sounds like a question for your posek!

Ask your Rav
“Pretty sure” doesn’t cut it when it comes to halacha. That’s why we have rabbi’s. That’s why the mishna (Avos 1:6)says: “??? ?? ?? – Get yourself a rabbi”.
I play the shoelace. (sport laces only, I’m still perfecting dress laces.)
My rabbi said that it makes no difference on the composer. Rather there are 3 things that matter: the words, the beat, and if it’s a female singer and you’re a guy.
The words: if it has non-kosher words or concepts, you can’t listen to it
The beat: if it’s a very wild beat that will make you want to dance like a member of an African tribe, then it’s a no-no.
If it’s a female singer, and you’re a guy, it’s kol isha.
But you should ask your own rabbi
Ask your rabbi.

The Shulchan Aruch says you may give as much as you want, the Rem”a says not to give more than a fifth for one may need that money for himself for “briyus”.
(I found this in the sefer: ????? ???? ?’ ?, ?’ ?”?; ?”? ?”? if you want more info, you can look it up there)

I actually never wondered about that

Gabboim: If he gave her the ring in a way that would be kiddushin, and they subsequently broke off their engagement, he would need to give her a get. She would never be able to marry a Kohen after that. Pretty serious if you ask me. But that doesn’t mean that anyone who proposed in front of a crowd would suddenly be married.
BTW, my proposal was insanely awesome, it took abt 15 minutes, on the bank of a quiet lake at sunset. It was in middle of a lightening storm, and right when I popped the question, a big bolt of lightening streaked from the sky till the lake. It started pouring abt 30 seconds later.
@ aries2756: ” I don’t believe that any RAV would deny that the Judge was absolutely correct in her ruling. ”
A rav would trust a fellow Jew rather than the word of a Judge, in a case like this where there is ZERO hard evidence. Just her word against theirs.
I think it’s a bigger chillul Hashem that so many Jews are being dan l’kaf chov. Actually, I shouldn’t say that. I could just assume that most of the commenter’s aren’t Jewish and therefore are not expected to be dan l’kaf zechus.
It’s ridiculous that ppl aren’t being dan l’kaf zechus over here. Based on the ramblings of a non-Jew, you’ll accuse a fellow Jew of transgressing one of the worst aveiros? Get real! They are in all likeliness, innocent. And anybody who accuses them of being wrong is adding to a made up chillul Hashem. Which in itself is a chillul Hashem. There’s no mitzvah to blast the plaintiffs in this case. There is a mitzvah of dan l’kaf zechus. Do the math, which way are you going to come ahead?
