So I been dating my fiance for a super long time, and he proposed during our lucky year..2013..somehow lucky huh?.:), than we wanted to get married in 2014, than realized we just were not ready, and really wanted to get married in 2015, so since I was the one with all the free time, I started looking around for a venue, and making trips to my local Catholic church. Boy....we still have a lot to cover. and still need to buy our wedding bands....we are almost there, we found a great venue, and our family been very helpful.
So every June 12, marks our anniversary. I would of gotten married this day but since I decided to follow my grandmother wishes to get married in August, I booked a date in August, how can not listen to the one person who took care of me when I was little. I did this for her, but its working out better, gives us more time.
The one thing that we shared today, was picking up our marriage license.
This lovely floral summer dress. With a lace top.
I like the bottom of this dress.
Pink rose earrings.
My white Keds.
My rings.
Yes I have two engagement rings, and I feel so spoiled....but there is a story behind this. Before we were engaged, I alway told my fiance, I just love pearl rings..and rather have this as an engagement ring one day rather than diamond....I just don't want be like all the other fiances out there. I got my pearl ring on the day he proposed to me, to my surpise, I did not think he actually get me one, and he did! My mother at the time, gave a hard time dating him, and plus I am not a big fan of the guy asking for permission from the father first...I just don't like this because I can make my own decisions, why get permission, and he knew this about me. Also let just say it was overall complicated when dating him...it not him, it was gaining my mother approval. So it took me while to tell my parents I was engaged, and I showed them the ring, and my mother, along with the rest of family said you got to get a diamond ring, at least 1 carat....I was like really................I tried fighting it, but it was 10 against 2........he saw how much my family were pushing this request.....and he actually got me a diamond ring, but we were lucky to find someone who hooked up with a great deal..so happy. At first, I was afraid of getting diamond ring, afraid I like it more....and when I saw it, I was stunned by its beauty...I do like it more than my first, and it is prettier...I warmed up to it...and I told my fiance this with guilt, and he was totally okay with it. They both have their personalities, and I store them in a box together to make them get along....but I consider both rings as my engagement rings...the pearl ring represent the engagement between him and I, the diamond represents the engagement between our families.....I went through this whole Vietnamese Engagement Cermony just to get my diamond ring.They are both beautiful in their own way, and I love them both.
