Thirteen Years Later, Wedding Ring For Eamonn Holmes

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have finally got married, thirteen years after they first got together and an eight-year old son later. They’re both 50 and they’ve been partners in their TV show This Morning On Fridays for a long time. The wedding was attended by so many of their TV presenter friends in Hook at the beautiful Elvetham Hotel in Hampshire with its charming nineteenth-century décor.

Ruth’s dress was designed by Angelina Colarusso, the Italian designer and it was a matching gown and headdress affair. It was a warm, sunny day and everyone looked happy basking in the sunshine, especially the bride and groom. He even twittered about it, saying that Ruth’s beauty quite eclipsed the sun that day.

The only dark spot in that perfectly happy day was that Ruth’s father couldn’t give her away so his friend had to do it as her father has Alzheimer’s. It looked like they were perfectly happy to be living together without the benefit of the clergy so we wonder why he changed his mind. He says something happened when he turned fifty – maybe that half-century mark is a turning point. According to Ruth, they bicker a lot but are very happy together. She compares their life together to Richard Burton and Elizabeth Burton.

Who Will Design Sienna Miller’s Ring?

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

According to reports, Jude Law is talking to Sienna’s favourite jewellery designer – now who could that be? Stephen Webster, of course. We wonder what the celebrity designer is going to design for Sienna. Sienna and Jude have been back together for eight months now and their wedding plans are going strong. It looks like they will get married before summer is over.

Earlier, there were rumours that the wedding would be in the UK followed by a second wedding in the US but now it looks like there will be just the one private ceremony and it will probably be held in France. The couple is there with Jude’s parents who live there and there were looking for locations in the Loire Valley. It’s expected to be an intimate gathering – just close family and friends and with everything that’s happened, that seems best.

It looks like Jude’s kids will be a part of the wedding ceremony though that does not really seem to have gone down well with Sadie Frost, his ex-wife. It started when Sienna took Jude and Sadie’s daughter and had her long hair cut at a hairdresser’s. Sadie was hopping mad and now that the lids seem to be so much a part of the wedding preparations, she’s not too happy.

Wedding Ring For American Beauty Mena Suvari

Monday, June 28th, 2010

The American Beauty and the American Pie star Mena Suvari got married to her fiancé Simone Sestito in a private church ceremony in Italy on Saturday. They met three years ago at the Toronto Film Festival and they’ve been engaged for two years now. The wedding was held very close to Vatican City which is where the Sestito family live. Apparently Mena chose a wedding dress that covered her tattoos because she wanted the family to approve of how the wedding was conducted, especially considering that there are nuns in the family.

Mena Suvari has been modelling and acting since she was a child and while she made a name for herself in the TV serial America Pie, it was for the film American Beauty where she acted opposite Kevin Spacey that she was nominated for and won awards, including the BAFTA.Mena’s unusual name comes from an aunt and godmother who was named after the hotel which stands at the foot of the pyramids in Egypt.

Petite and blonde, she was married to Robert Brinkmann, eighteen years her senior but they got divorced in a few years ago. Sestito is six years younger than she is. She is said to have looked absolutely lovely at the wedding ceremony which was to be followed by a private reception close by. Mena’s next film is titled You May Not Kiss The Bride.

Miranda Kerr Looks At Churches Flashing Her Stunning New Diamond Engagement Ring

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

A few days ago, Orlando Boom’s brand new fiancée was spotted looking at different churches in Hollywood, no doubt for their wedding. No, Orlando wasn’t around but she was quite happy to be out and about with her mother and her little dog as they looked around to see which church would suit their wedding the best.

Of course, what people wanted to see was her ring. Apparently it was either platinum or white gold with a huge oval diamond. The diamond was said to be at least 3 or 4 carats. Now that’s a lot of diamond!

