Wedding Layers

I am looking for engagement rings over the internet..but i heard some warnings from friends.but our local jewelry stores have very high and expensive prices.. i want to budgetize my money so i still have some left for the wedding..so i resorted to online stores..Now, what i need is the guidelines on how to purchase an engagement ring online. What are the things I need to avoid and what i should look for..

I’m going to a wedding on my own (cousin’s wedding). I want to give the bride and groom a card with a personal check in it. (I’m not putting cash in the card because I want to make sure they actually do get the money).

At what point and to whom should I give the envelope with the card/check in it?

It is an orphanage that the bride volunteered at one summer. Just wondering if people would feel offended that they are being asked to donate to this cause. Would it be better to just to just donate any money they receive and then in the thank you card mention that they donated the money to that orphanage?

Keep in mind it can’t be to expensive. My boyfriend a lot money to spend on an engagement ring.

I am about to buy an engagement ring and have talked to a few lady friends, and they would not like it, now im confused.

If your boyfriend bought your enagement ring online to save money how would you feel, or how did you feel? Even if you loved the ring, him actually not physiaclly holding the ring before he bought it and what not.

Do you have to buy an engagement ring first? Can I get the matching wedding band first and then the engagement ring later when money isn’t a bit tight?

I am 23 years old woman and currently single but my parents told me the other day that if I ever got married, they would contribute no more than 00 to my wedding. Do the parents of the bride usually pay for the wedding or is not not how tradition works anymore? They said that since they had to pay for their wedding on with their own money (my Mom’s parents were both dead by the time she got married so that’s why) then I should too. Does that seem weird to anyone or just how it goes?

When the minister said "you may kiss the bride" the bride pulled back and the groom had to lean in and got barely a peck.

Everyone at the wedding (over 100) snickered uncomfortably.

Do you think she doesnt really love him and marrying him for his money or is she just shy cause she’s asian and they arent overly lovey dovey in public?

I have been in a relationship for 2 years & 5months. We talk about it, I took him to look at rings but nothing. It always about money on his part.

I have an engagement ring from a past relationship gone bad. Now moving forward, Who and where do I try and sell it to . In hopes to try and recover some of the money.
