June is the Month of Weddings

June 3rd, 2011 Posted in Wedding Tags: , ,

June is known for graduations, and Father’s Day but it also the month of the most weddings.   June is the month that many happy couples decide to tie the knot.   According to a survey conducted by the knot.com and weddingchannel.com 15% of respondents had their weddings in June.  

I don’t know why so many decide to get married in June, but it could be a great time for family and friends to take off and be able to attend the wedding.  This is also a great time to use vacation days for the wedding.  

No matter when the month a couple  decides to get married the most important thing is to work on the marriage than you work on the wedding.

But when it comes to diamond rings, there are certain things to consider like the color of the diamond.  Not only are future brides having white diamonds on their fingers.  There are many that have fallen in love with their yellow, pink, or black diamond rings

There is also the decision on what cut to have for the diamond ring. You may want a cushion, emerald, heart, marquise, oval, radiant, pear, princess, round, or trilliant cut.  Of all these cuts the round diamonds are more prevalent than the rest.

Going beyond the diamond you also need to choose the metal of the ring.  Silver, white gold, yellow gold.

So with that all in mind, who would you want to chose your diamond engagement ring?
