You probably shouldn't say that on FB...

Confession time, I have been seriously considering posting a picture of my ring on facebook... its so pretty and I just love it. 

But, I have refrained.. still thinking about it though. 

I think posting your ring to facebook after you get engaged is acceptable. It's such a standard thing to do these days, and I love seeing pictures of people's rings and sharing in the excitement. After that initial post, though, I don't think anything else should be shared.

Loving the rings ladies.

Back to the FB- I have one friend driving me NUTS. She got engaged just over 1 week ago and she's had at least one post per day about the wedding. Look at my ring, need photographer suggestions, it's so hard to pick a date, vote on which hashtag we should use, which of these 3 cowboy boots go better with my dress, we picked a date, etc, etc. They booked the wedding for 8 weeks from now, she will wear a gown she had in her closet from her first broken engagement. Fine, cool, whatever, but then she's having the "vow renewal + reception" next June.

I'm just like WHYYYYYY. I understand you're in your 30's and excited to be getting married and don't want to wait. But then why the renewal do-over party?! We see PPD's on here all the time and at least this girl is making no qualms or hiding the fact that it will be a renewal, but I still don't understand why. It's like having your cake and eating it too. Either you get married super quick and intimate or you have the huge party you want, it's stupid to me to have both 10 months apart. And blab nonstop about it on FB to the point I'm about to defriend you.

me too. I didn't post it to begin with so I feel it would be tacky now, but I hope my FI doesn't think it is because I don't like it or something.

Y'all, FMIL posted a picture of my ring on FB (crappy cell phone pic) before I even had a chance to tell my grandmothers. I was not a happy camper.

I've unfollowed a handful of oversharing brides this spring...and let's not forget @SaraBrideSoon's facebook friend debacle (I think that qualifies as TK lore)

I'll play too:

That was the one thing I was adamant about, not doing it. But that little AW side of me was kind of sad about not posting it, ha.

I did post a picture of a jelly light up ring my mom got as a favor at a bar mitzvah they went to that day.

My FH lived at home when we got engaged so when we got back to his house from the picnic (where he asked me!) his mom immediately congratulated me and then posted about it on FB. I then had to do an immediate marathon of phone calls to everyone before they found out via FB. Oy. It was definitely a face palm moment.

She shouldn't post that unless she wants a Jashley.

Oh goodness I forgot about this special snowflake. Thanks for the reminder and the chuckle AlexisA01

A ring and a confession! I posted a picture on Facebook of my ring a few days after we got engaged. Everyone else did it, I assumed that was what one did. But I felt so weird and braggy about it I took it down a few hours later.

This is an heirloom diamond in a custom setting that FI helped the jeweler design. The most custom part is the 6 prongs - it was first cast with only 4 and he made them re-do it because he doesn't trust me to not rip the diamond out. :P

However, I did throw myself an engagement party before I knew better. We got engaged on Saturday, and that Sunday we were hosting an already-planned BBQ with all our friends - a regular activity for us. When everyone got there, we called it our 'Engagement BBQ'. It was the same as all our other BBQs except everyone looked at my ring and shook FI's hand. So ... I don't know what that counts as.

I know a girl who way over-shares on facecbook anyway. Like every little thing she does in life and way too personal information ends up on there all the time. But now she's engaged and its like "259 days till I get married!" "258 days till I'm a mrs!" "Cooking dinner to practice being a wife!" "Here's a photo of me and my friends wedding dress shopping!" Non. Stop. 

And the engagement photos she posted. Omg. They never ended. She must have done like 7 different photo shoots. I get that she's excited, and she's always had a really showy personality, but come on dude. Let it rest a bit.

I knew a girl who was like that. She got into a long LOOOOOONG facebook conversation with her mom, and her H's relatives on H's SISTER'S WEDDING PROFILE PICTURE. Where they tagged her now H and "jokingly" called him out asking where her ring is.

As soon as she made her engagement facebook official, I hid her from my feed, and ended up un-friending her because we weren't tight to begin with.

People are fucking ridiculous about shit. I used to AW and vaguebook and shit all the time when I was in college until I realized how annoying I was being. Maybe one day, others will get a clue.

Gross. It's like little mini Kim Kardashians going "please pay attention to me!"
