Hello! So I am in the United States, date isn't set yet, nor is the budget. However it will probably be between 1000-2000. There is also actually a good chance that I and my partner will make my dress. (Both very capable crafters and they have a long history sewing) However I don't have the language to explain what I'm looking for to either the sellers or to find potential patterns.

Claire's wedding dress from Outlander (as pictured above) is very very close to my dream dress. Does anyone know any simular dresses or how to explain said dress to find what I like for patterns or buying? (Also I am larger)

They loved it!!! (If you want to see the video DM me!) We went to a waterfall, I asked, and it was wonderful.

I ended up getting a secondary ring, with a small Moss Agate just to hold the custom ring in place and guard it. I offered to go and change the stone, but they refused. All in all we are so very happy.

(My hand is the one on top, theirs is the lower.)

I had a few family rings I could have chosen from, with diamonds and stones, but none of them super worked for my partners taste, and so I designed one and had it made.

​

My partner and I are both writers and have world built a species together over ten years, and these species have their own 'engagement' and 'wedding' customs. (Though the species wouldn't think of it in those terms.) As such I based the ring off of those.

​

It's stoneless, but the symbol in the center is the same mark our created species tattoos on their skin, in the location they first touch their partner which is generally the hand. We first touched when grabbing each other for a hug.

​

On either side are a fox and raven, which our created species worships. The Fox is the joys of life and the Raven is the sorrows, which I intend to be by their side for for the rest of our lives.

​

Along the sides are Rowan leaves, used often planted near doors to defend the home and family within. Also coincidentally what our species was made from, as humans were crafted from the earth in abrahamic holy text.

​

And on the inside, I have "Who'd have guessed?" written on the inside, as we met online when I was actively dying over a decade ago and look at us now.

​

I love them so, so much and I want this to be good for them. I want them to be happy, and to see how much I love them through this ring. But God am I nervous about there not being a stone! I just couldn't get one to fit right and get all that content in.

​

(Ring size 8½, white gold, stoneless)

Edit:

I didn't think this would get as much attention as it did! Thank you all so much for the kind words!!!! I think the idea for a stone being in the wedding band, or us picking out a stone ring together if they want after is the overall winner.

Which also might be good, because we're a queer (both afab) relationship, and I too would like a engament ring. Designing something together to go with the band would be lovely, and we could match! Which would be wonderful. I would love to have the symbol on my ring too

So! I came by a while ago asking after if a family ring I had would work for my partner as a engagement ring. But I decided it just wasn't right, and so designed a ring and had it made for them.
