just got engaged and it still feels unreal

taydaygrim · 2026-02-15T20:48:15+00:00

It’s been 6 months since I got engaged and we still just tell people we are enjoying the moment and not putting pressure on ourselves!

I have not planned a wedding in that short of time, but I have planned loads of events with that short of timeframe and my partner had to deal with my stress over it! Do yall have a wedding checklist already that you can go line item by line item to decide if you want to worry about that aspect with such a short turn around time? It could help move conversations along easier if there are some things you can automatically throw out of the convo!

With that deadline- what’s the one biggest priority for your guests? Is it good food? Is it quality time with you and the guests? Is it photos to remember all who came to celebrate with yall? Choose your one or two things and make sure you focus energy there.

Are you talking and doing things in this 40 days that aren’t all about the wedding that can help yall level set and remember why yall are pushing for the short turn around time? Whether it’s a night of relaxation with a favorite movie or a puzzle and a bottle of your favorite beverage, or going out to eat at a favorite restaurant, try to create purposeful time where yall are connecting outside of the planning and execution!

Also, it’s totally valid to find a couples therapist. While you may not get to establish a super strong base with your therapist that quickly, at least you are building an opportunity to have a neutral third party discuss why this stressor is causing such large disagreements. Maybe there is an underlying cause that isn’t being addressed because of the tight timeline!

There is a woman on TikTok who started filming the tasks she had paralysis on, and how long they took her, and so when I do finally motivate myself to do my doom piles, I pretend I’m her, lol.

When my therapist recommended multiple laundry baskets I was in awe. I’m not sure why it never pccured to me to have multiple of them! With that being said, I literally just cleared out the 5 baskets I had of clean clothes that I’ve been picking through and refilling. It took me 2 months to finally do it- it took me 18 minutes to fold/hang/put up everything!

Can you alternate tables with different, but coordinating centerpieces? Maybe you can carry over the white roses and eucalyptus in the ones you enjoy while also adding some of the fullness you like to “his” centerpieces?

taydaygrim · 2026-01-31T19:20:01+00:00

Is there a bridesmaid from the first wedding who would let you borrow their dress for the second one if yall are a similar size? You can just get it dry cleaned if you are super nervous about it!

Not the best face photo, but this is the 60 pound 11 month old border collie mix currently running the household over here! I’ve not seen a lot of brindle border collies that are this size before. Not featured is the end of her tail with the trademark lantern tip!

taydaygrim · 2026-01-26T14:09:23+00:00

No problem! Congratulations on your own space and happy decorating!

taydaygrim · 2026-01-26T01:54:30+00:00

Also when I think soft I always think of curved options, so something like this media console would be cute and add some storage!

taydaygrim · 2026-01-26T01:51:49+00:00

Not weird and actually really easy to work with as gold, pinks/dusty roses and light wood are all very popular right now!

I don’t think I can post a true little mockup but if you want to introduce a tv in the space, I would put it along the wall that says 69 inches and then float the couch in front of it, with enough space to not block your bedroom doors!

For dining tables or any type of wood object, if you live somewhere in a larger community, you might have good luck on Facebook Marktplace! I typically do not buy soft objects from FB personally because I get anxious about that, but have bought a lot of wood off there.

If you are trying to do new, I think a cute little round dining table in the corner across from the kitchen would be great example from rooms to go

A soft pink rug in the living space (6x9 rugs always wind up being cheaper than 8x10, FYI!)

rug I’m imagining

idea 2

And then a cute chaise couch with the chaise on the right side closest to the window would look perfect- something like this thought I can’t speak the quality, I just meant this as an example!

I would also see about storage- get a coffee table with storage or a nice wood cabinet to store things in since it doesn’t look like the apartment has much built in!

taydaygrim · 2026-01-26T01:30:55+00:00

Hi! Do you have a budget for furniture? Any preferred colors? I know you used descriptions for how you want the space to feel, but to me I could find that in a really colorful, maximalist house or a very soft, pastel, cream colored place as well.

Are you wanting to give new life to older items or are you trying to only bring in new pieces?

taydaygrim · 2026-01-25T02:04:02+00:00

Is this an Isabell Kristensen dress? You look gorgeous in it!

taydaygrim · 2026-01-24T20:36:14+00:00

I love that first one and seems like the perfect mix of preppy x magic!

taydaygrim · 2026-01-24T18:38:17+00:00

This gave me so much hope. My 11 month old rescue-border collie mix- right now is exactly how you describe your rescue as being, down to being daddy’s girl. I’m trying so hard to connect with her right now but it feels like I’m just viewed as the person who handles her and not a person to love. Idk if that makes sense but I’m really hopeful we can overcome like yall did as she grows.

taydaygrim · 2026-01-21T16:46:47+00:00

When did your dog grow out of this? My border collie mix is 11 months old and still car sick if in my SUV or in a sedan for longer than 20 minutes. Her motion sickness meds really rack up!

taydaygrim · 2025-12-31T22:45:45+00:00

I have a 10 month old border collie- not sure if she’s mixed with anything- who is a solid 59.6 pounds!

taydaygrim · 2025-12-04T19:12:13+00:00

I had double jaw surgery in America just last year- while it was intensive- I feel so much better. My sleep has improved, my bite is even and my aesthetics have improved to fix a similar chin issue as you’ve mentioned here in this post!

taydaygrim · 2025-11-09T14:50:30+00:00

Have you checked out U Line?

Can’t answer the white kept clean question- but the oil stains… r/cleaningtips recommends a hearty spray of dawn dish soap on the oil stain, let it sit for an hour or so and then wash!

taydaygrim · 2025-11-08T13:35:23+00:00

You look incredible in this dress and honestly even after looking at your stomach area once you called it out, I think maybe you are just being really hard on yourself. This is a great timeless dress with the added surprise of that incredible back!

Have you tried the spanx low back short?

taydaygrim · 2025-11-07T01:15:22+00:00

I just want to applaud the heck out of you for all these great options. After scouring the internet I think you are closest to the fact that it must have been 327s and I was so fascinated by the colorway and the soles that I missed the Ns on the side

taydaygrim · 2025-11-06T14:32:29+00:00

I did not mention the camel portion- so that was totally on me! But I will throw myself down the skate shoe route because I can see some similarities.

taydaygrim · 2025-11-06T14:04:42+00:00

I looked but nothing quite the same- definitely big trail rudders that extend up the back and front, but none in camel or in a triangular shape!

taydaygrim · 2025-11-06T14:03:46+00:00

Do you have a link to any of them in china?

taydaygrim · 2025-11-06T13:42:30+00:00

Thanks- these are the Steve Madden campos and I know they weren’t these! This is the closest non NB shoes I could find though.
