    The gold pedestal bowl gives a beautiful frame work for the precious rings placed in rose petals! Thank you for the photo.

Three weeks ago I had the blessing of attending my brother’s wedding in his wife’s family’s country, Thailand. While this is your standard “pre-wedding” shot of the rings, I think the Thai gold pedestal bowl is an excellent site-specific touch to complement the rings.

The rings themselves are heirlooms from my maternal grandparents. My brother now wears our grandfather’s ring, the one that was kept at home during WWII for safe keeping, and I wear the ring our grandfather wore while serving our country, as a reminder of his vows back home.
