This Blog

Hey, we are gonna put the focus of this blog back on weddings. It is so fun and easy to blog about life and projects and such, but this blog was started to go along with our site, Favors With Love. So we are gonna try that and see how it goes. We will focus on ideas for weddings and any party or function that goes along with weddings.

If you follow for reasons other than weddings don't worry. You can come by the new blog, where you can continue to hear my blah blah blahs. Peace in 2010!

Did You Know - Why the left hand, third finger?

Did you ever wonder why we wear our wedding bands on our left hand, and why on the third finger ?

In ancient cultures it was believed that the third finger of the left hand, had a special vein called vena amoris, the vein of "love," that ran from the "ring finger" finger directly to the heart. Interesting!!!
