. Why do they keep calling your ring a promise ring? That is a complete and udder outrage, I have plenty of friends who have pearls for their engagement rings or at least had a pearl somewhere on the ring itself. My DF just happened to buy me my pearl ring as a promise ring a few years back and now that I have an engagement ring I still wear the pearl on the opposite hand. I have even had friends that have used sapphires as their ring. The pearl I have was actually listed an engagement ring on the site so that woman you are talking to needs to do a little research, lol. You must have a lot of patience with those ppl because I would be on fire!
Honestly though, I think it goes better with the type of hair style you want to go with.
I like it too...but I was thinking of maybe no blue (but the pearls I mentioned) more yellow? Or should I just keep it the way it is?wow, what an update! I know I'm going to forget some stuff in here
I like all the hair inspiration pics, the third one is actually one that I'm thinking about too. For the first one, you could definitely still do a veil, I would wear it kinda low in the back. Have you thought about maybe doing a sparkly headband? I like them because they add some sparkle but have a more modern look than tiaras. You could also do a really nice comb in the back but the headband or pins might work better with that style.
I say side-swept bangs, I think it will look more romantic.
On the flowers, I love the bouquet with the orchids and I like the BM bouquets they way they are in the picture.
Great deal on the shower / rehearsal dresses. Show us some pics!
Oh I have a lifetime warranty! they have to keep dealing with me! Even if I loose the pearl..its all covered. Thats why I deal with their crap. I don't know why they can't get it into their heads that its my engagement ring. it may be that I look like i'm 12 most of the timeWell, I did buy my ring from a different jeweler so that might be another reason why I have had so many problems with mine, don't lose hope! But to be on the safe side make sure you get your ring insured quickly just in case you do lose the pearl, that way no matter how many times it breaks you can bring it in and they will replace it no questions asked and you should get a free cleaning which is nice
Voting for the side swept bangs, because that's what I like
I didn't have that 1st hair picture as an inspiration pic... But I do now
he left a message saying "sorry I missed you but I will call back tomorrow between 4-5" Well first why won't you call back today? GEEZ So I call him because of course now I have his number (got to love caller id) and he doesn't answer so I leave a message asking for him to call back and yes I am available to talk right now. so I wait.....and wait...no call back and I have go to class. So yesterday I was like there is NO WAY I am missing this call. So after class at 4 I just stayed at school, I didn't want to get on a train and miss his call....so I sat for an HOUR waiting and watching my phone. HE NEVER CALLED!!! So another thing to complain about....by the time it was 5 customer service just closed and I couldn't complain then. So Now I have to call and complain after work today. I'm getting really sick of all this crap. btw I still have my ring....it is sitting on my dresser..in the box it came in waiting for love! can you imagine if I left it with them to fix? I would be panicking...its bad enough it has to sit at home, but at least I know its there.. 
I've just been looking through your PJ and I love your plans so far!! Honestly, I think you look great in both of those dresses (Rehearsal and shower) and that is me being brutally honest...!
Bob xoxoxox
Nice seeing another 'at home' bride here! I honestly think both dresses look brilliant on you!
too good!!
LOVE the pumpkins...is one a koolaid man
I really like both the dresses. I know how you feel with the whole weight thing (although you do not look bad at all!!) Honestly, I find strapping a belt around the upper waist makes me feel slimmer. Do you have a wide black belt? You could put it around the seem that separates the bust and skirt of the second dress, and if you are wearing black leggings/tights, it will look really good! It may not be your style, so just a suggestion!
Either way, the both look great!

I have to see how money goes. The chairs are brown (you can see them on the first page of my PJ) with purple cushions with i hate so I really want them covered so that $4 a chairhmmm.... I think you should so maybe yellow sashes on the chairs. that'll add your yellow in... or you could do the napkins in yellow. Or you can alternate by the table... so one table navy blue, one table yellow.
I LOVE the pumpkins and i like the first dress the best!
so Maybe if I can kind a lot of cheap ribbon (or fabric) ...I have to see with the napkins because she said they were bright which you never know what that means...BOO haha I guess I have to wait...but I don't want to!!! Maybe it wouldn't hurt to see the yellow linens? The banquet manager might think they're too bright, but they may not have what you're thinking in mind? I know when I painted my bedroom a few years back I wanted yellow, and I mean bright yellow. I kept picking out yellows off the colour chart, and the painter kept saying that they'd be too bright and not what I wanted. In the end I went with the yellow that I had originally picked out, and while the painter kept telling me it would be too bright, it was exactly what I wanted
Other then that, I think yellow sashes on the chairs would be a good idea too, and I deffinately don't see anything wrong with keeping the programs all yellow with the blue ribbon.
this is the closest I could find to soaking up! haha its funny. I amuse myself
I think we're all most critical of ourselves, but other people don't notice those things and would never even think those things. So I try to look for the good things and compliment myself, like, what would you say to your best friend if it were her? And then say that to yourself. That's a pretty funny smiley for "soaking it in"
