Charmanté Bridal & Evening Wear

Charmanté becomes one of the hottest bridal salons in Waterloo Region by making shopping fun and pressure-free

Owner, Janis Diebolt, has roots so deep in the bridal attire business that she was practically born in a bridal salon. Janis’ mother owned the largest bridal salon in Canada (Bridal Penthouse in Kitchener) throughout the ‘60s and ‘70’s. Janis worked the busy salon from 1970 on. With over thirty years in the wedding industry, it’s not a surprise that she has, with a lot of help from her family... click for more

HOT TOPICS: Making it her special day too.......

"I am 26 years old and had my daughter when I was 15. Her father left right away when I was 3 mths prego, my daughter has never met him. She is 10 now and loves my FH. the three of us have been together for 4 1/2 years, living together for 3 in our owe house. In Aug 2005 we had (our) first (my second) baby girl. So this mean MY daughter and I have the same last name and my 2nd daughter and my FH have his last name.... confusing! Anyway, the big change for us will be that my FH will be adopting my first daughter and we will all then have the same last name. She will be 11 when we marry and I am hoping to do something special for her that day to include her... i am hoping to get the adoption complete before the wedding (and not tell anyone - other then my FH) and make it official at my reception and then my FH and daughter can have there first dance together as father and daughter Crying or Very sad Not sure what song to use just yet as these thoughts are fresh!..."

Advice Chat: Disappointed with a bridesmaid...

"I know that some of you have talked about this before, but I just needed to vent a little. I have lived all over Canada growing up so I have friends everywhere. Two of my best friends are standing for me. One in Winnipeg who has been awesome, and one in Nova Scotia. The one in NS has NOT been there for me when I need her. I've talked to her maybe 3 times since I've gotten engaged and she's really excited for me, but that's not enough to me! She never calls me to see how things are going and she hasn't even bought her ticket yet! The wedding in Sept 29th and I'm getting nervous. The last time we spoke with was about a month ago she said that she was going to be here, but I don't know! I don't feel right about it and I'm really hurt that she's not there for me. I've called her many times and she's never home nor does she return my calls..."

Subject:

how I proposed!

"Hi, there! I'm new to the boards, been reading for a couple weeks to get ideas and such. And I thought I'd like to share our story! So, my now-fiance and I did things a little differently. At Christmas time, he gave me a beautiful ring, but it was meant to be a promise ring (as he did not want us to get engaged until after I was done school next year). Well, after that, I knew exactly where he stood, and I got it in my..."
