My engagement ring came last week! I tried to take pictures, but my camera wouldn't focus right.

Here's what it looks like. )

Wow! What a beautiful ring! It's very unique, I like it a lot. As far as entrances go, I think you can do whatever format you want. We are going to have separate songs for all the entrances, but that is just a personal choice.

Thank you! "Unique" is exactly why I wanted it!

My mom told me that it's customary to have a separate song for the bride's entrance, just so that people can know when to stand up. Personally, I wouldn't mind if no one stood up... I'm rather short and they'll all have to look down at me! *grin*

Your ring is beautiful! We did one song for the attendants and then another when my husband and I were introduced. Our DJ was very helpful in figuring all of that out.

Thanks!

That sounds like a good idea. We're not having a DJ at the ceremony, so I'm taking all the advice I can get! :)

What a cool ring! We have one song for everyone else, and another for just me and my dad.

LOL we only just finally decided these yesterday... wedding is Saturday.

Processional (just dad and I): All You Need is Love by the Vienna Symphonic Orchestra Project
Signing: Guantanamera by Compay Segundo. (I know, weird. But we got engaged in Cuba and this was playing all the time when we were there, and it reminds us so much of Cuba and how this whole thing started!)
Recessional: All I Want is You by Barry Louis Polisar
