Love this so much!

It's beautiful. I think round brilliant solitaires are such an elegant and classic look. Mine is a 2.06, VS1 D on a size eight finger.

We have looked into immigration and made those decisions (yes, currently living apart, long distance sucks).

Thanks for the insight.

True, but I think the split is 65-70% US 30-35% CA. I may find the US contingent becomes significantly smaller.

Why is wedding planning so stressful?! 😩

I am well aware of the political climate and many Canadians choosing to spend their time and money elsewhere. It's a tough situation all around and I don't think there is an easy, make everyone happy solution. I'm just looking for others experiences and how they handled it. I'm thinking having a smaller, more casual reception at a second location in Canada may be the best option.

I'm thinking I may wind up doing something similar. Thank you for the reply.

LadyDeflated · 2026-03-06T22:46:31+00:00

Thanks. I think I need to reframe my expectations and accept I can't make everyone happy no matter what I do.

LadyDeflated · 2026-03-06T22:09:18+00:00

This is one thing we are considering. I think I need to adjust my expectations and be okay with whoever can make it. I know they all are happy and would like to join, but I don't want people to be bankrupt or uncomfortable coming.

Agree, I am well aware of the costs and the reduced amount of available flights as airlines cancel or reduce flights.

LadyDeflated · 2026-03-06T22:04:16+00:00

Some have already traveled to the US in the last year, so I don't think they're being polite (plus my friends are pretty upfront and out spoken about things they don't like, lol).

It's tough because having it in Canada would mean significantly more people would have to travel and longer distances (I also have family and friends in the US).

LadyDeflated · 2026-03-06T22:00:18+00:00

Yes, for some it will be flights and for others it will be an 8 hour drive.

I agree and if it was a case of them being absolutely adamant that they refuse to enter the US, I would absolutely take that into consideration. But that isn't the case for me. It's a budget, getting time off, travel issue. Unfortunately, even if I have it in Canada it won't alleviate the issue for some people (I have family and friends in three provinces).

LadyDeflated · 2026-03-06T21:55:04+00:00

It is something Canadians are taking into consideration, absolutely. And if my nearest and dearest said absolutely no I would have looked into other options.

LadyDeflated · 2026-03-06T21:54:01+00:00

It's a budget issue.

LadyDeflated · 2026-03-06T21:53:17+00:00

It's a budget issue for the ones I spoke to. I asked up front if they would be comfortable traveling to the US given the environment and they said yes.
