After months of planning (and maybe years of dreaming???) your summer wedding is just around the corner. The “big” items are checked off the list: wedding dress, ceremony and reception sites, flowers, photographer, cake, etc. A word to the wise bride: don’t leave the ultimate symbol of your marriage until the last minute.
No, I speak not of the sexy lingerie, nor the elaborate up-do, or even the bachelorette party. What you must not forget are your wedding bands.
You might select a diamond band to complement your engagement ring, but have you considered purchasing plain platinum or gold bands to exchange during your vows? This is a wonderful way to celebrate your love with a lasting memory of your wedding day for years to come.
Your wedding bands are important symbols of the commitment you make to each other, but who says you can’t have a little fun with the messaging inside? Many couples who come to Robbins Brothers request engraved messages for the inside of the rings. Here are suggestions (some simple, some a little cheeky) for your personal engravings:
- With Love, from the Mrs./With Love, from the Mr.
- Je t’aime (“I Love You” in French)
- XXOO (kisses & hugs)
- Your wedding date (7/7/12)
- I Am My Beloved’s (from Song of Solomon 7:10)
- Always & Forever
- Stud Muffin, pop tart, sweet baby and other corny nicknames
- It’s about time! (For the couple that dated for years and years, perhaps?)
- Amor Vincit Omnia (Latin “Love Conquers All”
- A Deal is a Deal
- A meaningful number, engraved in Roman numerals (Beyonce and Jay-Z share “IX” as their “number”)
- Put Me Back On (for the spouse with a sense of humor)
