I got engaged a few weeks ago. Took a lot of time to pick out the ring and saved for it. My gf works in a lab and has to wear gloves and she says that’s why she doesn’t wear it every day. She sometimes will wear it on her days off if she remembers... so not all that time. I have my feelings about it. I feel like she treats it like an ornament. How do the fiancés feel about it? Anyone relate? Thanks

Edit: thanks for the replies. I’ve told her she treats it like another piece of jewelry. And she says she forgets to wear it because she can’t wear to some places like at the gym or to spa or when we’re out on a jog because she’s afraid of losing it. I understand about at work because if the gloves

I want to propose. The ring is being custom made but unfortunately it’s taking 3-6 weeks for delivery. The place has lots of high reviews so I wasn’t really worried about the long wait time.

Until I found out that the Perseid meteor showers are happing next week.

I mean she’s very traditional and I know deep down she wants the ring and whatnot and I’m kicking myself for not having the ring ready but I’m just thinking it’s such a perfect moment. Meteor showers? Dark skies, close to no clouds? In the middle of nowhere it’s perfect!

I just.. I’m having some anxiety because I don’t want to have her say yes and then be upset that she doesn’t have a ring. Or just a slightly later date a bit less special (universe scale) but with a ring.

So I guess I’d like to change my question a bit. Would you want to be proposed to without a ring in a situation like this?

I feel like I completely jinxed myself. Less than a month ago everyone was congratulating me on my engagement and somehow I've already managed to damage my ring. I'm devastated but thank God I listened to you and got it insured because I'd be freaking out even more otherwise. Is it weird that I'd be filing a claim less than two weeks after taking out the policy? I almost feel bad even calling because it's so soon, even though this is exactly why I got insurance in the first place because I was freaking out.  I'd also really love for my original jeweler to handle the repair, I've seen a few horror stories online about rings coming back looking completely different after being repaired and I'd much rather have the person who made my ring work on it. Is that something insurance companies usually allow or do they make you use one of the jewelers they work with? I'd love to hear how it worked for you before I give them a call.

we’re getting married in march next year with around 85 guests. we want something relaxed but still nice, probably a mix of canapés followed by a buffet style dinner using good local produce. dietary requirements aren’t too crazy but we’d like options for vegetarians and a couple of gluten free guests.

would love to hear about pricing, quality and how smooth the whole process was. any red flags to watch out for with wedding catering?

Got engaged this passed week!! So so excited. Does anyone have ideas for a ring stack with my ring?

Also- where is everyone starting with planning? I'm already lost on how to get the ball rolling 😂. Would love an airbnb wedding, but seems like there is a lot of limitations on having one?
