Wedding Wednesday: Hypes and a Gripe

This is probably not your standard Wedding Wednesday post, since mine is going to be about some awesome stuff going on, as well as a gripe that I've been having lately.

 

Hype:

We got our wedding bands. Mine is an eternity band made from the same diamonds around my engagement ring band. My engagement ring was specially designed and the little diamonds around the band are called blaze diamonds. When I was looking at bands, the guy suggested we do my wedding band in blaze diamonds, as well. He said he'd never done it before, which would make it totally unique and I can't wait!

Hype:

I mentioned on monday that we got a really great discount on our rings because I found out that the guy who was selling us the rings, has a daughter who goes to the same school that I work at. Small world=good discount!

Hype:

We've had people making the first purchases off of our registry. A few sets of our dishes, two serving trays, and suitcases so far and I'm SO excited! I can't wait for my bridal shower in PA!

Gripe:

I was told that our wedding registries didn't work. Why? Because people were typing in my full name (that I don't go by) as opposed to Jenn. I DO understand the confusion since most people register under their full names. Luckily it was an easy fix (I just changed my name to Jennifer on the registries so that no matter what people put in, it will come up). 

But here's my major "gripe". I sent out Save the Dates with our wedding website on it. There's a reason for that. It has a link to EVERYTHING you need to know about coming to our wedding, buying a gift, where to stay, etc etc etc. If those are clicked, it takes you RIGHT where you need to go without having to type a single thing into anything.

I've been asked by people (including my own mother), what the website is, where we are registered, what the registry addresses are, what date our wedding is, and where the hotel information is. Guess what information is ALL on our wedding website, which, if you are invited to the wedding, is on your Save the Date? Bingo! EVERYTHING.

My friend told me to expect a lot more questions that could easily be answered without asking me/us throughout the rest of the process. So, this will be my test in patience I guess.

Sorry for the gripe. I just needed to vent. Especially since I freaked out over our registries "not working" when that wasn't the case at all.

One more Hype:

Can you see the puzzle pieces from the puzzle we're doing while we have no cable or Internet? haha

We have our wedding stamps purchased, they're on the invitations, which are sealed and ready to be sent off today! This is happening!!!
