I know they make things so difficult...my priest yelled at me and they dont understand why were going away 2 get married instead of getting married at home...i just dont want a church wedding anymore but my parents insist...but my mom called up our priest and totally stood up 4 me it was pretty cool....she gave them sh*t saying that all their doing is turning people away

so i took a pick of my moms eternity band just to show you guys how it looks...it was bought off diamondsonweb.com very similar as the bluenile ring that was posted above...it is 2.4 carats in total and cost $3600 CAN my mom says it's not that comfortable to wear but looks beautiful i don't know how u girls are taking such great pics of ur rings..this is the best that i could do

I have 6 and everyone is ranging from a 0-4 and then I have one girl who is like a 14 or 16. So I have no clue what kind of dress to look for? any ideas? I think a babydoll is so flattering for any size justbecause it goes out under neath the bust line so it can hide a big tummy

Then she hired a florist to do the labor for the wedding $200 dls for the day!! Who did u use as ur coordinator taht is an amazing price....I want all roses aswell

If you are having a hard time and are willing to maybe have your guests travel a bit to maybe a smaller town for the ceremony. I heard that in some of the smaller towns North of San Jose on the Gulf side.. the Padres are a little more lenient and are willing to accept a little donation to do so. ie. do not require the months of talks. You may want to check them out. Ther problem is more with my church not the church down there, I contacted the father at the san jose church and he just gave me the info where the paper work goes...we are just going to have the wedding rites not a full out catholic ceremony..but i hope it all works out in the end, thanks for the advice

you will definately find this forum very useful...btw what's your name??

Ann here is the link for where Terry bout my e-ring and my dad bought my mom an eternity band for their 25th anniversary...and both rings r beautiful Diamonds on Web

k thank u so much and sry for taking over ur bridesmaid dresses thread...oops

totally forgot about that Ithink u sent it to me a couple months ago...so I pick one item from that list or is it 2?

o sry i made a mistake that price $2500 was for an eternity the half way around was $1000...sry I made a mistake the pick above is half way around for $1000

I totally agree with Ana online retailers have amaing prices...u don't have to pay for the store and the amount of peopel so prices go down...also check out diamondsonweb.com or bluenile.com Ana - I was quoted $2500 CAN for the second one it came to 1.30 carats in total weight the colour and clarity were really good in this one...but I also found cheaper ones for about $1500 at other places

o and Sarah as for the food ur doing ur reception at oceana aswell, right? just tell me which food is the best when u try it..thanks, ill email yessica today for the menu

It will not cost me anything extra if u 2 would come to the church ceremony...just hope on the rented bus with everyone and come YAY!!!!.....and YES I am freaking OUT!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! o and I have other news....Im moving in like 3 weeks AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Terry and I just decided this recently...I was going to wait till may to move but im doing it now first time on my own moving 2600 km away from home from my parents sry Im freaking out its all happening so soon and Tammy we wish you could be there

so here are the 2 that I'm looking at...they look a lot better on than the pic

I was 100% sure I wanted the eternity band aswell and have been in love with it for ages till i tried it on with my ring and it doesnt look right at all....so I've decided to go with 11 diamonds so thats more than half way around in a channelled setting ill post a pic once i find one....u save so much money and u can have bigger diamonds if u choose to and terry said he'd buy me an eternity band for our anniversary have u tried any on yet?

o yes...i was wondering if you could get a copy of the Oceana menu for me from Mariana or yessica and send it 2 be or scan it for me some how..id really appreciate that....as for helping me set up i dont think i will need any help, ill let yessica take care of it...but would love to have u at the church for the wedding or cocktails...we'll get Juan to take some pics of us to post on here YAY!!!

Ya there so nice in the store anyways and it's not like they will reject you and say no trying on rings...just make them believe you're gonna buy from them....and than once u find the ring u want go onto their website and print the pic of the one u picked and take it into a custom jeweler to get it made....ok i blab 2 much, ill shut up now lol

lol I will stand if you don't mind no needs to buy me a chair...I would love it if you could make it 2 mine aswell but I understand it is just a few days before yours so don't know if you would have the time

I don't know of any places in Chicago but this is what i am doing...go into the big jewelery retilers such as Tiffany's or Birks (hmmm dont know if u have one there...but they have so many differnt styles...try on a bunch and than get it made somewhere else...this is what I am doing and its saving me big bucks

Brandy!!! have u decided on a resort yet??

yay that one was my fav...omg I can't believe I get to see all this in 3 1/2 months...Sarah you wont mind if I take a little peak in on your wedding day?? I am so excited and can't wait
