I feel like she has to be really drunk/able to pretend he's someone else to be into itJudging by that live, I'd say they are already in dead bedroom land (or rather - Joel definitely being down to fuck and Carrie definitely NOT)
She literally just admits she wants a husband, and doesn’t care who it is.This benefit of having two names thing just smacks of her already trying to disassociate from what is his. She wants to be married, but doesn't want to admit it will be to him. She may as well go the whole hog and have a boyfriend on her Fletcher side.
Agreed. My father walked me down the aisle purely for tradition, but we removed all the words from the (church) service which were to do with ‘giving away the bride’. My husband also spoke to him in advance of the proposal and whilst I do t know how he phrased it, I know for a fact that as my husband isn’t British he didn’t care what my dad said as he was still going to ask me anyway, but knew that it would mean a lot to my dad (which it did).I just want to throw in with the discussion on whether it’s feminist to ask for the bride’s father’s/parents’ ‘permission’—lots of women still like to be walked down the aisle by their father, and that’s definitely because it’s a nice tradition rather than to symbolise literally being the property of one man given to another. I don’t think it’s harmful and outdated because it’s not a literal thing in the way it once was, but each to their own.
Too farJust thinking about his whines and his pouts and sweat dripping down his hairy chest is making my food come up my throat. Sorry for sharing that visual everyone
Just like their relationshipI can see a scratch on the bottom left corner and a piece missing on the right side above the band. I’d be annoyed if that was my engagement ring after only a few weeks, it looks like it won’t last long
In Carrie’s defence I do get this. I use my maiden name at work as I have spent time building up a reputation under that name, but I use my married name in my personal life. I think it’s quite a common thing for people to do? Although it is for pragmatic reasons rather than the romantic notions Carrie has.I just wanted to share this answer again so it doesn’t get lost changing threads. Why is Carrie acting like having a professional and personal surname is like having two entirely different personas?? ‘Very lucky to have the option to have the best of both worlds’—it’s literally just a name, love. Why is she acting like it’s some massive unique privilege??What on earth are you on about here??

This is actually really interesting to me! I didn’t know about emeralds being a softer stone until your post about it a few threads back, and actually have one in my own (heirloom) engagement ring (albeit a much smaller stone than the future Mrs Shrek has in hers!!). I take it off when I’m doing housework, doing DIY etc but other than that I wear it all the time and the stone is still intact after 6yrs! Even with it being a softer stone I’d be absolutely mortified if I’d had my ring for a matter of weeks and had already bashed it around to the point where it looks like Carrie’s does in that photoMost likely. Emeralds are a soft stone and not recommended for every day wear. Typically it’s why they aren’t suggested for engagement rings (and yes, diamonds being the go to is just clever marketing but there is truth in it because of their hardness)
Yeah I know a couple of people who have done this. One is a doctor so it’s a lot of admin to change it at work. Plus she earned the title, not her husband, so she wanted to be Dr HerOwnName. She then uses the married name for non-official things like social media, booking restaurants etc. I would in no way describe it as “lucky”, it’s literally just a choice you’ve made…In Carrie’s defence I do get this.

Ok Carrie but the thing is that if you've spent enough time with your partner you're able to known their love language without needing to take a BuzzFeed quizThat’s the thing, she’s acting like she’s the first person in the world to ever have ‘two names’—a professional and a legal one—when it’s quite a common thing, isn’t it??
Also this answer made me laugh because it goes to show Joel doesn’t value gifts at all and yet they both made a whole circus out of the ‘twelve days of Joel’

I think it's clear he wasn't that into the gifts, when he didn't even use themThat’s the thing, she’s acting like she’s the first person in the world to ever have ‘two names’—a professional and a legal one—when it’s quite a common thing, isn’t it??

Yeah seems the classic ‘I can change the man/mind’ syndrome.Yeah and she also implied she was too young to have realised her other partners not necessarily wanting/being ready for kids might have provided issues later in their future but Carrie definitely WAS thinking about kids and knowing she wanted them with each person—she was literally writing letters to her and Alex Day’s future son, who is she trying to kid!? I think it just always stung her that Oliver clearly wasn’t as enthused about starting a family as she was, whereas Joel very much is.
Yes already. She wore it around a theme park (AND added another ring as it was too big which means it was likely spinning and could have been on the underside of her finger). We know from her home she isn’t exactly noted for taking care of things so absolutely it’s possible she could have damaged it already.Already though? She’s not even had it a month! Are they that soft or has she really just not cared for it? I have a friend who has an opal engagement ring that now she just wears for special occasions but until the pandemic and constant need for hand sanitizer she wore daily and it’s still in good condition.
I asked my partner to ask my parents - as I am the baby and a massive Daddy's girl - and it did mean a lot to me - and he did. They also had my Nanna's engagement ring that was left to me (unbeknownst to me) to give him for me.I agree asking permission is silly and outdated but personally I took the “traditional” element of it but just asked my partner to give my dad a heads up. It was in no way that my dad was making that decision for me which is what you’re saying. I’d talked at length with my partner about us getting married and equally my parents knew I wanted to marry him.
But now I have this lovely and quite funny story of this moment of pure happiness between my dad and partner and I absolutely love it.
Everyone’s got different views on it tho so I can see why you feel that way!
