Nick & Allie’s Wedding ~ June 6, 2009

I had completely forgotten about this but have seen other blogs where brides do “the bling post” and thought I should show you our rings. Nick picked my ring out (with the help of his mom) and I must say, he did a great job. It’s gorgeous! You don’t see the wedding band in this picture, but it slides in the middle of the two bands and looks just like the other two bands with little pave diamonds all around. Its hard to tell from the picture but it is a brilliant cut pear shaped diamond. Its got an antique vibe to it and is very unique.  Love it!

And Nick’s ring is really unique as well. He wanted a tungsten carbide ring- which is an unbreakable steel, similar to titanium. The down-side of titanium is that it cannot be cut off in an emergency, but tungsten can be shattered and has the look of titanium. Tungsten carbide is four times harder than titanium, twice as hard as steel, and is virtually scratch resistant. He wanted some sort of design on the ring and was glad to find this celtic cross ring here.

I really love the idea of natural textures and materials used in our wedding. Take a look at these awesome wood elements….
