Sorry for the negative post... *sigh*  It's just really bothering me today.  A lot.

	Security:	Public

So, we got engaged almost a year ago (June 3rd) and progress has been slowly mostly due to the fact that my FH almost immediately got sent to Madagascar with work, then got a new job based in Kenya, I eventually joined him in Zambia and then a month ago he got made redundant. So, it's been a funny old time. We did set the date though! August 16th 2014.... yey!

Anywho, in the midst of all that international madness, I found the dress!  A lot of bridal shops in the UK don't let you take pictures (the place I went actually took our phones and put them in a little basket) but I found some stock photos - TADA!

	Subject:	Under the Dress - Naughty or Nice?
	Security:	Public

Quite some time ago, I went shopping for the outfit I was going to wear for our engagement photos.

(Okay, little braggy moment...  The jeweler who made my ring asked us to take a engagement photo, so he could use us on his billboard.  How awesome is that???  It should be up early next week, so crazy excited to see it!!!)

Anyways... (sorry, lol) so my fiance decided to come along and help me choose said outfit.  Found something super cute, but while we were there, he kept eyeing this mannequin rockin' a sexy red/black bra/garter belt lace skirt.  Caught that hint, hard to miss.  :)  So I went back not too much later and picked up the combo.  Did a test in the dress, absolutely nothing shows (I was a little worried about the bodice) so I thought, wouldn't it be fun to wear it during the wedding, for him to KNOW I'm wearing it, and well, yeah.  :)  My red-accented dress has a very full skirt, with my shoes (which are fantastic red pumps, BTW) only occasionally making an appearance.   We aren't allowed to have a garter toss (for reasons I have yet to discover) so I don't see any reason to hike my dress up.

So here's my question.  Said naughty combo is meant to be worn with black thigh-highs.  While being a little naughty under the dress makes me feel deliciously wicked, I'm less certain about being naughty all the way to my toes... (shoes are close-toed, BTW)  White is absolutely out of the question (I think that would look ghastly.) So the question is a sheer black, or a sheer nude.  What do you brides think?  Be deliciously wicked all the way to my toes?  Or play it a little safe, so I don't end up the blushing bride all night?

I was talking with a friend about weddings, and he me if I thought there was a market for customized music--sort of like having a signature cocktail. I gave him my answer but I obviously can't speak for anyone else.
(  I figured why not see what WP has to say?Collapse )

Thanks so much! I'm curious to see what people have to say. I haven't heard of anyone doing this already, but I might just be out of touch.

	Subject:	Changing Engagement Ring
	Security:	Public

After a lot of small discussions along the way about how I find my engagement ring challenging, my fiance and I finally had the big discussion about just changing it. I still feel a small twinge of regret due to some emotional attachment to the ring he proposed with, but I will be keeping the stone (which is EXACTLY what I wanted), just not the band (which is NOTHING like what I wanted). We both think getting over this small regret will be easier in the long run than the regret of wearing something forever that I really don't like.

So, now that the emotional piece is settled, I'm wondering about the financial piece. He had the band custom designed for me so I'm afraid this won't be quite as simple as just resetting, but it could be that I just haven't found any good resources on the matter. Does anyone have any experience with this and could give me some advice or resources on how to approximate the cost?

	Subject:	Separate Reception
	Security:	Public

I will be getting married in late September, and I'm at a loss at how to plan our reception/celebration. (It will probably be at a small rented place or my parents house & backyard.) If anyone has any advice, I'd really appreciate it!

1. Our wedding will be in Hawaii (only my immediate family in attendance), and our reception will be in our home city (just under 50 friends and family). How do I handle the lapse of time and lack of ceremony? I want to have a table with a few of our wedding pictures for people to see. Obviously no wedding dress, but should I wear something white/frilly/formal, or unrelated? Should we still make a registry, or is that in bad taste?

2. My fiance and I are both non-dancers, so aside from music playing, there wont be any formal dancing or anything. All I can think of for the reception, is: appetizers, greeting/mingling, cocktails, dinner, toast/thanks, cake. I'm worried people will be bored.

Thanks! :)
