[QUOTE]Lol yes I am so excited! My name is Amelia and my fiance is David. We live in Milwaukee and we got engaged in a really nice restaurant on the water. He got me two rings! He's so amazing and I am such a lucky girl. <strong>My wedding will be next september and I have asked three of my friends to be my bridesmaids. </strong> His sister wants to be in it, but I don't need that drama, you know what I mean? He has a ton of friends so he is trying to pick three of his best friends to stand up so we don't know that part yet. But it will be amazing!

<div>Heading off disaster wicked early here... In 6 months when one of your friends does something you don't like... it is not OK to kick them off the wedding party. You're new, but trust me, this comes up all the friggin time. It's totally ok for your FI to wait to ask him groomsmen until next year.</div><div>
</div><div>Also, IMO you don't have to be accepted in order to be a regular. But, regulars tend to be accepted because they give good advice. Usually damn good advice. </div>

Oh dear, the proposal story. Perhaps I should sit this one out.

Maratea, that's almost right but not exactly. He proposed at the nice restaurant after we had some really awesome champagne and I said yes and we had a great night, but when I put it on my finger it just didn't seem like an e-ring, it was more of an everyday ring, so I switched it over to my other hand (don't get me wrong, I love the ring so much, but it's just not quite right for my e-ring) and told him we should go together to pick out the perfect ring for my left hand. And because he's amazing he said yes AND said I could even keep the first one. So I call that my proposal ring and the other one my engagement ring Don't hate!

As soon as I saw the subject of the thread I thought:

The answer to "Who is a megabitch?" would be Cew.

What was wrong with the first ring that made it more of an "every day ring" and not an "engagement ring?"

Just trying to decipher the difference.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Because the original ring he got for you "wasn't exactly what you were expecting" you TOLD him that it needed to be changed?

Yes, every day rings are the only ones that should be worn daily, engagement rings are only for formal settings, unless you have a replica in which case you can wear that instead.

As part of your initiation, you must disrobe so that we can circle your fat with a sharpie.  Then you must drink jungle juice and ask for condoms at the Pi Kapp house.

Honestly this is pretty awesome. Even if you are a troll it still tickles me because I know there are people out there that do things like have 2 engagement rings and are proposed to twice.

Naturally.  I have about seven everyday diamond, semi-e-rings that I wear on a rotating schedule.  I have a calendar and everything.  Maybe you should do the same, Amelia.  You can put it in your bio.

Lol I love you guys. You're hilarious.

Cew might be a megabitch but she is a funny megabitch!!

Hell I'll drink that kool-aid, point me in the right direction

I don't remember who asked about what was wrong with the first ring, but here's my answer: it is like 5 small stones, all the same size, and they alternate sapphire/diamond. It's pretty but not my taste of e-ring.
