Happy Valentine’s day!!
I thought I would come on here and share our wedding ring tradition with you guys since we don’t do anything special for valentines day.
Our tradition is that for every vacation we get new QALO rings. It all started when we eloped to Bora Bora. I didn’t want to worry about my fancy engagement ring, because I knew we would be doing a lot of water activities. We decided to go with white QALO rings for the ceremony, and they looked perfect. I didn’t have to worry about losing my ring or putting it in the safe. For the rest of the elopement and the adjoining trip to Loreto, we had aqua and black for hubby and me. Mine glowed in the dark so way cool!
The reason we went with QALO is that we can wear these during all our activities while on vacation. I don’t have to worry about sand, sunscreen, or losing it in the ocean. We also wear these around the house when we are doing yard work or working out. They come in a cute carrying pouch, that is perfect for travel as well.
About six months later we went to Maui and decided we needed a new set for this trip. So, after scouring their website, we both decided to get the gray/silver rings. They weren’t identical in color, but they were close enough that it was cute!
We are about to go back to Maui in about three months and are trying to figure out what color we should get this year? I was thinking pink, but they don’t make a men’s pink ring unless I get him the largest women’s size! So maybe marble? Or they have new ones that you can customize and are two-toned in color? So many options can’t wait to share what we picked!
What are your Valentines’ traditions?
Not sponsored just truly love the rings!
My husband and I eloped to the island of Bora Bora to have a private ceremony and explore the island.
When we decided we were going to elope we knew it had to be a once in a lifetime place, so obviously Bora Bora. An added bonus is that it was not as far away as many people think, it was only 8hrs from LA.
We ended up with a top 5 excel spreadsheet because I am a nerd at heart and have to make pro/con lists and map everything out. (I will share my excel spreadsheet on the blog soon!) In the top 5 were the usual suspects, the Four Seasons, The Ritz, Le Meridian, Sofitel, and The Intercontinental Thalasso. With our list together we set out a budget and immediately a few came off. It was down to the Intercontinental and Le Meridian. What sold us on the Intercontinental was the size of the huts over the water and the newer modern finishes, plus we got one of the new huts with our own swimming pool, figured it was worth the splurge since it was our wedding and honeymoon. We also preferred the InterContinental’s wedding package as well. It was very easy to customize and on the day of they had everything planned out we didn’t have to worry about a thing.
Let me just say this resort did not disappoint it was everything a 5 star resort should be (although it was our first time staying at one). There were kayaks, paddleboards, snorkeling, and they would book any other excursions you wanted. We literally didn’t have to lift a finger if we didn’t want too. The staff was so sweet and beyond helpful. All of the restaurants were very good. Our favorite meal was at the Reef restaurant, they had a braised lamb shank that was to die for and they paired it with a bottle of amazing red wine. We loved it so much we had it twice while we were there. The happy hour at Bubbles bar was so much fun they had great craft cocktails and appetizers with the perfect atmosphere.
