The Ring…

Her rep confirmed this exciting news to People magazine and told them that he gave her a Neil Lane diamond ring, I can’t wait to see it! Jennifer is in good company – Julia Roberts, Renee Zellweger, Courtney Cox Arquette, Reese Witherspoon, and Madonna have all been spotted wearing Neil Lane jewelry. He has also created wedding bands for Debra Messing and Gwen Stefani.

Neil Lane sells Antique Estate Jewelry and also designs jewelry from his shop on Hollywood Boulevard. It is (of course) really expensive. However, it can be a source of inspiration for the rest of us and you can get a similar look for much less.

Vintage-inspired jewelry is the most romantic!

These pieces would be great accessories for the big day! Perhaps a gift from the groom the day before the wedding? (Hint, hint…)

So how did Jennifer’s love life lead her to her engagement to David Otunga? 

Jennifer was dating her highschool sweetheart, James Peyton, when she began competing in American Idol but the relationship seems to have suffered from her fame – Jennifer broke up with James Peyton last year to go out with New York Jets’ player Kerry Rhodes.

After a month of Kerry, Jennifer and James got back together, but it couldn’t have lasted very long because Jennifer and her fiance David Otunga have been together for almost a year. Advice for David- beware of those high school sweethearts- their attraction seems to linger for years! 

I’d love to hear stories from anyone out there who is haunted by their high school sweetheart. Or married to him! Or if you’d just like to share a story about what your high school sweetheart was like, that would be interesting, too!
