    Why Oh WHY?!?!?!?!

    The seamstress at the boutique where I got my dress said they could add straps or cap sleeves onto any dress I picked. They even brought out a pair of pretty straps and cap sleeves and pinned them to strapless gowns I tried on so I could see the effect. It's worth asking about. They ordered...

    Veil or No Veil?

    I wore a veil and it covered my face. I loved that about it. I had fingertip length in the front that covered my face and cathedral in the back just past my train. I wavered a little bit a couple days before the wedding, but I'm so glad I kept it over the face. It was so sweet, and I will...

    Worship songs for weddings...

    A dear friend of ours sang two songs by Watermark, "Captivate Us," and "Knees to the Earth." Our congregational hymn (that everyone sang) was "O God Beyond All Praising," and I also like "Praise My Soul, the King of Heaven." Our mothers and grandmothers were seated during "Great is Thy...

    The diamond in my engagement ring is from my grandmother's aunt's engagement ring from the 1800s.... so maybe going antique can help avoid the issue? Becca

    Did anyone move from their parents' to live with their husband/wife and regret it?

    I will be moving straight from my parents' to my husband's in 2 weeks after our wedding. I wouldn't want it any other way. My parents and one of my closest friends did the same thing. It's what has suited me best, and I am thankful for the way things have worked out. I get to go from a home...

    Rings! What's yours like? Who chose it?

    I have a European cushion cut as the center stone--it was my grandmother's aunt's engagement diamond from the 1800s. DF had it set in a hand-made, custom white-gold setting with a milgrain edge and 7 bead set diamonds on either side of the center stone. It's beautiful, and the setting...

    Wedding Planners (the book kind)

    I got a book called The Christian Wedding Planner, and I've also made a binder on my own to keep track of things. You can write stuff in the planner I bought, but it also explains everything, and I mostly use it for reference and keep track of stuff in my 3 ring binder, b/c I can add pockets...

    Chasing the wind?

    I just wanted to point out that two people with the same Myers-Briggs temperament type are not going to be exactly the same in personality, and temperament type can pronounce itself in slightly different ways. Sure there are tendencies, but that does not mean the N traits will be pronounced in...

    Having a relatives engagement ring ???

    My engagement ring is made from my grandmother's aunt's engagement ring. The diamond was set in her engagement ring in the 1800s. Later on it was removed and put in a dinner ring setting. Then it was offered to my fiance and me to incorporate in my engagement ring. I loved the idea, so my...

    Registration

    We just started our registries at Target, Linens and Things, Crate & Barrel, and Dillard's. We did some overlapping so that we can return extras and use the credit to buy things we don't receive at showers or as wedding gifts. Also, some of my parents' friends will go to Dillards only, so we...

    First kiss?

    I was 22 when I had my first kiss (less than a year ago) with my now-fiance. He is the only person I have dated and the only person I have kissed. We will not "French kiss" until after we are married. It is a blessing to wait--at least, it was for me. ;) ~Becca

    Anyone know about Taylor U.?

    My brother and sil are both Taylor (Upland) graduates. If it were closer to home, I would have gone there in a heartbeat. To me, the campus feels prayed over, the students and faculty are friendly and helpful. Ft. Wayne is bigger than Upland, so if you're concerned about size but looking at...

    Where did you find him/her

    We first met through the college ministry at church. :) We were both helping set up a "back to school" cookout ("Holy Smoke" :)), talked on and off after that. About 6 months later he started coming to the same Sunday school class as I attended, we attended the same summer Bible study, and we...

    Length of time before getting engaged?

    Matt and I dated for about 10 months before he proposed (10.02.04), and we'll have a year long engagement. I had known him for almost 2 years before we started going out, and a month after our first "date" he formally asked permission to date me, so we'd actually been together 11 months. We...

    Honeymoon....

    I was really hoping to go to Seaside, Sandestin, or Charleston, etc. But then all the hurricanes this season got me so worried! We're getting married October 15 next year, and this year October was more calm as far as hurricanes, but it still makes me nervous. We'll see.... ~Becca
