When it comes to engagement and wedding rings, there’s a ton of buzz around the rock, but what about the metal?

If your day-to-day activities might put significant strain on your ring, metal durability and hardness should be high on your priority list.

Wedding hashtags have become a staple in today’s wedding world. It seems like a simple way for anyone who takes pictures during the event to categorize them so the bride and groom can easily find them later.

The problem is it's not easy to comb through every social media site searching for a wedding hashtag that may have been used improperly or forgotten altogether. However, there is an easier solution - wedding photo sharing apps!

When you first begin planning your wedding, it seems so far away. You peruse bridal magazines and blogs at your leisure, collecting ideas for your Pinterest board as your dream wedding begins to materialize.

The ring you not-so-subtly hinted about to your boyfriend has been running through your mind on an endless loop.

The moment of a marriage proposal is a blur, whether or not you are the one down on a knee or you are the one with a ring placed on your finger. No matter how much you want the moment to last forever, it goes by all too quickly.

As Jared would say, it's been a whirlwind of a year, hasn't it? As we reflect on all the great memories we’re so grateful to be a part of, our thoughts turn once again to last year at this time.

Our thoughts quickly turn to the fun we had in helping plan a holiday proposal in New York City last year, as part of our Perfect Proposal contest. We are in a bit of disbelief as we celebrate the one-year anniversary of Matt and Linda’s marriage proposal at the top of the Empire State Building.

You’ve heard it before. Bridal shows can be very overwhelming.
