Where is it? it is coffee creek...do you know where that is? up near trinity.

this is my ring (engagement & wedding band)...it is pretty simple and clean...i am not much of a jewelry person. the main diamond is just over 2 cts. and the about 1 ct. of small diamonds on the side...i dont know what my wedding band it.

my fiance thinks the same thing about me...the sentimental part of me loves my ring because my DH spent so much time researching it and picking it out and spending the $$ on it....the socialist side of me things the diamond industry is a sham and i dont want to buy into it...and i feel like they perpetuate the violence going on in africa. also, honestly, i am a little embarrassed by the size of it...i don't wear jewelry so to wear something like this makes me a little self conscious...i shouldnt feel this way because compared to my gf's 3.5 ct ring mine is little BUT still....

wow! she does amazing work but seems expensive...are you going to use her? does she negotiate at all on prices?

jennifer, thanks for posting this...we need more jamaica info!

i thought this would be a good thread to figure out who is getting married in vegas. I know there are a few of you brides here...

i know what you mean...the year before your wedding is focused on 1 thing!

Please make sure your Birthday and Wedding Day is correct on your profile because they will automatically go into our calendar to remind us of your special days. Also, please take the time to add any other significant dates to our BDW Calendar that you would like to share with us. (ie. when you will be gone for recon trip, bachelorette party/weekend, when you leave and return from your wedding, etc.)

can you just upload it into your message? there is any option below the message box that says "manage attachments" and you can add them there. you can even monitor how many people download via your usercp.

Hi Kyndra!, welcome!! you're wedding is coming up soon...do you have everything scheduled...let us know if you need any help.

I am so glad you two found each other!!! i feel the same way...honestly, if any of you gals are in san francisco, shoot me and email, i'd love to meet for coffee or lunch!

Well i am not much of a writer (or typist) so bear with me... I met steve 3.5 years ago. we met off match.com of all places. my coworker was going through a bad break up and wanted to use match but was scared to do it by herself so she convinced me to do it with her. Even though i was very supportive of her, i did not think i was going to meet anyone "normal" on match so i did not put my picture up or even write anything in my profile. One day, she came down to see if i had ny cute matches...and steve's face popped up...i was like he's cute and she literally made me email him on the spot so i emailed something really lame to him, like "you're cute". That was it. He asked me for my pic and i refused and we got into an internet argument over it. me being the feminist was trying to convince him looks weren't everything ad he shouldn't be so shallow....his response.."whatever, DUDE!" he thought i was a guy! so i had to send him a pic to prove i wasnt and i guess you can fugure out the rest. so.... Every year, Steve and I go up to his family cabin in Northern California. This cabin has alot of significance to him because he used to go every year as a kid and he associates the cabin with a really happy period in his life. It is this really charming town with 1 country store, no phones and no cars. Last August I almost had to cancel and have steve go up on his own. I was really swamped at work and had a hard time taking the time off. Well let's just say he sort of freaked. He made me feel really bad about not going which kind of surprised me. So i went, a little begrudgingly. One night he asked if i wanted to go on a sunset walk. We walked to the swimming hole and he sat me down on a log and asked me if i would spend the rest of my life with him....i of course cried and said YES! He had the most gorgeous diamond ring. he knew i was not much of a diamond girl (because of all the atrocities in sierre leone) so he made sure to get adiamond that was not mined anywhere in africa. When he put it on my finger he made sure to tell me that. I guess i am still surprised he married me because steve is the consumate "player". he was a model and plays in a local band and has toured all over the US and europe so girls have always thrown themselves at him. When we first met, he even told me he did not want a girlfriend and he didn't believe in marriage...well, i guess he changed his mind on that. I just feel so lucky to be with him....he is my soul mate but most of all he is my best friend. we love spending time together. he is very sweet and respectful towards me and treats me like his princess. this is a pic of us at the cabin walking to the swimming hole...his mom took it.

thanks katie!! it is so important to get wedding referrals from other brides!

Quote: Originally Posted by YLANMUI I adore cupcakes! In fact, they are my favorite dessert. Frequently I get cupcake cravings at night and have to go to one of the local bakeries here and get them! I was also totally set for getting cupcakes for my wedding ... BUT when I asked the hotel how much it would be, they said it would be MORE expensive than the cake!!!! I was in disbelief. I tried to negotiate them down but no luck. (I don't even remember the number now, it was so long ago.) But I was really disappointed and am just going ot have a regular cake b/c it's cheaper. i love cupcakes too...before the wedding i was "dieting" and working out like a maniac..BUT not losing any weight...i started fraking out at my trainer about how i was always starving but not losing any weight so he had me write down everything i was eating... i would complain to my hubby as well...when steve saw the list he totally started laughing....he said i ate dessert with everymeal thats why i wasnt losing any weight. he also told me he found the chocolate cupcake wrappers in the car...he totally busted me...this bakery near my work has the yummiest black tie cupcakes...chocolate w/ cream cheese frosting...yummy....

welcome Darci!! do you have a few palces picked out? you must be excited!

Carrie, your pics are so gorgeous...i am so happy for you!
