I have gone to two wedding festivals (in SC) and you get TONS of free stuff at them! For example, free magazines, free totes, got a ring cleaner yesterday , free one-year subscription to Brides magazine (first one showed up at my apartment only 2 weeks after the festival!)...there are also tons of giveaways and prizes...I also got free lunch because there is more food and cake than you can stand! I guess technically it costs $7 to get in, but still!

Thanks for all the info everyone! Some of that will definitely come in handy.

Holy cow, how did I not know about JVL Jewelry? I might just have to order FH's ring from there because they have a very similar band to the one he wants and it will save me $400. He's a little untrusting of it, but after going through the forums, I think it sounds legit. Thanks for the help!

A friend of mine got her husband's band there.

Not necessarily free but I've seen some killer deals on these sites. Groupon in particular has had Photobooth deals for $350

Thank you for the information Amanda. I am going to check out all of these websites tonight.

Where do you get all the information you will ever need about weddings? HAYLEY C. OF COURSE! Hayley, you are definitely a pro, love it!

WOW!! FREE RING! Rhea did your friends hubbys ring come in good quality how long have they been married? did it turn his finger green? lol

I would also like to know how the quality of the ring turned out. It's a great deal!

If a person has a natural high acidity level in his/her skin, it is possible for his/her finger to "turn green" from silver or gold jewelry, especially when the weather is hot and humid. The green is actually caused by oxidation, and all silver will oxidize (it's also what gives silver a tarnished look). Or if the jewelry items contain nickel. It's not poisonous in small quantities but it can provoke a reaction in people allergic to nickel.

This "green finger effect" may also be an allergic reaction to alloy elements in sterling silver or gold. In some cases, the alloys, used to make jewelry more durable, may react with your body chemistry, causing a harmless green or black discoloration on the skin, which can be easily removed with soap and water. For this reason, most retail silver jewelry and white gold jewelry is plated with rhodium, which serves as a defensive layer.

They are tungsten.

Steel, titanium and tungsten are all hypo-allergenic and should not turn your fingers green.

The rings are great!! We ordered two from them, the first one was supposed to be the only one but FH changed his mind after we had it... So we ordered another one

WOOOOWWW TOTALLY A GREAT DEALL!!!

WOOOOWWW TOTALLY A GREAT DEALL!!!

This is mighty helpful!
