Author Trialbyfire Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 You're like "Ooh, look at my shiney ring" and he's all "oh man, I hope she doesn't run screaming!" You would never have known how nervous he was by his face and rest of his body language. I didn't notice his hands until I saw the pic on my computer. I think it was the dessert that sold it for TBF? The ring in the avvie looks good. Hey, they were complimentary desserts from the restaurant. It takes more than 10,000 calories (one of the C's), to sell it to me. Thanks.

sb129 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Tomcat, you lost me at "Quote:" I have no idea why you feel the need to bring up my past, its totally irrelevant to this thread I simply used it as an example. Admittedly, the example wasn't brilliant, but not sure where this onslaught and personal attack is justified. Who cares what people think of my story? You clearly have had a good old read of it, thats great for you, if not a little bit creepy. If you read it properly that it, you missed some key points, but hey, whatever! I don't care what you or anyone thinks about my PAST, as the most important thing is I have learned from it and moved on. If people think its great or not, then thats up to them. I think what people (apart from you) DO think is great is the potential for people to move on, learn from their mistakes, and find happiness again. TBF, SG, Touche and I all fall into that category. Which is probably why you call us a clique. Don't insult other posters by calling them my "minions"- I have no control over what they post. They simply call it as they see it, and perhaps you would have similar support if you didn't isolate yourself and insult everyone left right and centre. Link to post Share on other sites
sb129 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 None of your business. How's that for an answer? :lmao: I KNOW what I have to be thankful and happy for and that is PLENTY for me I have nothing to prove to anyone because I am proud and comfortable in who I am. My life is mine and for the people I love, not some freak show spectacle to please the masses. :laugh::laugh: That's I guess where we are VERY different. Your posts and personal attacks would suggest otherwise, but I do hope you find happiness one day TC, then perhaps you wouldn't feel the need to judge everyone else that is happy so harshly.

Star Gazer Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 None of your business. How's that for an answer? :lmao: So in other words, nothing. Gotcha. My life is mine and for the people I love, not some freak show spectacle to please the masses. :laugh::laugh: In case you haven't noticed, this is a RELATIONSHIP forum, where people come to discuss - get this! - their relationships! There's nothing "freak show" about sharing exciting news... whether it's a new job, an engagement, a pregnancy, or anything else that's exciting and wonderful. I bet if you did have anything wonderful going on in your life, you'd be sharing it too! Link to post Share on other sites

Author Trialbyfire Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 TBF, atleast you have over a year or so to get the perfect wedding dress.. I'm having it made by the same place that made my first one. This one won't be white though, since it's my second wedding. Maybe we should just elope, then have a big bash with no gifts when we get back, just casual clothing and jeans, at a nice venue with good wine, friends and family. Link to post Share on other sites

NO thanks, I'll stand on my own thank you very much! i don't need that kind of "support" Perhaps those that were "tearing each other's eye balls out" can see that something like this, what should be a very happy time for anyone, is worth getting over oneself and congratulating TBF as is the correct and adult thing to do. This was meant to be about her being engaged, right? I seem to have lost track... Link to post Share on other sites
whichwayisup Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 That's one thing I don't get, there are some who get married for a second or third time and still want the big wedding AND the gifts. This is personal actually, but a family friend of mine has been married 3 times. ALL three times she's registered and had quite large weddings. The amount of $$ I've spent on her is crazy..I know money shouldn't be an issue when giving, but by the third marriage it's like WTF! GO Elope already and have a party later. TBF, do what you feel comfy with. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Trialbyfire Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Not white? So you mean ivory or something, not white-white?Yes, something bone, ivory or cream. It will depend on the style. If the dress ends up being something formal for the big do, I might even add some insert colour panels, almost Elizabethan...maybe. Don't know what we're going to do yet. We have to talk about it in the next few months, since it's impossible to get venues around here without at minimum, a year. I would do this if I ever had to do it again. Although guests DO love a good wedding and an excuse to get dressed up too!That's just it. If we do the big wedding, it will be for friends and family. Link to post Share on other sites

He's got a fully furnished house and I have a condo full of stuff AND a substantial storage unit full of more...stuff. We don't NEED more stuff! Link to post Share on other sites
Storyrider Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I would do this if I ever had to do it again. Although guests DO love a good wedding and an excuse to get dressed up too! It is true the big wedding is often for the guests, (and the mother of bride!). I can see both arguments (for big versus small). I can honestly say I would not have the big wedding if I had it to do over, but it is easy to say that when you've already had it. Link to post Share on other sites

This is true Story. And as for the third time, well! I think by the time you get to wedding number 3, doing the big wedding thing is a little OTT. Look at Ivana Trump- her most recent wedding was SO over the top, and you can't help but thing WTF when its her 5th or 6th? Perhaps those that were "tearing each other's eye balls out" can see that something like this, what should be a very happy time for anyone, is worth getting over oneself and congratulating TBF as is the correct and adult thing to do.
