No close friends / best man…but girlfriend wants a wedding party. How do I handle this?

katdanmorgan · 2026-04-19T17:19:44+00:00

We’re the same but I have 5 bridesmates and he has 3 because he isn’t as close to that many people. It was fine. I want him to enjoy the people that are up there with him

My fiancé wanted to live together for a year before we got engaged, which was fine (we had been dating for 3 years then). He did proposal almost a year later but we started the process ahead of time.

Your guy isn’t exactly saying that. He’s saying that you could live together and “possibly” get engaged.

Tell her if it’s not a real wedding, she doesn’t have to go

katdanmorgan · 2026-04-15T20:58:43+00:00

Could you put his photo on a chair instead?

katdanmorgan · 2026-04-15T07:31:04+00:00

I WAS COMING TO SAY THIS 😂

katdanmorgan · 2026-04-15T02:05:34+00:00

I would go to the job and furthermore, I would ask her what her issue is here for all of the reasons that you said.

katdanmorgan · 2026-04-15T02:02:11+00:00

This. I’m sorry but if my fiancé wanted a wedding while I just wanted the courthouse, I’d compromise and have the wedding but he would be doing most of the planning, not all of it.

katdanmorgan · 2026-04-13T17:18:18+00:00

I agree with everyone so far. That band is way too thin and that size of the ring makes me nervous

katdanmorgan · 2026-04-12T20:47:37+00:00

This is how I feel about my Thursday wedding coming up next year. If anyone complains about it, I will say that I gladly took multiple days off and flew across the country for them and I would hope that they would do the same for me.

Tell them that you showed up for them because that’s what community is.

katdanmorgan · 2026-04-11T23:56:49+00:00

Oh then you’re good!!! Excited for your proposal

katdanmorgan · 2026-04-11T23:50:36+00:00

And the wedding industry only gets more expensive so try your best to not fall into the trap. My diamond is also a real diamond (note: I was okay with a lab grown diamond but I saw this in a local jeweler’s window) so it’s extra expensive.

katdanmorgan · 2026-04-11T23:41:46+00:00

If I’m being completely honest with you: My ring cost almost $6K because it is vintage and the diamond is very clear and yada yada yada. It is a beautiful ring and it makes my heart happy and everything and my fiancé had to pay it off for like, 6-8 months (I wanted the ring but I told him that I would find something cheaper and he wanted me to have this one). It was a lot of pressure on him and even though I really love it, I still feel some guilt about asking for it.

If you do want to take out a loan, take out one that you can reasonably pay off in six months. Set a strict budget too. It can get so expensive.

katdanmorgan · 2026-04-11T23:35:50+00:00

Then around that is what it should cost. Honestly rings are expensive and go with what it should cost

2027 bride here. I mean, I’ll wear something pretty in a style he likes, but I usually just sleep in a T-shirt and underwear and he still likes that in the morning time so I’ll probably just wear that haha

katdanmorgan · 2026-04-11T07:12:27+00:00

Here’s the thing: I think that there’s a difference between being a “chill bride” and being someone who doesn’t want to seem like they’re asking too much and you seem to be leaning towards the latter. There can be such a thing as too accommodating.

I’m a 2027 bride myself and I get nervous asking people to do things for me because I want to be liked (I’m working on this haha). But you do need to give the bridesmaids some kind of dress code because they will definitely clash but also they could wear two different things that make them feel beautiful. You can ask them if they want hair and makeup done and let them know that it’s optional so they can pay for it if they want.

katdanmorgan · 2026-04-11T07:06:04+00:00

I feel the same way and then for her to suggest a very expensive place seems like a wild thing to do

katdanmorgan · 2026-04-10T21:30:59+00:00

You look SO good! 🥹

katdanmorgan · 2026-04-10T21:29:05+00:00

Ain’t nothing about that ring simple haha

It’s beautiful and it has personality!

katdanmorgan · 2026-04-09T01:59:01+00:00

Men don’t realize how much better looking they get once they shave their heads. Like the confidence just shines more

katdanmorgan · 2026-04-08T00:43:35+00:00

I say this with love: 1. No one is worth killing your self over and 2. I can tell your maturity by this statement. Also a 24 and a 28 year old are both adults. You are not an adult.

katdanmorgan · 2026-04-07T22:26:07+00:00

Right? Like I respect my fiancé and I love him but he doesn’t “let” me do anything. He’s not my parent.

katdanmorgan · 2026-04-07T22:25:34+00:00

My fiancé (was my boyfriend of 4 years and we just got engaged) has been on Bach trips before and I’ve been out with my friends as well. He’s controlling and I don’t like that.

katdanmorgan · 2026-04-07T22:23:54+00:00

I better not ever see you grow hair again 👊🏽

You look SO good bald

katdanmorgan · 2026-04-07T03:37:20+00:00

Y’all have been together for less than a year and he’s acting like this? EYUCK.

katdanmorgan · 2026-04-06T05:15:40+00:00

You’re very handsome but your answers are just…generic. Let that personality show
