So my ring budget is between $10,000 and $15,000 so it's not too extravagant. I currently have enough money for it but my parents are offering to give me an additional $8,000 to purchase an even more expensive ring. So I have a couple options. 1.) I could take their money and use it to further fund my vacation that I am going on in the next week , they can think they helped and they will feel better. (I could put their money towards the ring and use my own towards the trip to Bermuda and not increase the price of the ring but it is essentially the same thing) 2.) I could accept their offer and add it to my budget or 3.) I could just turn them down but then I risk hurting their feelings.

I am going to a wedding soon (evening wedding) and I was wondering what kinds of plans people make after a wedding. For example hangout after the wedding his house or mine? Or just go home? Or something else? We both live at home with out parent so out options are kinda limited

I'm going to a wedding with a guy at the end of July, and the groom (his friend) suggested that we match. Is that necessary? Now my date is very much into wanting to know if he has a tie that works with my dress? Does it sound like he is into me? My dress is seafoam green, I don't have much of an opinion if we match or not but he's really into it

Me and my bf have been together for 7 years. We've always talked about marriage and proposals and how important a special moment is for me, all though ultimately I would be happy to marry him any way, I am not happy about the way it all happened. Firstly, he's always talked about my "dream proposal" and how he's going to out so much thought and planning into it. However, his proposal was not love filled, nor was it romantic or special. I told him I loved him, he said I love you too and I say how much (just something I say) and he starts grunting then says "ugh here man take it" and he opened a box and handed me the ring, nothing sentimental was Said? Of course I said ok . He didn't even ask me to marry him nor did he get on his knee He then got me a fake ring, not that it mattered but he knew how inportant a loving proposal meant and I am allergic to fake jewelry. Not sure how fake it is but I went to a jewelry store looking for matching bands and the jeweler told me the ring was fake Or the diamonds were at least. And I'm really not even sure.. I just feel like he did the bare minimum of everything just to get that part over with. Never got a one knee or anything and I really don't like the ring. Please don't disrespect me I like what I like and he knows what I like. And no I am not ungrateful I wear the ring everyday faithfully but if he knew what I was expecting from what he said he was going to do am I wrong for being disappointed?

I'm getting married in September. I'm thinking of posting all of my guests gifts they will give us. This way everybody knows how much other people are giving. MY FIANCÉE is against this but there's no pressure people can give what they want
