Ringa Ding Ding!!

It occurred to me that mayhaps I had skipped a few things along the line. Afterall, what about the ring? I suppose I should explain how Mr. M proposed..and the ring he chose.
Mr. M and I had been discussing marriage for some time. It wasn’t a surprise that he would propose. Actually, it was more like… “Oh.. you know I think its best we get married.”
Response: “Yeeah… I think we’re at that point.”
And, there you go! Mr. and Mrs. Manolo decide that they should take the next step in their relationship. I had already given him the ideas on what stone I liked. My favorite stones were cushion, radiant, and asscher. I liked them all for different reasons. I loved cushion because it was classic and elegant… radiant because of its divine sparkle..and asscher because of its royal history. I didn’t tell Mr. M exactly what setting I wanted or what size stone I would fancy. But, whatever stone he did chose had to be the best quality. He agreed.
See, I’m a sneaky little fellar. Mr. M can’t do anything without me knowing. And I mean anything. I practically have him on surveillance.*chuckles* All he would have to do is say “dinner” and I’d scream “PROPOSAL!!“
But, to my surprise it was one sunny May afternoon that I came home from work to find a giant heart made of red and ivory rose petals. Candles lit up the room.. and there with his guitar Mr. M was sitting.
After all the I love you’s..and reasons why he wanted to marry me.. Mr. M pulled out the ring.
In the end, he chose a wonderful radiant stone (tres carats may I add)…and I couldn’t be happier. I love it. All of his studying Colors and Clarities and Cuts paid off. The setting design is classic and unique. The stone is more than I could dream for. It floats magically inside four prongs covered in micro-pave diamonds.

Even though the stone is heavy, the entire ring surprisingly is not. The band is made with palladium metal which although has the strength of platinum is actually lighter in weight. I never knew there was such a metal.
There you have it…Mr. and Mrs. M get hitched!
What’s your favorite stone?
Swoon Swoon with a Silver Spoon… the reception dress.

So, call me complicated but instead of wearing my ceremony gown for the whole evening, I’m going to change into a few dresses. One of my gowns will be a reception dress. There are so many different style reception dresses out there that it was hard to choose!
Amsale is the only designer I know of that carries a line of just short dresses; its called the Little White Dress Collection. Some ladies wear them for the entire evening and some just wear them for the reception. Either way, that bride is going to look adorable. Some people think that short dresses are going to be the next hot trend in weddings, and I could totally see happening.

I’m not going to lie… I was very tempted to get a short dress. But with the advice of a few friends, I decided to go with the long dress. I wanted it to resemble old Hollywood Glam. And….*drum roll please*
Here she is- The Jenny Packham Sabine gown. If you take a look at Jenny Packham’s line.. you’ll see that she really has the vintage Hollywood look DOWN. Seriously, she’s a genius. But, if you’re looking for Jenny Packham gowns to try on, they’re sort of difficult to find. Not many boutiques carry her line and they’re aren’t that many samples floating around. I ended up getting the dress from London. I’ll update you guys when it arrives.

But of course, the search is still on for the headpiece. It’s called Acacia III. There’s another version called Acacia II, and I’m still undecided. More on that later.

What do you think? III or II? I can’t decide! Maybe I’ll just wear a trash bag on my head and call it a day.
