Carolyn Hax: Boyfriend of nine years ‘distant and angry' when marriage comes up
Dear Carolyn: My boyfriend and I have been dating for nearly nine years. We have a cat and three dogs, have lived together four years, and moved across the country to start a life together. Recently, he has been distant and angry. He is never violent or cruel but often gets overwhelmed and angry when I talk about the future. He claims he is feeling stuck in a dead-end job and doesn't know what to do about it. We have always talked about marriage and kids but put it on the back burner to focus on our finances. Recently, I have been talking about it more, as many of our friends have gotten married and started having kids, and it's something I really want. He has gotten upset with me for bringing it up, even calling me selfish. Most recently, he said he isn't sure he even wants kids anymore. After every argument, he apologizes and says it's not that he doesn't want that life with me but that we can't afford it. But every time, it feels more like a weak excuse than the last time, as if he's trying to convince himself rather than me. I am terrified this is the end of our relationship. I have never lived alone, come from a large family and deeply love our pets. He was in both of my brothers' weddings, and untangling our lives feels nearly impossible. Is there no way forward? If this is the end, how do I even begin to navigate the dating scene again after nine years? — Tangled Tangled: Give me a second here … · Marriage. · Kids. · Keeping up with friends. · Not living alone. · Staying with deeply loved pets. · Seal of both brothers' approval. · Nooooo, agh, agh, not the dating scene again!?! Okay, got it. That's a list of what is important to you, pulled from your letter. Now you tell me, where does this go: 'Being with the man I love, trust and struggle to imagine my life without'? I didn't see it anywhere. Kind of a glaring omission. Maybe you feel it so completely, it went without saying. You were focused on the situational details, maybe, trying to get it all into an advice question. But I have to ask whether you would ever want to be at the altar because your groom can't bear to part with your dogs. If your boyfriend is the person for you, then … why aren't you listening to him? Where's the strategizing, together, to turn around his dead-end-job status or, if there's no change imminent, address his dead-end-job feelings. Because having each of you so stuck on your own anxiety that you can't grasp the other's is failing both of you. So try showing respect for his 'excuse.' Approach it as a valid block to his thriving and progress. This path may still lead you on your separate way, because a difference in your approaches to life stress is often decisive — but even that is a more productive direction than back into the wall you're both hitting. If instead your letter was accidentally honest — meaning, you're in this only for the security, paternity and pets — then consider your boyfriend's 'job' irritation may be an expression of deeper emotions. Being loved for what he can give you, instead of who he is, creates a loneliness no marriage, pets or career upgrade can ease. He may not even fully identify that as what he's feeling, or you as the source, beyond a systemic despair. So be honest with yourself — then be honest with him. That's how you get through this.

Inside the gifting lounge at the viral Adare Manor wedding
A New York couple put on what could only be described as the wedding of the year at the five-star Adare Manor in County Limerick over the weekend. The nuptials of Ally Rice and Sean Fernando had people saying it was 'the best wedding I've never been to' after a ream of clips from the luxurious weekend were circulated online. Fortunately, while the couple kept the guest list to their nearest and dearest, TikTok provided us with a front row ticket into all the shenanigans from their first dance to Pink Pony Club to the pop-up bathrooms which looked as if they belonged inside the Adare Manor. The nuptials of Ally Rice and Sean Fernando had people saying it was 'the best wedding I've never been to'. Pic: Marcy Blum/ TikTok Internationally renowned event planner Marcy Blum was on hand for the billionaire couple and shared an array of glimpses inside the wedding, which also included its very own gifting lounge. Sharing a glimpse of the lounge on TikTok, Marcy revealed that they opted for the 'suite of Irish essentials' instead of the traditional wedding welcome bag. 'JUST WAIT FOR WHAT'S IN STORE,' she teased alongside the clip. @marcyblum Welcome to Ally & Sean's gifting lounge at Adare Manor ☘️🇮🇪✨ instead of a traditional wedding welcome bag — we created a suite of Irish essentials 🫶💕✨☘️ JUST WAIT FOR WHAT'S IN STORE #marcyBlum ♬ Kingdom Dance – From "Tangled"/Score – Alan Menken The clip starts from outside the suite, which is a room of its own, cordoned off by sleek green curtains. Just outside the room, a large blackboard invites guests with a message, 'Come in, We're Open.' The room is laid out like a shop, with tables and shelves holding all the amazing goodies, and rails holding the clothes available to snag. There was everything from tartan scarves to cookery books on the sheep of Ireland and potato recipes.

Social media users took to the comments aghast at the display on offer for wedding guests. One said: 'A gifting lounge! These people know how to treat their guests.' Another added: 'Y'know what? YOLO [you only live once]. Nice job wedding planner.' A third joked: 'I'm friends with the wrong people.'