According to people who saw her, the Victoria’s Secret model was looking very happy and she proudly showed off her diamond ring. Orlando Bloom, the hunk of so many movies has been many a girl’s heartthrob and there must be a large number of women who are green with envy that she’s caught him. Now that she’s been spotted looking at churches, the question on everyone’s lips is when the wedding day is likely to be. Will it be soon? It looks like Miranda is in a hurry to have a wedding band join that dazzling engagement ring.

Beautiful, Unique Engagement Ring For Fairytale Royal Engagement

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

Prince Albert of Monaco and Charlene Wittstock from South Africa are engaged and everything about it spells royal pomp and fairytale splendour. Now she’s beautiful and everything a fairytale princess should be – well groomed, exquisite and dignified. And he of course, is royal.

The diamond engagement ring is one that is befitting to the situation and it has a huge centre stone, at least three carats surrounded by round diamonds. The centre stone is pear-shaped and the diamonds are set in gold that is greyish in colour. The ring is both beautiful and regal. It dazzled the sights of anyone who saw it. It was designed by Maison Repossi, French jewellers.

The Prince is at least twenty years older than Charlene who used to be a swimming star and apparently they are going to be married next year. Unlike recent celebrity weddings where few friends and simplicity have been the order of the day, this one will probably have all the stops pulled out when it comes to pomp and pageantry.

Couple wins 1.6 Carat Diamond Ring In Hunt

Friday, June 25th, 2010

As the first prize in a scavenger hunt, a diamond company called Rasmussen Diamonds in the US were giving away a huge diamond ring. Stacy and Adam, a young couple heard about it from her sister and decided to enter it on an impulse because they were familiar with the area and they rode their bikes around where the hunt was on every day. So they donned their yellow ‘hunt’ T-shirts and off they went.

The way the hunt was run, the actual diamond ring was not hidden anywhere because that would have left it open to getting stolen. Instead, the contestants were sent clues on their cell phones and they had to follow each clue to lead them to the next one. And imagine this couple’s surprise when their cell phone rang and they were told that they had won.

So are they going to get engaged right away? Many of the participants were hoping that the engagement would take place right there at the hunt but Adam wants it to be later and in a more private setting. They’re both thrilled of course that they won this ring and they still can’t get over the excitement. The sponsors of the hunt are very thrilled too at the response that this event generated and they hope to organise another one soon so a lot more people can participate. A cell-phone hunt like this one to keep up with the modern age.

Previous Owner’s Diamond Wedding Ring Found, Needs Owner

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

An emergency responder at Vancouver’s airport in Canada bought a house and moved in. It was while she was having the house redecorated and cleaned up that she found a diamond wedding ring fallen behind a shelf in the bathroom. All she could think of was how awful the owner of the ring must have felt, how she must have looked high and low for her wedding ring and how it was there all the time, under her nose but hidden from view.

The great thing is, she could manage to find out who had lived in the house before her. The sad thing is, she has not been able to locate the couple yet. All she knows is that their names are Nicola and Bruce White. She’s even gone and looked online but hasn’t been able to trace them yet.

The thing is, if she hadn’t changed the wallpaper and just had to take out the fitted shelves, she would not have found it either. She describes the ring as a beautiful diamond wedding ring with a classic design and hopes to reunite it with the owner soon.

America Ferrera And Her 4-Carat Rock At The Edinburgh Festival

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

Finally, the star of Ugly Betty, that popular TV serial and her long time partner, Ryan Piers Williams are engaged and she’s wearing a 4-carat diamond engagement ring as proof. It’s been years since the couple started first seeing each other and America was seen at the Edinburgh Festival where she had come for the movie the Illusionist of Scotland.

America has acted in a number of films but people will remember her the most for her role in Ugly Betty, the girl with the braces, glasses and a heart of gold. She’s won the Golden Globe, she’s won ten other awards and she’s had twenty-five nominations. That’s a lot for a 26-year old. Her film ‘Our Family Wedding’ is set to be released soon. Way back, when Ryan was still a student, he had her in his play when he was at the University of California. Since then, he’s gone on to become a great director and producer.

