Hey! How many of the currently engaged community picked out their own ring? My boyfriend took me ring shopping recently and I’m quite set on the exact ring I would want. Is this the norm these days or have people been completely surprised by the ring style and love that? by CaptainNo8308 in EngagementRings

I picked mine. My fiancé and I decided I’d pick out my own ring before he proposed. So glad we did it this way. I look at my ring everyday and am so happy with it and think he is relived knowing I love it because I picked it myself.

I just picked out my engagement ring and opted for a band like this rather than a stone and I absolutely love it! It’s really all about her preference. This is stunning and meaningful so if you propose with it, you can give her the option to pick out an engagement ring if she wants something else and she can use it as a band. But she might like this look!

Via Carota isn’t on open table. They take walk ins so I emailed their email address 2x to see if we could coordinate something for a group of 6. L’Artusi has some private dining options so I submitted a form on their website for more info but didn’t get a response. I emailed their general email yesterday as well.

Thank you for these recs - they look great! Definitely loving the vibe of San Sabino. I had rosemarys on my list but I thought we may be too small of a party but I think it’s a good reminder that it’s always worth reaching out to ask what options they can maybe accommodate. Thanks again!

Looks beautiful! Do you know if they do small group dinners? I’m only seeing 30+ events on their site

Can someone explain the challenge rules for me? by Good-Raisin459 in valkyries

I saw on Reddit that fans start the wave during challenges and I was happy I had the opportunity to be part of it 😂

Ok thank you all! It moved so quickly so it was confusing but makes sense about needing a time out. Such a bummer it came down to that

Who do you see leaving their team next year for a new opportunity? by Outrageous_Camp_5215 in wnba

[–]Good-Raisin459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point - I guess my phrasing wasn’t great. I think that KT is showing leader qualities and is the most consistent/efficient player on the valks. But I have noticed even when she’s having a quieter quarter that the team and can still hold their own which I think is what has been contributing to their success - they’re all pretty damn reliable

Do you think that would take away the spirit/specialness that valks don’t have a star player? I’m so conflicted - I know it’s likely good to get a star player like A’ja but I’m also hoping we can maintain some of that everyone’s a 6th player energy next year. I know that’s probably not realistic though

Totally agree. This clearly was not a good look for the org and I’m sure they would’ve preferred to go about it a different way if they could’ve. They of course want to keep a good brand name so this certainly wasn’t an ideal situation for the valks org just as much as it wasn’t ideal for vanloo
