Cool! I have found it is fairly easy to work with. Most shades of pink look good together even if they aren't exactly the same. Where as it bugs me if shades of red are a little different

So this weekend was a really good one. I got to spend a lot of time with DF and I got my new ring. When we first got engaged he told me that my pearl ring was just for the proposal and he wanted us to pick out one together. After trying to avoid it for months and telling him over and over I love the pearl one we finally decided on a ring.
So more on the ring. In August a family friend of DF's gave him a ring as a gift for our wedding since he hadn't chosen one yet. Well turns out the diamond in the ring was worth, well it could have paid for our entire wedding including travel etc. The only prob was the ring was not really my style. So sine his family friend was a jewelery distrubuter in NYC he told us that he would have a ring made for me all we needed to do was decide on one. So after looking around this is what I decided on.

So after weeks of waiting the ring finally got here this weekend. Of course DF hid it from me and did a cute proposal of sorts on main street, he is such a sweetie. Anyway I love the ring!! After we tried to take pics of it for hours but it always just turns out as a bright blur due to the quality of the diamond so no picture of it yet.

Oh I almost forgot I got my wedding band too. It is just a simply Tiffany band. No picture yet. The engraving is ...and they lived happily ever after

Yeah it is very nice. However I am so super paranoid all of the time. I eat a chip and I want to take it off

 

[MainStMandy]

Aww beautiful ring!!

 

[rebecca_boo]

Aww beautiful ring!!

Thanks.

So random story. On Sunday I had some things to do so DF decided just to be safe that he would go get the diamond tested to make sure that it wasn't switched out. Well he went to two jewelery stores and both asked DF to propose to them. Another wanted to buy it on the spot. I think I may get mugged by some random jeweler lady.

So I haven't updated in awhile so here is a few updates.

First off DF and I decided that it would be a good idea to take a few days off from wedding planning because the stress was really getting to me. So after a few days off, okay I must admit I sneaked on here a few times, I feel much much better. I realized that the most important things of the wedding are planned and anything else is just extra that isn't nearly as important.

Also my mom came on Thursday night. I was really excited but nervous because I finally got to try on my dress. The whole dress process has been quite a pain. Since I was getting a more modest dress I ended up having to find one online which I really did like, but anyway it was supposed to get here no later than the first week of October we had paid extra for rush and everything. Well it didn't arrive till the third week of October when I was already back to school and couldn't go home. So my mom finally found time to come up here. We were really hoping that the alterations would be slight since we only had one month to fix it instead of 2 months like we should have. So I tried it on I loved it but there was one big problem it didn't zip there was about a 2 inch gap near my rib cage where it wouldn't zip. So of course I panicked and got very upset especially since the wedding is 5 weeks away.

So what are you planning to do with the dress? Surely someone will be able to get that fixed up in less then 5 weeks??

Oh geez Bec I just realized that I didn't copy the whole thing over.... I guess I wanted some suspense I will get to posting that.

After a lot of tears and a very long night I woke up feeling super bad, I seriously wanted to stay under the sheets and never ever get up. Thankfully my mom was there and she started calling around and we did find a lady who could do it. We went and she made me feel much better I could tell she really knew what she was doing, my mom who does a lot of sewing agreed. She told me she had taken out one dress 8inches which made me feel a lot better as well as her having to fix a lot of dresses from a certain other bridal shop ( I am pretty sure it was David's Bridal) She didn't think that altering the dress would be any problem, so bridezilla moment averted. She was worried that I wouldn't want to pay $15 for her to put the like 20 buttons back on the dress, too cute. Anyway she charged $165 for it all which I didn't think was too bad but I really don't know much about alteration costs.

So I have my next fitting this Saturday I am hoping this solves most of the problems so she can then get all the other alterations and bustle done so I can ship the dress out before but we will see. It was such a relief once we got that done and we shopped the rest of the day and now most everything of my wedding is planned.

Now I just need to stop eating so she doesn't have to take the dress out another 3 inches.

 

[rebecca_boo]

There isn't too much to update but I have been in a but of a rutt lately. I am a little dissapointed that I don't have anyone to go with me to my dress fitting on Saturday. My family all lives 5 hours away and I really don't have any girl friends that I am close enough with for me to feel comfortable with at the fitting. My best friend who is a guy I know would give me his opinion but I just don't think we would be quite comfortable. So I guess I will be going to my fitting by myself, well DF is going but he is just going to sit in the other room. Support from a distance!

Anyway my wedding is less then 5 weeks away and I really wish it was just tomorrow I am getting very antsy. I hate being away from him all the time. It's almost all over though.

 

[figment fan21]

Oh i just went through this with my sister... what is with the solo dress fittings lately?! I agree that is makes you feel really depressed but i'm glad your DF is going to go an support from a distance. If i couldn't find anyone to go with me to mine on Monday DF said he'd do the same thing. We have great guys!

You'll have to post pics!

Hey Katie I was glad you were able to find someone to go with you, especially for the first fitting!! I am trying to get over it mainly because I know I could find someone to go its just not someone i would feel completly comfortable with. DF keeps saying he would help me put it on and take it off with his eyes closed such a liar WE do have great guys!

 

[girli565]

I'm sorry you have to go alone! But just think, you won't be alone at your wedding. I'm sure your mom or best friend are just as sad that they can't come for the fitting.

Keep happy thoughts in your mind and your wedding will be here before you know it!

So a small non wedding related update.
I turned my big paper for the semester in today, so I feel great! Well I have only slept 2 hours since 10 am on Thursday but I still feel great. DF is coming this weekend too oh and I get to try on my dress again It is going to be a great weekend!

 

[Chilly]

Have fun trying your dress on tomorrow.

 

[jodywgirl]

I wish I could have been there for your dress fitting sweetie, it really bites that you are 5 hours away and when you get married you will be farther it will be good to see you during thanksgiving. By the way you need to fill me in about the first part of your story
