It is just a regular wedding band with no stones. The inside is stamped / hallmarked 10K F with a triangular looking or sideways looking A (its not an A but it looks like it) right next to the F. There is a small space in between the 10K and the FÆ (thats what the symbol looks like minus the lines coming off of it on the right). It looks like real gold but Im not sure. Any help would be great. Thanks so much.

My Wedding Budget // Solid?

 

The prices I have listed are the ones I’ve been quoted for from the places I’ve picked out, so these aren’t guesses. Feel free to comment on any of the areas and let me know if I’m paying way too much (or if I’m getting a great deal). I’m just trying to make sure I have all bases covered.

Venue: ,250
(This is the total for the fully decorated ceremony and reception. Includes officiant, full buffet-style meal, cake, music, bartender (not alcohol), wedding planning sessions, no rentals necessary. Includes 0 rehearsal fee.)

Bride and Groom Attire: 00
(My dress is around 0, so I rounded up to 0 for alterations along with 0 for veil and jewelry. Tux rental budgeted to 0 including shoes.)

Flowers and Decor: 00
(This is what I was quoted for minimal additional decor for the ceremony and reception, bouquets, and additional flower arrangements.)

Invitations: 0
(Includes invitations with envelopes, reply cards with envelopes, and thank you cards with envelopes. This also includes postage.)

Jewelry: 50
(Included 00 for my ring and 0 for his, according to prices we saw online. 00 of mine will come from trading in my engagement ring — our decision.)

Liquor: 0
(Beer and wine for 75 guests, only 45 of which are legal drinking age and will be drinking.)

Photography: 00
(Includes the photographer, some prints, and three CDs with pictures for us to print. Four-hour wedding day coverage.)

Beauty and Pampering: 0
(I’m getting my hair done for , estimated spray tan at 0, for make-up, and for nails and toenails.)

These are my big money or major items. I know I will be spending money here and there on things, can anyone see anything I may have missed? This also doesn’t include the honeymoon, obviously.
I’m feeding 75 with the 50. I was so lucky to find this venue! It’s beautiful and includes like 90% of everything we need for the wedding day. Thanks for mentioning the marriage license! I never even thought of that. No clue how much that will be!

Is it tacky to ask people to RSVP for our wedding online?

 

We could save money on postage, envelopes, and RSVP cards by just having people RSVP online. The older, less computer literate family members would have to call, but there’s only a few that would need to. We just don’t want to come across as cheap or tacky. Thoughts?

Am I overreacting? Or misinterpreting this person? Or neither?

 

She bites my ring as soon as she sees it, thinking she’s being funny by "testing" that it’s real gold, which is an insult in itself. This is a 00 ring at retail price, and should NOT be BITTEN. If she has any qualms about the quality of my ring, then she should have kept it to herself instead of possibly damaging it. She’s 26 years old, supposedly an adult. Maybe she didn’t mean anything by it, but like usual it hurt my feelings. I realize her mother is a jeweler and has thousands of dollars worth of jewelry just lying around the house, so maybe she’s a snob, but I don’t see why she would want to do such a thing.

When she finds out the center stone is a sapphire and not a DIAMOND, she gives me this "your ring sucks" look. I tell her the ring is expensive (and to me it is) and she doesn’t even respond. Sometimes I really think I hate this person. How could a "friend" be like that? I really don’t think a good friend could be so insensitive and superficial. I just wanted her to be happy for me. Isn’t that every girl’s wish? That her friends just enjoy what’s happening?

It’s hurtful as hell. I’m just waiting for her to insult the dress I’ve already picked out (or give me a "look" because SHE doesn’t like it), our wedding ceremony (even though it’s not even her wedding), the reception (because we need to care about how much fun SHE’s having), the food (which she always does) and our honeymoon choice (considering she loves to gloat about taking extravagant trips and buying expensive things with her boyfriend, even though HE has roommates sharing the rent and SHE lives at home with her parents). All of these things have happened before in different forms, considering this is my first- and planning it to be only- marriage.

My fiance has a mortgage and I have bills to pay at my apartment. I don’t see any reason why she needs to compare her lifestyle and purchases to mine. I love that ring. I picked it out myself, because he wanted me to have something I loved.

She doesn’t have any bills, drives a free car her dad gave her AND gets EBT/food stamps from the state (and she doesn’t have children and she’s not disabled)… so she can drop bucks on things left and right at her own will. Lucky her.

