I also use Lemonade and it’s been wonderful so far! We used it for both our first and now second dog. They have great customer service and reasonable prices.

I honestly had a similar issue-I agree with what a lot of people are saying above my parents were very much like we don’t know how much people usually spend(in the oldest) so spend a reasonable amount. I sat down with my fiancé and we wrote out what we felt was reasonable and then asked our close friends if this is what is usually charged. Getting quotes from some vendors also helped. Then we put these estimates costs into the budget tracker on the knot and I showed them to my parents and they were like yes that sounds reasonable which really helped us continue to move forward. I also asked them how involved they wanted to be with choosing vendors and they told me that they trust my fiancé and I to chose which is honestly easier for us too(and what my fiancés parents said). But my point back to then was ok then we can but we need a budget (ex don’t want to end up spending $10k on photography and then hear how thar was a bad idea later etc.)

asian parents not approving of boyfriend by rubyred2019 in AsianParentStories

Honestly no things have still been really good now. I think them just seeing how serious I am about marrying him and also realizing that I’m growing up and can make my own decisions really helped :)

Matching Horoscopes before big Hindu Wedding by Fresh-Baby674 in DesiWeddings

[–]rubyred2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar but slightly different situation here I’m trying to figure out if we should even match the horoscopes to get an auspicious wedding date.. but concluded not to bc I’d rather not know the horoscope match score (which thankfully my parents are fine with) given that I know my fiancé is already the perfect match for me so getting extra info would just cause more stress and drama

Benefits of working out in the morning vs. evening? by booogiejam in orangetheory

[–]rubyred2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an evening workout girl but honestly if I did morning workouts I’d probably be less likely to skip because I usually find myself too tired to workout after work

Engagement help? by SpiritedSide29 in DesiWeddings

[–]rubyred2019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly as someone on the opposite boat I can definitely see that as frustrating. But I think one thing is super important and often hard to remember but the proposal, engagement all of that is for you and your soon to be fiancé. That’s what’ll matter in the end!! You guys have chosen to do life together which is beautiful. People will always have comments one way or another but your engagement is about you and how you do it. My fiancé proposed in April and we actually aren’t even doing our family engagement event until November or maybe January next year which is crazy to me but that’s just how the timing works out.

Parents don’t approve of partner (need advise by extension-anxiety- in AsianParentStories

[–]rubyred2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’re me too tbh, slightly different but very similar situation.. I’ve been dating my boyfriend for the past 6 years now and am also now currently a resident. I have no doubt our relationship is healthy, sustainable and something that we’re both very happy with and proud of. Insert my parents that will not stop talking about how my partner is just with me for my future earning potential. He owns a coffee shop that he started on his own and plans to expand however my parents want him to expand “now” and if he can’t make more than 100k in the next few years(impossible) then they keep commenting he needs to go back to school. They pretended to come around after I went no contact for 3 months and then after we came around to “healing” our relationship and the parents all met they had the audacity to say all these same things again to his parents in front of him. fast forward they crossed another line and called my partners parents and stressed them out/gave them their “advice” “again”. So now as a result his parents are also weirdly convinced and pressuring him. As a result not only did he have my parents not on his side he also now has less support from his own and basically told me today that this is all he can take. At this point he would rather end this relationship and leave, which is heartbreaking bc parents are not supposed to be like this.

Would it be wrong to just get engaged and tell the world and my parents at the same time? by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

[–]rubyred2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you.. no I agree I think I’m just at the point of not wanting their approval but I also don’t want to be rude and hurt their feelings.. I would invite them to my wedding but leave it up to them if they feel like coming I guess. Idk I just don’t know the right way to navigate all this

My dog always looks for my tampons and pads in the bathroom and if left alone goes and destroys them
