amor2008112's Red wedding

Okay, so here's a little tidbit for all those who want a taste of culture...

America: Engagement ring and wedding band for the bride and wedding band for the groom...
Brazil: Wedding band IS the engagement ring for the bride AND the groom...

America: Engagement ring goes on the left hand along with the wedding band on the wedding band...
Brazil: Engagement ring for the bride and groom goes on the right hand, signifying engagement, then on the left on the wedding band.

We had our engagement party this past weekend (9/22/2007). It was a blast to see so many people showing up. We had our neighbors and friends from church come. I invited my family to join the festivities, but none of them came... :(
...nuff said.
When it came for Pastor Soarez to do the sermon, he did it so beautifully. He explained that there are seven billion people on Earth - 3.5 (women and men - EACH) and God took two - One from each side and set them aside for eac other. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL. He then said that there are phases in life. I could tell it all, but it would be to long.

Today I changed my profile picture!! It's so beaultiful!

Here's he funny moment - When he was done blessing my engagement ring, he gave it to Hronne (my fiance), and he proceeded to put it on my left hand. People were screaming, 'NO!!! Wrong hand!! The right! It goes on the right!!' We had to explain that this engagement was going to be American (Read the above!)

We got our rings at Kay Jewelers.
