My fiance purchased my setting and diamond at Benari. The diamond was wholesale, meaning we saved a lot of money, but you would never know by looking at it. My setting was a round solitaire setting with gorgeous design on the sides and about .16 carat of diamonds. The loose diamond bought for my ring was 1.31 carat, G color, SI1, and an ideal cut. I am extremely happy with my ring, many people comment that he must have spent nearly $10,000, however, it only cost $5985 for just the diamond! Their website is www.diamante.com.

I am only having about 20 people at my Bridal Shower, and I did not feel like wasting a huge deposit on a room that will hold up to 100 people, when I'm only having 20. I found out that Ruffini's, a place right in Coatesville, PA, has a small banquet room, perfect for my party, and also has a very tuscan design on the inside. I am doing a sit down lunch banquet, where the most expensive item on the menu is $13.95. The deposit to hold the room is only $50!!

My wedding is going to be a tuscan/italian theme, and I could not find a good tuscan theme invitation anywhere. One day, I searched the internet for tuscan invitations, and handykaneweddings.com came up with their tuscan amore design. I absolutely loved them and fell in love, so I placed an order with them, and they sent me proofs via e-mail, and saw that I did not like the font, so they changed it for me with no questions, and I received the invitations in the mail about 1 month ago and am amazed! They have that old-world and tuscan look, they even truly took the time to burn the edges on the paper, I can smell the burn!

My fiance and I initially planned on honeymooning at Sandals Whitehouse in Jamaica, however, when we went to book the price jumped and it would cost over $5000 including the flight. We reviewed a lot of all-inclusive resorts and saw that this had amazing reviews and was geared to honeymoon couples. You also get a lot more for your money. We are going to be staying in a swim up Junior suite, which I can't wait for!

I am having a pretty small wedding, only about 40 people, and did not intend to spend too much, but still wanted a professional looking reception. Holiday Inn- West Chester was really the only beautiful reception place under $2000! I am extremely excited about having my reception there, the wedding co-ordinator Toni is just great!
