Sparkly 2.0


Lon and I checked off two more items on our list today - wedding bands and tuxes.

Choosing our wedding bands was my favorite part - clearly! Lon has always had his eye on rose gold, while I wanted the band that matched my ring. Until we got to the store!

We put the matching band next to my ring and it was sparkly! I liked it but there was some character lacking, it just seemed too perfect. Then I saw one similar to the one above. It has this great vintage feel and is so pretty and delicate! After we left the store, I kept thinking of how great it is and how it stood out next to my ring, while complimenting it so well. It also looked great alone!

Lon chose a rose gold milgrain band that will have to be special ordered - it's going to look great on him and I cant wait to see it. We'll have to go back and order it all in a few months so I'll post more pics later.

The tuxes: After an atrocious experience at another shop last week, we tried out the Men's Warehouse. Originally, I had hoped to purchase Lon's suit so we could get the tailored look that I love. Sadly, you cant rent suits and Lon would look strange in a suit standing next to his groomsmen in tuxes. On the bright side, I actually liked their selection of tuxes and was happy with our choices. We're hoping to have Lon in a Calvin Klein gray tux, while his groomsmen and our fathers are in black tuxes with dark gray vests and ties. Something like this for Lon....


Now all we have left is to select our flowers on Wednesday and secure a DJ (of the big ticket items that is).
