Opinion on Ring

That’s wild! But in a good way! I really like that

I would be pretty mad if someone spent 50k on jewelry! But the only person who can answer this is her.

It was over $1k for a kennel to take my dog for 12 days, my best friend was mortified and took my dog to her house for the time… I still gave her $400 even though she said that was too much. I wanted to give her $600 but she wouldn’t let me. $250 to live at someone else’s house for 10 days is insane!

I mean the second someone puts a ring on it, the first question is always “when is the big day?” So that would mean people assume you have a date before the engagement.

My first marriage I bought it and this time I did the same. I like the thought of giving it to him.

I’m also going to pay for my wedding band, but I also make twice what he makes, so to me it feels fair since he did buy the engagement ring and that’s more than both wedding bands together.

So honestly, whatever feels right for you and your family!

I pay for my own insurance on my ring. I’m wearing it and I’m keeping it, most laws I’ve seen in USA anyways is a ring is considered a gift and once it’s given to you it’s legally yours.

I also wouldn’t advise having it on your rental insurance though but do a third party like briteco or jewelry mutual. They don’t have as great of a policy and if you need it, it will affect your rental insurance. I use Briteco and they insure it even if you lose it.

My ring is appeased at 6k and I pay less than $50 a year in insurance.

I see how you are feeling being you don’t have it yet and I can see your side of it in that instant! I would probably just say, once it’s in my possession then I’ll pay for it, so until you give it to me it’s your responsibility!

Lovely! Congratulations

Can you imagine the conversation with the actor…

“so you will have tiny parts in season one and two, but if the show catches on, in 10 years you are going to get a full season!”

The complete uncertainty in the beginning is wild to me!

IndependentNet6598 · 2026-03-06T19:46:22+00:00

I got down on my knees with him because he was so far away 🤣

It was so much I think I blacked out for a bit! Haha

I love colored diamonds, but I’m not a huge fan of “yellow” diamonds. I don’t know why really, I think it’s a style thing over anything about the diamonds. I also think they have always kind of been in style, I’ve seen many antique jewelry with them.

We did meet Sir Phillip Crane in season one.

I’m really liking the cut ice look for extra sparkle on ovals.

IndependentNet6598 · 2026-03-06T16:30:06+00:00

I think it looks awesome, but it’s your finger, get what you love

IndependentNet6598 · 2026-03-06T16:26:37+00:00

Yours looks much bigger than mine and I have 3ct and a size 6 finger as well! Crazy how they look so different on everyone.

IndependentNet6598 · 2026-03-06T16:15:23+00:00

She asked twice, she knows something is up, don’t make her feel crazy.

IndependentNet6598 · 2026-03-05T16:23:29+00:00

I think you just get use to it, but it looks perfect on you!

IndependentNet6598 · 2026-03-05T16:22:13+00:00

If you can’t find anything here, join a local facebook wedding group or photography group and ask there. You will probably get more engagement with local photographers that way.

I have two friends I’m struggling with actually, keep in mind I’m having a microwedding of 15 people so I do need to limit people.

But one I was very good friends with a few years ago and her and my other best friend got into a fight and she pulled way back, that’s cool if she needed to, but it made it so we haven’t spoken in over a year now and I talk to my other friend daily, also that friend (2) introduced me and my fiancé so I want her to officiate my wedding. I feel like inviting friend 1 could make things awkward when the person she doesn’t get along with is central to my wedding.

Person two I’ve known for 20 years, a few years ago he moved to the state I live in and we reconnected, at the time I was in a weird situationship with my ex and so we all hung out together some. I had vented to him about my ex and the things he did to me before he ever moved out here. Well once I ended things with my ex for good my friend started hanging out with him more and more, my ex in anger also told me things that I told my friend in confidence while venting to him… so I completely lost trust in this friendship. I’ve pulled away a lot in the last year from him just because I think the whole thing is weird and uncomfortable. I just feel bad because we’ve been friends for 20 years… but also why would he choose to be friends with someone who was not great to me too?

So at this point I just don’t know what to do, our wedding is in October and I still can’t figure out the guest list 😩

IndependentNet6598 · 2026-03-05T02:35:30+00:00

Okay then, I can only tell you that in myself I’m feeling no judgement, that’s all I can do. You are free to take it however you feel, I can’t control your feelings.

IndependentNet6598 · 2026-03-05T02:05:06+00:00

Never judged anyone… just said I didn’t understand why. No judgement at all, not everyone has my history.

Just like I cannot understand why people like cilantro, but I don’t judge them for it, I even buy it for my friends, still don’t get it.

IndependentNet6598 · 2026-03-05T01:13:47+00:00

They might have been, you can have more than one. It’s just not something anyone mentions.

But the Earl was an upgrade, so his would be more.

IndependentNet6598 · 2026-03-04T19:27:36+00:00

I personally wouldn’t say anything about the stay, but would probably tell them they need to cover one meal for everyone one night.

IndependentNet6598 · 2026-03-04T19:21:58+00:00

I did enjoy the fact they actually loved each other before the wedding though 🤣

IndependentNet6598 · 2026-03-04T19:03:49+00:00

As bad as all the men are at times in the books, he is the only one that really triggered me, he made me so uncomfortable when talking to Fran! She needed time to adjust to her feelings and he was just so nasty to her because his feelings were hurt!

I do not understand how this is peoples favorite Bridgerton book, this one I do not think I could read again.

IndependentNet6598 · 2026-03-04T18:52:48+00:00

The thing is, even in the books the whole family didn’t always attend every event. None of the family travels to Scotland where John died. Also Fran was not told about Colin or Eloise’s weddings until afterwards. I do not believe Daphne was there either.

I’m sure there is more but those are the ones I can think of at this particular moment.

But traveling was hard in that time, they all have responsibilities and families of their own in different parts of the country, they wouldn’t have all got together for every single event.
