    I believe my boyfriend is going to propose! ?

    His parents flew from Their country, his family has been commenting about weddings to us. His brothers say stuff like “ look do you like this for your wedding “ or “look for your honeymoon” and also his brother was like “ man well this guy wants to to get married, what are you giving him” lol I’m like nothing lol 😆 his niece asked me what style of rings I liked. They’re making it obvious lol my boyfriend told me a few weeks before his parents got here that he can’t tell me but he’s planning for when his parents come and for something else and that I’ll find out soon. But he needs to save as much as he can after that so he might get a second job. My boyfriend has told me to do my nails (since I do my own acrylics at home) So isn’t this so obvious? Lol his parents rarely come and they did this month. His sister is coming next week as well. Idk am I illusional? Lol

    How to get over disappointment over not being proposed to, but my best friend did instead?

    I was on vacation with my boyfriend of six years, along with my best friend and her boyfriend. This happened a week ago and everyone is home and safe now, but I've been feeling very passive aggressive and angry over the fact that I thought my boyfriend was the one surprising me with a proposal, but it was really my best friend being surprised. They have only been dating a couple of years which makes the whole situation sting all the more.

    Due to COVID, we tried to make sure we did as much as we could not to be around too many people at once, and would often book tours privately just for the 4 of us. We were in Hawaii and decided to go whale watching for a day. It was a full day boat tour with sunrise breakfast, lunch, snorkeling, whale watching and a sunset evening dinner. Extremely romantic and my heart was pounding the whole time thinking for sure this has to be the day my boyfriend proposes to me.

    Suddenly, right before sunset our boat driver announces that he has to change the sails. We figured it was a bit strange but just let it go and let him do his thing. All of a sudden, the plain white sails were changed to sails that had the words "WILL YOU MARRY ME?" I make a complete fool of myself and start jumping up and down, telling my boyfriend of course I would and kissed him.

    My boyfriend, the guy actually making the proposal t my best friend as well as the boat driver all looked horrible for me with very awkward looks on their faces. -cont-

    How much should I pay my friend to photograph my wedding if he is insisting on not charging me?

    We are in a band together and he took our engagement photos for free and i know he would do our wedding photos for free too but he deserves compensation for his art.

    Who usually proposes? The Man or the Woman?

    Like as far as weddings and marrying, who usually buys the rings and proposes? Does the man give the woman the ring? Or does the woman give the man the ring?

    I told my daughter to do her own makeup because we don’t have $75 for her to pay a stylist and my daughter in law is demanding a stylist ?

    My daughter has already spent an excessive amount of money buying her own makeup so it’s silly to have the artist do it and a waste of money. She’s good at doing makeup so we feel like she can do a good job but my sons fiancé is requiring her get it professionally done We’ve already spent so much money on this wedding plus they have a destination wedding in Greece we are going broke trying to pay for this wedding my son’s daughter is high maintenance

    Do I have the right to invite myself to my cousins wedding?

    Favourite answer:

    Absolutely not.  People tend to very careful who they invite to their wedding, especially during the pandemic.  Besides, they would have to pick up your tab for the reception, which can be costly.  It would only be OK if your mom's invitation said that she could bring a guest.

    My girlfriend wants a pearl engagement ring. Is this a good idea?

    She's very budget friendly so she really doesn't care about diamonds or anything like that. She also prefers non traditional styles over something like a diamond solitaire. She said so herself that she finds them "plain, boring, and overly expensive for such a small stone."

    I have to say, I agree with her on all of those points. Her birthday is in June and especially because of COVID, we are going to do a super inexpensive elopement on the beach, and she is absolutely floored by this idea because of her love for the ocean. I figured this is why a pearl would be perfect and  I could easily get her a giant sized pearl with a great color for less than $1000.

    Anyone have any experience with pearl engagement rings? Do you really need to maintain them every few years or is that just something the diamond industry tries to tell you? We also have friends whom have had opal rings that have stood the test of time for at least 5 years now. They still look just as good as the day they bought them, so I was wondering if pearls fall under that category, too?

    She is also not opposed to other gems such as moissanite (she finds them more interesting than diamonds because they come from space, so I know she'd prefer that over a lab diamond too), but I still want to incorporate pearl as part of her engagement. Maybe as a pendant instead of a ring? Advice is well appreciated.

    Can anyone help ?

    Favourite answer:

    The card is enough.  

    Gifts are optional even if you do attend, if you want to give a gift you also have up to 1 year after the wedding to give a gift.

    I have a lot of aunts/uncles and some I barely know, I might see them once or twice a year on a good year and I really wouldn't expect a gift from them.

    When one of my cousins got married in another state (he's from here) years ago, I had originally planned to attend but then I lost my job from down sizing and ended up not going.  Once I was back up and working, I sent a gift with a card and later took them to dinner when they came to visit.

    Another cousin just got married this weekend.  Due to covid her wedding was rescheduled 4 times.  I origially RSVP'd yes but ended up not being able to attend as my mom is recovering from covid complications and I take care of her.  So I sent her a card with a gift, but I'm in a position I can afford the gift.

    No gift should be given if you can't afford it, you need to take care of you first.

