Here is a friend of mine. Note how even permanent decision did not interrupt her classiness:

For Such A Time Is This
This week, I've had two friends throwing out "wacky" ideas in hopes for support from their friends. Why have so many people shot down their ideas?! One of my friends is getting married on August 1st and wants to get a nose ring now. All of her bridesmaids, except me, have told her to wait 'till after the wedding. Why? If it's part of who she is, why should she wait? And my other friend wants dreads, but people keep making non-supportive comments. People need to lay off. These aren't moral decisions; these are fun, non-harmful, exciting ways to change up one's look a bit. They aren't even permanent! These decisions are a part of who you were and what was going on in this time of your life! My cute-nosed friend will be able to look back at her wedding and see her classy little nose ring just like she sees her dress, the colors, the flowers she picked- all a part of what she liked in 2009 not just what was socially acceptable. (She also had to overcome parental annoyances with the fact that she picked an ivory dress). As for my dreaded friend, she can look back on a whole journey of purposely careless hair! Who wouldn't want a chapter of life to be void of brushing their hair and free from waking up worried about how greasy their hair is and how they don't have time to take a shower! Make like a swoosh and just do it!

Your friend should totally get her nose ring - and stat!! Because it takes a while to heal (mine took about 2 mo's) and she may want to change the ring before her big day. (Can't do that until after 6wks)... looking back,my nose ring so would not have an affect on my wedding pictures except for documenting my "style" for 2008. :) she should do it!!!
you know after i read this i wasn;t gunna say anything because i competely agree, and i usually just sit back and enjoy when i completely agree with someone.
But screw it. i completely agree. I think way too much of the time people give their opinion about what someone will regret or not. Like your friend with the nose ring, her bridesmaid's probably don't want her to make an impulsive decision that she may regret later.
But, nowadays i find the people who are too afraid of regrets are having regrets about being too afraid.
