Chiquitunga Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Quick list of the US OCD Carmels we know so far that do ..

I do know Dallas recently (like within the past 5 years) went back to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureSister2009 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I have a new question about this. If you are entering a community that does wear wedding dresses, do you get to buy your own or do they provide them at the monastery. Because if we could buy our own, I would totally love to go to Kleinfeld's in NYC to buy mine (as long as it was beautiful and modest of course!)

Because I am blessed to have a feel for my vocation at a young age, much will be required of me in the way of patience, so this really is my engagement ring.

Feankie Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 What a beautiful sentiment regarding the ring. The I Will Wait engraved on it could be taken many ways by different individuals, perhaps simply as a chastity ring. But you and only you (I presume) would know it's real meaning. And it's a great conversation starter if people ask what does it mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnneLine Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Oh, FutureCarmeliteClaire!!! Wait for the Lord! Such a perfect sentiment for Advent, too!

Strictlyinkblot Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 As I have to wait too I've been looking for a ring. I want something discreet and something that reflects who I am. I love the line from the Bible 'I am my Beloved's and my Beloved's is mine' from Song of Songs. What do you think? Its not cheap but similar rings in the UK which aren't as nice cost as much even with shipping included. I'll probably get it in silver but I might save up for the gold one.
