Nut and Bolt Wedding Rings?

Weddings nowadays have truly changed. From the advancement and innovativeness of so many things to the weirdest wedding stuffs one can think of, I am always amazed and surprised more often than not. I'm surfing the weddingsatwork blog and saw these cool wedding bands:


Just leave out the sexual undertone it connotes, but the idea is actually cool. It simply signifies how two married people should complement each other like a nut and bolt. Clever, huh? This by the way is brass, 24k gold plate white zircon, designed by Kiley Granberg.

I wonder if there are also rings like a electric socket & plug, or coffee & cream, or nail & hammer. Or wedding bands that signifies a couple's common interest like gadgets, cars, pets or emblems of more specific ones like Superman movie theme, Benz or Ferrari parts. How amusing would that be.

Financial Talk: Things To Prepare Before Getting Married.

Husband: I dreamt I was laid off and you lost all your credit cards
Woman: That wasn't a dream. That was a nightmare!

1. Do an honest evaluation and talk about each other's finances
- Lay down what each of you has to offer and come together where you both stand because your financial lives will collectively become one.

2. Figure out the expenses that your financial standing can afford and how to budget.
- Your lifestyle as a couple, the monthly expenses like rent, utilities and the like must be considered. Make an agreement how your salaries (if both of you are working) will be saved, partitioned (like who pays on what).

3. Plan out a savings goal
- This goes to goals like properties to be acquired in the future (house, car, etc), children's education, and business.

4. To handle emergencies, obtain an insurance
- Study thoroughly and get the best deal on insurance. So spend some time perusing all those disability, health and term life insurance quotes from a reputable insurance agency.

5. Prioritize marriage
- Don’t let anything especially money come between the two of you. Work on your marriage and make it your top priority at all times. No amount of salary will make your marriage solid but quality time and open communication will.

Who Were You In High School?

You Were the All American Kid

Popular but not plastic. Athletic but not a jock. Smart but not a brain. You were well rounded and well liked in high school.

Who Were You In High School?

All American Kid..cool! My High School years, I believe, were the best part of my school life. I way enjoyed High School than College because it was the time when I most relished my teenage years without having to take life so seriously. Unlike College wherein you have to be deeply focused since your future is nearing to take shape, High School just lets you savor life as it is and the only worries you have is thinking how to get rid of acne, puppy love and crushes, terror teachers and some other minor peer pressures to deal with.

Modern Bathroom Faucet.

I would love to have this faucet in our bathroom:

This is called the Water Ball Ripples and I saw this over at Freshome.com. Designed by Smith Newnam, this isn't actually available yet in the market as it's just a concept right now. It may look complex at first but controlling it is just easy. The electronically-secured metal ball on top of the faucet’s frosted glass surface is moved towards and outside of the center to control the water pressure. While moving it around the center controls the temperature. The surface glows red or blue to denote how cold or hot the water is. Cool, isn't it? Definitely lovely for the bathroom. I wonder if Delta faucets will have such concept in the future.
