In May we finally decided on matching wedding bands we both loved in St Thomas. Which we got a great deal on also. However they dont go with my e-ring which actually had its own wedding band in it, but we really wanted matching bands. I plan on either taking the diamonds out and getting a band made that will match with my wedding band we have. Or! My other idea was not wear an e-ring at all, just have my wedding band. Or! I'm even tossing around the idea of waiting until our 5 year anniversary for a new e-ring and making the current one into a heart charm with my diamonds in it. If I was you, I would try and find a non chain jeweler that will take your diamond and create you something that will match your current wedding band you have. Since your band on your e-ring is plat you may possibly be able to work out a deal for a trade the plat, for him to do a new setting for you.

So we (my FMIL) has decided we're now having an AHR. So in trying to save some money, my mother, MoH and sister in law are going to be doing alot of the work ourselves. We're doing all the invitations, place cards, table numbers, centerpieces, favors and such ourselves. This of course is along with doing OOT bags! My origional idea was a taller votive type glass container with sand and shells in it. With about 6 votive candles surrounding it, of course lit during dinner. However now, I picked up DIY invitations and stickers that have the Linked Hearts on them. So I kinda have a heart theme going on now! So instead of doing the shells, what can I do that has the same type of idea, yet incorperating hearts! BTW everything is gold and ivory. I'm at a loss! Even though I have plenty of time before the wedding, I just want to get an idea of what I'm going to do since I'm sure its going to sneak up on me!!
