Hola, mamacita!

Ours might not be the popular voice here, Susie, but I'm with you.
I'd much rather have that money to put down on a house or to help pay for the wedding and honeymoon. There are really pretty rings out there for much less money. JMO.
Having said that, I don't mean to put a damper on the ring enthusiasm. I think it's great that Joe is putting so much planning into this important step. What girl wouldn't appreciate that kind of attention?

Hello Dot
I know I would appreciate it. I am proud of Joe for planning like he is. :sohappy:

I agree... If I could go back, (as I said I LOVE my ring, but...) and knew how much DH was going to spend on the ring, I would have tried to talk him out of it. Embarrassingly, he was still making payments on the ring when we were trying to com eup for the money for our wedding photographer! And ya'll know me... I'm now against "paying" for things with credit.

I got on this morning and was wondering who all was here. All I could see was Connor. :shrug::lol:

Has Connor seen it yet?

 

[Disnut]

Hi Susie!
How are you today?

Doing okay. My oldest DD has a dentist appt this afternoon for a consoltation to get 2 teeth exposed.

 

[mpoppins76]

Has Connor seen it yet?

Don't think so. I think he would've Kaboomamatroned the thread by now if he had.

 

[Disnut]

I don't know.

Smart girlie!
Engagements and weddings are special times and are worthy of some extravagance, but I believe it's possible to do it all without losing your head.
If I were Joe, I'd go out and look, just look, at rings that cost half of what he was intending to spend. And then maybe look at rings half the price of that. Somewhere in the middle he just might find something nice. You don't wear the price tag for the world to see. It's not about what it costs, it's about what it means.

Well put, Dottie

I know Joe knows that.
I'm just afraid he thinks he'll disappoint if he doesn't spend big. I just want to tell him he won't. Not if she's in it for the right reasons.

 

[Disnut]

Exposed?

her baby teeth wouldn't come out so she had to wiggle them to make them come out. Now the adult teeth don't want to grow. She is very slow in matureing in her body. She is the DD that has braces and they need to put the rest of the braces on. :dazzle: She will be 14 in May but is almost like a 10 to 12 yr old.:lookaroun

 

[Uponastar]

Well put, Dottie

Thank you, Con...I mean Steph. :lookaroun

I don't mean to sound like a party pooper (or popper as Kat might say) but that is an enormous amount of money. At least it is to me.

That is very true. Weddings can get out of hand also. Dresses are :dazzle::dazzle::dazzle: nowadays.
