Peronsalizing Ring Holders.

Give your rings the personal touch they deserve! One couple I know met during travels in India.  When he returned to his hometown of Milan, Italy, and she returned to California, they resumed contact through email which led to trips to visit each other and eventually marriage.  So for their wedding ceremony, they decided to take an old laptop computer and cut out the center keys.  In the space created, a vibrant piece of fabric was laid in for the wedding rings.  The ring bearer carried the laptop to the bride and groom just before they said their vows and ceremoniously opened it to reveal the sparkling wedding bands. 

Instead of the traditional ring pillow, consider a personal alternative limited only by your imagination:

- decoupage a treasure box with photocopies of a  love letter from your fiance

- tie your rings with ribbon to a beautiful stone or piece of tumbled glass you found on a beach walk together

- make a cut out in the center of your favorite book of poetry

- use that fabulous bird's nest your kitty found in the backyard

- put your rings in an exquisite, heirloom evening bag (a good way to honor the grandma's memory without having to say a word)

- use a small, artsy, blown-glass bowl that you can later fill with candy kisses and keep out on the coffee table
