 brand new... the gown gallery

 

 

It's our turn, girls! After recently introducing the Formal Wear Gallery to the guys, it's time to give the girls what they want...

The Gown Gallery is a brand new showcase of some of the top designer labels you can find at local gown shops in this area. Browse for gowns, find out where your favourites are and then try them on!

 

Intimate and unique venue perfect for both your small ceremony and reception, stunning for a photo location

 

How could a bride not fall in love with the idea of saying 'I Do', surrounded in a world of butterflies, flowers, waterfalls, plants and greenery? Wings of Paradise lives up to their name by offering a year-round tropical paradise for your wedding day, right here in the community. Rain or shine, your custom-designed wedding day will come together from an impressive list of options that Wings of Paradise offers. Couples have been known to hold several or all of their wedding day events in this one romantic location - from ceremonies and receptions to their photo shoots in front of naturally exotic backdrops.

 

The Ring has been dying to showcase the facilities of this amazing location, and after getting our own personal tour of wedding options at Wings of Paradise, we can tell you that it was well worth the wait. Let us explain... click for full story

Your ceremony in paradise...

Your Wings of Paradise wedding starts out with your ceremony in your choice of locations. For groups up to 30 people, you can be married in The Conservatory amid the tropical splendour of waterfalls, plants, flowers and, of course, butterflies. For parties of 30 to 100 people, the Monarch room, decorated with a tulle arbour, lights and tropical plants transforms into an ideal ceremony location, still reminiscent of The Conservatory's ambiance.

 

When you hire KW Chocolate Fountains, you're getting three hours and two gallons worth of milk, dark or white chocolate cascading over a three-tiered chocolate fountain that will serve up to 300 guests (with a medium sized fountain). You're getting your choice of fresh fruit, candies, cakes and pretzels (tons of possibilities) to dip with using skewers. Your chocolate fountain attendant sets up, attends the table throughout the event, and tears down mess-free, all for no additional charge.

Chocolate Fountain Guru is serving up hundreds of weddings in sweet style

 

Jennifer Roberts is not the 'Jack of all Trades' type. Instead, she's more like the master (guru, if you will) of one - the chocolate fountain. Chocolate fondue-style fountains are all that Jennifer does, and her focus has made her one of the most popular girls in town, especially at a way-low price of $375 to $525.

 

This interview was one of the most delicious ones ever had by The Ring's staff (we also brought the kids - for some cross-generational perspective...). From two-inch strawberries to smores-with-a-twist, we can tell you first hand that it's no wonder why KW Chocolate Fountains is booking solid into 2006.

 

Most of Jennifer's clients are chocolate-loving brides, caterers, reception halls, night clubs, trade shows and anyone throwing a bridal shower, bar mitzvah or anniversary. Chocolate fountains are great option for cocktail hours...

most romantic proposal: 'Unexpected!'

Hi everyone,
I am new to the board but I am glad I found it because I didn't realize there was a specific board for people in the tri-city area.
Anyway...my boyfriend proposed to me on June 12th 2005 and he surprised me by throwing a surprise party at my house with my family and friends. I was expecting him to propose at Rockwood Conservation Area because we go there every summer to canoe and the first time we went, we engaged our names into a tree. The day he proposed, we went there canoeing and I was waiting and waiting for him to pop the question. When he didn't and the day came to an end, I was very disappointed. However, when we got back to my house, there was the big surprise. He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. It was very unexpected but amazing...

advice: Registering for Cash

I don't know if anyone has posted on this before but here goes. My FH and I are barely making ends meet. We've already had to put off our wedding a year for financial reasons. Is it totally unthinkable to ask for cash in lieu of gifts? We would like to start a fund to pay for a house and save up for other things. Is this totally unthinkable? If not, any ideas on how we go about doing this? click to see what brides said in reply
