If anyone in NJ or NY needs a jeweler my guy is awesome...my ring appraised for $22k of course my FI did not pay that amount...I also purchased a necklace for my dress that was $4,900 but my jeweler sold it to us for $2,500.... AND my FI had to have a custom made ring and it was only $1,500 with 1ct of diamonds  AMAZING DEAL!!!!

I'd love to contact you're jewelr. I need a ring for my fl. he wants black diamonds (after i've already gotten him a ring he likes). doesn't have to be anything extravagant, but definitely with the black diamonds. does he do payment or do you pay it all at one time?

Neil is awesome!!! If you have a picture of what you want just show it to him and his father can make it or he may have rings in stock with black diamonds, I can't remember actually I'm going to see him this weekend to get a watch and I will snap some pics for you.

 

The best part is he will let you pay what you want so long as he knows he's getting a sale....they are a great family business and go out of there way to make you happy.

I’m not sure what do.  I reach out to 3 travel agents base on brides on here went with Patty from Wright travel. My guest have not stop calling me complaining about the Airfare suggestion she is giving them. My mother reach out to her wanting to book the resort and inquired about airfare. Patty  suggested a 10hr flight to Punta Cana. My mother lives in NYC. My Girlfriend flying in from Chicago received a 14hr flight.  They both asked for a direct flight and I’m afraid to call and see if she got back to them. I’ve signed a contact with them and paid 2,000  to block off 20 rooms. What should I do?

WOW....that is awful...ae you're guests allowed to book their own airfare??? I had this problem initally and then I told my TA to only book the rooms and transportation and my guests will get their own airfare....Also I was able to get a group discount code through American Airlines to provide my guests in order to get a discounted flight & they can put a deposit on a ticket....I believe Miss Jali did a post on getting group discounted airfare!

That's why I went with American because it does matter where your guests leave from so long as they are all going to the same destination. They gave me a promo code and my guests enter it in the promo code section when they book.

I have always said that it was never something I wanted to do.  We had a very informal conversation about it and I knew right away that we would do a small destination so I didn't want him to feel pressured to get a ring and do a formal engagement (which I am waiting for... it doesn't have to be a big song and dance but he needs to do something sweet and romantic!!!) before he was ready ... Since I want that to all be a surprise I figured we could go ahead and start planning and the proposal will follow. I wanted to make sure I gave everyone plenty of time to plan their trip but  I don't want to hear any confused or snarky comments from people because I feel like it isn't anyone's business how we are planning our day so that is why we decided that for now we have only told those that are invited to the wedding that we are getting married... for everyone else (included those that we will invite to our AHR)  they can wait . . .

My FI and I have been together for 4 yrs and believe it or not we never talked about getting married, it was like unspoken that we knew we loved each other dearly and would be together forever (ring or not)....but out of the blue he proposed at dinner with a HUGE diamond and the rest is hisotry....so my theory is the longer a girl waits the bigger your diamond will be....lol

 

Haha Nice!

I'm not sure how that's going to affect my wedding date. i'm just trying to get through the weekend. Congrats on your last semester of Grad school. It will be over before you know it. YOu'll have so much free time you won't even know what to do with yourself. 

 

I have a great TA if you would like her info - just let me know!
