I want to propose to my gf but I can't decide how much I should spend on a ring and would like to get some suggestions on what you guys might have paid so I can make a call I know I want it to be $500 or more but I just don't know how much would be to much. not that I would not give her the most expensive one if I could I just don't wanna put to much into it that I feel it was a burden like I would not mind spending $3,000 on a ring for her but at the same time if I could have bought a ring for $1,000 at lest we could have used the rest to make it awesome what do you guys think. I need this advise I make 28k a year to put this **** into perspective I can take care of myself same with her but i wanna do this on my own I want it to be a surprise cause I only get to propose once and I don't wanna wait years cause as you see I make **** money but I fear what people think I fear that she will just think I could not afford a good enough ring. you know sorry about my fears yall. just want to thank you all for your advice and the guy who showed me I put advise not advice lol. if I could have gave you all best answer I would have.

Friends tricked minister to marry them, against his wishes. They planned wedding rehearsal, vows exchanges, witnesses. Event planned as rehearsal, but technically a marriage. (some knew beforehand it might be a wedding, myself and others) _____ Minister of church, not for same-sex marriage. Stated he will attend but MARRY them. Against his beliefs. Went along with wedding rehearsal. He stated "do you..." then repeated. Everything but rings exchanged (rings not needed for marriage, but is usually exchanged) 10+ Witnesses = friends, family. Pictures ______ They still have FULL WEDDING planned for summer 2019. Do they need it. (normal rehearsal doesn't include vows) They wanted him to marry them, witnesses. He refuses to acknowledge, paperwork.

I m a childfree individual, and the best choice for me is to have my tubes surgically removed. I m going to have to pay for about 20 percent of the procedure out of pocket. I ve been sure about this decision for a good, long time, and I know that if I ever choose motherhood, I want to adopt an older child. I was abused, and if parenthood calls to me, I want to help a child who was hurt. I ve also consulted my doctor and mental health professional, who have each given me the green light. I m not religious, nor is my mom, and after a few years, she has started to accept that she s not getting any grandkids from me. (She already has 4 lol!) But I do live with her, and I don t know how to cope with the shame if she disagrees with my decision... I was going to wait 2 and a half years until I m booted off of her catholic based insurance policy and get it done for free, but with the changes of abortion laws in my state of ohio, I m no longer willing to risk it. I m a virgin and will probably happily stay that way for a while, but you never know what life can throw at you. How can I get my mom to side with me? She is usually a very nice and understanding person, what can I do to make it do she isn t ashamed of me or upset with me? She is the only person whose opinion I care about besides my own.
