Most couples that are engaged take a good amount of time to decide where they want to be married. Do they want to stay local or go to some exotic island? For those who have a small families or are planning on eloping, let me throw out an obscure location…The Grand Canyon! Let that sink in for a second. I visited the Grand Canyon this summer and actually witnessed a wedding taking place while at one of the viewing observations. The bride was in a wedding dress and everything! As they climbed down the mountain, I thought that if I was going to get married without worrying about a guest list, this would be a great place to tell family/friends/future children. Wouldn’t you like to say you slipped that wedding ring on her finger one of the greatest landscapes in America?

Applause for the Band…Wedding Band That Is
Interesting to read style journalists and bloggers writing about the popularity at the moment of sporting wedding bands sans the engagement ring. Be it the economy or understated fashion right now, some celebs and real women are going for this trend of simplicity. So, while diamond engagement rings are a timeless tradition, we thought we’d give some love to the band today. For anyone looking to emulate Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep, and leave the diamond at home at the moment, here are some ways to stylishly carry off the trend with beautifully designed bands. Because simple and understated does not ever have equal boring…

It’s OFFICIAL!! Derek Jeter ENGAGED to Minka Kelly!!
There have been many rumors circulating about Derek Jeter and his love life throughout his career. One of the rumors that just wouldn’t die was that his relationship with Minka Kelly was more serious than they let on. The talk about him giving her an engagement ring has been swirling since August ‘09. According the the New York Post, they have officially confirmed the rumors and have already set a date!! The famous Yankee’s shortstop would never jeopordize his availability to play in the World Series, so they have set the wedding to fall two days after the last game of the series would be played. November 5, 2010 is the fateful day when Jeter officially denounces his bachelorhood.
What a team player, to not let his personal life get in the way of another Yankee Series opportunity. I also think he is being hopeful of the fact they will not need all 7 games to win the series, otherwise his wedding will directly conflict with the parade. I’m sure the whole team will be invited to witness them exchanging wedding bands.
It has been revealed that the wedding will be held at the same castle in Long Island as Kevin Jonas has just had his wedding recently. I wonder if the venue will change now that is has leaked. Otherwise, they may have another Braniston wedding fiasco with helicopters hovering to get that million dollar shot.
The bride-to-be is the daughter of guitarist Rick Dufay of Aerosmith, and she is an actress for both TV and film. No diamond engagement ring pictures have surfaced yet, but I am sure she will start wearing it now that the cat is out of the bag. I wonder what designer engagement ring Derek chose for his lucky lady, was it a Ritani ring perhaps?

Kevin Jonas Tied the Knot this Snowy Weekend!
The eldest of the Jonas Brothers is the first to get married of the group. Kevin Jonas married his fianceé Danielle Delesea during the big storm this Saturday. The lovebirds held the wedding ceremony in Long Island, NY in a castle with 400 guests present. After Kevin gave Danielle an engagement ring over the summer they started to plan a fairy-tale forest themed wedding with 14 foot trees and crystal icicles. The weather only enhanced the theme by adding in the REAL snowy backdrop.
The grooms two brothers served as the best men whom held on to the wedding rings until it was time for the couple to say their vows. This new wedding band Kevin received is replacing a “purity” ring he had worn until then, where he had vowed to stay pure until marriage. While Danielle wore a silk and crystal flower in here hair as a reminder of how the two had first met in the Bahamas.
Kevin and Danielle have begun their “Happily Ever After” story, this is because Kevin has said to have found his “princess”. The two exchanged wedding bands they designed for each other along with the traditional wedding vows.

Jensen Ackles and Danneel Harris Announce their Engagement!
As a blogger I have regurgitated a number of Hollywood stories about engaged couples and the diamond engagement rings and wedding bands that they wear, and stories like this one although short and to the point, are nevertheless very exciting to blog enthusiasts.
Jensen and Ackles Engaged!
Jensen Ackles and his longtime girlfriend Danneel Harris are officially engaged, as her rep confirmed to JustJared. The 31-year-old Ackles perhaps best known for starring as Eric Brady in TV series Days of Our Lives, now stars in the CWs Supernatural. 30-year-old Harris stars as Rachel Gatina in The CWs One Tree Hill.
According to JustJared the two lovebirds have been dating for about three years but have been friends for nearly a decade and co-starred in the 2007 romantic comedy Ten Inch Hero. The couple made an appearance on Saturday November 7th watching the horses race at the Breeders Cup World Thoroughbred Championships at Santa Anita Park in Los Angeles, where Danneel got a chance to flash her diamond engagement ring.

