Women propose new wedding trend

Until recently engagement rings were seen as exclusively a female item of jewellery but the team at Ingle & Rhode believe the time has come for both sexes to enjoy a little engagement bling.

They have already sold several of the rings to women who were planning to propose to their partners and are confident the trend will continue to gain pace. Ingle & Rhode's mens rings include items fashioned from gold and platinum with many featuring ethically sourced diamonds, sapphires, emeralds and other precious stones. There's something for most budgets with women able to choose from a modest ring for their man from as little as £495 or go for something more blingy up to £11,950. 

The jeweller offers a bespoke design service for those who wish to gift a truly unique engagement ring. Ingle & Rhode are ethical jewellers and all their items have the very highest of credentials when it comes to sourcing.

Tim Ingle, of Ingle & Rhode, said: "When it comes to proposing marriage things have changed forever. Some ladies are realising that if they want the wedding of their dreams they might be better off giving their guy a ring! Several of our female customers have told us they've gotten fed-up of waiting for the man in their life to propose so they've decided to seize the initiative themselves. 

"Our Men's Engagement Rings allow them to do just that - and I'm sure that any man would be delighted if the special lady in his life surprised him with one of these beautiful rings. 

"Over the past couple of years we've had a lot of women customers coming in and asking for engagement rings.  Some of them have been planning elaborate proposals including getting down on one knee with a ring box in their hands. It wasn't something we really used to see but in recent times we've had more and more requests for engagement rings to fit a man's finger. "

Traditionally of course engagement rings were something which men bought for women but times are changing and we certainly believe in equality of the sexes so why not have rings designed exclusively for men?"

Mr Ingle added that the new rings are popular with both male and female customers alike. He said: "It isn't only women who buy these rings - they are also incredibly popular with male couples planning their perfect marriage ceremony. We have also had men buy them for themselves at the same time as buying an engagement ring for their female partner - I guess they didn't want to miss out."

Celebrant vs registrar vs humanist celebrant: what's the difference?

Celebrant vs registrar vs humanist celebrant: What's the difference? Ceremony Master explains... Choosing who will lead your wedding ceremony is an important decision, but understanding the difference between a registrar, an independent celebrant and a humanist celebrant can help you decide what's right for your day. From the legal requirements of getting married to creating a personal, meaningful ceremony that reflects your relationship, each option offers something different. A registrar takes care of the legal civil marriage, while an independent celebrant can create a bespoke ceremony tailored to your story, preferences and values. A humanist celebrant also leads a personal ceremony, but one rooted in humanist beliefs and a non-religious outlook. The important distinction is that not every celebrant is authorised to legally marry a couple, and the rules vary across the UK

Modern wedding rituals revealed as Brits bury sausages for the big day

Modern wedding rituals revealed as Brits bury sausages for the big day

For decades, the British wedding has followed a well-known rulebook of etiquette, from formal seating plans to three tier cakes. However, new research from Moonpig, the UK's leading online greeting card and gift retailer, has revealed that the nation is moving away from these traditions in favour of highly personal and often quirky rituals. The study of 1,500 Brits reveals that authenticity is winning over tradition. Six in ten (59%) believe a wedding should be a true reflection of the couple's personalities, even if it means breaking classic wedding etiquette. To ensure their day feels truly unique, many are turning to unconventional superstitions and spiritual services. Over one in five (22%) Brits said they have buried or would consider burying a sausage to guarantee good weather on their wedding day. Meanwhile, over a third (39%) would consider hiring an 'Etsy witch' or similar spiritualist to provide blessing rituals for their big day.
