Simplicity - SOLD
Bling-mix: Turquoise teardrops
Bling "hardware": Decorative ear hooks are 925 silver
Dimensions: Total length is a little over 4cm
With the anniversary coming up really soon, I've been reminded of the frenzy of preparations for the celebrations.
Goodness, at that time, I was sooooo taken in with every itty-bitty detail and stressed myself out listening to everybody's aunt's cousin's third uncle's neighbour's comments ... and boy did everyone have an opinion ... hahahhaa!
If I could do it all over again, I'd keep it like this pair of ear-rings -- simple. Just beautiful turquoise drops hanging off fancy 925 silver ear-wires.
After all, the most important thing about a wedding is the commitment two people are making to each other, in the presence of those nearest and dearest.
Now, 10 years on, I wonder how many people really remember what our invitations looked like or whether the flowers were pink or white or what the fifth course was :)
What *I* remember most is the look on my sweetie's face when he saw me enter the church; the love that was reflected on the faces of relatives and friends; the thumping heart while vows were being exchanged .... the mutual respect & love that just grew and grew from that day on ....
If I could do it all over again, my motto would be: Keep it simple, don't sweat the small stuff :))

i just love your new stuff... absolutely gorgeous and oh so feminine!
*sigh* and all the talk about the wedding makes me remember mine. 2 years but feels so much longer. heh.
Thanks so much, Little Miss Bead-a-lot! You're very kind :D
I realise that I get a little loopy and mushy around the anniversary ... hahahahhahha!
I bet your wedding was wonderful and memorable too, but I do know what you mean about it seeming much longer.
LOTS happens after the actual ceremony, and you grow so much: as a couple, as a person and maybe in other ways too.
This is good advice for an about-to-be-married person. ;)
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY SIMONE AND EC =D
I remember the details quite well...... Pink was the colour - thats what the girls wore ;p
Hi Wildgoose! Congrats on the upcoming nuptials!!! Enjoy the prep -- it's fun, it's heady and sometimes it can get mad ... you'll have lots of funny stories to tell later :))
Congratulations for 10 love-filled years. Soon-to-be-marrieds forget the wedding ceremony is but just the one day. It's the life together that matters.
Thanks, SinLady! Yeah, I wish someone had given me that advice 10 years ago ... actually, I think they must have, but I refused to listen, choosing to focus on THE DRESS, THE FLOWERS, THE INVITATIONS, THE STRING QUARTET etc etc etc hahahhahahah!
Now i know better. And when I see couples like you and your sweetie, my cousin and her sweetie and silver haired couples holding hands, it reminds me of the importance (and the intense, deep fulfillment) of the life together AFTER the I Do's. :))
