whoops - if anyone should be starting one, it should be YOU! (BTW I totally understand your grandpa + the whole sharks fin thing). Can't wait until you get your e-ring and get engaged!! I am sooo not into this whole wedding planning business lol. skphotoimages is lucky that she knows about the whole business. I know virtually nothing and don't even know where to begin! I think all I'm going to do is book a date and the restaurant and see where it all goes from there. . .

The bf said that if we aren't having a destination wedding lets just do it in August when it's nicer outside for weather.... in 6 months!!!! :faint:

The wonderful thing about a chinese wedding banquet is that it's pretty simple because no decorations, people don't really use seat covers or all that other stuff like center pieces and such that adds up so easy (ex: $4 chair covers times 100 guests is already $400!). Just find a good place to do it at. And a lot of the chinese restaurants that don't cater really to chinese mainly end up having really nice decor and table set ups anyways! Not sure if you've been to these places in the bay area but Yank Sing at Rincon, Koi Palace and Dynasty in Cuppertino are really good examples of this. But then for a reception like this, you almost HAVE to have a qipau at some point to appease the in-laws. But you can always get a white sequin modern one which look amazing! And most chinese families rarely go to the actual ceremony so you can keep that really simple at city hall or something. then you'll be done!

also, have you seen these wedding bands:

I'm not sure how set you are on platinum but the YG eternity would look really nice with your ering

Beril - lol, you're so cute. I'm sorry! It's all my fault! hehe :p

whoops - 6 months sounds very . . . soon!!! Wow, you better start planning now! haha. Yeah, I agree that the banquet route is very easy to go. I live pretty close to the SGV which is where the new Chinatown is - much like Cupertino in norcal. And the food here is GOOD. My gf who lives in the bay complains that we have the best Chinese food outside of China/Taiwan haha!

Those bands are beautiful - and so reasonably priced!!! But part of me still wants Tiffany LOL. I guess I want it to be all a set - my e-ring, my fiance's wband and (hopefully) my wband!

Thank you alice87!! :flowers:

LOL that's so weird - I could totally tell it was a little girl dressed up in adult clothing (just look at her tiny feet in those heels!)! But for a while I *did* think DD was Asian (or mixed). . .hahahaha.

Beautiful ring! I tried it in person a few weeks ago and fell in love! Here's a question though, I've seen the pictures of both the yellow and white sola. How do you know which one is best for you? I love how different a yellow diamond looks, so how did you decide on the yellow? Or better yet how can I decide!! :)

LOL, well, for me, it was an easy choice because I originally wanted a gemstone e-ring; specifically the gemstone legacies. I love the color and saturation of gemstones (rich blue sapphire, vibrant red ruby/spinal, luxurious green emerald/tourmaline).

My DF, on the other hand, thinks e-rings MUST be diamonds (he's bought into the whole de beers campaign) so he insisted that we stick with diamonds. I love the fire and scintillation of diamonds (which gemstones lack), so I couldn't complain! When we saw the yellow diamond collection at Tiffany, it was like the whole world came together because it's getting the best of both worlds - the sparkle of diamonds with the color of gemstones!! The price wasn't bad either, so we jumped on it!

Even though I was tempted by the colorless diamond soleste, I felt the center diamond got "lost" in the halo. I liked how the halos accentuated vs. hid the yellow diamond center, making the color really pop!

Hope this helps your decision making ;)

When I was looking for a new setting I almost went with a threestone that had sapphire sides. And at the jeweler dude's he has one with a sapphire halo that I love, though it's a bit too paved otherwise for my lifestyle. But now I wish I'd gotten that...
