Man finds Wedding Ring at the Bottom of Harbor

Posted in Just for fun

 Did you see this story…..if not take a glance…..what are the odds? Or actually maybe it is yet another lesson in persistence. I hope you enjoy….

 

Aleki Taumoepeau earned the nickname “Lord of the Ring” after he successfully retrieved his wedding ring from the bottom of Wellington Harbour 16 months after he lost it.

The Niwa ecologist, from Hamilton, was checking the harbour for invasive plant species in March last year when the ring slipped from his finger.

At the time, he hastily threw an old anchor overboard to mark the spot and vowed to Rachel, his wife of three months, that he would find it.

“It flew off into the air and everyone on the boat was looking at it and said it was like a scene from Lord of the Rings in slow motion,” Mrs Taumoepeau told The Dominion Post.

A dive three months after the mishap failed to find the ring, but Mr Taumoepeau was back in the capital again recently for another attempt.

After an hour searching in three metres of water near the Hutt River mouth, Mr Taumoepeau found nothing.

“I was getting cold and tired so I said to God it would be really good to find the ring about now.”

He then spied the anchor, with the ring just centimetres away.

“I couldn’t believe that I could see the ring so perfectly.”

 

Design Visage salutes “The Lord of the Rings” for tenacity.

 

 Optimism is the foundation of courage.

Tattoo Encore

Posted in Bridal hairstyles and hair accessories, Just for fun, Vintage Brides

Encore of the fun photos of tatoo brides. Just look at the art on these girls. I found all these photos on offbeatbride.com . Design Visage did not do the hair and make-up for these brides…although I wish we did….

I really appriciate brides who think outside the box…maybe because I as well did not do the traditional. I met this “to die for” man in Italy when I was studying there many years ago. We had so much in common. Most importantly we both agreed on the importance of a commited relationship, although did not want to marry. Well as life has it, after he was here for 2 years…we could not longer dodge immigration. The attorney said marry by April 15th or he becomes an illegal~!!! wow so we did not even talk about it for a few months…well April came around and to spare all the details….we went to Las Vegas…I wore a black dress ( very stunning) and we did it all alone…we did not even tell our friends or family….he suggested the drive through Elvis ceremony, but I did draw the line there…..so here we are 12 years later…..happy, married…..without even 1 photo of the day. O yes we did confess to our families 5 years after the day!

What a pretty girl with such a natural bridal make-up choice.

 If man is to survive, he will have learned to take a delight in the essential differences between men and between cultures. He will learn that differences in ideas and attitudes are a delight, part of life’s exciting variety, not something to fear.

Tattoo Brides

Posted in Bridal hairstyles and hair accessories, Hair Styles, Just for fun, Tatoo Brides

I just came across this great site…..off beat brides….I love it….so many fun fun brides and looks, we do not see much of this in the O.C., although if you are a future bride and love one of these looks and plan to do an offbeat look….please call Design Visage,  The first one to call, we will do your hair and make-up free….yes free.

I remember years ago, more than 20 when a bride had a tattoo, she would quietly ask us to cover it. And it was typically about the size of a quarter…or a bit bigger….wow have times changed. Now it is part of the bridal look……..take a look at this art:

How fun was that? The creativity on the bridal hair and make-up was interesting, and great to see that we are not all alike…..viva la difference!!

 

Always be a first rate version of yourself, and not a second rate version of someone else.

Bride and Groom have the exact same name

Posted in Just for fun

I saw this on Yahoo yesterday and MUST document is story. So Funny.

Meet the bride ..Kelly Hidelbrant, and meet the groom Kelly Hidelbrant!!! Yes it is true Read the story of how this happened.

It’s been a whirlwind romance for the guy and gal who share the same name, and it all started with an innocent Facebook message.

“She started off ‘Hey, I saw we have the same name,and I thought it was kind of cool, Just wanted to say hi I guess. LOL,’” the male Kelly said.

Kelly the female, from Coral Springs, was curious to see profiles of people with the same name when she happened across Kelly the male in Lubbock, Texas.

“I searched my own name and he’s the only one who came up and actually in the picture he didn’t have a shirt on and I was like oh he’s cute,” said the female Kelly.

Three weeks later, male kelly flew to South Florida to meet female Kelly, and they hit it off immediately.

And now in just three months, the Hildebrandts will officially be married.

“We get a couple of the same reactions, usually it’s like ‘whoa, that’s so awesome and totally different,’” said female Kelly, 20.

Male Kelly, 24, has moved down to Florida and plans on working at the new branch for his company, Primerica Financial. Female Kelly is finishing up her studies at Palm Beach Community College.

The wedding will be at Lighthouse Point Yacht Club in October, a quick turnaround — just eight months after the two first met – though male Kelly has no reservations.

“I felt like there was a good possibility that before I ever came out to meet her in person, that this could be the girl I’m gonna marry,” he said.

The marriage won’t be without problems. In fact, one problem has already presented itself before the two have even stepped foot on the altar.

“He’s even already got some mail coming in, and we have to open everything, because we don’t know whose mail is whose,” said female Kelly.

 And I always thought it was funny one of our Design Visage artists Georgia ,is married to George!!
