My daughter is getting married in October and I was browsing through eBay for bridal stuff. Granted I'm not above a small infraction every now and again (for which I've been caught most of the time), but I'm amazed at the number of infractions in titles alone. The use of "pearl" or "diamond" without simulated or imitation abound. Does no one take heed of the warnings that are posted clear as day at the end when you are submitting the auction? That doesn't bother me so much because at least they are in the right category (pearl, imitation). But, this one really takes the cake (pay close attention to the auction title):

I really need to find another way to kill time. LOL!

Looks like her Tiara has slipped a bit

That really is serious keyword abuse.

LOL, Ltray! Doesn't every girl wear their tiara at naval level? That can't be a comfortable item to wear under a wedding gown!!

good question to ask is -Does it come in blue. LOL I am thinking it is not a gown, nor tiara, or veil. yep it is a keyword spam title. But what DO you call it, I never heard of such a thing except a belly necklace I have heard of that..

Cheryl - need any ideas for wedding thingys? I've got several I used for mine.

Roses. Sams Club wholesale bulk. You just have to make sure you order them ahead of time.

Plus I made my own invitations with Bougainvillea handmade paper I bought from Ebay. I thought they turned out really cute.

I also bought vintage handkerchiefs off of Ebay and used them as "favors/gifts" for my guests. I packaged them in the leftover Bougainvillea handmade paper - sort of like a pocket envelope.

I had my wedding cake made at Publix as a regular cake. The lady there said it was half of what a "wedding cake" would cost.

etc etc - email me if you want more info.

oh - congratulations

I saw a wedding on TV yesterday and the Bride's family spent $70,000 on the wedding at Walt Disney World.

geez.....

I would say it was a body chain except... I'm not even sure it's made of chain.

There is another seller that makes and markets these whose pieces are lower priced and seem to be better quality.
