OMG Kerri!!!! Is she wearing it? No, YOU are and it is amazing and your wedding is going to be soooo cool, even if you were wearing a strand of barbed wire around your neck. You are such an amazing person and have been so excited about this necklace, PLEASE don't let anyone dash that for you: especially someone who hasn't even seen it!

Re: Ordered my DOJ w/Pic *update*
If you ordered it from Yesstore I can assure you it's NOT crap.
I just ordered something for $5.99 and it's really nice!

Re: Ordered my DOJ w/Pic *update*
ker - who gives a crap what mom has to say about it???? i think it's stunning & so do you...do NOT let her dictate how you feel about it!!!!!!!!
we have the same type of moms - as you know... my mom doesn't want me wearing red shoes or doing my nails red - but I AM...why? BECAUSE I WANT TO!
This is your day and you do not want to look back and regret not wearing a necklace you loved...

I love it.. it's very pretty and if my gown didn't have lots of detail I'd be wearing something like that.

Re: Ordered my DOJ w/Pic *update*
thank you ladies!
you're right... she doesnt want me wearing my boots either but I am... it's MY wedding. not hers. and i paid for the jewelry not her... so there. HMPF. lol
Actually when i ordered it i said...'it might not be as great in person, we'll see what happens' so i know it might not be that great... but she totally burst my bubble when I was all excited.
Thanks for cheering me up both here and in FMs.

I've been going crazy trying to find the right kind of cameo... I feel like this will go really well with my 'theme' even though no one else will even notice that I have a theme.
I'm not sure if i like the little dangly pearl/crystal at the bottom but since I make jewelry it'll be easy enough to fix. It comes with the little pearl earings which i can also change around if I decide to...
What do you think? I know it sounds silly but I feel like it matches my invitations lol
FMIL also offered to let me borrow some of FH's grandmother's jewelry. So we're going to go through her stuff and if I like something I'll bring it and this necklace when i go for my first fitting.
---------------------- ETA: Without even seeing a picture, my mother hates it. She said 'it's going to look like crap' after I told her how much i spent on it. I can't help that I'm not into blowing money I don't have on things I don't need... As long as I like the necklace, shouldn't that be all that matters? I don't even want it anymore
how can she say it will 'look like crap' when she hasn't seen it? I like it. Very pretty. and if you got a good price, even better.

LoL That's just my mom for ya... she means well... but she speaks without thinking a lot. I'm guessing she's where I get that trait from lol. I didn't care if it looked like crap originally, b/c i figured it was worth a shot at the price i got it for, but now i'm worried that it'll look like crap and i'll have wasted my money and i'll have to hear 'I told you so' UGH.

Re: Ordered my DOJ w/Pic *update*
take it from one person whose mother shoots down everything they like too, SCREW IT. You ordered that DOJ because you loved it. Your mother isn't getting married, you are. After your wedding, tell your mom where she can shove your DOJ. I say after the wedding in case she really tries to 'shove it'
