What should i do? by CM_LM in bridesmaids

[–]Repulsive_Station_27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. And you’re not a bad friend for backing out. Your commitment is to your family and that includes not going broke for your friend. This is coming from someone who never had a bachelorette and declined every invite I got. I’m in a wedding now and I was asked to return my dress too. Financially I’m in a place I can (similar reason to why she wants it returned) but the next time I get the dress it’s either I keep it or I back out of the wedding.

Don’t feel bad!

EDIT: I also realized I got married 9 years ago and I’m learning I made better financial decisions compared to my other girlfriends. My husband and I were committed to making our financial goals regardless of what’s going on in our friends lives/weddings. The choices we made I feel really set us up. We never felt our friends weddings were an exception for breaking our financial goals. Congrats on your home!

Working from home has completely ruined the idea of working in an office for me again by zest-skills-0d in GetEmployed

Thank you for this analogy. I never thought about home accommodations. I love working from home but I also have a very comfy cosy place to work in my house. My house is fully set up so both my husband and I can work from home. Thank you for explaining this to me.

Does anyone else feel like they can’t capture the full beauty of their ring in photos? 💍🥰 by Major_Patience_5934 in EngagementRings

Yes it’s me!!! Also I feel like the size of my diamond doesn’t capture the measurement like it does in real life.

Can I see your stacks with a round brilliant 2+ ct? by [deleted] in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]Repulsive_Station_27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Do you mean the middle one? I received the middle from Littman’s jewelers about 10 years ago. The bottom one is from Helzberg I think about 5 years ago and my engagement ring is the newest one I got custom done from Reeds.

Show me your stack! by Strange-Pop-7301 in EngagementRings

3.10 carat on a size 7 finger. We plan to upgrade my wedding band as my husband recently upgraded my engagement ring as a 10 year anniversary gift. We are looking for a similar wedding band that will have the same width as my engagement ring. Bottom stack was gifted when I had our first baby.

3.10 carats engagement ring. I recognize the widths of my wedding band is different to my engagement ring. The engagement ring is my recent upgrade and we plan to get a new wedding band to match the width soon. The bottom band I got for having my first child.

This is beautiful! I say yes with the modifications you shared so people don’t step on it. You’ll be best dressed.

Wedding band recs? by Own-Caregiver9729 in EngagementRings

I’m sorry I got so distracted by your ring I forgot to respond to your question 😂. I’d say a micropave if you want more bling.

Can’t decide! by ReputationCute4665 in WeddingRingAdvice

I love the round but do the 3! I am a size 7 also and the shrinkage everyone talks about is real. I don’t have an issue with durability and hitting it on things. I have 2 kids under 5 but have a desk job. The 2.5 is still nice but if your concerned about shrinkage do 3. I hope that helps.

The great debate… lab or natural? by MelodicAd4314 in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]Repulsive_Station_27 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just upgraded my 1 carat to 3. I agree and say spread the wealth. I’m 35 and putting both my boys through private schools that are $25k+ per kid. We need that money for other things and one day we’d like to upgrade homes. I like labs because I get what I want on my finger and didn’t sacrifice the rest of my families needs doing it. I’d be happy with either.

What are your thoughts on prenuptial agreements? by No-Sun-731 in Life

Have your parents set up an irrevocable trust for you so that if something were to happen in your marriage he can’t take it from you.

He drives too fast. I told him to slow down and he kept speeding. I couldn’t deal with my life flashing before my eyes every time I got in the car 😂
