    wish I'd known about kilts when we were married 30 years ago.
    You both look fantastic, may God bless your union together.

    Wow Nick, a beautiful looking wedding and my blessings to you both. The Party looked fantastic and Cassie gorgeous. She have any sisters?!
    And well done on the pieces for the wedding. Tell your mum from me that the dess looks first class and stunning. Don't mind me being a nosey jeweller but what are the materials in the rings? Looks like 18C white Au, but could be stirling...
    Also I'm very sorry to hear about your grandmother, which of course would have especially difficult so close to your wedding. I'm sure she was there with you both all the same.
    Erin.

    Ozmeath, yes, she has two sisters. Sorry, lad, they're both taken.

    The rings are both .999 fine silver. Wonderful material to work with, it almost forges itself. I did try some stirling, but even working it hot, it has an unfortunate tendancy to crack. The only downside to the fine silver is that it's so soft. Mine is already pretty well scratched up (no gouges or anything like that, but scratched). I take it off any time I'm at the forge or doing any other work that might damage it. Still, everything taken into consideration, wouldn't have it any other way.

    Cheers,
    Nick

    Lovely to work with fine silver Nick, and the symbol of the purity of the metal is appropriate to be trothed with.
    I rarely work with fine ag but on the occassion I do it's a pleasure it. Usually i'm adding copper to it to cast! You could of course make up a leather braid to hang the ring off if you're working alot.
    Erin.
    Bummer about the sisters...
