My engagement ring is stunning! It's a 14k white gold, with a 3/4 carat diamond in a cathedral setting. There are 16 channel set round diamonds on the sides with 6 princess cut sapphires. I paired it with a platinum channel set diamond wedding band. Go unique because people LOVE to check out what looks different, but with charm, I might add.
His wedding band is a QG in Tungsten Carbide. He's an engineer, and loves to scratch his rings. This WON'T EVER SCRATCH!!! We LOVE It!!!!

We had the groom and his men wear off-white/ivory shirts, with champagne color vests. The tux itself was a Calvin Klein in black. If you are looking for a tux, don't skimp and go with the cheap one. It's YOUR wedding after all. You want to look stunning and he should too!!! Let him get the Calvin Klein. He will look wonderful! The people were so helpful and all of our tuxes arrived on time. We had NO problems and were able to return ALL the tuxes to one shop, although they had been picked up at various places.

Our invitations were beautiful! They opened like a book and they were embossed with a design on the cover. I loved them! The only thing was that they required a LOT of assembly and the square size costs SO MUCH to ship. It was about 70 cents per invite. So, if you are looking to save money, use traditional sizes, that don't require hand sorting.

My bridesmaid dresses were stunning! They were also half price. Each of my girls looked so beautiful in their dresses. I couldn't believe it!!!

It was so simple and sweet. The chapel is so pretty inside and somewhat on the outside. We had a planner help us with every detail. The only hang up is, there are NO changes in the ceremony what so ever. It's their way only. You also can not have the copyrights to your pictures without paying for them. There are usually several weddings every day, so you may be entering when someone else is leaving and vice versa. Otherwise, very nice and cheap.

The rehearsal dinner was a BLAST! We had ribs, chicken and pulled pork. It was SOOOO delicious!!! For dessert we had raspberry cheesecake and key lime pie. I won't recommend the key lime pie. It was WAY too bitter for me. But everything else was great!

We had the MOST beautiful 2 tear cake. I did NOT want traditional white frosting, because it does not photograph well. Please keep that in mind when picking colors. Pearlescent whites photograph into what we see as stark white in person. It's the flash. So, with the pearl tinting, scroll work and monogram in buttercream frosting, we had the MOST gorgeous cake ever. It fed 35 people. It was NOT traditional cake either. We wanted caramel spice cake with buttercream frosting. The cake was a sensational hit. Some of the guys went back for 2nd's and my Mother in law had to watch the top layer like a hawk to keep others from getting into it. We also had red roses spiral from around the back of the topper, down to the left bottom of the cake. It looked tall, although it was only 2 tears high, and so pretty!!! I was completely THRILLED!!!

I had Hartman's do my bridal bouquet ONLY. I had 16 akito roses, 9 Casablanca lilies, and an entire box of stephanotis as my main pieces. There were also spriggs of holiday greenery. It was the MOST beautiful bouquet. Hope, the designer, did a fabulous job. What is so neat is that my hubby was crying very hard during the ceremony (don't worry, tears of happiness). He snapped out of the crying when he smelled my bouquet. It was SO fragrant, that you could smell them from over 10 feet away. It was GORGEOUS and I LOVED it!!!!