My ring is insanely beautiful at 18kt white gold with a yellow sapphire center stone, with diamonds all around anyway. I asked for a sapphire because September was the month he first proposed, it’s the second hardest stone, and I wanted something different and special. It shines like the sun. The yellow is a symbol of hope for our marriage, and the friendship we have. It’s very sentimental to me. I just can’t understand why someone who calls me one of her "best friends" would make me feel so bad about something so special. I only ever expect to receive one engagement ring in my lifetime.

I was just hoping she could just be happy for me.

Harry Potter Wedding Ideas?

 

My future Hubby and I are BIG Harry Potter fanatics. Serious die hard fans. No surprise when we both we would have an all out Harry Potter theme wedding. I know it may sound lame, but we LOVE the idea, and it’s our day right? Why the heck not? Anyway, I’m having a bit of a mental block as to what to do for well . . . EVERYTHING!!! I had a few ideas, not sure if they’re lame or not but, here they are. My hubby thought that the song that the bride walks down the aisle is overdone, so his suggestion was to have the harry potter theme song be played while I walk down the aisle. And although this next part is a fantasy and would NEVER happen unless i won the lottery or married a member of the royal family, a girl can dream can’t she? The reception or the actual ceremony would be held at the castle the Harry Potter movies were actually filmed at. Wouldn’t that be so cool??? I thought so anyway. Now, back to reality. The wedding is being held in England, most likely london. Were not sure yet. All of the guests on the guest list are flying in to come attend the wedding. So we’ll have them come to a fitting to get measurements for their proper wedding attire, wizard robes of course! We would have an official sorting hat to sort them into houses to know which robes they would wear and which table they would sit at. We would have the four house tables, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. And the table that the staff would sit at, would be the bride and groom table. I am seeing about finding the Alexander McQueen fall 2008 peacock wedding dress that is the almost exact dress that Fleur wore at her wedding, but have it altered to be longer like the dress in the movie. t’s a winter wedding, and were hoping it will snow so it will be more romantic. We would be having similar foods to those of the welcoming feast. Butterbeer, Pumpkin juice, and Bertie Bott’s every flavor beans are a must at a Harry Potter wedding. At the actual ceremony, the priest dude has agreed to dress like Albus Dumbeldore when he marries us. We’ll be sending invitations very much alike to the Hogwarts acceptance letters with the official stamp mark and emerald green ink. At the reception, were going to contact the members of some of my favorite wizard rock bands to see if they come and play at the reception. The top so far are Oliver Boyd and the Remeberalls, the moaning myrtles, the remus lupins etc. We want it to be sort of a Yule Ball wedding. We’re having a LARGE special cake made of Hogwarts castle, with us under the Whomping Willow. So its a large cake of the whole grounds, the black lake with a mermaid head out of the water and she’ll be singing the song heard in the golden egg retrieved in the first task of the Goblet of Fire Tournament. The quidditch field, Hogsmeade, Hagrid’s Hut, the Forbidden Forest complete with the flying car from the second movie. It will be snowy too. Water Goblets, gold plates, food rising out of the tables, it’s going to be AMAZING!!! I know it totally sounds lame but, it’s what we love. He actually proposed to me with a sterling silver Horcrux ring, in the cold wintry weather in a white horse drawn carriage. It was snowing and SOOOOO romantic. He did give me a real ring. The most gorgeous ring i’ve ever seen. It was the Tiffany Novo ring, it’s SOOOOOOO beautiful. The first part of our honeymoon will be in Florida where we will spend two weeks checking out the new Harry Potter theme park, Universal, and Disney theme parks. Then we’re spending three weeks renting a beach house in the Outerbanks. You only have one wedding. Why not go all out? Well that’s my story. If you have any suggestions of anything i could do to make my day more magical it would be most appreciated.

What happens the first week of stamp increases? Will my envelope be returned for insufficient stamps?

 

I bought my stamps for my wedding invitations two weeks ago after having the post office weigh them. Yesterday when I actually went to mail them the price had increased by 3 cents per ounce so I was short 3 cents on each one. The postal worker convinced me that it would be ok because they are lenient the first week after the change. I was up all night worrying about this. I should have just put the ugly 3 cent stamps on them. Does anyone know if this so called grace period is real?
