So it’s time to set up your wedding registry, very exciting! After you decide which stores you’re going to sign up with I definitely suggest putting together a mini game plan.

I keep reading about black diamond engagement rings. Although I think they are very unique looking, it’s hard to imagine getting a black engagement ring since sparkly clear diamonds have been the style since the beginning.

Being a big invitation fan, this idea is one of the most creative I’ve seen in a while. While it’s also one of the most expensive as well, I just love it. It’s a wedding invitation that’s a viewmaster (you remember those from when you were a kid, right) that has pictures of the couple’s [...]
