Maybe I should contact that store of yours in St. Paul. I went to the only Irish store I could find around here but they didn't have any wedding bands nor could they order them... LOVE that ring! very cool. this store got Paul's ring from Ireland ... so it's the real thing! that was important to Paul too. they have quite a decent selection at the store, and then catalogs to look through. here is the website: Irish Gifts Minnesota not all of their available jewelry is on their website - i know Paul's ring wasn't. they were so, SO nice too when we went into the store. tami - please let me know if you want me to go into teh store too. i'd be happy to run over there! i'm not working much at all right now, so i have plenty of time.

what ring is it ... have you posted it? i love celtic bands!

Tom wants platinum anyway and this site only does this particular ring in white gold. ugh - sorry! that was the only place we found the ring we liked too. until we walked into that local Irish store in St. Paul, MN - they didnt' have the ring on their website, but they could get it. let me know if you want their info ... they got the ring to us in less than a week!

i think landlord was the best too - but this was cute!

Quote: Originally Posted by foxytv Hey Ann, which website did you have the issues with? I'm about to order Tom's ring and want to make sure the site I use isn't the same one. I've got it narrowed down to two sites. the website that we had our bad experience with is Irish Jewelry Irish rings Celtic Wedding Bands and Rings at My Irish Jeweler - was that one of them you were looking at?

welcome! glad you finally decided to post. running into Tammy was just a sign that you should be on here!

welcome to the forum - just let us know if we can help at all! there are quite a few Caletas brides on here.

welcome to the forum!

welcome to the forum! if you feel like you want to do favors, there are lots of options (CDs, personalized candy, frames, etc.) - but don't feel like you have to. i think most of us skipped out on favors - and opted to just to OOT bags (or nothing!). just thought i'd throw that out there.

hey there! how is your planning coming - need any help?

welcome to the forum!

yay! how cool that you're able to return the other dress. so glad you found "the one" now. i totally spaced on meeting you today ... you must think i am the biggest flake! at the last minute i had a guy come over to estimate putting central air into the house - and totally forgot to get back to you. now i wish i would have - maybe i could have seen the dress! doh!

I say do a lot of research, as much as possible and talk to different doctors. There has to be something they can do about it, I am doubting its impossible for you to have a baby. So, take a deep breath, try to relax and when it all sinks in, start searching for options. There has to be options for you. I really believe that you will have a baby, you just need to figure out how. Shelley I am sorry to hear this - but I was going to say something similar to what Julie said, it's better to know now so you can deal with this sooner rather than later after you've been hitting your head on a wall for months! I dont' know enough medically to say that everything will be ok, but I know that you can't fix something you don't know is broken! Hang in there - and we're here for you.

I got engaged on April 27th and December was the best time to get married or risk waiting till 2008 and we both didn't want to so now I have to shove planning in 8 months! AAAAAH! You have plenty of time! I actually haven't even been engaged a year yet - and I've been married since June 8th! We were engaged at the end of Sept 2006, so we had a 8 month engagement too. And we're here to help ... you won't have a problem!

welcome, Cali!

welcome to the forum! just let us know how we can help.

Not happening today! (Nor would I recommend it!) i hear ya! and we never locked our doors either - we'd come home from school and just walk in. even when we were on vacation or something, pretty sure we didn't lock the doors. not sure anyone even owned a key!

i think you got them all! any chance i could fit in the bag with Tammy?

well, it sounds like you're approaching it the "right" way by comparing everything (salray, benefits, commute, etc.) and the long term vs. short term benefits. not sure any of us can add anything that you haven't already considered ... you're even making a spreadsheet (a girl after my own heart!). i guess - just think about things like ... do you see yourself at any of these companies long term? can you go back and spend the day w/someone (shadow someone) just to see what it might be like to help you decide? good luck!

Tammy - need more Dreams water, just in case? hehe

that will probably work too - but the clipart i used just wouldn't show up well on the paper i was using.

oh, and here is my "day of" timeline i used - i know i've posted before, but i'll put it here too! Timeline.doc
