    Engagements

    Category

    An engagement usually includes a ring. Your partner gets down on one knee and pops the question. A beautiful ring is placed on your finger and you’re over the moon with happiness. When the big day finally comes is the same ring used? If not what happens to the ring? What is the difference between the engagement and wedding ring?

    “It was our ninth anniversary and Andy told me to pack my bags for a surprise trip. I was ecstatic because I had a feeling we were going to Banff — a place I’ve always dreamed of visiting. I packed my bag and we headed to dinner. On the way, I remember saying that he’d lost his touch for surprises because I had already figured out where we were going — or so I thought! After dinner, we went back to our apartment and he suggested that we take some photos on our rooftop because the sunset was stunning. As the doors opened to the roof, I saw a beautiful arch in the corner paired with a perfect view of the city. The arch was made of fresh flowers and moss, and so it truly felt like a concrete jungle up there. I still had no clue as to what was going on! I thought Andy had just this set up for photos. Suddenly, I heard a drone buzzing above me. I looked up and it began descending towards us with a ring box attached to it. I was shocked! Andy grabbed the box, got down on his knee and asked me to marry him. I said yes! It was a beautiful moment and truly everything I could’ve asked for. Oh, and there was no surprise trip… THIS was the surprise! So, he definitely hasn’t lost his touch.” — @jlinhh #justsaidyes

    Timing

    One big difference between the two rings is the timing. The engagement ring is given when your partner proposes. The wedding ring is exchanged between the couple on their big day.

    “If you would’ve told me I was going to marry David, I probably would’ve laughed at you. We first met in college. We knew about one another (it was a small private college), but we both were in relationships at the time. I left that college after my first year there. Fast forward six years later and I get a private message on my Instagram (yes, he literally slid in my DM!) from David. At this point in my life, I was taking a much needed break from the dating seen. I had been single for over 2 years at this point, needless to say, I wasn’t paying any attention to men. But I thank God that I responded to his message. David wanted to hang out, but I didn’t want to take time out of my life to see him. So, I told him that I have a kickboxing class Tuesday night if he wants to hang out. Surprisingly, he showed up! After class we had a long and wonderful chat. From that night on, we spoke every day. There was something different about this guy.” Featured: @kimbsasser & @thedavidsasser

    Design

    Usually but not always its the design of the two rings that differs too. The engagement ring is meant to make a statement and have a massive wow factor. It is meant to be an indicator of your partners wealth. It typically has a large beautiful stone or consists of many small ones. With that being said this is by no means necessary. Many couples opt for simple rings and have no desire for elaborate expensive rings. The wedding ring is normally quite simple and plain. It is usually a lot cheaper as it’s not as elaborate as the engagement ring.

    Should you wear both rings at the same time, if you have both?

    Your engagement ring will be worn for the full duration of the engagement up until the big day. Many people wear both after the wedding day or opt for only one. This is why the rings are generally purchased as a set. When buying both rings together as a set they match. This means that after the wedding you can wear both rings with ease.


    Problems occur when the rings don’t match. It often looks odd or don’t fit together on the same finger and can become uncomfortable. It can be quite difficult to find two different rings that match when worn together.


    The rings are worn on the fourth finger on the left hand. The vein in the ring finger is believed to be closest to your heart. It is called the vena amoris which means the vein of love.

    If you want to experience a different life from your everyday, immerse yourself and learn about other cultures, then these are the honeymoon destinations for you.

    Singapore

    Where East meets West – Singapore is a fusion of Asian, European and Middle Eastern cultures. With many different religions existing harmoniously, Singapore sees its diversity as a strength, and you will see it too.

    Sri Mariamman Temple

    Cambodia

    Filled with ancient temples, rice paddies and a surprisingly sophisticated urban scene, Cambodia is where ancient and modern worlds collide.

