Dum Dum Da Dum

A friend of mine recently dumpstered a perfectly good copy of Martha Stewart Weddings, which when combined with the upcoming nuptials of my cousin led us to talking about our very hypothetical weddings (as girls sometimes do). While my friend said she wished to be the center of attention and wearing a fabulous princess-esque ball gown, I shocked her by letting her know I was more in the market for a t-shirt and skirt combo and I most definetly do not wish to be the center of attention but more perhaps just someone hanging out with friends that all of her friends want to talk to her and about things she likes. A nice t-shirt and skirt. I intend to throw my dress money into a fantastic pair of shoes. This little scenario just shows that my mother is right when she says she imagines me to have some nontraditional off kilter wedding. In my mind, this off kilter wedding goes as follows: the witnesses are two panthers and an eagle, I wear my skirt , tee and fab heels combo, and we get married in a donut shop which conveniently is the location of the reception. Anyways, the actual point of this post is to show you all the non traditional engagement ring I would like to request in some far off distant time from some far off distant dude. From CatBird, one of my most favorite boutiques in all of Williamsburg, crafted by Digby and Iona. How cute is this ring? You can have your initials engraved! It reminds me of Robin Hood, the Disney version where Maid Marion points out the R.H. and M.M. carved into a tree in her backyard. That movie also featured a stellar engagement ring made from a twisted water lily and firefly (can someone make this happen?) In any case I think this ring is much more unique and special than anything that is found in a traditional jewelery store. Plus you don't have to say you got it at the mall. So keep an eye out for my invitation in the far away and distant future and I promise to keep the panthers on a leash.
