10 Fun Facts About The Origin of Wedding Rings

November 18, 2021 / Posted by in Accessories, Relationships

Hello, brides! Have you ever stopped to think about the origin of wedding bands? Who started the tradition and what was the meaning behind it? If you’re dying to know the answer, take a break from wedding planning for a while and come and join us for a bit. Read these 10 fun facts about wedding rings and satisfy your curiosity this instant!

 

 

(1) Wearing wedding rings on the fourth finger on left hand dates back to the time of ancient Egyptians. According to Egyptian tradition, wearing wedding bands signify either a business contract or represent love and obedience. Furthermore, they believed that the vena amoris, or “vein of love,” through which the heart’s blood supply ran passes directly through the fourth finger on the left hand. Hence, wedding bands were worn on what we now know as the ring finger.

 

(2) When Alexander the Great conquered the Egyptians, they adopted the tradition. They started giving rings depicting Eros or Cupid, the god of Love, to lovers as a form of devotion.

25 Emotional Black and White Photos from Real Weddings and Engagements

November 15, 2021 / Posted by in Local Pre-Weddings, Local Weddings, Photo & Video

When it comes to wedding photos, we tend to skew our preference towards colored photos, do we not? Admittedly, seeing sunset colors paint engagement shoots with golden hues, a ceremony with the azure sky and sea as the backdrop, and lovers strolling amidst a field full of blossoming flowers for their post-nuptial gives us all butterflies. With this general sentiment and inclination towards colors, we oftentimes forget that black and white photos are equally appalling in their own way. Hence, today’s blog feature pays tribute to the beauty and simplicity of black and white photos. We asked Hong Kong photographers to share their favorite black and white photos with us and shed some light on what makes black and white photos captivating. Scroll on to experience the spellbinding call of black and white photos–raw, unassuming, emotional, and magical all at once.