    Angkor Wat

    Brazil

    Brazil has a colourful culture with countless festivals across the country that celebrate its diversity, the most famous being the Carnaval. Music is a large part of Brazilian culture as it allows the people to express their joy of life.

    Carnival of Brazil

    Greece

    Known as the birthplace of Western culture and democracy as Greek beliefs in democratic governments and equality influenced our modern democracies. Besides that, Greece is flush with ancient ruins, festivals and holidays.

    Meteora

    Turkey

    Thanks to the multi-ethnic and religious Ottoman empire, traditions of Mediterranean and Central Asian cultures were brought together. Turkey is also home to world-famous ruins and monuments.

    Ephesus

    Morocco 

    Having ties to Africa, Europe and the Middle East, Morocco has done very well in taking the best traditions and making them new. You will be able to see the cultural diversity in the many different architectural wonders.

    For those that can ski or want to learn, a ski trip is arguably one of the best holidays one can take. Your days are filled with fun activity and at night you can do as you please – go for a nice meal, relax and get cosy.

    If this sounds like something you’d be interested in to do on your honeymoon, take a look at these great ski destinations:

    Canada

    If you’re looking for spectacular terrain, wide and quiet slopes and knee deep powder, then Canada is the place for you.

    USA

    The US is known for world class skiing as the large variety of resorts means you can find whatever you’re looking for, as well as pistes for every level of skiing.

    France

    France is the most popular skiing destination in Europe due to its high altitudes and, as a result, reliable conditions.

    Switzerland

    Filled with classic ski towns, high altitudes and great snow records. The only downside is the cost as Switzerland is the most expensive skiing destination in Europe.

    Austria

    Home of Après-ski: a fun and cheaper European ski holiday, as well as tree-lined slopes and the best ski lift systems. The lower altitudes mean less snow but this is combatted with snowmaking.

    Japan

    With consistent light powdered snow, uncrowded slopes and beautiful mountain vistas, it’s understandable that Japan has some of the best ski resorts in the world.

    Proposing is a special and memorable event, but it doesn’t have to be over the top to make an impact.

    Here are some unique and simple ways to propose that won’t leave you planning for days, cause you stress and will ensure an instant ‘yes!’

    1. Include your fur-baby

    If you share a pet, a great way to pop the question is to include them in the proposal.

    2. Photo booth proposal

    A fun way to propose that will also capture the moment.

    3. Scrabble Tiles

    Suggest a game of scrabble and use your tiles to spell out the proposal.

    4. Incorporate food

    Who wouldn’t want to be proposed to and get some yummy food at the same time?

    5. Photo album

    Create a photo album filled with memories and on the last page, ask your partner to marry you.

    Traditionally, it has always been that the man proposes to the woman. But in this day and age where gender roles are changing and same-sex relationships are legal and accepted, more and more women are bending the knee.

    Just do it

    Whether you’re a woman in a same-sex relationship or a straight relationship, you should disregard what is traditionally accepted and be able to propose to your partner. If you feel the time is right and that you and your partner are in a place to get married, there is no need to wait for them to propose; you can ask them to marry you.

    The moment

    The proposal should go the same as any traditional proposal in the sense that you plan the proposal. Look at creating a special moment that will become a beautiful memory in your relationship.

    A symbol of love

    If you are a woman proposing to a woman, then it is likely that you will present an engagement ring. If you’re a woman proposing to a man, you should consider presenting some sort of gift that they can keep forever and has sentiment to it. A great proposal gift for a man is a watch, and a great addition to that would be to get it engraved.

    Despite the fact that a woman proposing is not the norm, it certainly should be. With the dismantling of gender roles, leaving proposals solely up to men should be dismantled too.

    At the end of the day, it is a decision to get married and it should not matter who asked whom.

