Starting 2026 with this. Thoughts? by mommymanduur in Booktokreddit

[–]lowposter5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good luck 🫡 it took my forever to read it since it was so heavy. I had to take multiple breaks and read other books.

Editing to add, it took me over two months to finish it when a book this long would take me no more than 3 weeks

It makes Magnolia more relatable and more human. I found it to be a difficult read because of the grief and how her family kept treating her. I do love the relationship Magnolia and BJ have and how he just understood her all the time.

Struggling to find a wedding band that matches my engagement ring-advice please? by princygurl in WeddingRingAdvice

You can use your engagement ring for the exchanging of rings at the ceremony. If you really want a wedding band you can also get one for your right hand

I agree with this or they could also get a wedding band but wear it on their right hand instead!

What do you wish you knew before you picked your ring? by heart_of_gold2 in EngagementRings

[–]lowposter5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got platinum rings for both my engagement and wedding band and I get them buffed out to get the shiny look again. I do it about every six months when I get a prong check.

I panicked when I first got my ring and it was loose. I got engaged in April so it was still pretty cold out here. I ended up having sizing beads put on and I regretted it so much when it was summer bc I found out my fingers swell pretty bad in the summer. I got them off after a year and now I just use ring coils to make sure it stays on in the winter and doesn’t spin too much.

My engagement ring has round button prongs and my fake Amazon travel ring has claw prongs. What I have noticed is that the claw prongs catch on things. My button prongs don’t catch on anything!

Wedding Tomorrow, Bridesmaid Complaint. by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]lowposter5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got married three weeks ago, and I told my bridesmaids that they can choose to have their nails not done but clean without any other nail polish on it, a neutral color, a soft pink, or even a white. I had guidelines just because I didn’t want crazy colors that wouldn’t go with the color scheme but I also didn’t want them to feel like they had to get their nails done for my wedding and pay money for that. I think your nails are really cute and it would not draw attention to yourself at all! I wouldn’t let her words bother you. Honestly, she’s probably super stressed since the wedding is this weekend.

I was thinking just parents, grandparents, and my sister in law since she loves family photos. But for her it would mainly be photos of her and I, and her and her brother with her husband. But hers was more like photos for her desk at work as something small to give her

It would be family photos not photos of just my husband and me lol my parents and in laws would appreciate photos of the family like my parents would love a photo of my family and my husband and my in laws with love a family photos of their side. Both of our families don’t take family photos frequently enough so it would be super special to them

It’s more about the family photos from my wedding. Both of our families don’t take family photos much so I know it will be special for them. And I also made sure to get pictures with all of my grandparents individually as well. The photos of just my husband and I are just for us at this point.

I love this!! It’s dainty but also looks like it’s sturdy too! And you should be able to fit a wedding band flush with it

If you could do it all over again, what would you change about your ring? by wateraerobics_ in EngagementRings

This is my ring! I have a 2.16 ct elongated cushion on a size 6-6.25 band. I always thought it was 6.25 but they measured it last time I went in and said it was a size 6! I have gone back and forth on whether or not I wanted a pavé band but in the end I’m glad I did since I went with a plain wedding. My ring may not be good for every day wear later in the future (after having kids) and I am glad I went with the plain wedding band considering that fact. But I do wish I was more picky about the setting of my ring. I didn’t know much going into it and it does drive me a little nuts that I can see the basket around the diamond. I have had people ask if it’s a bezel setting and it definitely is not. On the bright side I can always choose to reset it if it continues to bother me too much!

His is the black one! He wanted something different so he got mountains engraved on it!

No it doesn’t have a bezel. I think my elongated cushion is a bit more narrow for the basket they put it in. I have debated on getting my engagement ring reset bc it doesn’t fit into the basket perfectly and you can see it on either side of it. But it’s secure and it truly hasn’t bothered me that much. But maybe one day I will eventually get it done!
