If you have been married for several years, you might be surprised how quickly the time has flown by and how much your lives have changed since you said, “I do.” You may have switched jobs, bought a new house or started a family, but the one constant through all the big changes has been your love for your spouse. 

Valentine’s Day is an opportunity for you to reaffirm your commitment to one another each year. This year, make the occasion extra special by selecting beautiful new matching wedding bands as a memorable and lasting gift. Many couples decide to replace their wedding rings after a few years of marriage for a variety of reasons. Some couldn’t afford the rings they wanted when they were younger and want to invest in new wedding rings now that they are more financially secure. Some want wedding bands that complement each other and reflect their current personal style. 

No matter what your style or budget, you can find a perfect fit at My Trio Rings. Here are a few examples:

“For me, Savannah's resistance to change was its saving grace. The city looked inward, sealed off from the noises and distractions of the world at large. It grew inward, too, and in such a way that its people flourished like hothouse plants tended by an indulgent gardener. The ordinary became extraordinary. Eccentrics thrived. Every nuance and quirk of personality achieved greater brilliance in that lush enclosure than would have been possible anywhere else in the world.” 

― John Berendt, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

Savannah is one of the most beautiful and romantic cities in the United States, making it one of the best places to propose to your sweetheart. It has the charm and grace of the Old South and the beauty and convenience of modern urban planning. You will find it easy to fall under the spell of the “Hostess City,” as Savannah is known, with its warm and welcoming environment. Find the perfect spot for a romantic proposal neither of you will forget. 

Best Places to Propose in the "Hostess City"

1. Squares of Savannah

The historic downtown area of Savannah is dotted with 22 gorgeous public squares that date back to the 18th and 19th century. Spend an afternoon walking through a few of these squares, strolling under huge live oak canopies and pausing to sit and people watch by one of the many fountains or statues. Grab some gourmet (and healthy) sandwiches at Brighter Day Natural Foods on the edge of Forsyth Park, and find a secluded spot for a picnic in the beautiful grounds of the park. Under the cover of Spanish moss, get down on one knee and propose with a stunning diamond engagement ring.

2. Horse-Drawn Perfection

Make a reservation with Historic Savannah Carriage Tours for a horse-drawn carriage to pick you up at your hotel. The romantic “proposal tour” will arrange everything for a picture-perfect night for two. Your driver will escort you to a gazebo in Whitefield Square, telling you the local legend of how sharing a kiss in the gazebo promises a lifetime of true love. Then you can share a kiss in the gazebo and pop the question with the perfect ring. When you get back into the carriage, you can toast to your future with a bottle of champagne. 

3. A Noble Meal 

Enjoy an unforgettable meal of fantastic food and wine at Noble Fare, a charming restaurant owned by married couple Jenny and Patrick McNamara. The cuisine focuses on locally sourced ingredients and modern, creative preparation. Go all out with the food and wine tasting menu, and savor every delicious course. Arrange with the restaurant to bring out the chocolate love cake as the final course, and propose over decadent dessert and sparkling wine.

Spring weddings are the first choice of many brides. After all, the weather is temperate, the flowers are in bloom, and romance is in the air. But as lovely as they are, spring weddings must often be planned more than a year in advance because of the competition for venues and vendors. In addition, high-season rates can quickly break a modest budget. A winter wedding can be a welcome alternative, reducing both your stress level and the dollars out of your pocket.

With winter weddings, you can take advantage of off-season rates for everything from venue rental to guest travel and accommodations. There's also something enchanting about winter wedding style that can make for a breathtaking event. Here are a few ideas to consider for dress and decor.

Dress

• Red and white are striking winter colors. Offset your white dress with a red sash, ruby jewelry, or bold red shoes.
• To gather ideas, do a search for "winter wedding style" on Google Images and Pinterest. You'll find ideas for fashionable faux furs the complement your wedding dress, charming gloves and hats, and close-toed shoes for inclement weather.
• Inscribe your matching wedding bands with the date of the winter day when you tied the knot.

Decor

• Hang classy snowflake and icicle decorations in your reception venue. It's easy to find affordable, handcrafted recycled glass icicles that catch the light gorgeously. The same goes for snowflake decorations in different shapes and sizes.
• Gold and silver accents capture the coziness of a winter wedding. Cover tables with silver satin cloths, and incorporate silver candelabras or silver hanging ornaments. Colorful lighting in blue and purple will highlight these accents dramatically.

Flowers

• White and red flowers with green accents give winter weddings a classic look. See Borrowed & Bleu's visual guide to winter wedding flowers. Camellia, Ranunculus, Anemone, and Amaryllis are a few popular red flowers for bridal bouquets and table arrangements.
• Use red berries as accents in your bouquet, table arrangements, and even in your hair! This style board captures a red and berry winter wedding theme.

The important thing to remember when you are planning your budget wedding reception is that you want to be able to enjoy your own party. The reception is the time when you can finally relax, let down your hair (or kick off your uncomfortable shoes) and dance the night away with your new spouse, your best friends, your parents and even your 90-year-old grandmother. 

Creating the perfect wedding reception playlist is one of the most fun parts of the planning process, and it gives you an excuse to rock out to “Billie Jean” over and over again. 

Tips for Picking the Right Budget Wedding Reception Music 

1. Compare costs.

You may have your heart set on a live rock ‘n’ roll cover band for your reception, but before you make a decision, find out how much it will cost. A wedding band can provide lively and high-quality entertainment, but it often costs much more than a DJ. If you are trying to keep costs down, research DJs who have good recommendations and are within your budget, or look into the completely DIY route. With a rented sound system, an excellent iPod playlist and a music-savvy friend to keep things moving smoothly, you could create a great dance party for a fraction of the cost.

2. Consider your audience.

Whether you decide to hire a DJ or do the music yourself, you will want to come up with a list of songs that you definitely want to hear at the reception (as well as those you definitely do NOT want to hear). When you start to brainstorm your ideal wedding reception playlist, take into account your own personal tastes as well as those of your guests. Try to find a good mix tunes from different genres, eras and tempos that will get everyone out on the dance floor. For example, throw a slow song in for every five fast songs, and choose a little hip-hop and ‘80s pop for your college friends, some old-time rock ‘n’ roll for your parents and their friends and some Rat Pack crooners for your grandparents. You don’t have to go for all crowd-pleasers or wedding standards, but remember that getting too obscure will probably result in an empty dance floor. For example:

Slow Songs

"You Send Me" - Sam Cooke 

"Fly Me to the Moon" - Frank Sinatra 

"The Luckiest" - Ben Folds 

"Dance Me to the End of Love" - Madeleine Peyroux 

"If I Fell" - The Beatles 

"Always Be My Baby" - Mariah Carey 

Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

Dance Songs 

"Single Ladies" - Beyonce 

"Footloose" - Kenny Loggins 

"P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" - Michael Jackson

"The Twist" - Chubby Checker

"Push It" - Salt ‘n’ Pepa

"Say Hey (I Love You)" - Michael Franti & Spearhead 

"Runaround Sue" - Dion & the Belmonts 

3. Leave room for flexibility.

Have a Plan B in case your selections don't seem to be clicking with your guests. Talk to the DJ in advance and give him the freedom to shake up the playlist and rely on his expertise to play songs that will get people moving. If you are going DIY, have a few close friends make back-up playlists on their iPods in case you want to swap them in.