    Feeling your absolute best on your wedding day is non-negotiable. We asked Loredana Loots, an integrative nutrition and holistic health coach, for her advice on what to eat before and on your wedding day:

    “With only a few days to go and a whirlwind of emotions, arrangements and final prep, you may (understandably) not give much thought about what you are eating and drinking. What you consume actually has a major impact on how feel – physically, mentally and emotionally. Every couple deserves to look and feel like a million bucks on their special day. These handy food secrets are a must!

    Plan in advance

    Shop, prepare and store meals for the days leading up to the wedding to make sure you are not left feeling overwhelmed or forced to reach for greasy and sugary foods.

    Squeeze the day

    Energise your mornings with a glass of warm water and the juice of half a lemon. Add fresh or dried ginger for an extra kick. This boosts your immune system, aids digestion and naturally detoxes the body.

    Prevent added nerves, excessive sweating and dehydration

    Don’t overdo the caffeine – stick to 1-2 cups of coffee in the morning only. Avoid energy drinks completely, and stay hydrated with classic h2o and herbal teas. Brazil nuts, salmon, dark chocolate, oatmeal, eggs and leafy greens are known to induce a calming effect as well.

    Beauty starts from within

    For gorgeous hair, clear skin and a natural, camera-ready glow, incorporate more friendly fats such as walnuts, chia seeds, avocados, fatty fish and virgin olive oil into your diet well in advance.

    Boost your collagen by incorporating more foods with vitamin C (grapefruit, lemons, peppers, guavas, green veg) and protein-rich foods (eggs, fish, organic meat, nuts and seeds), and up your antioxidant intake with berries, leafy greens, beetroot, green and rooibos teas and turmeric.

    Avoid these:

    Soda and fizzy drinks, dairy, beans, excess caffeine and alcohol can all cause gas, nausea and bloating. Cruciferous veggies like broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cabbage and cauliflower, and foods containing wheat often lead to bloating too.

    Sugar, deep-fried and processed foods can lead to inflammation and fatigue. This will affect your overall mood and wellbeing, so avoid these as well.

    Instead, incorportae these foods into your diet if you want to avoid bloating and nausea:

    Asparagus, papaya, lemon, mint, ginger, cucumber, celery, brown rice, rolled oats, quinoa, grilled or steamed chicken and fish. Drink lots of water (but avoid sparkling) and herbal teas like peppermint and chamomile. Eat cooked instead of raw veggies for easier digestion, and take a good probiotic daily for extra gut support.

    Steer clear of any new, exotic or spicy foods- it may lead to indigestion, heartburn or an allergic reaction. Stick with what you know.

    ON THE DAY

    It is often one hectic marathon on the day of the wedding and you may not even get a chance to think about eating. However, breakfast is extremely important. This will give you the energy to meet and greet, avoid fatigue and stay cool, calm and collected for most of the day. Opt for something along the lines of: Oatmeal topped with fruit and nuts, eggs with sautéd veggies and avo, or a smoothie consisting of oats, banana/berries, almond milk, spinach, chia seeds and protein powder.

    It is important to stay well-hydrated as well, but rather sip on a little water at a time to avoid bloating and the constant need to run to the bathroom. Furthermore, ask your bride tribe to arrange a light lunch or to keep some snacks (such as nuts, biltong and salad bites) on hand for just before the ceremony and pre-reception.

    With the right fuel, you will look and feel your absolute best, with the energy, glow and confidence to enjoy every single precious moment of your big day!”

    Planning the perfect proposal is nerve-wracking, exciting and maybe even a little overwhelming, all bundled up neatly into one big knot in your stomach. Throw in an unfamiliar destination, and that knot gets a little bigger. But don’t fear, we’ve got the fool-proof guide to making it go as smoothly as possible:

    Do your research beforehand

    By planning ahead, you’ll take a little pressure off yourself as well as have more peace of mind about how it’s all going to play out. Have a plan of where, how and when you’d like to pop the question, but don’t expect it to work out exactly as you see it in your head. When the moment is right, you’ll know, but also don’t be too stressed about changing it up in case of unforeseenable elements, like the weather.

