Diamond Engagement Rings

The Governor of Florida, USA is all set to get married to his fiancée on the 12th of December. They got engaged in July and their wedding is going to be one of the most looked forward to events in the state. Charlie Crist, the Governor, gave Carole Rome a fabulous sapphire and diamond engagement ring and their wedding is going to be a traditional one.

The wedding will be held in St. Petersburg at the First United Methodist Church and from all accounts, the bride is going to be wearing a traditional wedding dress. Crist will have his father, who is a physician as his best man while Carole will have her two daughters by her earlier marriage as her little bridesmaids.

She is 39 and he is 52 and she says that she could never have believed that she could be so happy. If everything else is traditional, we can safely presume that the wedding rings are going to be traditional too. All said and done, this wedding will elicit a lot of curiosity because it is so high profile.

Former Canadian President’s son, Ben Mulroney got married to his fiancé, Jessica Brownstein a few days ago. The wedding was held in Montreal, in St. Patrick’s Basilica and it was attended by the former Prime Minister and his wife. The wedding was an intimate affair for just family and a few close friends. The couples’ love story goes right back to their school days. They knew each other from those days and had always stayed friends.

Jessica Brownstein is a fashion designer from Montréal and Ben is the host of Canadian Idol. Apparently, the couple wrote their own vows and read them to each other. The priest conducted the wedding service but it was blessed by a rabi. After the service, Ben and his wife hurried off to get into a waiting limousine.

First there was the rumour that Katie Price and Peter were going to split, then now, here’s Katie showing off her huge diamond encrusted wedding ring to tell the world that all is right with her world.

Peter Andre came in to Los Angeles alone and maybe this is what sparked off the rumours. However, he seemed on top of the world as they strolled along the LA streets. Of course, the newspapers have been chasing him wanting to know whether the marriage is on or off and Peter Andre hasn’t said anything yet. This was especially so after having gone separately to two different parties a few days ago.

Could Katie drinking too much at times have anything to do with it? Peter definitely doesn’t like to see her in an inebriated state.

There are strange things that are found in strange places. In Staffordshire, when the Alton Towers Corkscrew Rollercoaster was being cleaned up prior to it being dismantled, there were a number of things that were found. Among them were a diamond wedding ring, a prosthetic leg and twelve St. Christopher crosses. The wedding ring and the crosses might not have caused much of a surprise but the leg definitely did and the park officials wonder how on earth someone could not have missed a leg!

The Corkscrew Rollercoaster is the oldest one in the park and its claim to fame in the years gone by was the fact that it was the first double loop roller coaster in Europe. It was set up in 1980 and it has taken over 40 million people for a ride. On November 9, the park will allow people to have one final ride on this famous rollercoaster before it becomes history.

In Portland, a woman and her husband went looking for a new car and finally found the one they wanted. When they traded in their old one for the new one at the auto dealer, little did she realise that her wedding ring was stashed away in the glove compartment of the old car.

It all began when a stone went missing from her wedding ring so she took it off and kept it in the glove compartment, then forgot that it was there. Imagine her joy when they got a call from the auto dealer saying that her ring had been found. An employee found it when he was cleaning out the old car.

What the woman found amazing was the fact that the person who found it was nice enough to give it back – he could so easily have pocketed it. The great thing was, the ring was found just before the couple could celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary.

The news is that Jessica Simpson and her boyfriend Tony Romo are going to be getting married soon. Sources say that there’s a winter wedding looming ahead. Are Jessica Simpson and her current beau going to be married soon? This will be her second time.

The couple has been together for a year. The Dallas Cowboy quarterback has had a great season this year and it looks like he’s going to top it all by walking down that aisle. The end of the year will see the National Football League coming to a close for the year as well as the Super Bowl season.

Now let’s look at what happened to start off these rumours. Apparently the couple were looking at diamond encrusted wedding rings in Dallas. Now why would they be doing that unless a wedding was imminent? Well, that seems to be a good enough reason for the strong rumours so we should, in all probability, be looking forward to a wedding.

Americans are very particular about their wedding rings when it comes to politicians. So it seems a bit surprising when Delaware Senator is seen around town without his wedding ring. Especially as he has been named the prospective vice-president for the Democratic Party. Somehow, most politicians have been very conservative when it comes to wedding bands – why, even Bill Clinton always had his on.

The question being asked now is, did he ever wear a wedding ring? Considering that he has just recently been pitch forked into the limelight after Barack Obama named him running mate, suddenly everything he does, says, wears and doesn’t wear seem to have become very much in focus. Never mind that he refers to his wife as ‘drop dead gorgeous’. One wonders if this will affect his campaign and whether America will accept a vice president who is different and doesn’t toe the line of political etiquette. Maybe he just feels uncomfortable wearing a ring. Whatever the reason, right now, it is a very talked about topic.

Ashley Cole’s wife, Cheryl was spotted with her wedding ring back on her finger and the last time she was seen to have it on was at least eight months ago. Cheryl Cole, who is acts in the X Factor, was said to be devastated to have caught Ashley and her hairdresser together. Now that was way back in January.

The Chelsea football player didn’t probably deserve to be forgiven by his lovely wife but things look like they have been sorted out. She was spotted with her wedding ring on again and with a smile on her face at the London Fashion Show as well as on the Jonathan Ross chatshow.

Cheryl admits to wanting to put that ring back in his head but she seems calmer and more accepting now. She also realises just how much under public scrutiny the lives of celebrities are. Every move is pounced upon and reported – whether rightly or as a matter of conjecture. She wishes that the public would stop expecting so much from their idols but would accept them as regular human beings.

In Orange County, California, there’s a novel scheme that is being put into operation. There’s a fundraising event that has been planned right through this month and it involves wedding rings. What the fundraising managers ask is that you donate your wedding ring if you’ve been divorced to this charity. The proceeds will go to drill twenty wells in Ghana to provide the people there with drinking water. To get to the water, the wells need to be dug deep and involve equipment and labour.

The With This Ring foundation was founded last year by Ali Eastburn when she sold her wedding ring and made the first donation. With so many high profile marriages and divorces in Orange County, it is to be hoped that break-ups will be a lot more than just fodder for the newspapers – and it will help fund this organization’s attempts at helping people who need it to live better lives. Ever since this organization has been founded, so many women have come forward with their wedding rings, enough for three deep wells to be sunk. What a wonderful way to make the bitterness of a divorce turn to charity!

In Porstmouth, Lisa was entering a building, fiddling with a stack of papers when she heard a sound on the pavement. Dismissing it as probably nothing, she went through her workday. It was only at night when she was getting ready to go to bed that she realised that both her diamond engagement ring and the wedding ring had fallen out of her necklace.Lisa had put on a bit of weight since having her children and she wore her rings around her neck. She had been meaning to get them resized but had just never got round to doing so. It really shook her up and she and her husband spent hours looking around on the street as well as in the office but there have been no sign of those two rings. Her wedding band was a band of white gold with princess cut baguettes in it. The engagement ring was a round ½ carat diamond in a 6-prong white gold setting.After so many stories this year of engagement rings being lost and then miraculously found again, we do hope Lisa finds hers too. She’s sentimental about those rings and she is hoping the person who found it is nice enough to return it.
