Selling wedding contract Asheville

Hey folks. I had a wedding scheduled in Asheville, NC, but Hurricane Helene hit and completely devastated our town. The cell lines were down along with power and water, and we had no way to get in touch with anyone to let them know our wedding was canceled. I could go on about the trauma we experienced that weekend, but the point of this post is trying to transfer our bridal contract. The venue is beautiful, and our planning experience was very positive. However, due to the circumstances of our losses from the hurricane, we are not interested in rescheduling, and that’s the only option we have through the venue. We are looking to find a couple that would want to buy out our contract at a discount. We are trying to recover some of our costs. It’s a 4-hour time slot, unlimited beer and wine for 100 guests, and a beautiful all-inclusive garden venue. They have wedding coordinators on staff that handle everything, and the package includes all seating, vintage china, and bride and groom dressing suites. We had all of our outside vendors booked, and they offered us refunds. We would be happy to give recommendations. DM me if you’re interested, and we can discuss the logistics.

Engagement outfit advice!

I have a feeling I’m getting proposed to in the next few weeks. I have a white dress from hill house I want to wear, but am worried about it being weird to wear white in DC in the fall. Is white fair game since it’s a bridal look? Or should I go for something more fall-y?

Disappointing proposal

Am I wrong for being disappointed and resentful about how my partner proposed?

It’s New Year’s Day his family wanted to do a New Year’s party at our house I’m not the biggest fan of his family but they’re tolerable and my partner knows this! so I decorated our place and made balloon arches in the house also a lot of decorations outside cooked and made a s’mores board for everyone outside I dressed up a little since his family wanted to be a little fancy lol😂 I have a two year old also btw so I’m keeping up with him until the grandparents get there too😂 so the night goes on then my partner asks me if I want to get in the hot tub so I say yes and we all hang out outside he keeps telling me he loves me and I’m like okay your scaring me lol what’s happening but he says he just wants to tell me how much he loves me… then we get out and everyone is kind of settling and taking pictures next to the balloon arch I made then me and him go to take a picture and then he proposes he says will you marry me and that’s it and I say yes because I love him …… but I see the ring and I notice that it’s a square diamond ring and I realize I’ve always told him I hate square rings to never get me one and he always said he thought it looked sooo beautiful on my hand and I’m kind of irked by that then I think well why wouldn’t he invite my family like not one person he invited that I would have wanted to share that moment with….. now when I bring up how I really didn’t like the proposal or how i didn’t think it was thoughtful at all he calls me ungrateful… Am i wrong for feeling this way?

Just engaged and I feel like I am self-sabotaging

Self-sabotaging is a toxic trait that I seem to have when things are going really well.

I just got engaged and we are planning a short engagement. We just got fitted for our wedding bands last week.

Some unresolved things that have come up over the course of our relationship are resurfacing. Some issues about trust, boundaries with the oppose gender, and previous experiences.

I’ve read that the deeper in commitment you go, the more vulnerable you get and any unresolved issues gets amplified.

Has this happened to anyone? Any tips on how to get through this?

I can’t stop staring at my ring!!

My partner proposed to me on Sunday and it was a total surprise. I knew it was coming soon since we had talked about buying rings but he did such a good job. My best friend invited me on a little girls day for her other friend who’s getting married in a month. We went to a cute local town to grab some lunch and do some shopping, then we went to our local pumpkin farm to feed the animals since it just opened up. I was a little bummed because it’s something me and my (now) fiancé do together every year but I was happy to be with my friends. As we were walking in someone said “hey!” at me and I did a double take, and my fiancé was standing in front of a little bell tower. My best friend (the angle that she is) grabbed my purse from me and started recording and it finally clicked what was happening 😂 he made a very short and sweet speech to which I obviously said yes. There were cheers all around us and I turned around and realized his entire family, my dad and step mom where there to witness it 🥺 I don’t know how they all managed to hide from me but I was so shook I didn’t even realize I hugged his mom first instead of him 😂 it was honestly so beautiful and I felt so much love in that moment. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Now I get to stare at this beautiful ring and start planning for September 2026! 💜

How do you keep from going stir crazy?

My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost 3 years. We went ring shopping for the first time a year ago. I’m slowly finding out that everyone around me knows his plans and he’s asked everyone’s permission. He says it’ll be pretty soon like from now to the next two months. As someone that can’t stand surprises and wants so badly to know. How do you keep from going crazy? I just want to know so badly! I think the waiting and getting my hopes up all year hasn’t helped and i just feel like i’m going insane!!!!!!! Any advice on how to distract myself?

I found it

So a week ago my boyfriend hid a bag of candy somewhere in our house. Today I really wanted a piece. So I decided to look in our room because he acted like he had hid it well. We haven’t settled into our house yet and our room is just for sleeping with a lot of stuff in it. I looked in the drawer of my vanity (with stuff on it so it’s not used) and I found the ring. I am OVER THE MOON! But I omit this right?!?! He’s made it clear that he wants it to be a surprise. I shouldn’t say I found it right???
