Oh Lindsey the ring is gorgeous!!!! I am so happy for you!! I get so excited just reading your posts. Thank you so much for letting us all be a part of your engagement. It's all so wonderful!

You have the figure to wear a mermaid gown. Do you watch that show, Say Yes to the Dress? I love to watch that show - I don't know why??? LOL! If you don't watch, you should because you can learn alot about what dresses fit which body types.

Yes I love that show! I try to watch it every Friday after work, whenever Scott will let me haha :D

I think a mermaid gown would be beautiful :) I don't want anything too princessy... I have never been a princessy person and I think I'm too old for that look now anyway. I think every wedding I've been to for the past 3 years have had brides with the same basic gown with a dropped waist and gathered skirt and I do want something a little different. But I don't want anything that I'll laugh at in 10 years!

I was so excited to get back here and tell you all! I feel like I've been so out of the loop! I'm trying to catch up reading other posts too!

You will pick the right dress, I just know it!

The ring is gorgeous Lindsey. I love it :thumbup:

I'm so jealous it's wonderful :D

I love that show too! They are helpful if you are looking for a gown! One thing is certain. You won't be a Bridezilla!!!

You really could wear just about any style gown. You have such a nice figure.

This is sooooo exciting!!!

Congratulations to you and Scott!!! Engaged on the Isle of Capri..WOW!! I'm so happy for you both:D I'm sorry some people aren't congratulating you..that's just wrong! Don't let them rain on your parade.

Thanks Betsi :)

I hope I won't be a bridezilla! Lol I don't think it will be a big deal if things aren't perfect, in the end I will be married to a wonderful man!

Tonight I hope some of Scott's friends step up and congratulate him. I hope my brother and his girlfriend lighten up when I ask their girls to be my flower girls.

Are his friends single? Probably something involving freedom, threatening actions, and testosterone!!!

I'm sorry that your brother is married to such a witch! I bet he loves you a lot, underneath it all!

Yep, they are all single. Mostly all newly single too. They all broke up with their girlfriends or got broken up with within a couple of months before we left on our trip. Scott said the same thing, that they're all single so they don't know what it's like to be in love and want to settle down, but I told him that doesn't flipping matter... Scott is so happy and it's the biggest thing in his life so far and they should put their own feelings aside and be happy for him. I think that's what true friends would do.

This morning I got a text from my brother saying "Hey you guys should come over one night this week" and he suggested Monday, so I said that's great and we will. His girlfriend is away working (she is interning in a city about an hour and a half from here). I said maybe we'll bring over a pizza or something. It was very weird because he doesn't invite us over ever. I hope that he wants to congratulate us in person!

Congratulations Lindsey!! I am sooo happy for you and Scott and what a romantic
proposal on the beautiful island of Capri... Wow!! I have not been to Italy but that trip is on my do list God willing in a few years. The ring is georgeous and you my dear deserve nothing but the best. Do you have any photos I missed this on FB got to go check.. Once again the best of luck to you both! hugs!!

Thank you Gina!! We don't have pictures on Facebook yet, Scott is just going through all of the pictures on the computer upstairs right now :rolleyes: It's going to take awhile haha

You absolutely have to visit Capri if you go to Italy! It is really the most perfect place in the world! It is just beautiful :) We stayed in Sorrento and took a day trip to Capri. I think it would be pretty expensive to actually stay there, because you basically need to be a millionaire to live there!

Lindsey my family is from Salerno near Naples and it is not far from what I understand. Lucikly I have young cousins there I never met and thanks to FB we are in touch. They keep begging us to take a trip they have many of rooms for us to stay with them. When I do go I will tour as much as possible, my husband's family if from the northern part of Italy. I can't wait to see your photos.

That would be a wonderful trip! I loved everything about Italy! Well, almost. I did love the food, but after having pizza every day I couldn't handle it anymore :rolleyes: But the pasta was delicious and the gelato was amazing! And the weather was just gorgeous! I also loved the lifestyle there! Everyone was laid back! But our tour guide pointed out that some things are under construction for 30 years because they don't really care about deadlines... it will get done when it gets done! Lol
