I was talking about my join date! This December 6 is 2 years! Woo Hoo!

Welcome! Negril is beautiful! I've heard really good things about MOon Dance Villas. I'm sure you'll find lots of helpful info on the forum!

 

Congrats and Happy Planning!

I assume you are taking stuff down and storing it for the wedding?

 

Here are some options:

 

Square Glass Vases 4" Aqua Ocean Blue $4.80 each

Amazon.com: Espana 11.125 Inch Tall Medium Round Glass Vase, Aqua: Kitchen & Dining

Medium Bubble Vases - Blue : Target

 

I don't know how many this seller has. At least 2!

Aqua Blue Art Glass Vase - eBay (item 260481505154 end time Sep-30-09 16:46:38 PDT)

 

I was at a shower this weekend and the hostess used tall shot glasses as bud vases! It was really cute! There was one at each place setting.

 

You could try to find some Mexican glass ones like these:

Blown glass shot glasses - Aquamarine (set of 6) - NOVICA

Amazon.com: Aqua Colored Reception Vase: Home & Garden

Do you have an Old Tyme Pottery close? Have you checked the standard JoAnne, Michael's, Hobby Lobby, Ikea, Pier One, etc?

 

I don't know what your budget is, but you could always check Etsy and see if anyone has any blown glass or hand painted glass vases.

 

Try googling Floral Supply places to try and get the vases in bulk.

I was checking to see when my BDW-versary is. I can't believe it has been almost 2 years!

So I finally caught up with my DVR and the last episode. The plot is pretty predictable but it still funny! The writing is so quick and witty that it doesn't really matter.

 

I was LOL-ing at all of the Beyonce dancing!

I had my solitaire re-mounted into my wedding set.

 

I'm sure any jeweler could do this for you, but I would go with a higher end or independent company as opposed to a mall jewler. Your best bet will probably be to call and get estimates.

 

Be sure to check out warranties/guarantees/insurance and find out who (if anyone) will be responsible for the work.

 

For example, when my ring was re-set we went with a different company than the one where my FI bought my ring. So, the second company (Shane, and they are fantastic) is responsible for my current setting. They do the cleanings, inspections, re-sizing, and will replace any stones/shanks/etc. Basically they will do anything to the ring EXECPT the center stone because we didn't purchase it from them. However, if my center stone were to be lost or damaged because of the settting, they will replace it with one of a similar quality.

 

If anything were to happen to my center diamond, we're SOL. The store where it was purchased, voided our warranty because they didn't remove or replace the stone.

I'm really liking Damon. He is incredibly hot for one thing! I always liked him on Lost. I don't exactly want to say he is a better actor but I think his character is more layered.

How much was your quote? Roses are usually on the cheaper side for flowers.

 

Regular daisies (not Gerbera) or Carnations are probably the only thing that will be less expensive. Tulips, Daffodils, Callas, etc. all have to be specailly ordered and shipped in.

 

Have you considered going with a high quality real-touch? A lot of the craft stores carry these and have great sales or you can use coupons. You can even DIY to save even more money.

Is anyone else still watching or just me??

 

I have to say that this show is much better than I thought. I'm really getting in to it! It's like if Buffy and Gossip Girl had a baby show. It's a little racy at times for a teen show, IMHO.

 

I read the books when they came out so I very vaguely remember what is going on. I also just finished the author's opther series so it's interesting to see her style sort of tied in.

OMG So jealous! I would love to see the live show!

 

I'm ready for the Top 20. I know next week is Atlanta but then is it Vegas week? How much longer do we have to wait?

I love those! I might have to have a party and steal some of her ideas. The maps and stamps are great!

NO!!! That hurts my feelings! I would rather him be married to some gorgeous Norwegian with 6 lil' platinum blonde babies!

She irritates me for some reason and she used to bang Marilyn Manson which makes her gross. So, in a distant way, Eric/Alex has slept with MM and Rose McGowan...yuck.

Oh, and Vin Disel would make a great Quinn!

Happy Birthday Erika! I hope it's a great one!

Thanks for the update! maybe I can actually get some work done today!

The make up looks great!

 

I don't wear much anymore so it does feel a little strange when I get all dolled up. I don't think it was too heavy at all. It might be better to wear a little more so it shows up in pictures.

Those are beautiful! Did you do your own make-up? I love your eyes.

Welcome to the club Jenn!

 

I watched the first season then started reading the books. At first I wasn't a big fan of the writing and I found the books to be a little dated so I took my own creative license with them! But they are easy, fun reads and can help fill the vampire void of the next 63 days!

Lisa - I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed Lauren. I thought I was seeing things and DH didn't want to stop the show for me to rewind and pause.

Thanks for the laugh!

I loved it! DH and I always sing along in our living room. I love that we have a show we are both really excited about!

It was a good show. I, big softy that I am, cried for the hearing impaired girl and the same sex ballroom boys. They were really good!

 

I'm excited for Vegas and the Top 20 though!

OK, Kat wins!

I know that our SOs all drive us crazy, it's natural. But sometimes they do things that are so sweet and surprising! We need to talk about those things too!

 

So, I'll start...

 

My DH sent me flowers for my birthday yesterday. They didn't arrive so he was really bummed. When he talked to the company they appologized and sent another bouquet out. Well, my original flowers got her this morning and I have another bunch coming tomorrow! I'm super excited because I love getting flowers!

I'm so sad! It feel like part of my childhood is dead.

 

I still watch Dirty Dancing, Ghost, and Roadhouse every time they are on! I know the group dance and dialogue og DD by heart!

I just foudn this on the HBO sponsored boards! Ha Ha!
