That’s what I wanted (and got). It’s a sapphire and it’s stunning and so much bigger than how much diamond we could have gotten for the same price.

THIS! That is the exact argument I had with my family member who is a cop. My mom is a teacher. I love her, I support her, I think teachers are heroes. But if a teacher rapes a student, I’m not like Pedo Teachers Lives Matter.

I have been sleep-fucked. It was strange (mostly because I didn’t realize at the time what was going on) and he said very odd things (and fell off the bed, twice). The next morning he remembered nothing. After that, it’s not something I would ever try

“You’ll change your mind.” Cool, and what if I get pregnant and don’t? Are you going to raise it? It’s such an insane argument, it’s always felt cult-like to me. I don’t try to talk people out of having kids, why do they get to talk me into it? My pre-husband and I have come up with a few really offensive responses…

That might happen whether you have kids or not, because your friends (at least some of them) will. I’m 34, pre-husband is 37. We’ve “lost” a lot of friends to the dark side (er, I mean kids) and we have to accept that we won’t see them as often or we’ll have to go to that bar that lets you bring babies during the day…

Mostly related: yesterday on the subway, I received an unsolicited AirDrop request that was a dick pic. This isn’t my first rodeo and I’ve taken more than my share of gross male behavior, but this REALLY upset me in a way I haven’t been able to shake. I think it was that this guy was able to tell from wherever he was…

Wait, for real? Because I overplucked (thanks a lot 90's Drew Barrymore) and now I draw them on every single day. I never thought of Rogaine.

Same. I loved the variety that I could get (Barre, HIIT, Pilates, Yoga —and yeah I know I’m basic) and that I had that cancellation fee hanging over my head at 6:30am when I wanted to hit the snooze button (actually stopped my boyfriend mid-proposal [which I did not yet realize was a proposal] to tell him I had to…

Same! If people were following and listening to my pre-husband and me all the time, they would have caught the massive argument we had on the way to our own engagement party, among other public fights I can recall. And/or there are MILLIONS of moments in which I am annoyed or venting about something completely…

#2 — THIS. My ring is insured with Jewelers Mutual. It’s all they do. If you’re going to wear that much money on one finger (that, hypothetically, is prone to doing things like letting heavy doors slam on their brand new engagement ring), you really should use real insurance. (and not shop at Kay’s, as you stated in…

Same, except I’m only about 90 days out. As someone who has checked off so many of my seemingly endless To-Dos on The Knot, I can tell you that it does get worse, but I also hear from my recently married friends that it’s all worth it. Stay strong, beet lover.

Same! (Although I’ve had a few “Fuck Wedding moments). And if it’s basic or boring or whatever for me to have a goddamn photo booth, well then so be it. I wanted a photo booth and I got one. Anyone who thinks that’s stupid can feel free to RSVP no and save me $$ a plate.

Consider yourself lucky. I’m in NYC but getting married in RI. Looking at what felt like every photographer between here and there, for what we wanted (9 hours, 2 shooters, engagement session, and at least one album), there wasn’t a single one under $4K. We ended up spending $4K and that’s a discounted “friend” rate…

Unless your dog is dumb and clumsy and he is certain that the dog would somehow ruin it (and he would not be wrong). She wasn’t even involved and she did try her best to ruin it anyway. In her defense, she is very sensitive, so when she saw me crying (happy tears), she freaked out.

Yes, what happened?? I’m an out of the loop uncool “grey” so I must have missed something. It disappeared right around the time I got engaged and I really miss it.

Re: your friend’s rental — That’s so disappointing. I have rented from them probably 6-7 times and haven’t seen that issue (but I did receive a dress with a torn hem that wasn’t noticeable until I put my heel through it and made it worse). I think your point about dry cleaning pieces several times a month or even a…

Are all “name in sand” pictures basic? Asking for um, a friend, who hypothetically just sent out 157 Save the Dates with their initials and the date drawn in the sand for her hypothetical beach wedding.

Did we go to the same school?? Mine was the exact same and as a pale person with a slight sunburn, I looked TERRIBLE!

Maybe your friends just haven’t told you. Only one in the group of women I consider my closest friends knows I was raped in college and only because she made a casual comment about being “roofied”. No one in my family knows. I was too ashamed to report it and I felt my mother would think that she had failed somehow…

Not disagreeing with you — WW definitely wants you to buy their shitty foods, but how is MyFitness Pal (or any other app or tool) different? Do you feel like they are able to capture the nutritional value of homemade foods (like your pumpkin pie example) better? Genuine question, as that’s the problem I have with…
