    money saving tips?

    DIY invitation kits. They're cheaper and you can always spice them up and make them nicer. Silk flowers can be cheaper and they last forever! Sales. I bought 20 flowers pots for 15 cents each because of a sale.

    Engagement Ring

    I was told that too. The three diamonds represent past, present and future. Which is one of the reasons I didn't want one (yet! ;)). Mine's very simple. It's a 1/2 carat diamond on a gold band. Very traditional. It's exactly what I wanted. Nothing fancy.

    Charlie & The Chocolate Factory

    I was a huge fan of the first one and I was absolutely horrified when I saw that they were making a remake (I'm sure if you search, you'll see that I made a post about how horrid it looked). But I decided to go see it. And I absolutely loved it. Yes, even more then the original. It was nice...

    How much?!?!?!

    It isn't a huge cathedral. It's an average size non-denominational church. I expected around $200. Here's the breakdown: $300 for use of the church $150 for the wedding coordinator (which is required) $100 for the custodian (which is required) $100 for the sound tech (which is required)...

    Should dating couples really do devotions together

    That's exactly my point. Is it wise to do that when you don't know that you're going to end up marrying that person? Should a spiritual bond on that level be made when you're purely dating, with no promise of marriage? Again, this is not directed towards engaged or married couples. There's a...

    Is French Kissing a Sin? Can Christians Kiss Before Marriage?

    I feel this way when I hold his hand. Should I stop? I feel this way when I look at him. Should I stop looking at him?

    Should dating couples really do devotions together

    What's been bothering the past few posts is that it's automatically assumed that because you're doing devotions together, then things are going to be good and if you don't, they're going to be bad. Don't assume that. Don't assume that your relationship is going to be good or is meant to be if...

    guys paying for girls

    I think it depends on the couple. My fiancee likes paying for me. He hates it when I have to pay for things. So I hardly pay for anything. But I do other things for him. I help him clean his apartment. I make meals for him. Bake him cookies. Make phone calls for him. Fill his gas tank with gas...

    How much?!?!?!

    A few days ago, my fiancee got a letter from the church we were hoping to get married in. It's going to cost us $650 to use the church. That price does not include the pastor. Is it me, or is that price ridiculously high? We're on a pretty tight budget and there's no way we can afford that...

    Soulmates

    No. We have free will. Am I to believe that every person who has stayed married found their soulmate? Out of billions? For the arguement that God directed them together, what about those who aren't believers? I do believe that God blesses a relationship. But I just can't believe that...

    Wedding Invitations

    You can buy those for about $15 or $20 at Walmart for the invitations. Don't forget that with ebay, you have shipping and handling. If you want those invitations, you probably should just go to Walmart and buy them.

    Invitations

    I saw a picture of your invites and I don't consider them simple at all. I think they're much nicer then some that I've seen! And mine are going to be much more simple then yours and not nearly as nice. Here's a basic idea of what mine are going to look like. If you have any suggestion to...

    Invitations

    My point was you said not to just buy paper and make them because it would cost a fortune. And that's not necessarily true. I bought things seperate and it's not costing a fortune at all. It just depends on what you buy, if you buy them on sale, where you buy it (example, Micheals tends to be...

    Invitations

    But on the other hand... I almost went with an invitation kit, but decided to make my own instead. With supplies, not including postage, it's running me $120 for 100. That's still cheaper then a lot of invitations. I looked online at several sites and most ran at least $110 for 100 for just...

    How long did you date before engagement?

    None of the above. Although we've had some rocky moments, we've been seeing how God is blessing the relationship (blessing the relationship and soulmates are two different things. I don't believe in soul mates). Based on our own individual wants, needs, and motives we're seeing confirmation...

    Should dating couples really do devotions together

    You don't have to do devotions together if you're just dating. I didn't. And there's no guarentee that because a couple does devotions together that God will bless the relationship. I didn't do devotions with my finacee when we were just dating. And I'm glad we didn't.

    Should dating couples really do devotions together

    Then he suffered the heartache from it. It's about protection. I'm not all about saving stuff. I've hugged my boyfriend. I've kissed him. But when it comes to spiritual closeness, that I think is important.

    Should dating couples really do devotions together

    Maybe I wasn't clear. This isn't about physical closeness. It's about spiritual closeness. With only a dating partner, yes, it could be beneficial. But is it really wise to get spiritually close with someone that you don't know that you're going to marry?

    Should dating couples really do devotions together

    My boyfriend and I don't do devotions together. We talked about it and decided not to do them. Why? Each of our relationship with God is the most important thing. Before our relationhip with each other, we need to keep that relationship with God first and foremost. By doing devotions...
