I bought FI's ring today! Woo hoo!! I like how it turned out....now I just have to decide if I'm going to get it engraved or not.I'm also trying to think about what to get him as a wedding gift. I was sort of thinking of a nice pair of cuff links (since he actually does wear them every week or so) and get them engraved or something. But not sure.....any ideas anyone?I'm also feeling a little down/frustrated with one of my bridesmaids. She was actually a good friend of FI's from his undergraduate when he was living in Milwaukee. When my FI and I got engaged in 4/08, she and i were talking fairly often and getting to know each other better. I really should have waited, but I asked her along with my other good friends to be a BM. However, around that same time she met a guy, got engaged 9/08, married 4/09 and now is expecting. Through all of this I've been trying to build a relationship.....but it is always me reaching out and not her. I'm the one who calls, sends birthday cards, and this last week I sent her a package with ginger cookies and candy since she's been suffering from morning sickness. I know the package was delivered 2 days ago----and not a peep from her! Not even a short little "thank you" via e-mail, text anything. SO annoying. I don't do things to get things back etc, but it would be NICE to have some acknowledgement!Just frustrating since I feel like BM's should be close friends....and right now I'm feeling very un-close to her. On top of this, she has not mentioned if she is coming to my shower or not and it is over labor day weekend. I am not pushing on it, since I know it is expensive to travel and she is expecting......but it would be nice to have some communication from her! UGH!Sorry just had to vent :-P Just frustrating when you are the only one putting in the effort into a friendship.
