She bites my ring as soon as she sees it, thinking she’s being funny by "testing" that it’s real gold, which is an insult in itself. This is a 00 ring at retail price, and should NOT be BITTEN. If she has any qualms about the quality of my ring, then she should have kept it to herself instead of possibly damaging it. She’s 26 years old, supposedly an adult. Maybe she didn’t mean anything by it, but like usual it hurt my feelings. I realize her mother is a jeweler and has thousands of dollars worth of jewelry just lying around the house, so maybe she’s a snob, but I don’t see why she would want to do such a thing.
When she finds out the center stone is a sapphire and not a DIAMOND, she gives me this "your ring sucks" look. I tell her the ring is expensive (and to me it is) and she doesn’t even respond. Sometimes I really think I hate this person. How could a "friend" be like that? I really don’t think a good friend could be so insensitive and superficial. I just wanted her to be happy for me. Isn’t that every girl’s wish? That her friends just enjoy what’s happening?
It’s hurtful as hell. I’m just waiting for her to insult the dress I’ve already picked out (or give me a "look" because SHE doesn’t like it), our wedding ceremony (even though it’s not even her wedding), the reception (because we need to care about how much fun SHE’s having), the food (which she always does) and our honeymoon choice (considering she loves to gloat about taking extravagant trips and buying expensive things with her boyfriend, even though HE has roommates sharing the rent and SHE lives at home with her parents). All of these things have happened before in different forms, considering this is my first- and planning it to be only- marriage.
My fiance has a mortgage and I have bills to pay at my apartment. I don’t see any reason why she needs to compare her lifestyle and purchases to mine. I love that ring. I picked it out myself, because he wanted me to have something I loved.
She doesn’t have any bills, drives a free car her dad gave her AND gets EBT/food stamps from the state (and she doesn’t have children and she’s not disabled)… so she can drop bucks on things left and right at her own will. Lucky her.
My ring is insanely beautiful at 18kt white gold with a yellow sapphire center stone, with diamonds all around anyway. I asked for a sapphire because September was the month he first proposed, it’s the second hardest stone, and I wanted something different and special. It shines like the sun. The yellow is a symbol of hope for our marriage, and the friendship we have. It’s very sentimental to me. I just can’t understand why someone who calls me one of her "best friends" would make me feel so bad about something so special. I only ever expect to receive one engagement ring in my lifetime.

saving themselves for marriage. Finally, the big day comes, they have a beautiful ceremony, a great reception, and before she knows it, the day is over and the blonde bride is finally alone with her new husband in their honeymoon suite. She is so eager to consumate their marriage after waiting her whole life and winks at her new husband as she goes into the bathroom to slip into something sexy … But to her chagrin, when she comes out the blonde discovers her husband has fixed himself a makeshift bed on the couch. "What’s going on here?!" the blonde screams. The husband replies, "Honey, please be patient. It’s Lent." "The blonde now can barely contain herself as she stamps her foot and says even louder than before, "How dare you lend it to someone else, especially on our Wedding Night! Go back and get it right this very moment!!"

So here we are following a long engagement, happy to at last share an intimate church wedding and reception with family and friends we’ve known for a very long while.
Sounds great, right? Well, in the way that counts most — yes. Then, again, the exceptions were so glaring that they beg us to decide whether we ought to read anything into what transpired — or not.
In summary…
A hefty percentage of our invitees couldn’t be bothered to return their postage-stamped RSVP card (including family); those who *should have*, neglected to plan a bridal shower or a bachelor party; a member of our bridal party left about 3/4 into our reception (no fight, no reason); one set of parents decided not to toast us (our first and only marriage, and we are not estranged!); about 1/3 of those who declined our invite chose to acknowledge our marriage exclusively on Facebook (no card, no call, no personal email); several people asked where we were registered yet not a solitary guest purchased a gift off our registry (the usual places, starting at ); a bunch of people, including a bridal party member, didn’t think it necessary to wish us well by card (and we’re "card people" who hang on to those forever); we were falsely accused of failure to pay the church fee even though we have a receipt and a cleared check to prove otherwise; some of our wedding & reception help dropped the bomb days beforehand that they had competing social engagements and could not be on hand at the time previously discussed; those for whom we had honorariums skipped out before we could greet or pay them — only for our wedding coordinator to relay during what was supposed to be the start of our honeymoon that we needed to take care of that beforehand (delaying our getaway), etc., etc.
……………………………………………………
A good percentage of our guests included people with whom we’ve celebrated birthdays, weddings and the like long before our own special day took place. We have a clear conscience when it comes to our own behavior towards others, so little did we expect them to rub us the wrong way on such a major occasion in our own lives. Yet that’s exactly what happened.
Questions…
The question, ultimately, is how best to proceed? Chalk this up to a flakey, flukey sign of the times or an intentional slight? Is there a diplomatic way to ask some of our most overt offenders WWYT? (What were you thinking?) Or should we ignore the OTT insensitivity even at the risk that it will annoy or otherwise haunt us for the foreseeable future?
I have applied for my H1B this year and I am almost ready to get it stamped. I wanted to apply H4 for my Spouse as well along with me, but the problem is that we had to do a court marriage in Mar 2009, as our parents were not accepting our relation, later they agreed and we had our social marriage in July 2010. So, my doubt is that we have the marriage certificate of Mar 2009 but the wedding invitation card and the photo albums are of July 2010, will this be a problem for H4 VISA application and stamping.
This is a tricky situation. I am currently in US on J1 visa (5th year). My J1 visa stamping was done in Canada since I am a permanent resident of Canada 2 years home rule didnt apply for me. I got married recently in India and now I am in the process of bringing my wife on J2 visa. She has a interview scheduled for next week in India. Will there be a problem during interview since my J1 visa was not issued in India?if they do issue J2 visa, does the same no 2 years restriction ( as in my J1) applies to her too. what sorta questions do we expect during interview?
below are the listed documents needed for the interview. do we need anything else other than these
An approved form DS-2019 from the principal applicant’s school or program in the U.S. with the dependent’s name included;
A copy of the Form DS-2019 of the Principal Applicant.
Photocopy of the principal applicant’s valid visa (if applying separately).
Original Marriage certificate (for spouse) along with your entire wedding photo album.
Proof of additional financial resources to support the dependents.
1. What is the procedure for obtaining a valid marriage certificate when the wedding happens in a church? I heard that the certificate from the church should be given in the Panchayat and register the marriage there. If so, how much time will it take to obtain a marriage certificate from the Panchayat?
2. Should the spouse’ name be stamped on the passport to obtain a spouse/dependent visa?
