Karat = fineness of gold.

It can all be a little confusing so I've created an infographic to explain everything. Now you'll be able to speak "engagement ring" like a pro!

I will never forget the day Glen and I started looking for engagement rings. We went to the mall, knowing absolutely nothing about rings.

What is your favourite cake flavour? When it comes to wedding cakes, I say: the simpler, the better! Always prioritize flavour over aesthetic, because a cake is made to be eaten, after all. You will never find me saying "no" to chocolate cake and red velvet is a close second :)

Being a bridesmaid is fun 💁🏻‍♀️ My number one bridesmaid tip: Remember that it’s not about you. Don’t like the dress your bestie picked out for you? Wear it anyway.
