It was my own. We went to the courthouse, 400 miles from home and invited no one.

Sherri Golding

I attended a destination wedding in Las Vegas and my kids (who were also invited to the wedding) joined me and we had a blast. The wedding was fun and we enjoyed the sightseeing.

Jackie Pittman

We attended two destination weddings in the Bahamas and are attending one in Napa, CA, next week. We enjoy extending the trip to explore these other places.

They are all too expensive for my budget.

Rebecca Rogers

I was sad to miss my cousin's wedding but it was beyond my comprehension to spend $5k or more to fly my family to a foreign country for the weekend!

Tina Bouthillier

We went to our son's wedding in Nevada from the east, but I wouldn't call it a destination wedding.

Theresa Scherf

Have never had occasion to.

I wish I did but a good quality emerald is so expensive. Yes, there are "created" emeralds, but unlike diamonds which look great, the created emeralds do not.

Elizabeth Cornish

To continue my story (this is 3/3), I was very envious when one of my best friends got faux emeralds for her birthday and wore them first. However, I was happy to wear mine anyway. My friends bulled me because I was a "copycat" even tho they all knew I had received mine first. #meangirls!

Elizabeth Cornish

My parents got me faux emeralds as my first pair of pierced earings and I looked at them in the box until my mom could find the "self-piercing" rings that slowly worked into your ear over a couple of weeks. When I proudly wore my birthstone earings to school my best friends bullied.

My birthstone is Amethyst. I like it. I like the color. But one, I prefer Emeralds. And two, I don't wear jewelry anymore.

No, I have no rubies, and I wept mock tears for my husband's benefit answering this.
