run away.. ........ ITS A TRAP
Lady works for me got married to the tune of $50-$60K.
A girl who used to work for me is planning her wedding for next year- probably gonna spend $25-$30K for a handful of pictures and some well fed guests.
These same women are wanting a house and complaining about not having a down payment. Hmmm.
I am getting married in 3 days. We did like an inverted elopement. We are doing parents, grandparents, siblings & their significant others. Got engaged in Jan/feb of 2024, planned nothing until November & are leaving out all friends and aunts, uncles, cousins.Those that have gotten married, if you could do it all over again would you do a traditional wedding or Elope?
That's where I was going with this.Are they paying or are their parents?
I've seen a couple friends elope or go tiny on their wedding and instead use the $ their parents would have spent on a wedding as a house down payment. Much better alternative IMO.
56 years no wife/contract doing fine.With the divorce rate at 55%....why bother.
My wife is executor of an estate and there was a decent grade diamond, 1 -1.5 carats. She can't sell it - the synthetics are perfect and no-one wants the old blood diamonds anymore.The big thing that surprised me between wife #2 and #3, is how good quality synthetic diamonds are so inexpensive it changed picking out the ring.
A diamond seller was interview on one of the business news shows and said it wasn’t long ago synthetics were in the minority of what they sell, but the quality is so good now the percentage is something like 80%. Debeers has even reduced the price of natural stones, which is significant.
Isn’t that amazing. I hadn’t even thought about the politics of natural diamonds.My wife is executor of an estate and there was a decent grade diamond, 1 -1.5 carats. She can't sell it - the synthetics are perfect and no-one wants the old blood diamonds anymore.
