I figure it was time for a wedding related post considering the wedding is now less than 3 months away.
I have found the perfect ring for me to wear for the rest of my life to represent the bond of marriage to the man I love.
It does not match my engagement ring at all - but I really am not a 2 ring girl, so I am fine with not wearing them together. In fact, this new ring is yellow gold and my engagement ring white gold.
The ring is by one of my favorite jewelry designers for the least 10+ years, Me & Ro. The description is as follows, 'a simple band of rich, 18K gold is engraved with Me & Ro's lotus flower. Sparkling rose cut diamonds glimmer from the center of the flower representing spiritual development and mental purity.' - take a peek - isn't it beautiful?
For Mike's ring, we plan to use a piece of jewelry that was his mom's, who has passed away years ago, to be melted and incorporated into a custom made band for sentimentality sake.
It's getting so close - and I can't wait!
It's beautiful, Hope! I absolutely love what you're doing for Mike also. I think about you and am so happy for this part of your life, as Mr. and Mrs., to begin! xo-Mel

Oh, Hope, this is a most captivating ring! And I love the fact that it is different from the engagement ring. The flower shape with those diamonds--so delicate and meaningful. I know you can't wait to wear it.

Hi Hope,
I have to catch up...I have been at the cottage for a week and therefore out of touch but I wanted to say, I love your choice for your ring. I don't wear my wedding band and engagement ring on the same finger, either and I was beginning to think I was odd! Now I know I am in good company. Anyway, I will have a good read later on and I can't wait to 'catch up' on all that you have been doing.

Oh my goodness Hope, that is about the most beautiful ring I think I have ever seen. Really, I like it as much as my own rose gold antique ring! I never had an engagement ring, but have a beautiful anniversary ring I wear on my other hand. Can't wait to see it in real life.

As a bride-to-be on a tight budget, I recently discovered an online bridal jewelry store called GlamForLess.com.
Though their website is plain and simple, I found some great deals on jewelry sets for me and my bridesmaids.
I think other readers on a tight budget may also find GlamForLess.com to be helpful.
You may want to check them out at http://www.glamforless.com/ and inform other readers about it.
Keep up the good work.
Best regards,
