He barely got it off my leg when he said, "I don't really have to throw this, do I?" He was SO worried!! It was cute. ;-) Hahaha - that's hilarious!

I already saw them in the other thread too... but I just had to have one more look at them!! The pictures are gorgeous, and you looked so beautiful. Congratulations (one year ago!)

You Should Honeymoon in Mexico! After planning your wedding, all you want to do is relax No busy honeymooon for you. You'll take a warm beach and a cool cocktail. Plus, you can stay in a super swank hotel for cheap And discover that there's little better than a pool with a built in bar! Suggested destinations: Cancun, Acapulco, Cabo San Lucas, Cozumel Hmmm... what about getting married in Mexico and honeymooning in Disneyworld?!

Yayyyyyy Jess!!! Thanks for posting that!! Omg, I love the picture where Tony's friend is giving the thumbs up... it's just a funny, priceless picture! lol. And I love the "Just Maui'd" one!! Welcome back, and congratulations!!!

YAY TARA!!! I'm so glad you posted your story! Haha, you're so funny... I love that you were laughing - lol and that you had to go back to the hotel so you could see it!! Was he waiting for you two to go to the beach to propose, or was he going to do it on that night regardless?

Quote: Originally Posted by JaimeLynne Also, does anyone know what the deal is with bringing liquor back from Mexico?? Last time we were informed that if you bought it in the airport they would carry it onto the plane for you. However, when we went to buy our liquor they said we couldn't buy it for our particular plane - something like the time limit had expired. There were signs saying that you had to buy it no more than an hour before (or something like that) but when we went to the counter (well within our time frame) they told us we couldn't buy it. Ya, most places won't let you if it is less than one hour - but some are more persistant that more than one hour is needed - you just have to get the nice clerk! You do have to buy at duty free. If you try to bring it from outside they will throw it away. Also, they may ask you what flight you're on - when we came back from Mexico in March we bought some, and she asked us what flight... it was because we were on a Canadian flight that we could bring it on board with us (which even we thought was weird - normally they don't even do that), but they will otherwise load it on to the plane for you and you will get it when you arrive at home. Random side story (just because I can!): On our flight to Mexico this year, we went when spring break was starting so we had a bunch of really excited groups of college kids and younger on our flight. Well, we were sitting right behind two guys that (a) brought porn magazines onto the flight, which they got into trouble for (the flight attendant was really good about it, she said something like, "those girls are pretty, but they are not welcome on this flight dressed like that! Please put them away!" lol) and ( they brought their own case of beer on the flight with them... I have NO idea how they got that passed security (welcome to Canada!) but they did... holy cow, the flight attendant was pissed off!! She separated them throughout the plane so that they couldn't scheme anymore, and they were also sitting at the emergency exits which has "responsibilities" and these kids were smashed! It was funny for us, but the F.A. was mad!

Hey, welcome to the forum!! When is your wedding? Have you decided on a location yet? Let us know if we can help you with anything!

How did the legal ceremony go?!?? I was going to wait for you to post when you got back from Maui (??right - Maui?)... but I couldn't! When are you back?! lol. How did it go... and of course - did you get pictures??! Post them!!!! Less than a month to go until the "real" wedding!! Wooooohooo!

I have no idea if bringing sparklers out of the US/ into Mexico on a plane is legal- Does anyone know I would doubt that you could. I mean, if you couldn't bring beverages online...lol. I think you'd probably have to check them with the rest of your luggage.

Hurray Sherri!!! Have a safe trip, and a fabulous wedding! Congratulations - you deserve the best day ever! P.S. where are my celebrity gossip updates??! When you get back, I expect you keep on top of that again!!

That's ok!! The engagement stories is my favourite part of this forum - make it as long as you like!

I got this forward today from a friend and I just couldn't resist sharing!! NEW OFFICE POLICY Dress Code: You are advised to come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we will assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a raise. If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a raise. If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a raise. Sick Days: We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of sickness. If You are able to go to the doctor; you are able to come to work. Personal Days: Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturdays & Sundays. Bereavement Leave: This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead friends, relatives or co-workers. Every effort should be made to have non-employees attend the funeral arrangements. In rare cases where employee involvement is necessary; the funeral should be scheduled in The late afternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour and subsequently leave one hour early. Bathroom Breaks: Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall door will open, and a picture will be taken. After your second offense, your picture will be posted on the company bulletin board under The "Chronic Offenders" category. Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sectioned under the company's mental health policy. Lunch Break: Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more, so that they can look healthy. Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their very average figure. Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast. Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here to provide a positive employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternation and input should be directed elsewhere.

Quote: Originally Posted by RaydensMama I would get it resized a bit smaller. If it comes of just from shaking then it is too big. I actually agree with Laura. Like a freakin' retard, I just shook my hand like crazy to see if the ring would come off (keep in mind.. I'm at work! lol), and it moved to the knuckle, and the diamond fell towards my palm, but it didn't fly off. I definately think that's too big!

I sincerely hope my b-pics don't get passed from generation to generation. lol

omg - all of your weddings are so close!!! Sorry, I know I'm stating the obvious, but I just got a little giddy for you guys! lol

Sabina - that's neat, I've never seen that before! It looks kind of painful though...

Tara, my jeweler suggested that if it is still too loose for my taste, then they can square off the bottom in the inside. Its just like filling in the gaps of where the ring is too lose for you. This (she said) is also super easy to remove in-store in case you gain a lot of finger weight!!
