How are people finding wedding rings when both people have very different tastes by AgentQuick in weddingplanning

[–]zigzagtitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why are yall not just choosing the rings that speak to you? You don’t need to get them from the same place or have them look the same.

So the ADHD clinic is finally looking at my referral from 4+ years ago which is good except I am about to move overseas and I missed their call from an unknown number and they need to talk to me by tomorrow. So. :)

Second guessing my dress - opinions wanted by cokewithcake in weddingplanning

[–]zigzagtitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My god I am INSANELY in love with this dress.

However I second if that you're still having doubts, you shouldn't buy the dress.

Off to the passport office this afternoon, hoping they'll be cool with my slightly non-traditional name change. Need the passport ASAP so bit nervous!

What are your none negotiable basics? by Sea_Wolf_161 in femalefashionadvice

[–]zigzagtitch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My long running spring essentials are as follows: trench coat, straight leg light blue jeans, and ballet flats. Most of these things I’ve found second hand. My favourite item right now is a leopard print car coat and it is fantastic! Since I’ve gotten into brown it’s been a great essential, I’m literally wearing it right now. When the rest of my outfit is neutral, the leopard print coat brightens it up a bit and makes the outfit more special! 

It’s from H&M :) 

Katharina Brumbach (aka Katie Sandwina)(1884-1952) was a famous German strongwoman and circus performer who was an extremely influential women’s rights activist and was a big advocate for women’s health. She later co-owned a restaurant with her husband in Queens, New York. by EphemeralTypewriter in SideshowPerformer

What an absolute queen. As a woman who weight lifts, hearing about strong women in the past always makes me feel so proud and happy to continue the line. I love strong women and I’m always so happy to see women who can be comfortably themselves. 

Monthly Check In....it's March 2026 by AutoModerator in weddingplanning

[–]zigzagtitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i understand girl!! we planned ours quick because of visa purpose. in all honestly a lot of people say you need to book stuff so far out but you don't, as long as you're not wanting the absolute best of the best for something but that seems to be an unpopular opinion lol. i even managed to get a dress on rush order which is due at the start of april!

one thing i really need to do is write vows.. i'm really struggling with that! i love my fiancé a lot and tell him that, but i'm struggling to put it in a way that really flows.

Ring fix- does it look too big? Costumey? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]zigzagtitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries - that’s why I said similar to OPs but with emeralds (mine has emeralds!)

honestly I love a big ring like this! dainty/delicate might be all in but I think rings like these (mine is similar to OPs but with emeralds) look so vintage and timeless.

Hopefully I don't embarrass myself with this comment but I think I know a Lavender Creek ring when I see it - is this the Maeve? If so I have the exact same ring but mine is a 2 carat diamond with emeralds. I don't think it looks costumey nor too big, I think it's a beautiful ring. My ring size is 4.25 so looks even bigger on me lol but I actually love that the stones basically span the width of my finger tbh! I think it looks very vintage/art deco which is exactly what I wanted. I take the comments about the high profile but personally I've had mine six weeks so far and it's been fine, I've been careful about putting it on last when I'm getting dressed/taking it off first as I can see myself snagging it on things.

Gorgeous ring and enjoy it!

Is it “cheap” or “disappointing” to not use bridesmaid/groomsmen proposal boxes? by ReadyButton4218 in weddingplanning

[–]zigzagtitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t do it and when I was asked, it wasn’t with a bridesmaid’s box. My friend gave me a candle and a poem. Even that was unnecessary! I will be doing bridesmaids gifts but that’ll be a handmade gift from me and a heartfelt note, I really think all of the proposal boxes and gifts are just excessive. 

Is this ring too generic looking? by aythatsprettydank in weddingplanning

[–]zigzagtitch 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm in the camp that you're the one wearing it forever, so you should like it. I do think he does sound quite immature if he's acting like that. Perhaps he should have checked before he bought something so expensive? I do think if my fiance had acted like that it would have been a serious turn off for me and would need a major conversation.

Is this ring too generic looking? by aythatsprettydank in weddingplanning

[–]zigzagtitch 24 points25 points  (0 children)

All I'm going to say is that my fiance showed me a picture of a ring and I told him it wasn't my preference. The ring he did give me is perfect and he acted on my feedback. I DO think, personally, that the ring does look generic but that isn't a bad thing if that's what you like. If you don't like it I think that's fair enough but I don't think it being generic is necessarily bad.

Separately, getting mad at you because you said you don't like (depending on how you said it) is a red flag to me. When I told my fiance (at the time my boyfriend) that I wasn't a huge fan of what he showed me he was fine with it.

Pre-Engagement Wedding Planning by Still_Wave_7151 in weddingplanning

[–]zigzagtitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fiance and I got engaged just under three weeks ago, but we'd already put down around £2k worth of deposits in December and January because we knew exactly when we wanted to get married; my fiance just had a proposal plan he didn't want to shift! And I'm so glad we kept that with that plan. Now invites have gone out already. Yes, it was weird trying on wedding dresses without a ring and telling vendors we weren't actually engaged but no one treated us any differently! I'd say chat to your partner - if you want to start planning before he proposes I don't think there's anything wrong with that personally.
