If you were planning a wedding and there was only one last date available for your venue, would you reserve it before talking to your partner or reserve then tell afterwards?

If reserving it means putting money down then I wouldn’t do it.

If it’s a soft hold where I’m just putting my name on a list and I can cancel with no implications, I’d do it.

It was a soft hold, first come first serve basis.

Honestly it depends on the cancellation policy, if I'm able to move the reservation without any penalty and it wouldn't seriously impact our finances then I would hop on the opportunity. Reservations can be changed but once the opportunity is gone, it's gone.

Yeah it was a soft hold first come first serve basis

Are they doing space travel or on a combat deployment? This sounds like a quick phone conversation.

They might want to see it. Or at least video pictures. Can't always be instantaneous. But agree. I schedule tours where I could facetime him for the tour part.

Never went to a place that wouldn't give you a soft hold at least for 24 hours, some for much longer. Meaning if someone wanted it, they would call you first.

Even if they were millionaires I would not want a gift, but I don’t want it taken the wrong way.
