I'm a simple girl, so I like simple solitaire rings.

Absolutely nothing wrong with being simple, the simple the better : )!

Hehehe, I just discovered this create your wedding thing on David's Bridal. It's so much fun! XD

whats the website?

haha we both clearly have fantastic taste Eternity bands are my favorite, I think they would like nice on my fingers
That ring is beautiful! I know that you can build your own ring on bluenile.com. They have really good prices there too, compared to most other jewelers.Oh and I love that dress! That lace and beading is to die for. I have a thing for mermaid silhouettes. I posted my dream dress on here earlier (page 7)

Thanks, i def. love that dress.. just something about it. I love the mermaid silhouette... hopefully it actually looks good on me when the time comes.. although i have to be honest, i do have a few pounds to lose.

This is what my Bridal Party looks so far and half is missing. Hehehe

Wow. Thats soo cute.

Yeah, I totally have to join in! I've been dating DBF for almost 2 1/2 years (will be 2.5 in November ) but it hasn't been all rainbows and butterflies, if you catch my drift! LOL...we love each other deeply though and that's all that matters, right? Right!

We like to call each other high school sweethearts even though we started dating the day after graduation haha. I have about two years before I finish my BS in Hospitality and Tourism Management and then off I go to Orlando to work for the Mouse himself! He's going to flight school soon so we're just set to go to every Disney park in the world for virtually nothing! Gotta love how these things work!

Hope you guys don't mind me playing along!

Hey.. welcome... I def. agree that as long as you love each other deeply.. thats all that matters. its been a long, tuff almost 3 years for us...but I don't know what i would do without him, we love each other and thats what keeps us together. : )

I"m def. hella jealous that your off to work for the Mouse himself, i hope you have a BLAST : ) I once had an interview, last year actually, then i chickened out and we drove ALLLLLL the way back home.

That is gorgeous!! I am not quite sure if I would be happy with an engagement ring that isn't a diamond...but how I do love those yellow sapphires!!

Thought I would show you girls my engagement ring from my first marriage...along with a little story.

When my grandmother was in her early 20's, her brother wanted to propose to his girlfriend. Their mother gave them him the ring to propose with (can't remember if it was hers or she bought a new one). The engagement didn't end up happening, but my grandmother got the ring when she was engaged to my grandfather. Fast forward YEARS later and the diamond falls out As a suprise anniversary present, my grandfather replaces the diamond in her ring.

When my grandmother heard that we were getting married (let's remember...wedding planning before engagement ) She offered that ring to me. Well it wasn't really my style (3 stone, yellow gold)...but the jewelers my family uses said they could take the diamond out and put it in another ring

I love love love my engagement ring, but sadley refuse to wear it. When I have some extra cash, I want to take the diamond back out and put it in something I WILL wear.

Caribbeanprincess - I love the two dresses on the left the most, but the entire look you have there is gorgeous. I'm a sucker for red dresses and red roses

MariaLovesJon<3 - The two dresses you posted made my jaw drop. They are beautiful! Do you happen to know who the designers are and the style name/number?

disneychickforever - Gorgeous ring! I really like that setting.

Mandy - Your old engagement ring is beautiful and I love the story about your grandparents.

Has anyone thought about what time of the year or the month you would want to get married on? Or any ideas on theme or venues at Disney? I must admit, I have

Oh, thank you! Yes, red is my favorite color so I decided to use it a lot. I want everyone's bouquets to be red roses and the colors for my wedding are silver, white and red. The person closes to me there would be my best friend, she's dressed in silver because she wants to be my flower girl even though she's way over that age.

Oh, don't worry, I have the whole thing planned!
I'd like to get married around October, because Halloween is my favorite holiday. So I was thinking somewhere between Oct. 12-23. As for venues, yes, I want a Disney Intimate wedding as it's all I could afford for now. I want it to be at the WP and then have dinner at California Grill and do the Grand Gatherings Wishes cruise for my friends and family.

 

[MainStMandy]

I have definitely thought about it, lol. The problem is what I want conflicts. I would love to do pink and green...and have a ton of cool stuff picked out like pink shoes and jewelry. BUT if I do get my DFTW it will have to be in an off season when it's cooler (my dad HATES hot weather and Disney )

I saw pics once of someone who got married on the beach at the WP...it was gorgeous but I think those are few and far between and probably only for a Wishes Wedding. So my second choice would be SBP in the morning, with brunch afterwards.

ETA: I found this in the JCPenny Jewelry sale ad...Mom is going to try to hint to dbf this weekend, lol

MariaLovesJon<3 - The two dresses you posted made my jaw drop. They are beautiful! Do you happen to know who the designers are and the style name/number?

