#cynjonbigday wedding bands by Eclarity (Part 2)

Going to collect the wedding bands later!

Looking forward!

Its a combination of all the above.

The design sesh took place in march!

Heres the sketch.

1st sketch of the back!

1st round of 3D, had many amendments.

This is the 2nd round of 3D, which came in April.

Very close to what we want, just the dimensions is off. The white gold band should be thicker. And the milgraine sld be white gold, not rose gold.

So amazed that all we like is combined into 1! The side milgraine, the middle texture, my yellow diamond and his white diamond, the trio/trilogy concept.

This came in on July.

"Ton amour est aussi précieux que l’or."

Sadly, we are not bringing the rings home today, because i wanted the milgraine details to be in white gold not rose gold. So they are going to replate it. I was thinking if i sld b particular abt it since it looks nice like that, but not gg to compromise. Hahah!

Top view (:

Can you see the leafy texture? It starts where the alternating diamond ends.

When worn!

Thats how i envision myself to wear the rings. The promise ring, the engagement ring and the wedding band.

Side details when worn. 

I love the side of my engagement ring, was telling the man, the diamond tip must sit nicely without ANY gaps. Zero. None. Zilch. The designer had a hard time making it happen i heard. Hahah.

Together!

Dunoe how to pose. Stiff fingers. Hahah.

Last one!

Notice the gap? Have to remove the engagement ring side diamond to prevent it, should i???

Looking forward to part 3!!! :D

Just went to polish the ring and started the search on our bands. Our hearts are more or less sold to the cartier trinity ring because it represents the past, present and future.

A simple band means its continuity. A twisted rope design means an enduring life together. So i dont get why some will choose the tacky criss cross, twist band kinda design, which i feel looks just like costume jewellery. Maybe they have their own meaning which i dont know la.

So after seeing that ring, i was sold!!

Yes, its not a cartier...

But its 3 bands joined together, inseparable. Still represents the past, present and future.

And we can choose the material, diamond, finishing, side design, carvings, engravings, filigree we love!

Yay! It was all settled today.

I love how our side designs are different but looks the same on top. And how one side is what he wants and one side is what i want. And and not forgetting my yellow diamonds.

Plus its quite cool ah..like some magician ring.

Please forgive me if you have seen it somewhere before. Its my 1st time and i am highly amazed! Hahahah.

Yay! 1 item down.

When God Made You

"When God Made You"

(with Natalie Grant)

It's always been a mystery to me

How two hearts can come together

And love can last forever

But now that I have found you, I believe

That a miracle has come

When God sends the perfect one

Now gone are all my questions about why

And I've never been so sure of anything in my life

[Chorus:]

I wonder what God was thinking

When He created you

I wonder if He knew everything I would need

Because He made all my dreams come true

When God made you

He must have been thinking about me

I promise that wherever you may go

Wherever life may lead you

With all my heart I'll be there too

From this moment on I want you to know

I'll let nothing come between us

And I will love the ones you love

[Bridge:]

He made the sun He made the moon

To harmonize in perfect tune

One Can't move without the other

They just have to be together

And that is why I know it's true

You're for me and I'm for you

'Cause my world just Can't be right

Without you in my life

[Tag chorus:]

He must have heard every prayer I've been praying

Yes He knew everything I would need

When God made you

When dreams come true

When God made you

He must have been thinking about me

I Found You - Aaron and Andrew

Through this window 

Everything seems new 

The worlds not changing 

It's just my view 

Spent so much time looking 

For what I though was right for me 

But it's only when I gave up 

That I got what I really need 

But I know 

It's true 

You're the everything 

I was missing 

The perfect part of me 

That I really need 

All I've known is new 

Because

I found you 

Anticipation. Is something new 

When you never had someone 

To look forward to I though I knew who I was 

And who I wanted to be 

But my mind just kept wandering 

Waiting to let me see 

 

And I know 

It's true 

And I know 

It's true 

You're the everything I was missing 

The perfect part of me 

That I really need

All I've known is new 

 

Because 

I found you 

All the things I thought I knew 

Everything I thought was true 

Changed the day my eyes saw you 

They saw you 

You're the everything 

I was missing 

The perfect part of me 

That I really need 

All I've known is new 

Because 

I found you

What to ask your Actual Day Photographer?

Meetups with photographers is essential before signing and placing the deposit to secure the date. It might be quite a tiring process, but it will be worthwhile!

We have met PGs which we like their style and photos but didnt quite click with them.

