What does it mean to have a three stone diamond engagement ring, also known as a Trilogy Engagement Ring?  Is it just an affluent status symbol or is there a deeper meaning behind this timeless setting?  As popularity for this setting grows couples find themselves pondering this very question.

This classic style features three shining diamonds studded in a row, with the middle diamond often being slightly bigger and displayed more prominently.  The most commonly held belief is that the three stone engagement ring symbolises the love of the couple in the past, present and the future.  It immortalises the beautiful moment of commitment, the shared history that led to it, and the future that the two of you will have together.

Popular culture influences us in so many ways. Sometimes it comes in the form of parents assigning their new born baby the name of a character from a hit tv show, or it could be as simple as buying a brand of eyewear shown on a star's new music video. Well, same goes for popular culture's influence on weddings, with US-based wedding photographers staging a shoot aimed at inspiring die-hard fans of the movie Hungers Games.

What you're visualising right now is not your traditional wedding, rather a zombie apocalypse-inspired one. I mean, what could be more romantic that being on the run with the love of your life as you're chased down by flesh-ripping zombie hordes?

Out with the old and in with the new.  Just as with clothing and the seasons, popular wedding trends do come and go.  You’ve got the latest  engagement ring, now as you plan your big day you want to know what’s hot this year in wedding trends.

Watch out fellas!  If you’re racking your brain for original wedding proposal ideas, you’ve got some tough competition.  This young guy from Sydney made up a pretend band, wrote, produced and filmed his proposal song, and played it at his family’s Christmas function, all because his Texan girlfriend loved boy bands growing up.