No more Engagement Eings for Hollywood Actresses says Mickey Rourke!
Mickey Rourke
Wedding bands couldn’t keep them together, at least this is what Entertainment Daily is reporting.
Having made it through an emotionally scarring divorce from his marriage to Wild Orchid star Carre Otis, Mickey Rourke is calling it quits on getting involved with actresses from now on.
After he was arrested for spousal abuse in 1994 things went sour for the couple and although the charges against Rourke were dropped, as a result of a subsequent reconciliation, the pair however failed to patch things up and in 1998 a divorce was finalised. Time, as it would seem appropriate, had given him another chance to focus again on his acting career and not on engagement rings for a while!
Now as he is poised to co-star in a couple of up and coming films with Hollywood beauties Megan Fox and Eva Green, Rourke is saying he will not be “tempted to romance or live with another movie star actress no matter what they look like, saying, “I’m working opposite Megan Fox and Eva Green next, and I’m certainly not complaining. But I’ll tell you, once bitten…”

Tennis Star Mark Philippoussis Engaged to Actress Jennifer Esposito
Here is another pairing of an athlete and celebrity. Australian tennis star Mark Philippoussis has found his match with Hollywood actress Jennifer Esposito. Although it is just being released to the public now, apparently they have been engaged since the summer.
In the summer of 2007, Mark had appeared in the reality show ‘Age of Love’ where he had the choice of ladies in their 20’s and 40’s, to see where he would really find his true mate. He ended up choosing the 25 year old fianlist over the 48 year old. He reason for the younger choice was for the chance to start a family. Well, regardless of his choice the pair didn’t stay together for long.
That brings us to the present, the two met in the Hamptons and have been very happy together, says Marks representatives. This will be another attempt at marriage on both of their parts. Well, Jennifer was married for a brief 4 months to Bradley Cooper, and Mark has had multiple failed engagements. I really hope they have chosen the right person and it is a successful engagement that leads to exchanging wedding bands.
Good luck to this famous pair on attempting to have a happy married life together.

RITANI Will Take Care of the Wedding Bands, YOU Focus on the Wedding!
His and Her Designer Wedding Bands
Here’s the scenario, she finally gets the engagement ring that she always wanted– the right designer, the right diamond, right cut, right this, right that and right on down the line. life is good and the road to the alter is all down hill.
Preparations begin immediately– the wedding cake is on order, flowers arrangements and catering are being decided upon along with a whole host of other details and considerations all swirling and converging in what seems like a perfect storm of decisions and mind numbing-overwhelmingness! As the clock ticks and the deadlines approach a sick feeling that perhaps something was overlooked begins to creep in and so the notebooks and outlines fan out over the table once again and checklists get checked and rechecked. With relief and surprise all is on track and seemingly under control. The big day is a few months away and then a few weeks and then a few days and still everything is coming together nicely save for a hitch here and there. However, with the help of family and friends and the ever watchful eye of the wedding planner the storm relents and the sun begins to poke through.
The day finally comes and it seems like everything is in place. The details were all considered and accounted for except for two important little things, the wedding bands! Seems impossible doesn’t it, but creative genius prevails and substitutes, although slightly used and lack luster, provide a perfect subterfuge for the real thing. Disappointment is forgotten once the reception rolls on, but could this happen? It probably has happened and will likely probably happen again.
What if RITANI provided the wedding bands for free and no time was needed to spend on shopping around for bands? Could be a sweet surprise. This is what is being offered when you click here.
Have fun and announce your engagement to people who may not already know and get entered to win designer wedding bands only from RITANI.
