They look really nice. I love the way they've all chosen something similar, but with little variations that flatter their body types.

Left and middle have the same neckline, middle and right have the same waistline and left and right have similar backs. So they all sort of complement each other in that way.

Super productive today! I've emailed the DJ his contract now and ordered a wedding band.
I know it's a bit soon for that, but when I went on the Brilliant Earth website to see if there was a matching band of sorts out of curiosity, my engagement ring was no longer there! It must have been discontinued! But when I did go over to the wedding band part I found one that matched with it and decided I needed to order it now before they discontinued it too, and I had to go with one that doesn't match as perfectly. Better too early than too late.
Plus fiancé had received a promotion code in the mail that offered a free surprise gift with orders made before the 14th, and who am I to say no to something free?
So that's all taken care of

Beautiful dresses.
I've seen the Internet ads for Brilliant Earth. There is one ad with a gorgeous pink gold ring and matching gems 
I browsed around the web site and found a lot of really nice looking rings 
No ring in my future ever but I can dream 
Aren't the diamonds and gems from Brilliant Earth sustainably sourced or something?

You never know@LTS3, Love is a wild, unpredictable, crazy thing. Maybe in a few months or so you'll have started your own Planning My Wedding thread.

Not yet! My parents' first dance was to "Just the Way You Are" by Billy Joel, and I love that song and it could be sweet if we used it, but we haven't really sat down and discussed it yet. He might have other ideas!
In theory! There seems to be some disagreement on if they're really tracking where their stones come from as carefully as they say, though I assume they at least fit the basic definition of conflict free. But they do also make lab diamonds and use recycled metals and donate some profits, so they're at least doing some good.
I didn't really get a say! My sister had said that she'd picked out the setting and her fiancé the diamond and mine was like "That's not romantic. I'd want to do that myself", so basically my input was "I don't want yellow gold and I'd prefer a conflict free diamond." He chose everything else.
Lovely dresses!View attachment 288032
I'd call it a successful outing! No one let me pay for their dress.But they all found dresses that looked good on them, fit their style, and were confident in, and I held up a dress in the color it'll be in (officially sage from the brand was closest to our seafoam) in front of all of them to make sure none of them will look bad in it. And I think they dresses all look good together and should go with my dress what with all the ruching. I'm happy!
LOVE those dresses! They very much remind me of the dresses that can be worn multiple ways. In fact, until I saw your response to
Norachan
, I thought is was one of those!

I love the dresses.I also love the romance of having the ring especially chosen just for you and out of love. That makes it more than just a ring that you liked. A conflict free stone is wonderful.

Kudos to your fiancé!
I completely agree with his element of surprise and romance.- Thread Starter Thread Starter

It was a little worrisome he would pick out something I didn't like, and it's not what I would have picked for myself, but he explained his thought process behind it and I do love it and can't imagine having a different ring now. Plus when people compliment it I can say he picked it out and hear about what good taste he has!

Well, we got through our pre cana class today. So now we'll be able to set up a meeting with my priest so we can start getting the church part of the wedding (y'know, the actual marriage part) going. One more thing checked off the list.
Haven't checked this thread in a bit. Glad to see everything is going great!

I picked up my wedding band today! (Since we live in an apartment, it felt safer to pick it up at the Downtown showroom rather than having it delivered). It's so pretty and matches my engagement ring!
The surprise gift I got with the promo code was these recycled metal ball studs.
I don't normally wear earrings - haven't in years though my holes haven't closed up, but hey, a free gift is a free gift! I might find a chance to wear them.
I've been given free reign with invitations. Maybe giant photos of the cats saying the cats would like to invite you to their humans' wedding?
But probably not.

LOVE that ring! It is elegant, but simple. More that "just a band," but not the least gaudy. I'd wear it, and I'm notoriously picky.
And for the record, I'd probably include Hekitty on my invitation, if I ever lost my mind and married again... NOTE: That "lost my mind" only applies to ME getting married again. I heartily approve of marriage in general. Just not for me.

That ring is stunning! I too would put Felix on my invitation if I'm luck enough to get married in the next 8 - 10 years. People would understand because he's a huge part of my life.