    Wouldn’t your feelings be hurt? ?

    Favourite answer:

    Your husband is a bigger idiot than the spitefull witch.

    HE NEEDS to be a man and set her straight or boycott this wedding and ALL events that exclude you.

    EeffingNOUGH ALREADY!

    I would not allow her to gaslight me even one mor e time. She knows she is upsetting you while getting perverse pleasure out of it.

    Your husband is a wussy! Sorry!

    You are a saint to put up with herBullshit for 20 years. And, your husband is betraying You, all the while.

    Have him read this. He needs a WAKE - UP Call!

     By the way. All of my siblings and our parents (all 7 of us) can't stand our brother's wife. But at least we don't treat her like yesterday's trash and she is always included in family events. And yes, she wears the pants in our brother's house.

    Isn't it stupid of couples to cram cake in each other's faces?

    Favourite answer:

    As a wedding guest, I find it embarrassing. In cases where it is obvious that one of the people involved is surprised and displeased by the other's action, it is enormously embarrassing.

    Does my sister have a right to be upset?

    I'm getting married in October and have already chosen my bridesmaids. To my suprising my sister came to me and said she was upset I didn't pick her to be one. We are 9 years apart and I would rather have my friends and sisters in law by my side. I honestly didn't think my sister would make a fuss about it. Does she have the right to be upset and how do I help her understand it's my wedding and I get to choose the bridesmaids I wanted?

    Why does my friend want my maid of honor to look bad?

    My friend is one of my Bridemaids. She got married last year and I was also a Bridesmaid at her wedding. I created a bridesmaid chat and added my bridal party. Two days later she says: " Can you believe the maid of honor hasn't reached out about the bachelorette!?". I was a bit confused because I had just created the chat and the wedding it's still 5 months away. I said that it is still early and also I didn't mind planning it myself. A few days later, she asked me what hairstyle I want the Bridemaids to have. I said that I wasn't picking any hairstyle and that she could do whatever she wanted on her hair. She said: " the maid of honor suppose to help you decide that". I was confused because deciding on a hairstyle is not a task that requires someone's else help. I met with my maid of honor today and I was helping out with the bridal shower. I know that the etiquette is " maid of honor is responsible" but again she isn't a millionaire nor the bridesmaids. I want to help with anything I can. Maid of honor sent a message in the chat about it, and my friend messaged me privately: " What is your maid of honor thinking? Bridal showers suppose to be a surprise!" She is right but instead of messaging me, I think she should have messaged the maid of honor and bring it up to her not me. It sounded that she wanted the maid of honor to look dumb or something. Am I overthinking this? Why does it sound like she wants my maid of honor to look bad?

    Help! How can we accommodate our guests after the ceremony if a restaurant can't accommodate us?

    My fiancé and I are getting married in 3 weeks. We will have 8 guests: both our parents & grandparents. My side of the family (plus my fiancé and I) will be traveling 4 hours to the venue the night before and my fiancé's side will be traveling 2 hours to the venue the morning of the ceremony. Our ceremony is at 1pm followed by a champagne toast with cake which we will enjoy on the deck of the venue (and photos). Unfortunately the venue's restaurant is closed that day (we're getting married mid-week) so I asked the venue's manager for recommendations in the area. She provided plenty and I've contacted all of them to reserve a table for 10 but every single restaurant has said their max seating capacity is up to 6 and they won't be able to accommodate us! I'm not sure what to do now so I need to get a little creative. Any ideas on how my fiancé and I can accommodate our guests? Everyone will be driving back home once everything is over (except for us-we're staying at the Inn for the remainder of the week). Is the champagne and cake after the ceremony enough or is it rude to not have actual food for them? The event will be from 1-2:30pm (including professional photos from our photographer). Thank you for your help!!

    when are you officially 'man and wife' (aka married) ?

    is it when you get down on one knee and propose to the woman if she will be your wife and marry you, and she says yes, and then you slip on that ring on her finger ?

    or is it when you go through your traditional wedding ceremony at your place of worship and whoever it may be (the priest, bishop, mullah, pandit, rabbi etc ) pronounces you as 'man and wife' ?

    Dance Floor with Tables on Either Side - Difficult to Mingle?

    Hi everyone! We're currently in the process of deciding on our wedding venue and have narrowed it down to a top 3 (out of 15 total). The one my fiancé and I leaning towards has a somewhat long/narrow ballroom. It's plenty big to fit all of our guests (we're thinking around 100 guests total), but the dance floor would be placed in the center of the ballroom with banquet tables on either side. 

    Does anyone think it would be problematic to have guests separated across the dance floor? My mother is concerned it'll be difficult to mingle with guests on the other side of the ballroom without having to cross the dance floor, which may be hard to cross if there is a good amount of people dancing. 

    There will be room for a pathway to the other side of the ballroom next to the dance floor, about the width of a hallway - but is that enough space for guests to feel like they can easily mingle with guests on the other side? I can see how a large square ballroom with a dance floor in the front and banquet tables around it in a U-shape would likely be more ideal because it would be easier for guests to mingle. 

    Probably a silly concern, but I'm curious what everyone else thinks on this! I'm curious if others think this is big enough deal to possibly select a different venue over!
