I love that it's simple and historical. Is it absolutely necessary to have an engagement ring and wedding ring, or can I use it for both? My boyfriend think's it seems cheap, but I'm not a "bling" person and don't wear rings. I'm curious about your thoughts!

My pet peeve is online invitations. I know that we live in a social media world, where texts and emails exist, but when it comes to invites sent via Facebook or email (especially for a Wedding or formal event) I like to draw the line.

I know firsthand how the excitement can bring on nervousness, and the adrenaline kicks in, but it is important to still eat in order to get you nutrients and energy you need for such a long day!