The diamond ring is huge and it’s a round cut stone set in platinum. It looks like America has dazzling days to look forward to in every way. In real life, the star is far from the famous character she plays in looks but it’s a character that somehow walked into the hearts of viewers and become someone who a lot of people identify with. In real life, the fairy tale ending is similar though as she finally wears the ring given to her by her long time love.

In Japan, Now It’s ‘I Do’ To Take Off The Wedding Ring

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

The divorce rates in Japan are rising and what couples are doing more and more as this happens is to celebrate the event. What’s even stranger is that they are doing it by saying ‘I do’. Does that mean ‘I do hereby divorce you’ or something like that? Well, it seems that the ceremony is catching on and it is being done by the couple that is splitting up in front of friends and families.

It all began about a year ago and it was started by an ex-salesman who started this in Tokyo. He set up this divorce mansion where couples who are divorcing can book the place and go through the ceremony. Some of them are done in a very grand style, almost like a wedding. However, this is held so that it signifies the end not the beginning of a relationship and it leaves both partners with a sense of closure, making it easier for them to start off their lives afresh.

So what happens at this ceremony? The couple arrives separately and they go through a ceremony where the wedding rings are smashed with a gavel. However, the gavel head is shaped like a frog which signifies change so when this is done, there is a finality about the divorce and the hope of a new life ahead. Or so they say. So it looks like what this ex-salesman started – being a divorce ceremony planner – is going to kick off in a big way in Japan and who knows, it might just spread to the rest of the world too. If in some way it means a positive end to marriage, it might be a good thing.

Royal Wedding Rings And A Modern Wedding

Monday, June 21st, 2010

The Crown Princess of Sweden and her Prince got married in a ceremony that was such a beautiful mix of the old and the new, the traditional and the modern. Stockholm was abuzz with guests for the wedding and news reporters from all over the world who were present at this royal show. It’s an event that has been awaited for months and it’s also because the groom is known to be a man of the people.

Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel are said to have started off the dancing at the reception with a perfectly practised and co-ordinated waltz and they were watched by dignitaries and royalty from all over the world. The King and Queen joined them too and it was all a very accomplished performance. If one were to hear said that they had been practising for weeks so that this would be a perfect evening, it would be believed. Everything went like clockwork and as the dancing progressed, the people watched with awe from the sidelines.

The keen interest in Sweden’s royal family is perhaps because of the fact that Princess Victoria is the Crown Princess and a woman in line to the throne. The Swedish royal family is said to be forward looking and modern and they blend the traditional with the modern very well indeed. Maybe that’s why no eyebrows were raised when a gay couple joined the dancers on the floor. They are the best example of royalty and an open-minded spirit going together. One wonders how smoothly other houses of royalty could have adjusted to the changing times too if they had taken a leaf out of this royal family’s book.

Rachel Bilson Spotted Without Engagement Ring

Sunday, June 20th, 2010

So is the star of The O.C.’s engagement off? She was spotted in LA a few days ago sans her engagement ring so the news is out that it’s splitsville for the star and her fiancé – now ex-fiancé, Hayden Christensen. Rachel Bilson who made her debut in the film The Last Kiss is better known for her role as Summer Roberts in the popular TV serial, The O.C. She has also starred in the film Jumper which is a sci-fi film.

It was on the sets of Jumper that Rachel met Hayden and they got engaged two years ago. Rachel had been going out with her co-star in The O.C., Adam Brody before that and they were an item for quite a while. They broke off and the following year, she met Hayden and they seem to have been very close these past couple of years. However, sources say that they are not sure how their relationship is working out so they have decided to take some time apart as they put it, in order to try and figure out what to do. So maybe it isn’t really totally off – the engagement we mean and maybe it’s just some time out. Till then, however, it looks like the engagement ring stays off Rachel’s finger.

Rachel has been known for her unique style and many designers have approached her to model their clothes. She has a bit of a Bohemian style about her and she always looks gorgeous.
