The Ring Part II: Irony in a Blue Box

November 7th, 2009 @ 6:00 pm by Miss Pretzel

It wasn’t lost on me how ironic it was that I, a self professed low maintenance girl, fell in love with THE classic Tiffany engagement ring. When Mr Pretzel and I finally visited Tiffany & Co together we had a lot of fun with the sales associate, Amy. She said hands down I was the easiest future fiance she had worked with. My requirements were…

Most Romantic Wedding Band

November 6th, 2009 @ 2:30 pm by Miss Frozen Yogurt

Have you ever found something while planning your wedding that you just knew you had to have? Well, I’ve had that happen several times, but I’ve never had to have anything as much as I’ve needed this.

I was stumbling around on Etsy, which is not all that uncommon for me these days, and I came across the most perfect piece of jewelry from Fabuluster. And…

The Ring Part I: Hugging the Girdle

November 6th, 2009 @ 11:56 am by Miss Pretzel

A little while ago we took my size 4 ring in to be sized down to a size 3.5… yeah I’ve got some teeny-tiny fingers. The day we were to pick up my ring, I got struck with the flu and spent the rest of the week in bed or in quarantine. Sigh… we had to wait an extra week be reunited. I felt strange…

Our big fat Czech/Baptist/Jewish/Italian wedding is a combination of vintage eclectic, DIY, and little spoonful of sugar from our Event Coordinator. It’s going to be a Norfolk flavored wedding with the verve of an only-daughter-blow-out bash!

Earring Adornment and More

November 5th, 2009 @ 2:02 pm by Miss Lamb

A while ago, I took the advice of the hive into consideration and bought myself a pair of vintage earrings from an Etsy seller. They came in the mail the other day and I had a little photo shoot with them!

First off, these bad boys are a lot bigger than I thought they would be. To refresh your memory, here’s the pic from Etsy over at Fincara along with "my look" board:

All That Glitters…

… Is on my hand! I promised to show a picture of my engagement ring, so here we go. I didn’t pick it out, although I did give Mr Trail Mix some guidelines to go by. More on that in a little bit. He did an amazing job and even though it’s been more than 6 months since we got engaged, I still catch myself…

I Said Yes!

October 28th, 2009 @ 2:37 pm by Miss Pretzel

So, Mr Pretzel and I had a trip to New England planned since this past spring. I grew up in NH and most of my mom’s family is in Maine or Massachusetts, so this was our “meet the rest of the family" trip. My mom made the trip with us---making it even more special. My heart was set on being engaged for this trip, so we could celebrate our engagement with my family. As the days ticked by and our trip got closer, I got more and more stressed out. Had he bought the ring? Was he going to propose?

I Heart Paloma’s Nest

Woo hoo!! I got a very exciting package in the mail this past weekend! I ordered way too many things last week (stamps, ink pads, Halloween costume, out of town guests bags, and the list goes on and on), so every day was like Christmas at my mailbox. I’m still waiting on a lot of those items, but I got one item I’ve been waiting…

A Spoiled Rotten Nightmare.

October 22nd, 2009 @ 2:10 pm by Mrs. Peep Toe

Hi, I am Mrs. Peep Toe, and I am spoiled rotten.

A few months before our wedding, I *might* have mentioned under my breath (which might have also been ridden with alcohol) that my engagement ring would look even more perfect flanked by not just one band, but two. Yep, I was that girl that asked for it all up front.

Oops, did I do that??

I'm fashion and beauty obsessed, and have recently discovered my inner domestic diva extraordinaire. I'm a wannabe chef, decorating addict, and trying desperately to be as crafty as possible---albeit only with a glue gun. I'm hopelessly in love with my fiance, and all things sparkly and feathery. Despite the glittery exterior, I'm a total hippie on the inside. When I'm not making up pretty faces, I love doing what I can to help people, animals, and the environment. Someday the FI and I will change the world, but first we're tackling our modern-vintage-Marie-Antoinette-meets-Alice-in-Wonderland inspired wedding. I just can't wait to be Mrs. Rainbow!

Thanksgiv(r)ing

October 21st, 2009 @ 5:25 pm by Miss Rainbow

Mr. Rainbow and I have a history of keeping our Thanksgivings pretty low-key. I think that stems from being “un-invited” to my FMIL’s Thanksgiving Dinner in 2007, the first year we were together… and yes, you heard that right. Un-invited. Anyway, moving on… after calling my mom half-way to tears that year, she invited us down to South Florida to spend Thanksgiving with her, even…

The Left Hand Scan

October 14th, 2009 @ 6:40 pm by Miss Frozen Yogurt

So the other day I was at Central Market (comparable to Whole Foods, sorta, for you non-Texas girls) and I was planning on just grabbing some lunch, but then as I walked through the aisles I was tempted by all sorts of glorious, organic food and I just couldn’t help myself (I swear this is relevant to the story). So as I’m juggling my salad, raspberries, wine for later, and some delicious cheese, I stop at the drink section to try and pile on some sparkling water. And then I see this guy approaching me.

I’m a farmer’s daughter living in rural Central California, but will always have a special place in my heart for the city. My future husband is a 27-year-old extraordinarily tall, exceptionally cute, and undoubtedly Canadian boy who was able to sweep me off my feet and take me for his bride. I love color, folksy songs that make me smile, interior design, kettle corn, my one-year-old puppy, Juno, and my fiance, of course! We’re planning a DIY garden wedding with a laundry-list of projects, all while dealing with the bureaucracy that is American Immigration!
About Miss Dachshund

I didn’t have a traditional proposal. I wasn’t surprised with a ring and Mr. Dachshund never went down on one knee. Really, our engagement began with the decision to finally start our fiance visa paperwork.

To be honest, I’m alright with that. In fact, because we did it that way, I was able to choose my own engagement ring. I love Mr. D with all of…

A Bit of Sparkle

September 28th, 2009 @ 12:19 pm by Miss Parfait

The story about my ring begins with a story about my mother’s ring.

Years ago, my mother had a beautiful, BEAUTIFUL (like hallelujah-choruses-sang-in-its-presence) ring. Whenever she wore it, I’d ask if I could try it on. It was simple: a thin white gold band and a big, sparkly diamond. In my eyes, it was perfect.

In her eyes, it was too simple. Too young. She needed a…

Ring Alterations and Secret Engravings

Mr. Mary Jane and I took our rings to the jeweler today. We really didn’t want to part with them, but we had a few matters to attend to.

First off, I needed my wedding band re-sized. I had the e-ring re-sized back in March, but never the wedding band. It was a bit too big, and I need that corrected. It’s a little weird wearing…
