Put A Ring On It!

Monday, March 29th, 2010 by Miss M

Today I thought I would turn my attention to wedding rings. Most of us girls on the journey down the aisle probably already have a rock on the finger to show off, but we still need to consider wedding rings.

I was fortunate enough to have an inkling that Mr M was going to pop the question, so off we went to a manufacturing jeweller in Adelaide, as I had a specific ring in mind. I had my hopes on a beautiful piece from Canturi Jewellers in Melbourne and many years before had been in store to try it on, so I knew that was the style I wanted. I took the photo of said ring to the manufacturing jeweller and they made it for us, at a considerably lower price!!!


Not only should you consider manufacturing jewellers but estate jewellery as well. A girlfriend of mine purchased her rings at a much reduced price and she loves the fact that they have been pre-loved and have history.


I will be returning to the same manufacturing jeweller to have our bands made and maybe another rock or two added to the engagement ring…if the budget permits!! Or, there is always room for anniversaries…


Invite lists of who to invite and upsetting friends and relatives alike

Whilst most of us are madly whittling down our lists of who to invite and upsetting friends and relatives alike, spare a thought for people in Japan!


If you don’t have enough people to make up the numbers or you don’t want your betrothed to know that you have no friends, you can hire someone to attend your wedding for as little as $200. For an extra $50, they will sing and dance as well and for $100 more they will even make a speech or pretend to be your boss!

Bridezilla Attacks!

Thursday, March 11th, 2010 by WGSA


A bridal store in the US was just about destroyed by a bride to be and her extended family when the owner refused to make alterations to her dress.


So, if you think you may be turning into a Bridezilla at any stage, take some consolation that you are not like acting as crazy as this young lady and her family.

I wasn’t aware that I had to make myself a whole new me

Outdoor Weddings, I’m still not sure?

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010 by Miss M

Outdoor Weddings: Back to the drawing board for our choice of venue!! The place that we had booked (but thankfully had not yet paid the deposit!?!), has just now apologetically contacted us to say they have made an error and have double booked on that day!
