Gowns!

Aint that a dream of a dress? Its about $165 inclusive of shipping, which is much cheaper than renting a dress here, and definitely cheaper than buying one in norway (apparently over there dresses cost over $1300, my god). Kinda worth it since i'll be wearing it thrice this year.


And if i had my way, thats probably what i'd love to wear. except i'm more secure with the first dress since it has straps, and i'll be able to actually eat and breathe in it Xd

and lastly, a necklace i got on ebay because i thought i'd be outbid (it was stinkingly cheap XD)

Wedding Bands


Well for most people who have a facebook account, people would know by now i'm engaged. And the plan is to get married in July. Why? A number of reasons, really.

First, we're been a couple for over 4 years, talked almost everyday for almost 5 years. Aaaand i'm not one to blurt mushy stuff in public, so i'll leave out the rest of that.

Second, if i intend to study in norway, the easiest way is to obtain a residence permit, and that in turn is obtained by marriage. benefits of this? if i dont get into a masters program a year later, at least i'll be able to legally work in between and stuff.

Third, i quote my mother : "if you're going to live there that long, its best to get married first"

Other fun quotes from parents... alex's dad : "i got married earlier." and something about getting presents now if we get married XD

So in sum, instead of marrying a few years later and having the whole big chinese wedding thing, i'll have an ROM now and the big thing much later when we're done with our education. Now on to the fun part- rings! Asking me its one of the bigger decisions since it will probably be used for the rest of our lives. Dresses and stuff... well those get used a few times but mostly get stuffed in a closet.


Option 1 ( -1 votes)
its the only rings here that aren't white gold, but they sure are very nice looking! These were actually found my Alex because of this $1250 ring i found that i liked alot but yeah, its $1250 for ONE ring. This find is the oldest ones i've kept on the 'to-be-considered' list because the more i look at it, the more i like them XD



Option 2 (1 vote)
white gold with some diamonds. Pretty cheap considering what they are at about $350 usd for a pair. It looked good at first, but the longer i look, naaaaaah.


Option 3: (-2 votes)
Again not too expensive considering its white gold + diamonds. Quite like the simple design ^^


Option 4: ( 3 votes)
These cost over $600 USD, but they look pretty damn good. I'm inclining to these because the matt surface would make scratches less obvious i think. thinking long term wear and tear XD Alex agreed they looked good too.


Option 5: (3 votes)
my grand finale! It doesnt come in a set but would match the one below! Sadly this ring alone costs almost $500 USD, but looks very similar to the first $1250 ring i liked. As much as i love this design, pushing the price aside, i'm guessing a polished surface = obvious scratchmarks after some time. plus i cant find a good match other than a plain band for my fiance. Other options that could have matched this ring would cost over $800usd and wayyy up.

So thats it, thats all the nice rings i've found so far! just wanted to list em out XD opinions are welcome XD
