Ring of love

And we finally bought our wedding rings (^_^)

We we're both so happy that we were able to find the rings we both 'loved at first sight' and didn't cost a lot. Actually, we have been canvassing for wedding rings since February but then decided to wait some more time before buying. This very ring that we both loved last February is still the same ring that we found and bought now! And the cool thing is it is the last pair (^_^) Seems like it really waited for us, our destiny wedding rings. Hehehe!

So here's our wedding rings (^_^). We chose a simple design with two tone, white gold and yellow gold and something not too thick as both our fingers are thin.



The best thing is! It's looks very nice with my engagement ring (^_^) If I'm wearing them together in one finger it looks like it's only one ring.

Shop were we bought our wedding rings at Gold Souk Dubai
Mr. Raj who was the salesman who assisted us during our selection process was so kind and very accommodating enough to give our requests and of course gave us a very good price. We asked for it to be engraved and resized, and it was done perfectly within a few minutes. One tip: this shop is actually owned by the same person who owned the buildings where the other shops are renting, so their prices are little less expensive than the other shops.

Let's go for wine cork

wine cork table numbers
Finally our first ever wedding DIY, a do-it-yourself table numbers made out of wine corks.

Since our wedding theme comes with wine and tea elements, we have decided to create something unique and of course something that will not cost us much. And because Noel is working in a wine bar and have unlimited resources for wine corks, the creative light bulb came to work (^_^)

So here's the materials for making a wine cork table number:

corks, cartons, glue gun, cutter and ruler
lots of wine corks!!
Here's how to do it:

cut the cork in two with cutter
cut carton numbers then glue the corks in the pattern
Noel was so into making these table numbers that he did most of the cork cutting and pattern making. 

labor of love
so serious eh?
And my close friend Debby also came to help! (^_^)

chopping board and knife? why not!

my dear friend Debby

I'm very excited to see these table numbers in action! Happy wedding preps! (^_^)
