Original post by Donna&Joe708

What do you have left to? I started off so good and now I feel like I'm falling behind. I still need:

-Favors
-Gifts for the Bridal Party
-Programs
-Menus
-My shoes, bra, etc.
-Calligraphy for the invitations

TIA!

I didn't get it from the man who made my engagement ring since it was so costly and we are paying for our own wedding. I had it made by another jeweler and its just not right- it doesn't match and it is really just cheap looking. You get what you pay for!

But my FH knows how upset I am so he said to go back to his guy and he will pay for half of my 'mistake'.

Very expensive lesson learned
