Good luck girl!!!!My man is a professional musician. Just found out his band is performing with a major artist who happens to be BFF of my ex (who proposed to me twice). Just found out my ex is coming down for it. I just know this will be awkward.
Happy 2018 y'all!
Our engagement pics session was great! It was chilly tho, so we ended earlier than expected. We may use 1 for our receptionannouncements. We've nailed down a ceremony and reception date. And decided to just rent out an area in a restaurant for the reception. With just 30 people.
At first we were looking at venues, caterers, etc. But neither of us were interested in planning/ don't care about this stuff lol. At first we were gonna have extended family and friends, which was around 70-80 people. So I suggested let's reduce that even more and just go out to eat lol.
Everything is happening in April.
We went over his dads house yesterday to look at what his timeshare offers in Europe for our honeymoon. We got a few nice places to choose from. Can't remember them all right now, but 1 was Malaga, Spain? We're gonna choose this weekend.
Going in May for 7 days 
We're using his dads timeshare and his dad is covering the all inclusive fees and our flights, too! 
She asked if we had already put the deposit down? I said yea. She said well maybe yall can get it back and look at [insert her suggestion here]? 
uhhhh no. crazy woman.
hmmmm probably not, but it was a nice thought 
How did you go about finding and choosing yours?
(i tried not to put too much emphasis on this, cuz I understand that if you're a single owner-operated or have a very small practice,...I get that you're a therapist and not a tech person. But some of the websites were really bad) and poor phone customer service like if the receptionist sounded unknowledgable or uninterested. Or if I called, didn't get an answer, and they took more than an hour to call back (again, I understand if you're a single owner-operator... but damn get a receptionist )
like since y'all don't have any glaring issues. maybe try to get him to see it like a regular doctor check up. You get yearly checkups for prevention, not cuz anything's wrong. Therapy, for healthy people, is like preventative medicine. But then you may need to show him examples of couples yall know, that he likes or looks up to, who did premarital counseling. Exhausting. I vote for pick a fight 
Congratulations!!Happy 2018 y'all!

We booked our honeymoon! The places in Europe were only available in November/ December, which we were both fine with, until we looked at the temperature at that time of year lol. So we started looking at South America and decided on Panama! So that's booked
I told him I want some more stuff done to my bathroom, so he's researching contractors this week. I'm researching premarital counselors this week so we can start that soon.
So I finally told my mom that we're doing a small reception dinner with 30-35 people. She already knew and mentally accepted the courthouse ceremony, so she was not pleased with the reception downgrade
Now we have to get his ring size so I can order his band. He had it picked out, but now he's changing his mind. Maybe I'll let him pick out my band, since I picked out my engagement ring
it's sparkly lol. Isn't it cute how parents raise you to be selfish, independent thinkers, etc and then be sad when you treat them that way? This lady really thinks I'll come around or something. Lady, have you met me? He has the contractors booked for my bathroom and I picked out my wedding band this weekend. I thought I wanted a plain gold band...but no...
I visited my parents this weekend. My mom is stilllll trying to invite people smdh. She said this is the last time she's gonna ask lol yea riiiiight. Oh yea, she asked if she could invite these 6 extended family relatives, after I told her about the reception downgrade^^^. I said no, this aint no family reunion ***. Then she comes back this weekend and asked for "just 1 person"
FH never ceases to amaze me with his communication skills. They really put mine to shame lol.
I can’t help myself, lol. 
Bahaha!! I could have told you that! Mine is sparkly too. FH bought it when he got the e-ring and he gave it to me when he proposed. It’s in my jewelry box, but sometimes I wear it around the house.
I heard that there are good sales on wedding bands around V-Day and I’m kinda thinking about getting him his band for Valentine’s Day because he has a couple of bands he got off Instagram that he likes to wear around town “so people know he’s mine”. Yeah, there might be something wrong with us.
hilarious!! And very cute 
You can get a second band and switch it up right?That's a good idea! Im gonna see if I can get his on a vday sale.
He wears bands he got off IG?
I keep seeing people with plain gold bands and I really like that look.... so why did I not choose one?
This makes perfect sense to me. Or you want a plain band to wear alone. It all makes sense lol.
You can get a second band and switch it up right?
Remember you're gonna get another type of diamond ring later anyways.
and yes! I want a plain band to wear alone
The uncut diamonds look so cool!True, I could just get both
Also true! I still want my uncut diamond
Make room for me.
