Oh Miss Snail.. I love your ring! It’s gorgeous! Looks like we got engaged around the same time :-). Congrats again. I read that you clean your ring frequently. How do you clean it? I’m trying to find the best way to clean my ring without having to go to the jeweler all the time.

Miss Snail, you’re going through the initial stages of wedding madness. It happens to everyone. The minute you get engaged all the craziness comes out of the woodwork. The first month I was engaged I lost 5 lbs because of all the stress.

The minute you learn how to navigate around all the family/guest list/budget obstacles, the process becomes really fun. Trust me, it gets better! Soon you’ll be telling us all how you put your wedding together in 2 months and only spent $100!

miss j~

i don’t want to jinx your year. it’s when you are ready. if my parents weren’t pushing for a 2006 wedding (they been wanting to get me hitched since i was 18) 2007 fall would’ve been my choice regardless the bad buzz. and ring cleaning.. i use hot water with a drop of dishwashing soap. put it in a metal teabag thingy and dip. i read it in some household book i bought at b &n. it says to add drops of ammonia too.. but i’m afraid too. i think i’m going to get a ultrasonic machine thingamajiggy at brookstone.

Miss Snail…my family said the same thing to me that your mom said to you. My fiance had proposed to me in May of 2005 but our “official” engagement ceremony was not til the fall of that year. At the time of the engagement, we were informed that we can only get married in ‘06 or ‘08; otherwise, our marriage would be doomed (bad luck, blaaah) if we marry in an odd-number year (specifically, 2007). We’re not getting married til ‘08 but it has nothing to do with their superstitions. But even then, they’re arguing that our engagement shouldn’t be that long either as it’s not a good thing. *roll eyes* Lol

i dont know about the supersition with the years. but with what tabitha is saying. like for us, we aren’t allowed to be engage for more then a year or it is considered bad luck.

In regards to ring cleaning… (sorry i know we’re off topic from the original post here), my fiance just talked to someone at the Michael B jewelry line and he said if you have small diamonds covering/on your band, you don’t want to use an ultrasonic cleaner because the ultrasound can vibrate those small diamonds loose. Just wanted to share….
