Love the colors!

Wow these are really cute!

Very nice!

What about silver, pink or blue?

I would offer to pay him the difference.

Thank you!!

We won't be doing that or the bouquet toss. I find the whole garter thing awkward. I've felt that way at every wedding I've ever attended.

If I could have it my way, this is what I would do. Of course my parents would have a hissy fit.

I'm in the same boat. I don't deal with either side of my family like that. And neither does FI. And to add icing to the cake, the majority would not be able to travel to the wedding for financial reasons anyway. I thought about sending invites to everyone but it'd be a waste of $$ in my opinion. I've decided to just invite a select few people. The grandparents, and immediate relatives that we actually do deal with. If you are concerned about feelings being hurt (in my case I'm not really concerned), then maybe you should at least send the invites. Just be to be safe.

Wow this thread blew up...

I changed it that next day. But I have the notification turned off for relationship status so it didn't pop up in my newsfeed or anything. People only saw it if they happened to visit my page.

That's definitely a plus.

No. I won't be able to take that amount of time off from school during a semester. I didn't really want to get married over summer break. That's why I'd rather wait until after graduation.

Welcome!

Wow engaged in Italy? Sounds like it was wonderful! Congratulations and welcome to the forum!

Congratulations and welcome to the forum!

Congratulations and happy planning!

Welcome to the board!

Welcome!!!

Welcome to the forum!

No you're not being unreasonable. I wouldn't like it either. Does he not see the issue? He should wait until after the wedding. He could do it that night once they get back to their room. Or the next morning. He waited all this time why can't he wait another day?

Wow these are really nice!

Very sexy!
