This is a picture of my beautiful daughter and her dear husband on their wedding day. I can’t imagine that in this blog about gardening and related things, I haven’t mentioned my daughter’s garden wedding. She was married and exchanged wedding rings with her honey at the NJ Botanical Gardens, it was a picture perfect day, thank goodness, and a magnificent setting. Don’t they look young? They were, this was 4, going on 5 years ago.
My husband and I were with them when they chose the place for their reception, and I was with my daughter when she chose her dress, but I didn’t have much to do with the purchase of the wedding rings, that is something that they did themselves. I am actually surprised that I can’t recall what kind of rings they chose, whether my son-in-law chose from beautiful black tungsten rings like the ones that I have been looking at, wow, they are so masculine! Since he is into all those guy things like cars, sports, fishing, etc., I can picture him with one of the beauties pictured at the site I was introduced to today. The titanium bracelets look pretty, too. When I buy rings, it’s hard to figure out what size to get…presently my engagement and wedding rings are “permanent attachments” to my hand because I have never taken them off, and have put on a few lbs., so I’d need to measure my finger if I were to buy a new ring. I noticed that at the site I have linked to in this post, they will send you a sizing set right away to help you figure out your size. Great idea!
If you’re planning your wedding now, may I wish you the very best! It’s hard to think about garden weddings today, as it’s about 30 degrees and I’m stoking our wood stove on a regular basis, but the seasons change quickly, and I always have to remind myself that not everyone lives in a climate with regular season changes.
