Its still awhile yet, but I should start looking around now. He has a ring EXACATLY like the one in the feature pic... But he likes gold with celtic designs (I hate both of those ideas.) My ring is white gold and id like them to match... I dont think he wants diamonds. Id love to see him with one. OH! And it HAS to be tungsten carbide because he is BRUTAL on rings. He is a very big/broad man (6'6" 310lbs) so his fingers are big (I think like size 13 or 14) and breaks them really easy!! ANYONE think of something that is half way??]]> Bridesmaids - BMs thank-you gifts!!! http://www.weddingbycolor.com/shaybaby/milestones/27572 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/shaybaby/milestones/27572 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 21:54:00 PST My Fav Jewelry - 1928 jewelry, etsy.com http://www.weddingbycolor.com/shaybaby/milestones/27280 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/shaybaby/milestones/27280 Sun, 28 Sep 2008 15:48:00 PST Ask a Question - Ceramic vs. Plastic http://www.weddingbycolor.com/shaybaby/milestones/27012 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/shaybaby/milestones/27012 Fri, 26 Sep 2008 18:03:00 PST DIY - Jewelry http://www.weddingbycolor.com/shaybaby/milestones/26827 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/shaybaby/milestones/26827 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 13:53:00 PST How we met - Only read if you have some time. LOL http://www.weddingbycolor.com/shaybaby/milestones/26723 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/shaybaby/milestones/26723 Wed, 24 Sep 2008 20:41:00 PST NEVER remember it. So I just decided to call him “Sexy Voice Man”. My friend’s sister was graduating from highschool also, so I was over to watch her get ready and celebrate a bit before she left for the ceremony. We were waiting for her escort to arrive. Being only 14 at the time, I didn’t know who her escort was because he was 19. I asked my friend who he was and she said, “Oh, just some guy from out of town.” That was the end of that... Before Safe Grad was to start, my boyfriend introduced me to “Sexy Voice Man”. Again telling me his name but has history repeats itself, I couldn’t remember it. I was just mortified my boyfriend did such a thing, because I secretly had a crush on this guy, (well actually only his voice because this was our first time formally meeting.) After we said our Hi’s and Bye’s I headed home thinking that was the end of that. After awhile I started to go to house parties on the weekends. I saw this guy a few times who I thought was cute, but I was still with my boyfriend and he was with his girlfriend. I didn’t know his name and he didn’t know mine. October 2003 I broke it off with my boyfriend. It was thanksgiving weekend and all the kids were back from college for the holiday. That meant lots of big parties. My girlfriend told me about a party she knew about so I went with her. After awhile I saw fellow standing in the kitchen. A few times we both tried to make small talk, but if it wasn’t girls trying to get me to dance or ex’s that would show up and harass us it was something else. We just could not seem to sit down and talk. I had a part-time job at a grocery store. There was one guy inpeticular that came in the a lot. A friend I worked with always went over and chatted with a guy by the name of Mike. Everytime I tried to strike up a conversation it was short and sweet. I figured he didn’t like me, for whatever reason. If you don’t know already,Halloween is my FAVOURITE time of the year. So when it actually landed on a Friday I couldn’t have been more happy. All we needed was to find a party. A volleyball tournament was out of town that weekend, so there was about 5 of us left in town. Being in highschool, grade 12, Halloween, Friday night, we were desperate. I thought, “Da heck with it. I’ll ask Mike.” Sure enough, I served him at the grocery store. He was working nights and came in for a sub. I went for it. Asked him what he was doing the next night and we should all dress up and have some drinks. He said maybe, but he was supposed to go to out of town in the morning for a Halloween party there. I decided then and there I had made a fool of myself infront of this cute boy and still had no where to go. After school the next day a buddy called me and told me the party was at Mike's. I couldn’t believe it! Sweet! Like any other gathering there are games and such. There was a total of 8 people. We had to become creative to get any sorta game going. We were playing this one, where a dice was rolled and if a certain number appreared a “rule” was made. Apparently the girls saw the chemistry between Mike and I and decided one of these rules were for Shay & Mike to kiss. As the night progressed, we would end up talking and sitting with each other where we didn’t even hear people talking. Eventually they would yell and us to pay attention to the game. Finally after awhile I looked over to see what game they were playing now and everyone was gone. That is when Mike “asked me out.” And the rest is history... or so we thought. A few months into the relationship we got talking about how we met and had a crush on each other for awhile but could never pursue it. Mike asked me, “Do you remember talking to me on the phone that one night?” I answered with a puzzled look on my face and said, “No. We’ve never talked on the phone before this.” “Yes you did. One night at your boyfriend’s you guys all called me and you and I talked briefly.” I was ALMOST speechless. I was dating “Sexy Voice Man!” I said to Mike, “Do you know how long I have had a crush on you! You are like a superstar to me! I’ve liked you for so long and I didn’t even know it.” So since I have been the wee age of 14 I have been in love with my now husband, Mr. Michael “Sexy Voice Man”.]]> Fh's gift - This is <b>SO CUTE!!!</b> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/shaybaby/milestones/26651 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/shaybaby/milestones/26651 Wed, 24 Sep 2008 13:42:00 PST Ask a Question - Honorary BMs? http://www.weddingbycolor.com/shaybaby/milestones/26486 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/shaybaby/milestones/26486 Tue, 23 Sep 2008 14:27:00 PST sisters, not S.I.L.! With that being said, I, of course, wanted them in the wedding party, but with them it would have been a total of 7! Thats too much for me. So I would like them to be Honorary BMs... I want to give them corsages of course, and include them in my speech, maybe write them each a letter. But what else can I do to make them feel included??]]> Flower Girl - One of my BM's daughter http://www.weddingbycolor.com/shaybaby/milestones/25353 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/shaybaby/milestones/25353 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 22:35:00 PST DIY http://www.weddingbycolor.com/shaybaby/milestones/25259 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/shaybaby/milestones/25259 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 12:19:00 PST Ask a Question - Is it just me or....??? http://www.weddingbycolor.com/shaybaby/milestones/25150 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/shaybaby/milestones/25150 Sun, 14 Sep 2008 20:51:00 PST UPDATE: Just to let people know, this post isn't a stab at the brides who have more money, and Im not questioning their budgets and assuming they are gonna spend every penny bc they have it...
