I’m getting married at a high-end restaurant that has old Hollywood vibes with luxurious decor, art deco art, and historical pictures. I want to lean into the vintage Hollywood vibes and plan our wedding around it. I’m struggling with what colors would be best for the bridesmaids and flowers; men will wear tuxedos. The wedding will be during fall and we hope to have a quick ceremony on the patio and then go inside for the dinner/reception.

What wedding colors would best fit this theme? I was going to allow the bridesmaids to pick their style of dress but keep them the same color. What color/style bouquets should I do?

My boyfriend of 10 months willingly went to rehab almost 30 days ago. He told me he’d been to rehab facilities multiple times before but would leave after he detoxed, before the real work began. When he called me 30 days ago to tell me he was checking himself in, he said he was doing it for himself and for us.

Months ago he was at the ER for pancreatitis and we also took him to the ER another time to ensure he would safely detox. So, I knew he struggled but didn’t know how I could help.

I love him so much and look forward to our future together but I’m scared. I feel some hope that he checked himself in within me asking him to, and that he says he wants better for himself and us. I know alcoholics can be manipulative but I choose to have hope. Am I wrong? He was sober for a few years before he met me so I know he can do it.

He’ll be home this weekend (maxing out his insurance allowance for days they will pay for) and I am so happy. I’m here to support him however I can and hope that he can be successful in his journey to sobriety.

I (42F) had a medial thigh lift last week. I read up on it and purchased a SheWee so I could pee without it getting on my stitches. Problem is, I use the SheWee and somehow urine is still getting on my bandages. Is this the norm and no one talks about it or is this user error? It’s not much that gets on the bandage but I’m worried about even a small amount on my bandages.
