Wedding Fact Friday

Since it's the holiday season and lots couples are getting engaged, I thought I'd share some history with you!

"The practice of giving or exchanging engagement rings began in 1477 when Roman Emperor, Maximilian I, gave Mary of Burgundy a diamond ring as an engagement present." (source)

"Conscious Bride" is great! Really eye-opening. I'm so glad I'm reading this before our big day. I think it's going to help me know what to expect emotionally as the wedding approaches. I hope you enjoy it too! Happy New Year!
