Donna:I would look at all the pictures and read the announcements in the newpaper. Do they still do that?
Here you can still get your picture in the newspapers. Specially if you get your pictures taken at a proffetional - cause they love to see their names on print too as the "Picture by..."
Donna:I am like Lois, what size beads would you like and are there any that have a special meaning to you and your fiancee'?
Like I answered Lois - 1-12mm (or I can stretch to 15mm if its not a heavy bead like stone)
And its nothing that really have some special meaning as of matterial - the special thing about these beads are that they are filled with your love and good wishes.
