Thanks aussiewench-we know there was a major breakdown and we appreciate the efforts of all to restore and preserve as much as possible. I know it wasn't easy!

How is everyone this morning?

Ok I found the new site...Rhonda thanks for posting it on Yahoo, I had no idea how to get into it.
Well I posted a pic of my ring, I figured I would share with everyone, it is a pic from the advertisement online, Adrian didnt want me to tell everyone where he got if from but I dont care (it came from Walmart laughing.gif ) I actually picked it out and told him about it so when he was in California in Nov. he went to Walmart and found it. I really like it so I guess that is what matters, he said after we are married he wants to replace the middle diamond with a bigger one. (it doesnt matter to me)

Hope everyone is having a good day?

Oh yeah I keep forgetting to ask, can someone tell me how to take some of my pictures off the yahoo site? I wanted to take a couple of them off so that there is enough space for new people to post thier pics.

I'm here at work, bored as usual wacko.gif I'm trying to figure out how to use this new site. I clicked on "reply" instead of "quote" as we used to do. We'll see what happens.

OK, it worked. So then what is the "quote" for? If you click on it, it changes color and goes from a plus + sign to a negative - sign. huh.gif Does anybody know?
thndrdancr
Ok, let me see if I have the hang of this now. And I totally missed the titillating discussion yesterday, darnit!

Your ring is beautiful and it doesn'matter where it came from as long as you both like it
Jamaica to CT
Dru-a lot of us have been having trouble receiving mail from Jamaica- I've been waiting for something mailed over 2 months ago. I assume that I will not receive that mailing. If you only have one certified copy of your marriage certificate, and if you want to receive it faster perhaps you want to consider express mail for speed and safety.
nyseness
Hi everyone,

I'm here checking out things and see what's going on. I too like this forum better it's more updated.

Joanna to me it doesn't matter where the ring come from all about the meaning.

Welcome to America Neil!!
woogietail
Coming from JA, does it matter, if it is sent express mail, won't it still take the same amount of time? He did get two cert. certificates.

By the way, I post a few of our wedding pics on yahoo. luv.gif

Welcome Neill!!


There are Fed-Ex offices throughout the island; if you check their website it will give you the exact sites; also I've heard that DHL ships from there also. Those options shouldn't take any longer than it does to ship from here. Also there is registered mail at the post offices; that is more secure and I received a mailing in about 10 days.



Dru-OMG your pictures are so beautiful. You two make such a lovely couple. I have to say we have the most beautiful brides and grooms (to be too) from this forum. I hope that one day soon I will make a lovely bride too.

One thing that I did notice is about this new site is that if you make several posts consecutively; it will be combined on one post. Probably until someone else posts.
rhondapayter
Good morning everyone star_smile.gif

I can't seem to get used to this new format wacko.gif I don't like the fact that if you make a couple posts in a row, they all go on the same post. Does anyone know how to get around this?
rhondapayter
What's the difference between "fast reply" and "add reply"???

Don't mind me, I'm just trying out some of the new features. blush.gif

Thank you for the compliment. I do think that all of the pictures of our group are beautiful.

And thanks for mentioning about the consecutive post, I thought I was doing something wrong and kept trying to edit it, doe-doe brain; as my son calls me before I whack him. headbonk.gif

[b]I did not do this right, this new way is going to drive me crazy. Will someone please tell me how to reply to someone without making it look like the above.

wow, i thought i was in the wrong place for a second!!

Good afternoon fam.

I was out of work on Friday, i went to get my wedding dress kicking.gif kicking.gif . Squito and I went to a bridal expo on Saturday with my mom. We made the deposit on reception hall for our big bashment wedding this summer (save the date, July 15th!!!). He went back to the Social Security Office this morning to find out why he has not yet received his card, they mispelled our address mad.gif but they corrected it now and said he should receive it in 10 business days, let's hope that's true this time.

Anyhoo, it's been a very tiring and hectic weekend but i'm just glad that our big wedding plans are coming together. I'm going to catch up (which means that I may need to check the archive).

Neil, welcome to America!!!

Darah & Henry...congrats on receiving your GC and the new gig! wink.gif
