I can well imagine with only 6 days to go.

I don't have my suit back from the tailor. I don't have my shoes. I don't have a shirt + tie even picked out. I need a haircut. We don't have transportation to the venue yet. I don't know where I am getting ready in the morning. I need to activate a credit card (I was paying it down, not using it) to pay for stuff. Music list not finalized. Vows need to be finished, hell the ceremony does, too. ...and I haven't done my taxes. I'd be willing to entertain ceremony traditions, readings, etc. Geeky ones are good, not religious ourselves. This is one the fiancee picked: "When I say “love” the sound comes out of my mouth and it hits the other person’s ear, travels through this byzantine conduit in their brain through their memories of love or lack of love. And they register what I'm saying and they say yes they understand, but how do I know? Because words are inert. They’re just symbols. They’re dead. You know? And so much of our experience is intangible. So much of what we perceive cannot be expressed. It’s unspeakable. And yet, you know, when we communicate with one another and we feel that we have connected and we think we’re understood I think we have a feeling of almost spiritual communion. And that feeling may be transient, but I think it’s what we live for." from Waking Life[^]

Take ten minutes to make a priority list. Here's number one: Don't be too hungover. The rest is up to you. Have the best day of your life. :thumbsup:

Here's a poem for your wedding: No suit from the tailor, ...Don't have my shoes. Not even a tie, ...but I got the booze. No transport to the venue ...No active credit card to use Dang, I also need a haircut ..but I got the booze. Music list not finalized ...haven't paid my IRS dues, Vows ain't even finished ...but I got the booze. Now, if I don't drink ...that's OK, there's nothing to lose. Cuz, without a place to get ready in the morning. ...I'll Just stay in bed for that final singles-only snooze. Have an awesome wedding!

I've sung at a rare wedding or 3; wrote my own lyrics / music for the :rose:betrothed:rose: couple(s). Acoustic guitar. I'll use GarageBand's loops this evening and put it to Blues music and post it up later 2nite. :suss:

No, and it's more likely than not, that they wont. While I understand that you're probably just looking at a plain band (perhaps even one that's machine-made), the fact remains that jewellery has become increasingly treated as a commodity by the masses. Nobody realizes that somewhere in the order of 5% of the gold/silver that enters is never accounted for nor reclaimed. It's often 10years from when the carpet is laid to when it is torn up and burnt, with the ash being sent to the refiners to recover the embedded precious metal dust from filing, sawing, drilling etc. To make a 3gm piece, it's my experience that ~80% of the time you'll need to start with 5gms and will only have filings/offcuts that weigh 75% of the extra 2gms. Straight away, your 3gm ring has cost the jeweller (at least in the short-term) 3.5gms of gold/silver. To take the best analogy I can, how do you expect you'd feel if every Tom, Dick and Harry that came in to your work asked "How large will the executable be?" as a means to gauge the potential price and to compare 1 shop to another. People seem to think that the cost of the metal makes up almost the entire price of the jewellery. That's just not the case, not with jewellery, not with software, not with cars. You certainly don't expect to pay the same money for a 1000kg mercedes as you'd expect to pay for a 1000kg toyota - even though they're both still made of steel, aluminium, glass etc, etc. The point being that weight is not an especially good metric by which to compare two products/shops. I say this not in agitation, anger or condescension but as a result of having left that industry, with the phenomenon being one of the 3 greatest contributors. Working daily with cyanide, having black fingers 24 hours a day for 48 weeks of the year (from polishing), along with the fear every day that some 'es aitch eye tee' is going to stick a gun in your face to rob you of the $50,000 - $100,000 of stock sitting in the window. Elephant that - the minimum wage for a jeweller is less than the minimum wage for a hairdresser - not even close to worth it! Lastly, and by far, most importantly - :-D congratulations, hope you both have a great day that follows you with fond memories for the remainder of your lives.:rose:

I hate it when idiots talk about language like that. It's plain that they don't have a clue what they're talking about -- i.e. they use the words to set up a specific feeling in the listener's mind, which, abracadabra, completely contradicts what they're saying. Now, say "potato". You have one chance. Get it wrong, and you'll have to call the whole thing off.
