The rings

So this is my engagement set: Because there are two bands on either side of the engagement ring, there was no need to do any additional shopping for a wedding band.

But what about Brian? We had looked around at Macy's and several jewelry stores in the areas and were thinking about a white gold comfort fit band. But then I was surfing around on the Web and found this bad boy:
It is tungsten carbide from Overstock.com! Who would have thunk it? I think it has a really beautiful luster (a little darker than the white gold on my ring) and I love the concave look. And the price wasn't bad either!

Now I just need to find somewhere in Birmingham that can engrave our rings for us. I was thinking of getting something like this for the engraving:

The cake!

From the beginning, I have been considering Publix for my wedding cake.

So far, my favorite design is this one, called "Lifelong Love." I really like the round-square-round-square tiers.


However, instead of green, the cake would be a very light blue.

And instead of the intricate lace and swag piping, it would be something more like this:

Then, instead of flowers as a topper, it would be this porcelain starfish:

Etsy, how I love thee!

I finally jumped on the Etsy bandwagon today, and spent some time surfing around and oohing and aahing at earrings, hairpieces and various other accouterments for the wedding.

Some of my favorites:

SKY BLUE Beaded Hair Comb with Glass and Silk Flowers and Swarovski Centerpieces


Jeweled Center Silk or Organza Gardenia Wedding Hairclip Fascinator


Starfish With Pearl Hair Pins


Classic Pearls - Lustrous 12mm Coin Pearl and Sterling Silver Drop Earrings

I think I really like a combo of the earrings with either the silk flower or the starfish pins. We'll see!

I also came across some gorgeous thank you cards, but they're a little above my budget:

I think I may have found it!
