Brides have told me this was completely something they never would have expected from their boyfriends at the time. Before this, their boyfriends never did anything romantic.

Planning the nursery comes soon enough, maybe at the same time. Don't do both.

It's very delicate, not ostentatious, because the diamonds are so small.

I certainly wouldn't say (wedding crashing) is an epidemic, but it does happen.

When it comes to family, a lot of times they think the more the merrier, and it doesn't occur to them that the couple is paying $50 per person, or that space may be limited, or that the couple wants an intimate ceremony.

The important thing is to present a united front. You and your partner must be on the same page as far as the style of the wedding, the budget and the size. Negotiate the things that are important to you.