We've reached peak lantern festival mania. Experience these magical ones around SoCal
Is there anything more like a fairy tale than thousands of glowing lanterns floating heavenward into the night? Long before the luminescent spectacle awed viewers of Disney's 2010 film 'Tangled,' real-life lantern festivals have been taking place around the world. In China, sky lanterns were first used as a means of communication in warfare during the Eastern Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago. Since then, sky lanterns have taken on a more ceremonial and celebratory significance, marking occasions such as the end of Chinese New Year and the coming of spring. Yet, as wondrously beautiful as these floating mini hot air balloon launches are, the reality is there's only a fine line — and a gust of wind — that can turn a sky lantern into a free-floating Molotov cocktail. Outlawed in many regions due to the fire risk and environmental hazards, the idea of releasing thousands of them indiscriminately into the sky literally wouldn't fly here in Southern California, where memories of the January wildfires are all too fresh. This is why when OC Japan Fair hosted a lantern release as part of its three-day festival at Costa Mesa's OC Fairgrounds last month, organizers opted for a safer alternative: lantern-shaped helium-filled balloons tethered by string and lit by lithium battery-powered LEDs. I was among the hundreds of people who released their glowing boxy 'lanterns' inside the OC Fair's Hangar after a set by Japanese singer Minmi. For a few seconds, save for a piano playing a few pensive notes, there was silence. All eyes — and cellphones — were focused upward at the flickering white cubes. 'When you let go of a lantern in the air or in the water, you let go of your feelings behind it,' said attendee Charles Mendoza, who drove to the event from West Covina. Anything that's been weighing your thoughts, 'you just let it go.' Whether you attend a lantern festival to release pent-up emotions, send a message to a loved one you've lost or cast a prayer into the great beyond, the experience can become a quiet moment of reflection. Here are four lantern events happening at various locations in and near Southern California until the end of the year, where, at the very least, you will be awed by the beauty and peacefulness of the idea — one that ironically started from war. When: May 16-17 What: The Water Lantern Festival returns to Southern California. It happens Friday and Saturday at Lake Gregory Regional Park in the city of Crestline, and on Saturday only at Elm Grove Beach in Lake Elsinore. As the festival name and venues suggest, these are water lantern launches. But just like sky lantern events, they will be visually spectacular and, hopefully, spiritually impactful. Originally launched in Utah in 2018, the Water Lantern Festival first came to Lake Gregory Regional Park in 2020 and has since expanded nationwide. Though it is a for-profit event, the festival has partnered with an organization that helps bring clean water and sanitation to communities in need around the world. Admission is $57.99 at the event. It includes a drawstring bag with one floating lantern kit with a lantern, tealight and marker to write your wishes, hopes or messages. Beyond the lantern release, the festival offers an array of food via food trucks, shopping, and entertainment. You are allowed to bring your own picnic and snacks, but not alcohol as the event is alcohol-free. Details: When: July 12-13 What: One of Los Angeles' beloved summer traditions — the Lotus Festival — is returning to Echo Park Lake. It began in 1972 as 'The Day of the Lotus,' created to highlight the contributions of Asian American communities in Los Angeles. It was renamed the Lotus Festival in 1990, and each year since, it has spotlighted a different Asian or Pacific Islander culture. The event is timed with the blooming of the lake's iconic lotus flowers, which was once the largest outside Asia. Last year's celebration honored the Philippines and its L.A.-based diaspora. This year it will honor South Korea, showcasing the richness of Korean culture through live music, traditional dance, cuisine and artisan vendors. While the highlight of the weekend is usually the Dragon Boat Races — which have drawn competitors and crowds since 1991 — the sentimental favorite is the water lantern release onto the lake. Admission is free, but details on the cost of the water lanterns has yet to be announced. Check the website closer to the date for more information. Details: When: Oct. 3-5 What: This fall, Rise Festival returns for three nights at Jean Dry Lake Bed, a desolate patch of Mojave Desert (three miles from Jean, Nev.) that has been used as a filming location for 'The Hangover,' 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' and other movies. In its 10th year, Rise is the only sky lantern release festival on this list. But because it also features large scale art installations and a stage that sets up the night with live music, it is the Burning Man of lantern release festivals. (Though unlike at Burning Man, you can drive less than 20 miles to the Las Vegas Strip when it's done and end your evening with a shower in a hotel room of your choosing.) Ticket packages start at $129 for the Silver tier, which includes the lantern release ceremony, live performances on two desert stages, access to large-scale art installations, meditation spaces known as Rise Halos, two lanterns per guest, a portable cushion for desert seating, and unlimited water refills. Higher-tier packages add perks such as gourmet dining, open bar access and reserved viewing areas. Details: When: Nov. 9 What: Celebrated for centuries in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, St. Martin's Day honors the life of Martin of Tours, a 4th century Roman soldier turned monk and bishop. He is best known for a simple but profound act of compassion — sharing his cloak with a freezing beggar on a winter's night. That moment of generosity defined his legacy. When he died, his body was carried by boat along the river to Tours. Legend has it that children bid farewell by standing on the riverbank with candles to light the way. Since then lantern processions, or Laternenumzüge, became tradition, symbolizing the light and the enduring warmth of human kindness embodied by the saint. On Nov. 9 at around 5 p.m., this tradition continues in Huntington Beach's Old World Village. Children and families will carry illuminated lanterns through the mall while singing traditional songs sung for generations. Hosted by German School Campus of Newport Beach, this St. Martin Lantern Parade is free to attend (but a $5 donation and reserving your spot online is requested). Details:
