The web has everything. There is always something for someone, no matter how obscure. There are thousands of celebrity blogs, and diamond blogs and of course, engagement blogs. Because I mostly write about diamond and engagement news, especially beautiful diamond rings, I have been exposed to quite a few different engagement centered websites.
Yet, with all that there is out there, I came across a website that really stood out. An engagement site is not always resourceful, but that changed with Engagement Experts.com. A clear and user friendly website (because nothing worse than a cluttered layout, if you spent more than a few seconds looking for the search bar, its not well designed) that covers every single detail about an engagement, including ring ideas and of course, marriage proposal ideas :
Some helpful things listed to help the person proposing:
Surprise: Never underestimate the element of surprise.
Emotion: You’re creating a memory to last a lifetime.
Originality: Get creative!
Personalization: Meaningful for the both of you.
A video posted can help you see an example of this, and I must say, the proposal is adorable, emotional and extremely original, the guy even wrote her a song…just to play in the background!
Aside from some helpful how to’s, our curiosity is peaked and answered with some entertaining history about how the idea of an engagement ring tradition came about.
“To understand the tradition of wearing an engagement ring on the fourth finger of the left hand we looked at engagement ring history and found that it comes from the Romans. They believed that the vein that runs through that particular finger flowed directly to the heart. They called it the Vena Amoris or the vein of love….Who knew?”
I certainly did not, and that is seriously romantic, I would have never guessed the tradition reached that far into history!
One other aspect about the site Engagement Experts, is that they help not only couples who are getting engaged, by asking what goes in the mind of the male: What’s the difference between a diamond cut and a diamond shape?, What kind of engagement ring should I get? Where do I find it? The female: What kind of engagement rings are the celebs buying these days? How’s he going to do it? Will it be one of the best marriage proposals ever? But they also help and give some fabulous ideas for what you can buy a friend that just got engaged, all while breaking it all down:
Engagement Gift Ideas:
Many couples, especially those that are younger and starting out in life, appreciate practical gifts for their engagement and items that every new home would need. These may include: Small Appliances, Luggage,Household Items and Photo Albums
Wedding Related Engagement Gifts: Wedding
Planners, Name Change Kits, Spa Gift Certificates (Which can be used for a couples massage just prior to the wedding to relieve the tension and stress of the upcoming nuptials).
They have many many more categories, including information about engagement ring tradition , which is great if you’re on a budget, or if you want your gift to be unique and really standout. If you’re recently engaged or know someone who is, the information on the site is endless.
With all this talk of LeBron James having maybe proposed to his girlfriend, and imagining the ring, I got to thinking about other famous basketball players and diamonds. One of the most infamous rings ever given has to the Kobe Byant ring. We all remember how he was accused of rape, and then the women dropped the charges, etc. etc. Throughout the whole ordeal his wife, Vanessa Laine stood by his side.
