If she's from Nantucket, rather than just summering on Nantucket, then she's probably not wealthy if that's what you're implying. Most people who live year round on the cape or the islands are very working class.

We got a joint account when we moved in together just because it was easier to set up all our bills on auto pay. I got tired of asking my then boyfriend, now husband, for his half of the bills every month. We automatically transfer a set amount in every check, but it's really only enough with a little bid of padding…
I don't know, I don't really agree with that. I know inheritances have special rules (so it's not really shared money in the marriage), but knowing roughly how much your fiance(e) has and how they plan to use those funds are an important part of planning for the future. Are you as a couple planning to buy a house?…
We got married in August. When we moved in together we got a joint account that we each transferred a set amount in to cover our rent/shared bills. I guess I always assumed we'd combine everything when we got married - whether they're seperate or not, it's all "our" money. Ultimately we ended up keeping the system we…
I'm going to second the knot's etiquette forum. They're blunt and honest, they'll tell you if the great idea you have to do XYZ is likely to hurt someone's feelings and they're pretty shameless about it. Rather than being in the "we should all support each other while planning!" camp, they're in the "it's better for…
Without surge pricing they're cheaper. That's been my experience in any case. But it's almost impossible to get an Uber without surge pricing nowadays.
The first couple of times I heard it I thought it was an old Billy Joel song for some reason.
She came from Broadway, it's not like they'd be casting her because she was on a famous TV show.
I did Blue Apron for a few months, my husband got it for me for Christmas last year because I hate meal planning. It's nice! New recipes every week, they send a box with ingredients for 3 meals for 2 people. And they've add more preference options now - it used to be vegetarian or meat, but now they've added options…
I got it for Christmas last year from my husband! We kept up with it for 4 or 5 months. It was really nice to not have to meal plan or go grocery shopping, but the meals are a little adventurous for my meat and potatoes taste.
Also, the meals take like 45 minutes - 1 hr to cook. Mostly all the prep work of chopping all…
I have the up too! I mostly use it as a silent alarm so I don't wake my husband up in the morning. But it's very finicky. I took it off because it wasn't connecting and my app told me I walked 3,000 steps that day - while the UP was sitting on a bookshelf not in use.
We occasionally have work-related beverage events and the interns are always wasted.
Our company doesn't even have a holiday party. They have a "winter gala" at the end of January. Yeah, it's in a ballroom at a snazzy hotel, but it's on a Friday night and I have to leave work to go home and put a dress on (it's cocktail attire) and do my hair, and then trek back into the city. I've found a reason to…
My husband is a HUGE tennis fan. We're taking a belated honeymoon and going to Paris and London for 10 days. I've learned over the years that I can sell any trip to him that includes a tennis tournament, even if it's not a grand slam, and I've been dying to visit Europe, so win-win!
I'm going to Roland Garros this year (next year? 2015). Maybe I'll see Bey and Jay!
I was always so confused when my grandmother from Hyde Park called it that.
Edit: nvm. Ignore.
I have some family, but not many. My husband's parents are divorced, and my dad's brother is divorced. But no one on my mom's side of the family (she's one of 6, but I'm thinking of the cousins of hers that I know as well) is.
Oh actually, one of my cousin's on that side of the family is. But I know way more marriages…
The last real stat I'm seeing in this article is the number of marriages from the 90s that lasted 15 years. You were not married in the 90s and your marriage has not yet lasted 15 years.
Your marriage has happened in the 2000s, so you're in the 75% bucket.
There aren't enough stats on gay marriage. Even yours, one of…
I'm newly married and I can definitely see someone continuing on with the momentum of wedding planning even if the relationship was starting to deteriorate. Or you're sure it's just normal cold feet, nothing to worry about. Once you've invested all that time and money, it can be really hard to consider backing out.
