wow! these are all great replies! i wanted to ask if any of you have had experience in talking with your future in-laws about who/what to design for jewelery... the situation here is that my mom has made a lot of heavy sets for me in particular one set which will work very nicely as a valima one....now the bridal dress which we will design, the ideal situation would be to have the guys side pay for the jewelery and that way we get our taste and are able to match it accordingly....how does one approach this or start this conversation so as not to offend anyone...thanks
it would be easier to just speak to them and ask them politely if its ok for u to choose ur on valima outfit. i actually have no idea how u would ask them about the jewelry because in some instances, the inlaws may already have gold jewelry and maybe arent looking to buy any; they might not be looking to buy gold jerwelry for the valima day cuz they might think u will only wear a big set once so theres no point in buying gold; or most likely, they will want to go shopping for gold themselves. i say, just let them make all the jewelry they wanna make and tell them that u will be wearing a set u have already. or why dont u just go shopping with them for the jewelry? u might be able to get a better set for the valima from them?
