Hello! I'm considering buying an antique boat ring to use as my wedding band. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if either of these rings look good?

I have never bought antique jewelry before and I don't want to get scammed!

I believe the second one would match my lab grown engagement ring better, but it kinda seems like the sapphires are scratched or something!

Hello! I'm planning a Ren Faire themed bachelorette for my sister this summer, and I'm looking for ideas! We live in the middle of nowhere, so unfortunately we've never been/can't go to a Ren faire. If anyone has any ideas for decor, food, activities, I would love to hear them. We have an Airbnb booked for two nights. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone!

I'm having a backyard wedding (budget is 10k). I have never wanted a first look, I kind of thought it would take away from the magic of walking down the aisle. However, based on our wedding, it seems to make the most sense. We're getting married in my parents' yard, in a small town. There is literally nothing for people to do after the ceremony while we get pictures. I've seen many backyard brides say that they did first look, ceremony, right into reception, which is honestly the only way I can see it working. I'm just really sad that the first time my fiance sees me won't be when I walk down the aisle.

For those that had a first look, did it take away from the magic?
