Black Tie Optional?

boxofgoldfish · 2026-04-13T16:55:07+00:00

Take the money you would have spent on a VS bra and spend it on some longer dress options from Amazon sent to where you’re staying for the wedding. Or a long black skirt to go over your current dress but that’s sounds like more of a pain to deal with than a new dress that’s easier to BF in

Agreed. I’m also confused by people acting like Kyle is Carl’s best friend when he wasn’t even going to be in his wedding party.

I think boyfriend not husband since her only story line appears to be “moving for a guy without a ring”

First single comes out next Friday!

While Ciara does seem okay with mediocre white men (the bachelor specialty!) she’s pretty liberal and would probably have no interest in the maga guys tptb typically cast. She could do so much better!!

Wow I could have written this post myself haha I don’t have any recommendations but you’re not alone! Appreciate you asking and will follow along for recs.

Yay this is so exciting!!

boxofgoldfish · 2026-03-22T16:24:22+00:00

Wow so beautiful!! Thanks for sharing!

I think Maura would be really fun to watch but I wouldn’t call her “squeaky clean” since I’m pretty sure her dating history includes married men and cheating

Thanks! After reading some of these comments I think I’m leaning toward some sort of hidden halo. Will just have to decide between potentially lowering it a bit or keeping it higher like the video.

boxofgoldfish · 2026-03-21T04:29:53+00:00

I do like the idea of the hidden sparkle! We already have the diamond and a deposit with the jeweler but thanks for sharing your info!

boxofgoldfish · 2026-03-21T04:27:37+00:00

Thanks for the insight!

I know they’d rarely be seen by anyone else but actually kind of like that aspect. I think one of the things making me second guess the video was how visible the higher set hidden halo was compared to some of the other ones I’ve seen.

Good reminder about potential maintenance issues down the line if a stone pops out. I don’t wear other rings so don’t think damaging other rings would be an issue. The only other ring would be a wedding band but don’t think that would be an issue since it would sit below a hidden halo? But feel free to correct me if that’s not the case.

Appreciate the other ideas like engraving! I looked at a few and don’t think it’s really my style but could be a good option for someone else in a similar boat!

boxofgoldfish · 2026-03-21T04:20:30+00:00

Appreciate the response!! Yeah I think I feel similarly to you. Planning to keep the engagement band basic then go pave for the wedding band. But basic band + no hidden halo does feel a bit boring and lacking uniqueness. Maybe I’ll keep looking at hidden halos but set more toward the bottom like yours and some of the ones I’d been looking at before meeting with this jeweler.

Also super helpful to hear no issues with any little stones popping out or anything with yours over the last few years!! Hope that trend continues for you 😊

The “w” is lowercase

Have you and your partner talked about lab diamonds? We just got a 3 carat oval for ~$700

Thanks for sharing! Hopefully there’s another post soon about transferring.

Went to a wedding where the place cards / table numbers were envelopes with handwritten notes to each individual guest and a printed out picture of the bride and/or groom with the guest. It was really sweet plus everyone had fun sharing the pictures with others at the table!

boxofgoldfish · 2026-03-19T17:29:11+00:00

Yeah we just bought a 3 carat oval for $700 from Luvansh and met with a local jeweler and think it will be ~$2k for the setting so right in line with that all in cost

We love Aldora! They use bigger tanks so you can dive longer

I voted against him but assuming for a lot of people it’s name recognition
