The History of the Diamond as an Engagement Ring

As Valentine's Day approaches and with it some very romantic proposals, I wondered why and when diamonds became popular as the stone for engagement rings. The History of the Diamond as an Engagement Ring A man presents his prospective bride with an engagement ring upon acceptance of his marriage proposal. Anthropologists believe this tradition originated from a Roman custom in which wives wore rings attached to small keys, indicating their husbands' ownership.

Wedding in the chapel at Farnham Castle - Farnham Wedding Photographer

I was contacted recently by the wedding organisers at Farnham Castle to supply some shots of a wedding blessing I photographed in the chapel. It was a beautiful day and it was fantastic to be able to photograph in the chapel as not many people have been lucky enough to use the chapel for their wedding or blessing ceremonies. Farnham Castle are working on this - they have plans to appoint a vicar to conduct the ceremonies in the near future, very exciting! I thought I would post an image of the day to show you what a cosy place the chapel is and how perfect it would be for such an intimate occasion. www.jonesandco.co
