planning a wedding

[Arctic Rose]

I don't like flip flops, I don't like the part between the toes. So I would wear sandals, even though those are cute.

[nicolejoy]

I have "thong toes" apparently - I have a big gap between my big toe and my other toes - PERFECT for wearing thongs/flip flops depending where you come from in the world... I love my thongs and I wear them all summer!! Well, either thongs or sandals - I have a few pairs of each

[MsJennJenn]

I had an old childhood friend get married this weekend. And she wore red cowboy boots underneith her wedding dress lol.

[littlegal]

I don't like flip flops, I don't like the part between the toes.

That's the problem i have with flip flops too. 

[NessasMama]

I love flip flops!!! I used to wear them all winter long. But, I've gotten so I can't stand the cold, so I have to put socks on now, and they look pretty funky with flip flops!!!!

[nicolejoy]

That's when you need toe socks!!

[alohilani]

Leah used to be a nut for toe socks.

I wear flip-flops a LOT - that reminds me.. I need a pedi so that I can wear them again!

[mesipie]

i looooove flip flops...and i have worn them 1ce or twice with toe socks...that was sooo ugly...lol

[EmmazMommy]

i wear flip flops 99% of the time, and im NOT kidding ! my pastor usually laughs at me, he came in the other day and said " its 28 degrees, why are u wearing flip flops", bc it was snowing too lol !

[NessasMama]

I can't wait until it's warm enough to wear them again!!! But, when it's 5 below 0 I think that that's just a bit too chilly for my toes!!!!

[Heather]

i'm still thinking of going with flip flops. or possibly black heels. [i'm wearing a black jacket over my dress]

also the rings are in and i have to keep myself from wearing mine way to early. lol.

monday night we also decided on our wedding cake and his grooms cake. we also decided to do like a finger food receptions. finger sandwiches. fruit and veggie trays.

[Heather]

the wedding invites are in!!!! also my great aunt surprised me by sending thank you notes and envelopes for all of them. also she sent money for stamps and a little extra for any other wedding expenses. i have some of the best family!

[RandyWayne]

Speaking of rings, how many here wear their wedding bands attached to their engagement rings?
Being a guy, I usually know next to nothing on such things but my wife has told me she wants to buy a couple of wedding bands since she is sick of being asked about "our engagement" and "when is the wedding?".

(We've been married for close to three years now.)

[*Christi*]

My original wedding ring and engagement ring are sautered together.  I have gained quite a bit of weight since then.  I now have 2 plain bands and an anniversary type band that I wear depending on which one fits... LOL  So I have 4 rings in 4 different sizes.

[Nelle]

Socks with sandals or flip-flops - Please. Just Don't.


In honor of Elfkins (Elfin), think about the bunny.

[nicolejoy]

I wear a wedding ring and an engagement ring - they're both the same size, and they're not joined... but they "fit" together... The wedding ring is meant to be underneath the engagement ring, I don't know why - that's just the way it is Maybe Australia is different to the US though, I don't know

[NessasMama]

My wedding ring and engagement ring were not joined together, but, like nicoles, they fit together. The wedding ring went under the engagement ring also.

[Geri]

I don't wear them both yet, but Tyler bought this(^) wedding set. The band is a really simple thin gold band that follows the curve of the engagement ring and it fits in a notch in the engagement ring. I've thought of having them sautered together after the wedding. Any advice about that CRS?

I always heard that you wear the wedding ring under the engagement ring so that it is closer to you, or cause it's the most important or something. Someone somewhere decided to start a tradition LOL.

So.....anyone else having trouble with Mother-In-Laws who are assuming that every idea they come up with is going to happen? (I had a big long rant after this, but I felt better after typing it, so I decided to take it out lol). But seriously, anyone have any advice about diffusing the situation while staying in her good graces, at least as much as I've ever been lol.

[acjmom]

i would just gently remind her that it's your day, and while you would like her input, the final decision is yours.

on the ring thing....
my original wedding set was a diamond solitaire (engagement) with another thin band with a peice with diamonds that wrapped around the solitaire (together it looked almost like a rose with little leaves on one side).  i had them sautered together after a couple years cuz they would slide apart and bother me when i was clapping in church.  i later developed a sensitivity/allergy to the gold so my hubby bought me a new ring for an anniversary... it's platinum with 3 small diamonds across the top.  i would like to have a solitaire to go with it, but platinum isn't cheap. 

[*Christi*]

I loved having them sautered together.  If done properly nobody would ever know and you don't have to worry about them coming apart. 

Oh and I have always worn my wedding ring on the outside because it "seals" the engagement.

[randerzforya]

After the wedding I just stuck with wearing my band, the top is a row of princess cut diamonds, and it matched the engagement ring perfectly, but I just felt too...flashy, maybe?? lol I have fingers on the short side so wearing both (even though the bands are thin) was just too much.

[myhaloisintheshop]

I was always told to wear the wedding band on the bottom--your wedding coventant is the closest to your heart.

[Heather]

most the invites are out [my finace is slacking on getting some addresses]
the cakes are picked out and already had our tasting

i know i'm forgetting something else but it escapes me
