with all the craziness that is getting engaged, there are a few things that I've seen online, etc. that I want to remember for my own wedding - including ideas on what to have engraved on our wedding bands.
Yes, you could never accuse me of being too much of a "big picture" person -- I always get hung up on the little details. Depending on band size of course, what I'm thinking about doing now is having my ring engraved with “i carry your heart” and his “(i carry it in my heart)." That e.e. cummings poem is very special to both of us -- and when I read about another bride doing that, I was immediately inspired.
The only thing is ... it sort of makes me cranky that it's extra-popular now (especially when it comes to weddings), after being featured in Jennifer Weiner's book In Her Shoes (and its subsequent movie):
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
