Show off your ring!!

Yes they were all so thrilled when it finally happened so they could blab! Haha yes, both of our parents are divorced and happily re married! We've come up with our colours and theme, going for a lavender and Celtic feel as we are both Irish, we've been searching for venues and have a couple in mind! Hopefully decide on one soon haha

We have talked about it and I mentioned about rasing a family, but it's like they don't think I'm 100% ready for all that. I may be 25 and with someone for the longest time... In my parents eyes "I'm still their baby."

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your ring So different, and really cool!

That's so sweet!!!!

Hey! Another Valerie... and oddly enough emerald is my birthstone too! Your ring is GORGEOUS!!! So unique

We got engaged March 6th! So far we have a church to get married in, a pastor to marry us, the reception hall, the hall provides their own food so we have a meal picked out and desserts for after dinner. I have my dress, shoes, a hair clip, a hairstyle picked out, and I have some jewlery but I want to see it all with the dress before I choose which I like best. We have my wedding band ordered and it should have been here already so hopefully it will he here soon! We have a dj and mc booked, a photographer who has already done our engagement photos, a bakery picked out for the cake and cupcakes (still deciding on flavours and design), flowers for myself and the ladies, we have save the dates ordered that actually came in on thursday and then we are doing the same design for invites but not sure on all the details yet.. then we have the bridesmaids dresses ordered and should be here next month. I also have flower girl baskets, flower pedals for them, centerpiece idea, a seating chart idea but need to finalize my guest list, and I have table cards for the guest's names as well! I think that is everything for now

That's wonderful Melanie!! It's so cool that you two can share your passion together!!

I love all the colours on your motorcycle! They're so lively!
Are you planning to have your wedding in the Summer? When is the race season?

Hahahaha they all want the party and the family, but at the same time would be fun for them to contribute to this spirit Have you already talked about starting a family after your wedding?

That's great Melonie!! It must have been so hard for them to keep it a secret!

Are your parents married too?

You should have a look at Maly's discussion. She just posted a picture of her parents wedding:

Show off your parents wedding photo!!

It's so interesting how things change over the years yet nothing really changes. Weddings are all about love and family!

What have you planned so far for the wedding? Have you been looking at venues?

That's beautiful Chelsea!! I'm very happy for the two of you!!

Is you engagement very recent?

How are you wedding preparations going so far? What step are you at in your planning?

Wow! Congrats Valerie!!

I like the Art Deco idea!! Would you even go for something like a Gatsby theme?

10 ideas for a Gatsby themed wedding

Your already found your dress!! After being engaged for only 1 week and a half!! That's really impressive!

How does it look like?

My fiance proposed to me at the end of my race last month with the ring of my dreams

Now for us to wait for the 2017 race schedule to get posted so we can officially set a date.

Proposal

My mom helping with preperations? Hardly... Same with the in-law (in-law could careless with what we picked as long as we get married)... Though I've been with he guy for 7 years.

--- yet my mom always jokingly asks for grandchildren.

Thank you! It was very romantic and cute! Yes he had asked my parents, brother and some close friends for approval

Thank you! He brought me to Jackson Park (in the city I live) and we were just on a walk as we both enjoy walks and hikes and we got to this bridge with a gazebo over it beside some water and he just started talking about all these things he loves about me and got down on one knee! I was surprised but at the same time I wasn't! We had went out and looked at rings together and I gave him an idea of what i like so it was only a matter of time but I didn't know when it would happen so that was the surprise part as I had no idea he had even went out and got a ring!

We've only been engaged a week and a half, so pretty fresh still!
I think the wedding will have a little Art Deco theme. I already have my dress and it is inspired by that period.

Hey Valerie Welcome to the community!!

This is such a beautiful ring!! I love the design and definitely love the emerald!

Will your wedding also have vintage inspiration?

How long have you been engaged?

Hi Ginela

I'm glad to hear all the main thigns are done!! This must be such a relief!

What will your dress look like?

What decorations do you have left to find? Maybe we could help you with a few DIY ideas?

Hey Rosemarie

I think that's totally normal to be torn in between these two choices!! As most brides will remind in here (and me too), this is your big day so make sure it's what you want and not only what others want for you.

Is your mother helping you with the preparations?

Hi Stephanie Welcome to the community!!

Wow these are such beautiful pictures! Did you take them yourself?

I really like the lego ones! Are you both Start Wars fans?

How long have you been engaged?

Awww!! This is such a gorgeous proposal Melonie!! I'm so happy for you two!!

He really planned the whole thing so well! That must have been such a romantic weekend!!

Did your family know he was going to propose?

Awww! This is beautiful Chelsea!! Very happy for you two! Congrats!

How did he propose? Did you expect his proposal or was it a complete surprise?

That's such a cute picture! And what a gorgeous ring!

Art Deco is one of my favorite art periods so when my fiancé and I started talking about getting married I started looking up ideas.
We ended up picking out this vintage 1930's beauty with emeralds, which is my birthstone.
We wanted something we both liked and this was the one we both agreed on

We're together for 3 years now. Everything is almost done. Just waiting for my dress and my bridesmaids then we're set. And yeah still looking for good deals on decorations

That is a nice ring. How'd you get your dog to be so patient like that?

I love the purple!!! That's definitely unique.

We've been living together in Winnipeg for the past 3 years (I have been living here all my life).
And yes, we do plan on celebrating in Winnipeg!
Even though there has been some thought and consideration about having a destination onefor a more intimate ceremony. My mother wants extravagance, me? I'm tied between what's obtainable/realistic and the fantasy aspect of a winter wonderland.

My ring. Love it

Thank you!! I was surprised but knew it would happen at some point, he had been asking questions and dropping hints for about 4 months before haha he had taken me to breakfast were we had our first date and shopping at my fave stores as a "belated" birthday present as he had worked, then took me to a spa resort in Harrison hot springs, and fancy dinner, after dinner we went for a walk and he had a friend write "marry me" in candles then popped the question!

No this wasn't!! I bought myself that mug after we were engaged! After we called all of our family to tell them the news we made a fb announcement!

Hi Chelsea Welcome to the community!!

I love your ring!! You're right it's really beautiful and unique!

I love this picture you took! Is this the picture you used to announce your friends you got engaged?
