Probably...I'm assuming you're on a budget, but have you tried a more specialized place like Marks & Morgans or the such? Right out of the case, they only take, at most, a week to get sized and ready for you to wear! Contact me if you'd like more info. (no I don't work at a retailer, my fiance and I just went through the wedding band hurrah) Hope I helped! Congrats!

Oh my gosh!  How beautiful IS THAT going to be :-D!!\nThe leaves will just be changing....BREATHTAKING!\nIdeas?  Hu, well, if you haven't picked our colors yet I would go with brown and yellows or reds and oranges to of-course accent the changing seasons.\nInstead of flower pedals, the flower girl could sprinkle dried fallen oak leaves down the "isle".\nBeautiful white chairs on eather side of the isle with lots of white tuddle ( that see thew stuff)with the wedding colors accented with bows.\nI see the bridesmaids in a strapless gowns with shawls to keep out the cold.  I am going back to the yellows, oranges, golds, reds and browns.  How would black tuxes, black shirts w/ gold ties be...ooh!  and then have your hubby-to-be have a white shirt.\nor a theme of "cow-boy" could be cute, then you can do the hay-bales for seats and keep with the red and gold them.  Have a pig roast and the dance in the barn.  YEEEHAAA!

Depends on what you want really!\nI am planning mine at the moment, so we can learn together! I am having it at a register office. I had to call to book an appointment with the superintendant registrar. They asked me when I wanted to get married and booked it over the phone! Next week we have to take our passports and proof of address to the register office to prove we haven't been married before.\nWe are having the reception at a local pub owned by a friend, and the flowers I am doing. I am buying silk flowers I can keep forever. My friends are making food so we can have a big huge buffet!\nGood luck with your wedding, get in touch with your wedding date if you need any more help!!

Conventional wisdom used to say 2 months salary... sometime in the past couple of years its changed to 3.  In reality, the best answer is no more than you can comfortably afford.  Remember that once you get married your debt becomes her debt as well-- and you've got a wedding on the horizon to pay for.  So don't finance a huge rock that's going to take you years to pay off.  When you go ring shopping, make cut, color and clarity a priority over size.  $3,000 should buy you a decent 3/4 carat ring (depending on metal).

My fiance and I have been toghether for 6 years.  We know we are going to be together, and I would probably end up losing the ring somewhere anyway..  SERIOUSLY.  If he HAD to get me something, I would prefer he spend the money on something we can have or do together, or put the money he would have spent on the ring into savings.  Because no one should ever get married until they can support each other.  That is what being married is all about.  I don't know why all these KIDS are getting married, but they are living with their parents, or having to call home for money, or having kids...it makes no sense.  My sister got married 2 years ago, had a big wedding, and now she is divorced.  We have been toghether for 6 years, and we are still together.  We just finished college two years ago, and will not be married until we are in a financially stable position to be married.

When my gf of just one year had her birthday, I went to ebay and bought a jewel from cambodia.   I got a blue zircon, (she likes blue zircon, and trust me, if you pay attention, the gf will drop the hints.....)\n\nShe took that blue Z and bought a ring and setting for it, (cause she knows gemology), and I have to say,  she did a really good job of making a ring out of it.\n\nSo, look for something unusual, something she likes, and something she can add her own style to.\n\nAND GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!!  (cause,dude???  that's not an easy thing to do!!!)\n\nsincerely:\ntom

Thats a good ?, I would probrably wait to see the summer fashions that come out in the spring of that year before I do any planning on the styles, as far as locations, invitations and caterers I would go ahead and get that out of the way, but make sure that every thing you pay for in advance is refundable due to the distance of time, anything can happen from now till then, keep all reciepts. good luck

If he shows up at the alter. J/K.\nPurchasing the ring, putting it on your finger and telling you he wants you to be his wife are very sure signs that he is ready.  But if you are questioning things, then maybe now isn't the right time. You should have a talk with him to straighten the whole thing out, because total strangers can not help you with one of the most important decisions of your life. Best of luck.\nK.

You're going to be wearing this ring for a long, long time, hopefully for the rest of your life, so for heaven's sake, get what you like! A good bet is to think about the jewelry you wear now, the stuff you find yourself grabbing again and again because you prefer it and it flatters you (watch, earrings, necklaces, etc.) If it's mostly yellow gold, then that's probably what you should choose in a wedding ring.\n\nAnd, no, there's no reason in the world that your two rings need to match. You are two different people, with two different styles, which is a great thing, and should be celebrated. (by the way, my fiancee chose an antique styled yellow gold band, and I chose a more modern styled white gold one. we have the same psalm inscribed in our rings, which unites our two very different styled rings.)\n\nGood luck, and congrats!

Well I think any date you pick is going to be crowded you have plenty of time to plan if you start now so it shouldn't be a problem. I tried very hard to work around people/dates when I got married, You know birthdays anniversary's other weddings funerals etc... I found it is almost impossible especially if you have a big wedding in a good weather season. I would say try not to worry about it but do get started if you want the best!

Hi!  Congrats on your engagement - I just got married in October.  The cost of invitations is unbelievable, isn't it??  What I did instead of going to a printer was create them myself.  Any good craft store (Michaels's, AC Moore) has pre-made wedding inviations kits that you print on the computer.  Everything is encluded (inviation, response card, and corresponding envelopes). Mine looked professional and for 225 guests I spent about $100 total. The directions are easy to follow and they turn out great.  Just a thought!  Good luck!!!!

You can if you want to.  A lot of brides do.  I'm getting married in a few weeks and we decided not to exchange gifts just because we don't have the extra money, plus we decided to buy a dog after the wedding.

Who knows?  Maybe you guys really aren't ready to get engaged.  There's alot of pressure on couples when they get engaged.  People EXPECT that you're getting married pretty soon and they want to know a date and they want to know what you're planning for the wedding.  It sounds like your man shouldn't have promised something that he wasn't sure about.  It's unfair to say that "by this date we will get engaged" because things happen.  It doesn't necessarily mean that he doesn't want to get engaged, it just means what he said, you guys aren't ready.  Maybe there's financial reasons behind that.  But a really good solution to this problem (because I know you are disappointed) is if your boyfriend still wants to get engaged and married in the future....he should buy you a promise ring.  My boyfriend and I have been together for four years and we're not ready to get engaged or married yet either.  But a promise ring lets you and your friends and family know that you guys are planning to get married one day, just not right now.  I wear my promise ring on my left ring finger like an engagement ring and I'm very happy with it.  I think you would be too.  Sit tight dear, you'll get married one day.

My daughter has been waiting for them too, and we don't think they have been on yet.  Can't imagine what the hold up is, unless there is some sort of discrepancy.?
