Abbie of Beauty, On May 17, 2022 at 22:11

Thoughts on Knot Theory Rings
Abbie of Wedding fashion, On April 24, 2022 at 22:02

Anyone have any experience with silicone rings from Knot Theory? From their promo pics they look at lot “cheaper” than the Enso rings. Also, their customer support has been terrible….

Hey all! How did you select your witnesses? Did you just go with your MOH/BM? Seems like it would be tough to pick between parents.
