Hi Blacksand! You sound like a smart and level-headed person in a great relationship. I was engaged after 9 months of dating, so you won''t get the "only 9 months" lecture from me  It''s a shame about the job situation, but it sounds like you are...

We're having big traditional flower displays with a tall pillar candle in the centre of each. They're costing more than I want to think about (equivalent of $75 apiece?? ack. Lilyfoot, I want to elope too). ETA: about 12 tables. |

Well, I sort of see what he means. When I first joined PS, I was puzzled by the concept of choosing a ring together, knowing he has it, and then being "surprised" by the proposal. It just seemed kind of, well, contrived. (Don''t anyone hit me - I''m just trying to explain where your boyfriend might ... |

I wouldn't. You'd be playing right into his hands. They are adults and can sort it out between themselves. If he calls again, politely interrupt his heart-rending sob story and tell him you prefer to stay out of it. Callisto - I get what you're saying, but if he just wanted to know if she was ok, he... |

Bobbin, I'm so sorry you're having such a rough time. How much money would you actually lose if you cancelled the wedding? (ie how much of the $6500 worth of contracts is non-refundable)? You could still get married - just without all the hoopla of a big wedding. Choro's approach of a simple ceremon... |

No. Obviously not. And neither could anyone with an ounce of self-esteem. Unfortunately, there are plenty of girls without the latter. Hard as it is, it's your friend's decision to make. She's an adult. She knows how he dumped her and why. If he is still badmouthing her now, I would tell her. If not... |

It's a totally personal thing. For me, it was always that I had to have graduated and be earning my own money and supporting myself. After that, it was just waiting to find the right person, which took precisely 18 months, and we were engaged 9 months later http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/images/s... |

Well, I think it really depends on your social circle. I personally wouldn't expect the groom to pay for something like that - but if you've polled a few of your own close friends, and that is their expectation, I would play it safe. Is there any way you could fit the 25 people in your home? You cou... |

Of course it's fine to feel that way. You're human, they're human - that's the nature of human interactions. It only becomes wrong if you act preferentially towards those students. Trust me - it is VERY obvious when teachers do this, and it's a quick way to lose your students' respect. Just guard ag... |

Cinna, I understand what you mean. If that was the case amongst my family/friends, I would simply tell them which vendor I bought it from, without explicitly mentioning it was an online store. If they asked where they were based, I would say which city, and that because of the distance we ordered it... |

Monkeyprincess, only you can know what is right for you. You're certainly not crazy, and many many people try straight after getting married - but you have to make absolutely sure it's what you really want right now, and you won't look back later in life and wonder "what if". I imagine you've worked... |

I am in the UK and my fiance bought my ring from Blue Nile. I tell everyone who asks where it is from - it didn't even occur to me to be ashamed of it!

I agree with Lady Disdain. You know, I think a lot of you who think you don't look the part might be surprised at how others perceive you. It's not about how dressed up you are in smart clothes, makeup and heels. In fact, here in the UK, it's those with lower incomes who tend to wear "flashy" outfit... |

Call a few photographers and ask first if they will do a location shoot on that date lasting 2 hours, and how much that will cost.

How soon after the engagement are you planning to get married? We are having a 10-month engagement and could only do a very limited number of dates for various reasons.
