More stupid Wedding Buzz drama!

A girl posted this in the forum.  Although it is not about herself, or so she says, can you believe that a girl would do this?

My best friend is a bit of a drama queen with relationships, as in, she has sabotaged every relationship she's had.  She is/was supposed to be getting married November 2011 and keeps "postponing or cancelling" the wedding on a regular basis.  Everytime they have an argument or a disagreement, she notifies all of us that the wedding is postponed or cancelled.  The next day or week, it is back on.  I asked her why she does this and apparently it's to prove a point to her FH.  Ok, that's fine and dandy, but you have bridemaids that are afraid to buy their dresses in case the wedding gets cancelled or postponed.  FYI, these are not huge arguments they are having, it is little things that normal people would just talk out, NOT cancel their wedding for.  Opinions?  Would any of you ever do this to your FH, family and wedding party?  Its ridiculous, I personally think.

Cancelling it to prove a point?  if I was that man, I would have left her after she pulled that the first time... How people have patience for such stupidity is beyond me!

So I was looking online at the dress I want my mom to wear for my wedding.  I was talking to my sister and having her look at it online to talk about it with her.  Well, I always add what i like to my shopping cart when looking to see the prices with shipping, tax etc., so I added my mom's dress to my shopping cart on David's Bridal.  Well, when my sister got to the page the size my mom would need showed it was unavailable; meaning I had the last size 4 in my shopping cart.  I couldn't let it go then!  So I bought it!  I returned the other gifts I had gotten my mom for Christmas, and this will be her gift.  She has been really depressed because of her financial situation; she hasn't paid some bills in 3 months because she does not have the money to afford it.  I felt bad asking her to find a dress since most of the fancy dresses for Mother's of the Bride are a couple hundred dollars.  So this one was on sale from $198 to $99.99 with free shipping.  I hope she likes it and that she doesn't see me as being stingy but as trying to be thoughtful and helpful.

I love it.  Since my bridesmaid dresses are pool and oasis, blue toned colors, this should blend well.  I believe the MOB (Mother of the Bride) is supposed to wear something in the same color family as the bridesmaids to compliment each other.  I think this is beautiful, and I hope she does too!

Now to find a complimentary dress for the Mother of the Groom!!

Last Day of November

Today marks 298 days until my wedding.  This is the last November I will have as a single woman.  It is pretty exciting to think of it like that.  I cannot wait for 298 more days to say "I do." 

So for Christmas I gave Steve a list of jewelry I would like to wear for the wedding.  He wanted to buy me jewelry, which he does every year, so I provided him with pictures of what I like the best.  I picked out pearl jewelry.  I really want to wear pearls on my wedding day as it is my birth stone.  I would love to have a nice necklace, either a strand or a pendant, and pearl earrings.  I think that would look beautiful with my dress.

I cannot wait for Christmas.  I love spending the time with my family.  We will spend Christmas day here in Sturbridge and then spend the next 3-4 days on the Vineyard with my family!

300 Days!

Today marks 300 days from our wedding.  Tomorrow we will enter the 200's!  It is all so exciting and time is going by so fast.  I cannot believe how times is whizzing by!

Sheila was over last night for the Buffone family Thanksgiving, and she brought her dress again!  She had brought it over last week but I had not gone out to the car to see it.  So it was nice to see it yesterday, and since Nancy was there, another bridesmaid, she was able to see it too!  I am really really happy with the dress and the color!!

I HAVE MY WEDDING BAND!!!

So I picked up my wedding band tonight and I am so happy! My only complaint is that I have to get my engagement ring re-sized.  I had to do that this summer, and now I will have to do it next fall.  The reason being that the engagement ring sits on top of the wedding band making the bands uneven.  It makes sense, just a pain in the butt!  I will have to be without my engagement ring for 2-3 weeks while it is getting re-sized and I won't be able to wear it until the day I get married.

I am in love!

Wedding Band is Done!!

So I got a call from the jeweler today and my wedding band is done!  I am so excited to pick it up.  I am hoping to swing by and get it during my break tomorrow, as I want it before the holiday.

My engagement ring is my maternal great-grandmother's from 1910-1914.  My mother gave it to me for my 25th birthday.  I then gave it to Steve and told him that whenever he was ready to propose I wanted him to give me this ring.  To know that this was worn by a happily married woman and has been saved in our family and passed on to me is incredibly special.  This is a ring that I will give to my eldest child when they get engaged.  It is awesome to know that I can continue to pass this down to my children.

So my wedding band is custom made.  It is a double band; one that goes in the front and back of my engagement ring and is connected on the bottom.  The bands will be in yellow gold and there will be tiny diamonds surrounding my diamond that will be set in white gold; just like my engagement ring.  I had an eternity band from my other maternal great-grandmother.  I had some diamonds removed from that band and put into my wedding band.

So when I get married my something old, something new, and something borrowed will be in my engagement ring and wedding band!  My engagement ring is 1/4 original (the diamond and a bit of the band) and 3/4 new (had to have it replaced when it was sized due to the frailty of the original band).  Now my Maid of Honor, Diana, is in charge of getting me something blue, and my mom has a silver sixpence, from the same great-grandmother the engagement ring belonged to, for my shoe.

Flower Girl Gift

So, Luna's gift came in yesterday.  It is absolutely precious.  I am so excited about it.  Steve even liked it!  I know if he likes it, it must be good!

Things are all coming together.  We only have the transportation left to book and then all of the big things are done.  We will only have the details left to tweek.  I sent a check to the ceremony musicians more than two weeks ago and they have not cashed it.  Not sure what happened.  Hopefully they got it and decided that I paid too much and they won't accept it!  Wishful thinking, eh?  Music Martha's Vineyard is who we are trying to book for the wedding ceremony musicians.  Mike Tinus is a good friend of my uncle's; he told uncle Mark he would cut us a good deal.  That is why I am thinking that they won't accept my check.  Who knows?!

Bridesmaid Dresses

So one of my bridesmaids, Sheila, went and picked up her dress today.  She said she loves it (and her mom loves it too!).  I am so excited that it came out well.  I cannot wait to see it in person.  I will have to ask her to bring it over next week so I can look at it.  While she was picking up her dress she saw the junior bridesmaid dresses and said that they are really cute too.  I am really happy to hear this. 

I had originally picked out completely different dresses for my bridesmaids but when they tried them on I hated them.  I did not like the fit, the fabric, or the way it looked with my dress.  We ended up agreeing on a different dress.  So I know what it is like to see something online and fall in love only to see it in person and swear that they are not the same. 

So it is good to know that the junior bridesmaid dresses look good in person as well as on the computer. Happy day!
