Here's mine! It's a bit far away and blurry but it's the best picture I could take with a camera phone. I don't know how you all are getting such clear pictures, every time I try to take a pic, it gets blurry or reflects too much(though I guess I can hardly complain that it's too sparkly) What I'm thinking for a band is maybe just a plain thin white gold band, because the sides of my ring are kinda intricate. Or maybe something like this... Plus I love Na Hoku that sells this, unfortunately there is no stores in AZ, the closest ones are in California so I can't go try some on with my engagement ring

And I'm sorry if this is a thread somewhere else, I'm still getting the hang of navigating these forums.

Well, first I am almost positive that we will be getting married on the beach in California. The dresses I'm leaning towards are ones that are free flowing. My bridesmaid's dresses aren't going to be too formal either. My fiance has decided he wants to be in a tux. That said, I'm trying to figure out what we want for our wedding colors. I have fallen in love with plumeria wedding flower boutique's plumeria and orchid bouquets, so I would really like to get flowers from her, maybe with some pink and/or white and yellow plumerias and white orchids. So at first I was thinking our colors should just be black white and pink. But honestly I hate pink. Would it be weird to have our wedding colors be black, white, green, and pink? I'm thinking darker green, and the pink would just be little accents, like the flowers and on the cake. I know I'm rambling but I'm starting to feel overwhelmed and I haven't even decided the easiest things yet! Like who to ask as bridesmaids and where to have it. But that's a whole other story. Help! Any ideas appreciated.

Hey all I just have some questions. We just started our planning and trying to take it one small step at a time. We're planning on going out to California next month and looking at some possible venues. But before we do I want to have some idea of what we're looking for and what we need to do while we're out there. We wanna get married in southern california, preferably within driving distance of phoenix(so probably not any further than orange county), we love the idea of getting married right on the beach, myself barefoot in the sand, but I also would like to find a more private beach. We've been tossing around some idea's such as getting married at a resort that has a private beach. But I've been under the impression that there aren't too many of those in southern california. Not to mention the ridiculous prices at most places and we want to have an intimate feeling wedding. One idea we had was renting a vacation rental that could accommodate some of our family and we could have the reception there. Honestly I'm not even sure where to start. But I don't want to go out there and end up just driving around blinding trying to find someplace to look at.

My name is Katie, I just got engaged last monday to my wonderful fiance Matt:) We're just starting to plan our wedding which will be sometime next summer and we want to get married on the beach somewhere in Southern California. I'm trying to plan a small intimate wedding with a big family with four sets of parents(we both have divorced and remarried parents), family living all around the country, and my maid of honor in another state until next year. It's going to be interesting but fun seeing how this all works out! I'm open to all help I can get and that is why I am here.
