I honestly don't want a huge engagement ring, but I do want a small diamond that is suitable for my tiny finger. I don't expect my man to spend thousands of dollars on a ring either, I want a small ring maybe even under 1000 which I don't feel is asking for too much considering we're going to be married for the rest of our lives. He kind of made me feel like I was asking for too much or that I was being materialistic. He makes a great living and can support us fine. He asked me what I would do if he couldn't afford an expensive ring and I told him that I didn't care about the cost as long as it was nice and wasnt super small. he then got kind of upset and kept going on about how a diamond is just compressed coal and why it was such a big deal. is it bad of me to want an actual diamond ring for my engagement ring?

So my caterer Jason is amazing. He really catered to my and my hubbys desires. However, my mom and law was right: there are 347 guests, 94 are kids and 77 eat vegetarian! So we made a main menu, then the we asked the waiter to do a kids and veg menu and he said hell throw something together. Looks good to me please let me know what you think and how it can be better. Main menu Starter: Crunchy tuna tar tare Avocado, crunch, sliced mangos, rice, jalapenos and yuzu sauce Main: Steakhouse filet mignon (9 oz) Side: Bacon mac n cheese, sauteed spinach Dessert: Chocolate, strawberry, bacon trifle with salted caramel ice cream and toasted salted caramel This is what he made last night for veg and kid he said everyone would love it and we gotta trust the caterer!

We are getting married in mid-November in 2017 and are deciding between plum with accents of other colors of purple or emerald green with accents of gold

I v always wanted my mom to walk me down the aisle on my wedding day. She s was my dad and mom rolled into one. I m not terribly close to my dad. Things have gotten much better between us and his worked on a lot, but I still feel weird having him be the one. We never even hang out. My dad over the phone has already let me know that "Your dads suppose to hand you off ya know!" & "I m walking with you right?" I don t want to crush his feelings...but I also don t want him to crush my wedding with anger & spite and sadness. What should I do? What are some options?

Is it just a waste of money? Is it to show off on how good, extravagant, rich or different someone's wedding could be? Is it to get really good presents? Is it because everyone else has done has had weddings, so why not you? To share in your joy? To get really good memories? For the experience, so you have things to talk about with friends and family? Frankly, I would hope that instead of people spending perhaps thousands of dollars on this big party, they would spend this money on more important things. charity, a new house, food, financial security, etc. So what is the REAL reason that people have weddings?

First course: Vegetable soup with smoked mushrooms and steamed carrots Second course: Boiled chicken with orange sauce and apricot sweet potatoes Third course: Apricot almond cake with cranberry sorbet Drinks: Sparkling water Red wine Cranberry lemonade Any suggestions? How does this sound, I did it myself so please give me any cristism or ideas. By the way this IS a Jewish wedding, and we have 325-350 guests.

He left when I was twelve. We didn't talk for about 4 years. I am 25 now.
