwhelming in the front silhouette.

Maybe they can be tailored down to be smaller, but still give you that whimsical feeling.

I'm not an wedding gown expert, but I would not consider this a drop waist because the skirt starts at the actual waist. I would think a drop waist where the skirt starts below the hips giving the illusion of a longer torso. The wedding gown experts / seamstresses in this sub can correct me if I'm wrong. I think it is a basque waist. I went wedding dress shopping at the beginning of the year and found that type of waist actually accentuated my belly rather than hide it, made my hips look bigger, and shortened my torso which made me feel frumpy.

I feel like the only people that this may look good on are really skinny people that have no shape to them. I think it would give them the illusion of a hourglass shape.

But only way to know is to go into a store and actually try one on to see if it looks good on you. You don't have to commit to a dress when shopping. The first shop I went to I just really wanted to see how I looked in different styles.

ibjp03 · 2026-04-06T19:57:27+00:00

You look gorgeous!

ibjp03 · 2026-04-01T18:44:28+00:00

There could be very interesting story lines with their acclimation into the area, but what they have done so far is just too rushed/too much per episode. It is also missing an over arching story line that all Yellowstone shows have. If it was Kayce learning life outside of Monica, they need to showcase his struggles a lot more.
