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.

Miss Dachshund, Fresno, CA Age and Occupation: 24, Legal Office Assistant Fiance's Age and Occupation: 27, Computer Technician Engagement Date: April 18, 2009 Wedding Date: May 2010 Venue: Victorian Gardens of Two Sisters About Me: I’m a 24-year-old Californian bride-to-be who found love in the most unlikely of places - an online video game! 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…

It’s going to be a Norfolk flavored wedding with the verve of an only-daughter-blow-out bash!

Ring Rockability

September 28th, 2009 @ 1:26 pm by Miss Lamb

I follow Offbeat Bride. And deep down, in my secret subconscious, I wish I had the guts to be more daring like many of the brides featured there.

In absence of my courage, I live vicariously through the posts and randomly bookmark rockable wedding items, just in case I throw this whole big traditional thing out the window.

Here’s a sampling of rings I have in my…

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

September 18th, 2009 @ 6:02 pm by Mrs. Mary Jane

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…

My Memento of Commitment and Love

September 18th, 2009 @ 3:55 pm by Miss Lamb

But sometimes, I also call it my bling.

I was not 100% set on a diamond engagement ring. I said several times that it wasn’t the ring that mattered to me. However, I knew that the woolly counterpart likes to follow tradition and that his impeccable jewelry taste would probably be bestowed upon me in the form of an engagement ring.

One winter, 7 of our friends/acquaintances,…

Our Cohabitation Rings

September 18th, 2009 @ 12:28 pm by Mrs. Moonbeam

We had these made a couple of years ago, a few months after we moved in with each other in Seattle. They’ve got three garnets (we had been together for three years when we got them), each other’s first initial and the dents sort of look like tree bark. They kind of reminded us of carving each other’s initials in a tree. The insides are engraved with ’exclusive…

We both come from a small town in PA but are growing to love the California lifestyle. He loves wine and I love cheese... the perfect combination! When I'm not drooling over wedding blogs, I'm attending grad school, out being a foodie, or attempting to "walk" our cat at the park. Two things guaranteed to excite me are wedding cakes and breaking out my suitcase to travel. Mr. Sunbeam and I are personalizing our hometown wedding to celebrate our high school sweetheart status and PA roots with a few CA touches. After ten years of dating we couldn't be more excited to call each other husband and wife!

The Last Size Five

Finding my wedding band has been quite an ordeal. As you may recall, I was into the idea of getting a white enamel band. I loved the idea so much. The problem is, as many of you said, enamel is fragile, but some are so darn pretty, like this one I showed you before from Martha Stewart Weddings:

A Little About the Groom

Obviously I’ve posted a lot about what I want and what I’m going to do, and not a whole lot about my better half. I decided to change it up and make sure that both parties are represented here. OK, well, at least for this post. No promises about the future.

Miss Ramen, Phoenix Age and Occupation: 26, Optometry Student Fiance's Age and Occupation: 23, Industrial Designer Engagement Date: January 3, 2009 Wedding Date: December 2009 Venue: Phoenix Art Museum About Me: I'm an SF-born, Seattle-raised girl, transplanted to Phoenix where I'll be getting married, and planning all the way from Orange County where I go to school (yes, it feels as crazy as it sounds). I loooooove Yogurtland, am slightly very obsessed with all things paper, am heavily addicted to wedding blogs, deeply desire a puppy, thoroughly enjoy cooking, cry when I watch (almost all) movies, thrive on solo car-karaoke, can't stop being sarcastic, am neurotic about taking pictures of almost everything I eat before I eat it, and aspire to travel the world. My super-talented fiance and I are attempting to DIY a majority of our massive (~350 guests) "clean & modern, yet romantic, but completely unexpected, with a teeny dash of vintage" wedding, stay within our not-so-massive budget, and somehow get a really luxe (but still fun!) look/feel at the same time. In music terms (since we're both really into music) think Coldplay meets Motown meets Kanye meets Sinatra.

Band-ing Together

September 15th, 2009 @ 5:24 pm by Mrs. Star

Mr. Star and I had a terrible time finding rings we liked in a traditional jewelry store. There were lots of gorgeous options, for sure, but none that really seemed to be “us”. And the ones that even came close were just soooo expensive.

On top of that, my gorgeous engagement ring has a bit of an odd shape, and I couldn’t find a single band…

His Ring

September 12th, 2009 @ 1:20 pm by Mrs. Cowboy Boot

At first, I was wary. Was I really going to order a ring from iweddingband.com? The name itself made the website sound cheesy. But after searching around online for better prices, I never found them. I also scoured the internet for reviews of the site, and all were glowing. So, I bit the bullet.

Enter: Mr. Cowboy Boot’s 18k yellow gold, 5 mm, half-round wedding band. It arrived in the mail a few days ago (about a week after ordering it) and it’s lovely. The best part? It was $254, and Mr. CB loves it.

Or I guess it would be four, if you count my other ring.

About a month or so ago, Mr. Beagle and I finally completed our shopping for wedding rings. His requests were simple: inexpensive, no diamonds. We browsed through some jewelry stores, but the white gold rings were more than he wanted to spend, and the tungsten/titanium rings seemed overpriced. After I saw Miss Lab’s…
