Rings From Todd Reed, Two By London, Kirk Kara, And More Shown On Today For “Big Fat Wedding” Event
New York, NY—In conjunction with Friday’s release of My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, the Today show is running an on-air wedding contest of its own. Couples were invited to apply to be married on-air with the Today show creating the “big fat wedding of their dreams” this Thursday, the day before the movie’s release. (NBC Universal owns both the NBC network where Today airs and Universal Studios that produced the Greek Wedding movies.) Viewers will be voting to choose all the elements of the event, from dresses to rings to the honeymoon destination.
In a Today segment March 16 on bridal jewelry, New York City jeweler Jennifer Gandia of Greenwich Jewelers outlined some of the key trends in wedding bands. Plain gold and matchy-matchy are out; individuality is in. Among the trends she highlighted were rose gold, color, vintage details, contemporary metals, and black diamonds for men. Rings by Kirk Kara, Ritani, Penny Preville, Two By London, Greenwich Jewelers, Henri Daussi, Todd Reed, and ArtCarved, among others, were shown during the segment. Like all the other elements of the wedding, the rings the couple exchange will be chosen by viewer votes, and include the choice of a pair of rose gold ArtCarved rings—diamond eternity band for her, milgrain-edged wide band for him—or a mix-and-match choice of a rose-cut diamond white gold ring from Two By London for the bride, Kaitlin Roseman, and a sterling silver and black jade band by Greenwich Jewelers for the groom, John West. Voters’ third choice was a pair of Henri Daussi colored diamond rings featuring yellow diamonds for her and black diamonds for him.
Viewers are picking the wedding band trend they like best for the couple who will wed on Thursday's episode of Today. Clockwise from top left, rose gold ArtCarved rings, a rose-cut diamond band from Two By London and a sterling silver and black jade band from Greenwich Jewelers, and colored diamond rings from Henri Daussi.
Voting for the rings and all elements of the wedding has closed; the final choices will be revealed on Thursday, March 24, during the on-air wedding event.