So here goes:

1. Summarise your schedule for the whole day
Gatecrash > first look > tea ceremony his house > entourage photo > tea ceremony her house > rest > venue shots > solemnization > dinner > send off

A PG restricted our plans, they said we sld keep gatecrash to 30mins, prep sldnt be done 1 day before, games to be more fun less quiz and have it at a bright place. If the place is not bright, they will recommend and change on the spot. No go for me, you dont change place on the actual day bcox i only have 1 place for gatecrash and i need to prep 1 day before, i m fussy abt plating.

They should think of a place to shoot the entourage photo.

2. Is xx number of hours enough, if not topup per hour is?
Some PGs waive the additional hours, they are flexible and understanding. Of cox, some are calculative.
3. Do you have transport for the day?
4. Do you need us to cater food for you?
5. Do you need a resting space during the break?

6. How many photos do you take in total? Will you show us all the shots?
7. How many photos are usable, good shots?
8. How many photos will you edit?
9. How many photos will you give us?

On average, please have at least 500 photos, anything less is just lacking. If you dont have gatecrash, PGs should replace with something else like reception shots?

10. From the photos, do you see multi shots? Like 1 moment but 10 simultaneous shots, for veiling they will. But if gatecrash, they do that, DONT use them. Gatecrash is an explosion of moments/emotions/expressions, simultaneous shots translate into them not being confident of getting the shot. And if you have 500 photo but all simultaneous 10 shot = 50 moments......wth!

11. From the photos, tea ceremony, how many angles do they take from? 3 or more is what we are looking for, please make space for them. They can go left, right, behind you, behind your parents, bottom and top.

12. From the photos, solemnization, how many angles do they take from? 4 or more is what you should see during vows time, groom, bride, parents, both of you, solemniser. Those dead 2 angle one = lazy PGs.

13. From the photos, do you like their editing style and colours? I like portrait shots, hate landscape. I like half body shots not face closeup shots. I like warm colors, not white white kind. I like sun flares, no dark dark b&w artistic kind. I like photos which you can see ppl face, not wide lens and i cant even see everyone expression.

14. From the photos, do you use flash during the banquet? LED spotlight is the next IN thing, less harsh than flash.

15. Do you re enact scenes? Yes...reject.

16. Will you prompt us to do things? No...reject. Yes..they will ask your parents to recall a nice memory or say smth nice during the veiling. They will find the best light, part of the room for the different scenes.

17. Are you ok with relatives, family members pulling you aside for a photo?

18. Are you ok with taking group shots? Journalistic or more cinematography, might not. If the pose very dead, like class photo, please ah, reject.

19. If wardrobe malfunction, will you alert us?

20. Any videographers you cant work with?

21. If after receiving the photos, some moments are missing and we are not satisfied with the photos? Is there any form of service recovery?
Some might reject and say, no such thing will happen. Some might say, theres nth we can do its over. This two, reject!

22. Are you comfortable with us? Do you see yourself being our PG?
I dont want them to do it because we r paying them. You are spending 10 hrs with them, pls get someone you like. They are often the one leading the itinerary and day.

23. If smth happen to you on that day and you are unable to show up, will you replace with another PG or refund us and we find another one?

24. Is this the lowest price? Can you give me last year pricing if I pay within 1 week?
Just try your luck la.

25. What are your payment modes?

26. How long before we get back the photos?

That should be all, will add more if i can recall! Thank god, my search is over! (:

All of the stars

It's just another night
And I'm staring at the moon
I saw a shooting star
And thought of you
I sang a lullaby
By the waterside and knew
If you were here,
I'd sing to you
You're on the other side
As the skyline splits in two
I'm miles away from seeing you
I can see the stars
From America
I wonder, do you see them, too?

So open your eyes and see
The way our horizons meet
And all of the lights will lead
Into the night with me
And I know these scars will bleed
But both of our hearts believe
All of these stars will guide us home

I can hear your heart
On the radio beat
They're playing 'Chasing Cars'
And I thought of us
Back to the time,
You were lying next to me
I looked across and fell in love
So I took your hand
Back through lamp lit streets I knew
Everything led back to you
So can you see the stars?
Over Amsterdam
You're the song my heart is
Beating

Ill give you my life

I wanna live just by your side
and give you my life
wanna show you the place
you have never seen
but wanna belong

I wanna stay, stay in your life
and Show you the place
to the place you belong
and there’ll be everything you wanna have
shiny and clear
(by) your side
(l wanna say
I’ll give you my life)

you’re my everything all I have
you’re my one to find me the place
now it’s my turn
l wanna say
I’ll give you my life
(In my life)

I want a trip, trip of our lives
and show you the sight
to the sight we hold on
and there’ll be everything we wanna have
glaring and dear
(by) your side
