    Confession:

    1. I have to agree that some of the older regs morphed into being  mean.  I was around before most of them got here (with a different screen name).  And saw them go from fair to mean.  They weren't mean to me, but I was still shocked at some of the things that I read.

    2.  I stand by that looking at wedding stuff doesn't make you BSC.  I will say that it is a waste of time.

    3.  I was offended when I read GPB's statement.  I think that making blanket statements like, I judge under 1 carat is silly.

    4.  I can't stand when people talk about the ring being a reflection of being able to afford a wedding.  Considering this is a recession, FI and I are doing pretty well for an under one carat couple.  In less than a year, we have been able to save about $14,000 towards the wedding.  Not to mention that we pay all of our bills on time and have no debt other than some student loans.  We also have extra money in savings not earmarked for the wedding.  So, blanket statements about rings and what they mean annoy me.  I've known people with way more money than me who wear only a plain gold band or rings that are smaller than mine.  Not everyone is obsessed with diamonds.  Get with it people.

    I said, <em><strong>I</strong></em> would be upset if my ring was under a carat. I didn't say that everyone's ring should be over a carat. It's really not about the ring - I get that. It's just a personal thing. Wasn't this supposed to be a "judge-free zone" of confessions?

    Here's a big confession. 

    I HATE the "typical" bride who becomes engaged after 2.5 years of dating,gets her dress at David's Bridal, has a bachlorette party covered in male parts, then gets married on a random Saturday and fly off to Sandals for their honeymoon.  UGH.   I LOATHE those brides, I see them every freaking day and I hate them.  It's not a jealousy thing, just a "how can you be such a sheep" thing.  OHH and I also can't stand the stupid Bride and Groom T-Shirts they wear to the airport, NO it does not get you an upgrade, NO I don't know nor care that you are on your honeymoon and NO your Bridezilla attitude gets you no where with me.  I was a ticket agent and gate agent before I was an FA....I have seen and heard it all y'all....7 years in this industry and I am surprised I still have a soul. 

    I have only been on the board for a short time but I like y'all so far.  I am used to drama and it does not effect me anymore.  Nothing you say will break my heart. 

    Smile

    OK my one BSC thing....We know where we want to get married and have our reception as well as who we want to cater...only because we LOVE LOVE LOVE the food.  That's it though...no money has passed hands, no plans drawn up...just ideas tossed between us and our families. 

    Thank's y'all...I feel MUCH better.

    Nothing makes me roll my eyes/want to hurl more than hearing women talk about anything wedding related (their ring/their dress/their theme or decor) as unique.  I don't care how personalized it is, chances are it's not unique.  It's practically impossible. And who cares?  Why does it matter if your ring or dress looks like anyone else's? (These questions and comments are not directed to any one in particular.)

    I think it's silly when brides say that want a dress that people will remember. I can't comprehend that desire at all. Why does it matter if your dress is "unforgettable"? What will happen if people can't describe your dress a year from now?

    I feel some people use their wedding to live out their "I'm a reality-star" fantasy.

    GPB, have you tried on a 1 carat ring?  When I was looking at rings online, I thought 1 carat looked the best in all the settings and it's the size I was stuck on looking at, but when I actually put one on my finger, it looked ridiculous on me.  Way too big for my hands and way too tall of a setting since II don't ever wear rings.

    Obviously not saying there is anything wrong at all with wanting one, just saying you really should try it on to see if you like it.  I ended up choosing a .5 carat and think it's just the right size for me.

    All the rings I've tried on were in the 1-1.5 carat range, and I thought they looked perfect - not too big, not too small. I have smallish hands, but long(er) fingers, and the smaller stones appeared to be very tiny.

    Jemmini, what's your finger size?  That makes a big difference.  I have short, stocky fingers, and anything smaller than about 1.5 carats just made them look stockier.

    It depends on the cut of the stone, too, though.  Like, a 2 carat round looks a good deal bigger than a 2 carat cushion, etc.

    Traditional and unique are not opposites.  You can but untraditional but you're still probably not going to be unique.

    You're right- no two couples are a like. And that's just about as unique as you're going to get.

    I just think "unique" is so over-used and more often than not it's used incorrectly.

    There's a pretty big difference between being unique "just to be unique" and being unique as a side effect of doing what reflects you.  I can see that I mis-worded my post when I said that my main criteria is to be unique.  Yes, I want my wedding to be unique, but only because I'm not a traditional person, and a traditional wedding would basically be a lie.  I want my wedding to reflect BF and me.  There will be parts that are traditional, too.

    That's true.  I guess, technically, every wedding is "unique" since there are no two exactly alike.

    I guess "personalized" would be a better word.

    FWIW, I wear a ring size 7.  I have sort of chubby fingers.  I don't think my 1ct looks huge at all.

    No worries, I didn't take it personally.  Your post just made me realize that I needed to clarify what I meant.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Flameful Confessions : Jemmini, what's your finger size?  That makes a big difference.  I have short, stocky fingers, and anything smaller than about 1.5 carats just made them look stockier. It depends on the cut of the stone, too, though.  Like, a 2 carat round looks a good deal bigger than a 2 carat cushion, etc.

    My ring is a 5.5.  I also think a lot of why I thought a 1 carat looked too big is that I literally never wear rings, so I think going from nothing to a 1 carat was too big of a leap.  I really liked the size of the .75 carat stone, but the setting was so much higher than the .5 carat.   If they could've done the .75 stone in the .5 setting, it would've been perfect, but they said that it needs more 'support' or something for the next stone size.   Oh well, I love my .5 carat ring because it fits "me".

    Yes, personalized is a much better description, IMO.

    I just don't get it though.  I think that NOT going to Sandals for your honeymoon because all of the sheep do it is just as stupid as going to Sandals because it's a common HM thing to do.

    I'm a big fan of doing whatever you want regardless of whether it's cool/trendy/traditional or not.  I really dislike when people like a band/TV show/fashion trend only until it becomes super popular.  God forbid you're just like everyone else.  It's so annoying when people feel the need to point out how ahead of the trend they were.