    That said, make sure you’re aware of what’s happeing in the area you’re planning to propose in, especially if you’ve never been there. Do a little internet search beforhand to see if any events are happening, if the area is a sacred place perhaps, or if  any of the areas are restricted. It will also be handy to look at popular scenic locations, or romantic spots that other people have popped the question at for some inspiration.

    Communicate with your hotel

    …or resort, B&B, or wherever you’re planning on staying. Even if you’re not planning to propose at the place you’re staying at, they’ll most likely make some extra effort to make it romantic for you if they know what your plans are. Some places even organise some complimentary champagne, a romantic dinner, or some rose petals in your room for after you’ve popped the question.

    Insure the ring

    Before you even leave for your getaway, make sure the ring is insured. Things happen, but if you’re planning to propose while away, it’s the last thing you’d want to worry about. Get the ring insured for in case a stone pops out, or heaven forbid, it gets misplaced or stolen. It’s the responsible thing to do anyway, plus it will put your mind at ease.

    Hide the ring, safely

    Packing is stressful enough as it is, or at least for some. But making sure the ring stays safely hidden from your fiance-to-be’s eyes is extra daunting. If you don’t want to worry about it falling out of your pocket, or your partner accidentally seeing it in your bag, pack it in your check-in luggage. However, if you’re scared of your luggage getting lost or delayed (because yes, these things happen), keep it safely stashed in your carry-on. Rather safe than sorry, right?

    Furthermore, if you’re worried about it being discovered at customs, it’s a good idea to place the ring box inside a bigger, nondescript box with a note inside to give the inspector or security guard a quick heads up in case they have to take a closer look.

    Don’t wait until the last minute to propose

    You want to wait for that perfect moment, but don’t wait until the last day of the trip. Nerves might not be your best friend, so your partner might notice that you’re acting a little differently. A little anticipation is good, especially if your partner is kind of expecting it, but if you propose earlier on, you’ll have more time to celebrate it in a special place.

    Don’t overthink it

    Sometimes it’s best to just go with your gut. If the moment feels right, go for it, even if it doesn’t go with your plans. Being spontaneous and it being unexpected sometimes makes the moment that much more special.

    Image: Unsplash

    When dating someone it’s normal to imagine a future with your partner and marriage may cross your mind. One of the biggest questions is “How long do you wait until you propose?” When is it seen as normal or acceptable. When do you know that someone is that special one.

    Well for some celeb couples, time is non-existent in the eyes of love. Have a look at these celebs that just knew they had found the one, maybe a little bit too soon.

    Your nails may seem insignificant compared to your wedding dress but they still need to stand out. Your hands will be on show, from guests wanting to have a look at the shiny new rock to the photographer capturing different angles of it.

    Nail designs have come along way in the last few years. From single to multi-colours, various finishes and nail art, some brides opt for the classic French tip look but you don’t have to stick to the norm.

    Simple with a twist
    If you want to maintain a simple look, what about a neutral colour with a touch of nail art? It still looks elegant but includes a fun element.


    Don’t be scared of length
    Long claw-like nails are in and look great. If you’re unsure on what shape to get, ask your nail technician to shape the nails according to your hands.

    Glitter for days
    Looking for more of a sparkle for your wedding claws. You can get glitter on one nail or a few, a strip of shine or go for a glitter ombre technique.


    Have fun with finishings 
    If you’re not one to experiment with colour, how about changing the finishings. Try a matte, metallic, sheer, textured or pearl finish. Make sure to ask your nail salon what they offer because a lot of the time it’s not on display.


    Artsy nails
    Wanting to showcase the creative side? Add some nail art or pattern on your nuptial nails.

    Special tips
    How about plain nails with a funky tip. Opt for various patterns, colours or (don’t forget the) finishes.

    Don’t be afraid to mix and match, there is really no reason to play by the rules.