Aww, thanks! The second one is a St. Pucchi, style number 9264. It's crazy expensive though...that's why it's the *DREAM* dress! The first one is MUCH more affordable and it's a Maggie Sottero "Victoriana". I think LaurainWonderland has the dress actually...it looks so stunning in real life!

Hi! Yeah, the thing with us is that we're so alike character wise that we just clash sometimes. Basically, we're both strong-minded and stubborn...I mean it's not something that I can't live with but sometimes it's just a little much to handle! But we both are really working on it (and we're actually starting to notice the difference in the dynamic of our relationship now!) and things have seriously never been better!

Yep, I'm extremely anxious to finish college and get my bachelor's degree in Hospitality and get my Event Coordinator certificate! I totally want to work for DFTW! I'm actually working as a Wedding/Social Events Coordinator at a Hilton resort near my house and it's just fabulous (even though, it is kind of boring compared to having all the choices for ceremony/reception like WDW!). Maybe I'll be helping you lovely ladies plan your weddings in the future!

I *LOVE* those two rings you posted in the beginning Mandy! They are so vintage and delicate looking!

I guess not for too long now...

What the heck happened to our thread??

 

[Raecheal]

What the heck happened to our thread??

someone has taken over lol

 

[Caribbeanprincess]

Ok, back on topic, lol
How about posting a pic of you and your man! lol
Here's me and my man (ok, boy, but only for 1 more year XD) at prom

 

[DisneyBrideToni]

Ok. I have kept my mouth shut about this thread for quite a while and I can't do it anymore. I don't understand how this is related to wedding planning. This thread offers no advice for any brides planning their weddings and is off topic. A few months ago many members got kicked off for being "cliquey" and off topic and now we have the same thing going on and I just don't think its right to allow some to do something and not allow others. Also, this seems to be like the off topic thread they used to have before but also shut down because of people being cliquey. I think that is going down the same road and before problems arise I think the moderators should shut this thread down. I am sure I will be flamed for this post but I felt the need to say this and I don't mean it to be a b**ch.

 

[Caribbeanprincess]

I don't think we are off topic. We are planning our weddings, just not for the immediate future. I think this a place for those of us who are not yet engaged but are planning a wedding in the near future can get together and discuss various aspects of that. I feel very awkward going into other topics here on the wedding forums and asking questions when I'm not really getting married anytime soon. So this is kind of a safe heaven for those of us that feel that way.

 

[Donald'sGirl]

I disagree. This is not on topic at all. This forum is people who are engaged and planning immediate Disney weddings, Vow Renewals and Honeymoons. Not people who are assuming they are getting married in the near future. When you do get engaged come back and ask your questions then!!! When it is for real and not fake!

Sorry if I am offending anyone but I am sorry this thread is absolutely no help to anyone but the people fantasizing when the rest of us have real issues to discuss!

 

[dawrobin]

Ladies- there is a not engaged yet thread on the knot and that is probably more appropriate........

 

[Caribbeanprincess]

I just don't see the issue of it being bothersome to the rest of the people planning their weddings. It's a single thread that you don't have to visit if you don't want to. I would understand if there were multiple threads on the same topic, that would be very bothersome, but I don't see the harm in this.

 

[dawrobin]

Carribbean- I am not trying to rude in any way but since you are new you don't have a lot of background I thought I would help.

Many people have gotten in "trouble" for being OT, even when it was semi related wedding stuff. The mods have cracked down saying this board needs to be for those planing weddings or HM at Disney and for those who have had them and want to provide additional info to assist those in the planning process.

This has been a great haven for that, and we have all gotten lots of great info. But to clog up the page with OT threads and responses is confuing to those looking for planning info and wasting our time.

Good luck to you and your BF and I wish you the best, but I know many of us come here needing accurate info and guidance and cab't be distracted with these OT threads.

This is all I will say on it since I have planing to do, and hopefully the mods will intervene.

I just wanted yout o have a little background why some of us are gtting snarky with this thread.

I fail to see why this is considered off-topic. No, most of us on here are not getting married any time soon, but this was started as a place where all lurkers could fess up. None of us meant any harm and even a few nice, real brides were very welcoming and kind at the beginning. It did probably get side tracked along the way, even if that wasn't our intention. I can only speak for myself when I say that I love reading all the PJs and TRs, but quite honestly I don't feel comfortable posting a comment simply because I am not engaged/married.

I don't think we are at all a "clique" I highly doubt anyone in here would shun anyone else who is actually getting married. We welcome everyone in this thread, married, engaged, whatever you may be. In fact, I'm pretty sure one bride came in here looking for some help and some of us helped her out as best as we could. I'm sure we would be ready and willing to do the same. Just because we may not be planning, doesn't mean we don't know a thing or two about weddings.

We were all just trying to be part of this board in our own way. This very thread is how some of got the courage to finally come out of lurkdom and post. There is no need to be so rude, unwelcoming, and dare I say, clique-y
