Will you be handing it out to guests, or being extra careful with it before your wedding day?<br /><br />What are your favorite brands of sunscreen? Can you recommend anything that doesn't have too much of a smell?<br /><br />Thanks for any suggestions!<br /><br />Also, I wanted to share a (horror) story with you guys. A week ago, on the night of my wedding reception, I lost the diamond in my engagement ring. Most people would totally freak out, but I worked in jewelry stores long enough to know the protocol and know that it would be okay and it wouldn't cost me anything. I wrote a long post about this <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/05/16/dont-panic-if-you-lose-your-diamond/">here</a>. Basically it goes over some things you should know about jewelers, insurance, and protecting yourself.urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:aisledasher:577Renting a wedding dress2008-03-12T12:06:12Z2008-03-12T12:06:12ZIs anyone here renting a gown instead of buying one? Or do you have strong feelings against renting your dress? I'm running a poll at AisleDash and I'd like to write a follow-up article there once I have some more votes and opinions. You can vote <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/03/11/save-money-when-you-rent-your-wedding-gown/">here</a>.<br /><br />Also, does anyone have experience renting a gown? Were you able to get alterations? Do you know how much you saved? Can anyone recommend a good dress rental company?<br /><br />So far in the survey, the majority of people say they would prefer to save money and rent a gown rather than buy one, yet you almost never hear of people actually doing it. Did anyone here think about it, but then you were unable to find a place that would rent a gown? <br /><br />I'd really appreciate any feedback! Thanks!
