[QUOTE]Allison, you need to slow your roll. Seriously. And I really hope you don't act like such a condensending priss at your job, because that's not good for business. I worked at an insurance company, it doesn't mean I'm somehow automatically qualified to advise you on insurance and health care issues. Just saying. OP: Try other options before collagen. If you are absolutely insistant upon doing it (which it sounds like you are, considering how you went straight to Justification Town when people nixed the idea and jumped into the smug, snotty "ZOMG you're old so you don't understaaaaand me" phase most of us grew out of in high school) don't do it right before the wedding. For all you know, you could have a bad reaction or extended puffiness and that would kill your pictures even worse than not having it done. Think two months or more before the day.

Thats odd that you work in an industry that you arent qualified to give advice about. Im a medical esthetician-how does that not qualify me to give advice for something that I went to school for? I'm sharing my knowledge about this to those that obviously know nothing about it. And I dont act like a priss to clients- they are not ignorant when we share valid information with them.

BTW- Im done having a debate about it. Theres nothing fulfilling about arguing with people that have no idea what they are talking about, and are just looking to fight. Dont expect any more replies to your unintelligent and meaningless posts.

Psst. Allison. That would have been better with snaps at the end and probably a head bob. Just sayin'.

"A wedding isn't about the photos, it's about the LIFELONG COMMITMENT. Maybe it is generational thing, I don't know. I do know that I hate the plastic trend, but maybe I am beyond my years."

Texas--I don't think this is a generational thing... I am 20 and think this is just crazy! I agree with you that if you are stressing this much about the photos and not looking at the BIG picture of what a wedding and marriage is really about then you shouldn't be getting married. I also know some older people that act like this so I'm guessing it is a personal thing rather than having to do with age...

If the husbands cannot even telll unless it is pointed out, what is the fuckingpoint?

My thoughts *exactly*, Sara!

Just remember, your fiance/husband sees you first thing in the morning, when you go to bed at night, and when you're sick as a dog. He loves you and your face - no matter.

If you want collagen injections, then get them for you. But don't get them to impress everyone at your wedding or your husband. You'll find it was wasted money.

I think some people are a little quick to judge here...... how many of you ladies are dying/highlighting/getting hair extensions for your hair before the wedding? Getting fake eyelashes? Fake nails? Tanning your skin to be unnaturally darker than it usually is? Whitening your teeth? All for a little "enhancement" right? You're not changing yourself, just "enhancing" a little bit....

I'm not saying I didn't do any of those things above...I certainly did. I'm just saying, why is having a little lip plumping (slight, of course, to enhance the lip, not to completely change it and look like a duck) any different at all? Because it lasts longer? Isn't instantly removable (neither is hair dye). Because it requires a professional? (so does professional teeth whitening). Because it's something unnatural, maybe not great for your body? (so is exposing yourself to high levels of UV light in a tanning bed). I'm pretty sure your fiance loves you for YOU, before doing any of these things as well.

So, unless you are going completely "au naturelle" for the wedding and not doing any "enhancing", lets not judge here, and lets stop being so ridiculously hypocritical. (and if you're wondering, no, I have never had my lips done before, I don't even have a "horse in this race" if you will, I just think judgemental people are super annoying, especially when their argument is ridiculous and hypocritical).
