    Tying on another woman's engagement ring?

    in Wedding Etiquette, Traditions, to dos

    Posted

    Ann - i don't think you said anything "weird" - i think that response was WERID if anything.

     

    in regards to the ring - i always let my friends try my rings on - and vice versa - it is fun and sometimes it is nice to see what your ring(s) look like on someone else b/c you are always looking down at them which is a warped point of view.

     

    at my bach party we were in the pool all day drinking for one of the days and i made my cousin wear my e-ring for like 4 hours b/c she was napping and drinking champagne out of the pool - my jeweler drilled in my head that long term chlorine would be bad for the type of ring i have. she didn't want to give it back - it was kind of funny!

     

    plus i am not that superstitious and my relationship with my DH is not dependent on a material object - i would rather lose my rings ANY DAY than lose my DH - they are replaceable material objects.

    There are so many choices and each offer such different packages, inclusions and extras.

    Sometimes you have a few questions but it's hard to get a hold of the wedding coordinator.

    You can't do a site visit but would like to see photo's of the property.

    If any of those apply to you please join us on one of our monthly Destination Wedding- Honeymoon webinars.

    Each month the BDW TA's will feature a different resort. Look here for updates and schedules!
    Hey Jennifer - this is great info! i am going to move this to the Travel forum for you!

    Its not a dumb system, I think it makes a lot of sense to only let those who contribute use the resources.

    So again, thank you both for clarifying - I'll be fine without it, and I'll just have to wait until I get home to get the darn file off my own computer.

    I just assumed (incorrectly) that files that I post I would be able to download and open, particularly since it seems like the forum keeps track of who posts which files. (in user CP) Since the forum doesn't, it makes some sense that the post number then comes into effect.

    I'm wondering if maybe the files I was able to open were ones from before the change occured. Maybe that explains how I was able to open a lot of them.

    And people get frustrated with having to post 150 times because the vast majority of those first 150 posts are going to be meaningless comments. I don't know about other people, but I know that if I am going to comment on something, I want it to be actually contributing to the conversation - not just a random comment made to up my post numbers. I also only want to post if my topic a) hasn't been already covered, which normally it has, so I don't have to post, I only have to creep what other people have already discussed. This keeps the number of duplicate posts down, but does limit the number of posts I can make. or B) I only want to post if I have a question about something taht either hasn't been covered, or if I want further clarification. And finally c) I will post only if I feel I am giving a valid point or support to another persons question or post.

    Jeepers. I wasn't complaining about how the forum was run, I just wanted to know why I couldn't open an attachement I had posted.

    P.S. I'm having a bad day. Sorry if I am being mean/rude or something. I don't mean to be.

    that all makes sense. if you want to PM me a link to your document and your email i will open it and send it to you :)

    MOH preggers?

    in Destination Wedding Dresses, Wedding Attire & rings

    Posted

    I was just a BM in a wedding 2 weeks ago and was 21 weeks preggo at the time of the event. It was not a DW but an outdoor garden wedding where the bride wanted the bridal party dressed pretty formally. it was NOT easy trying to guess what size i would be - i wound up having my cousin make me a BM dress in the color and material of another one of the dresses.

     

    so she makes the dress and then the week before the wedding i had a total growth spurt and she had to alter everything - the bust was too tight.

     

    i would suggest selecting a color and letting the girls buy their own dresses or a versatile dress like the convertible dress from Victoria's Secret.

     

    is your MOH small or bigger to tstart with? it really matters if she will be all belly or not - i am not huge in the belly but my ass and breasts have changed A LOT!

     

    plus all this is assuming she gets pregnant right away she might not get preggo for a year or she could only be 3 months at he time of your DW.

     

    good luck!

    indexing an entire subforum for shopping and coupons is a lot of work and since it is not wedding related doesn't really make sense for BDW.

    i suggest using the search like Ann suggested above and you can look for whatever store you want - also make sure to subscribe to the coupon thread!

    actually i think we got the small - the Abby - at the time we were ordering i didn't see the large as an option. but for me i wouldn't have gotten the large anyway - the one i got is perfect and i HATE huge bags.

    Ann, how are you liking the zipper?

    Alyssa, do you feel like things will be safe enough with the snap closure? My only concern with snaps is having items that would usually be in my purse fall out.
    well i am usually all about zippers but the way they have the snaps on this nothing is coming out - it is really secure- i have tested it a few times and stuffed it lol


    Thanks for the recommendation! Both of your bags are adorable!
    yep! they are great vendors - i am really happy with it! :)

    RANT- screaming babies in fancy restaurants

    in Just venting or funnies

    Posted

    that sucks sad.gif i have to say i am pregnant and i would never take an infant to a fancy restaurant unless he/she was well behaved - if the baby had a meltdown in the middle of the place either me or my DH would have to take it outside / to the car until it calmed down.

     

    and i don't really have a problem with "adults only restaurants" just like their are AI's that are adults only.

    Sarongs: Where to buy them?

    in Wedding Registry, Wedding Gift Bags, and OOT bags

    Posted

    Hi ladies,

     

    there were 3 threads about this topic so i merged them all.

     

    also - i bought my BM's hand-painted sarongs as part of their gifts from me.

     

    i bought them on Amazon.com

     

    Amazon.com: Hand-painted Flowers on Vivid Pastels: Apparel

     

    they had about 4 more colors last year when i bought them - they were $10 each and i bought each girl (6 of them) a different color

     

    i paired it with these...

     

    Amazon.com: COCONUT SARONG TIES: Apparel

     

    i put these in their gift bags with a bunch of other stuff! :)
