Re: How much did your wedding cost?

A big cost saver for us was having a Sunday brunch instead of a Saturday night wedding. In retrospect, I regret feeling obligated to have a big wedding (120+) people for 20k in the Midwest. I planned the wedding in 4 months, it would have cost about 4-5k less if we didn't have to have wedding planne...

Re:

Icekid you just brought a smile to my day! I have a new prescription for phenergan. My OB seems to think it'll help me more because I also have terrible motion sickness.

Re: Paraiba Eternity

Rosenbloom, that's a great idea. Some of his rings are TDF. Minous, I've never seen this band in person. It's why I'm hesitant about whether it would even match what I have. If you look on their site, all their colored stones look awful IMO. Their diamond pictures are pretty terrible too. I'm smitte...

Yes I'm looking for the real deal paraibas. The paraiba stones in my e-ring all came individually certified as Brazilian origin (have forgotten the lab name) and were also appraised by Martin Fuller.

Re: What is the rudest customer encounter, any examples?

Two incidents: I waited tables when I was 16-21. 1) A large group of ladies came in (16+) and called me an as*h*le to my face in front of my manager as they were forced to pay the mandatory 15% gratuity. My manager did nothing and I was mortified. 2) A disgusting perverted middle aged guy loved to c...

Re: Copying, and ... copying

Agree with so many of the sentiments posted earlier. I really wanted a very unique e-ring and it took me 6 months to find it. I really feel like it would have taken longer if I researched a custom route. I think I would be a little miffed if I did find a poor execution of my ring as well. I will say...

Re: i know there are a lot of pet owners on PS..

forget the kids and the pets. My husband is more expensive than all of them. I think I'll start starving him. Purely for my own enjoyment. Only rich people should have kids. Or pets. Or husbands. And fancy schmancy funerals that could feed starving kids in Africa for 17 years but whatever. Screw po...

Tammy, actually I had a midwife before so I was seen by someone before the 12 week mark.
