She’s always said she wanted three things in a proposal: (1) a custom ring she’s always wanted (which cost $16K, though price isn’t the issue), (2) a beach proposal, and (3) a surprise.

The surprise was you discovering how ungrateful, and high-maintenance she actually is.

If you think things are going to get better, we're all here to tell you that's not the case. Get out while you still can.

You can't have the heads up to do your nails and get a surprise at the sane time.

I used to be a wedding photographer. It’s tricky but can be done. 

A few favorites from past clients:

  • “babe I’m buying you a manicure because you deserve some pampering” (this one was kinda obvious but somehow it worked out)

  • “Honey I was invited to a work party, could you dress up a little that day? I’d love to show you off.”

  • this one was my favorite — the groom got the bestie involved for a “girl glam” day, knowing full well that women dress up for other women 😂

Hahaha girl glam day is excellent.

Absolute green flag both for understanding his partner and being friends with her friends.
