So, Princess Lasertron, a celebrity in her own right (check her out on Offbeat Bride) has beautiful rings, and she shared a bit of herself, plus pictures of the awesome rings that she and her husband wear.  As you can see in the pictures, the insides of the bands read: Megan loves David loves Megan loves…

Prince Lasertron (Prince David?) also wears two rings – yay Prince Lasertron!

PL: My name is Princess Lasertron and I am a bridal designer, blogger, and best friend. I love to make things and I have always had entrepreneurial tendencies. I live nocturnally, working through the night making floral accessories for brides like bouquets and hairpieces, designing dresses for fabulous people, and sharing inspiration with my customers through my website. I live in Omaha and I devote much of my time to supporting Omaha’s creative and entrepreneurial community.

TLC:  What is your favorite place in the whole wide world?
PL:  Waiting for the bus in the snow at Kurfurstendamm and Uhlandstrasse in downtown Berlin with one arm full of shopping bags and the other one holding a fresh croissant. I was a German major in college and spent a lot of time in Berlin, and we finally went together last year.

TLC:  What’s your favorite color?
PL:  I don’t have a favorite color, but I have favorite color combinations. Colors look best when they are hanging out with a friend. I love grey and yellow, teal and white, and hot pink thrown in anywhere.

TLC:  Childhood ambition?
PL:  When I was a younger girl I wanted to be all kinds of things, but streaks of creativity and entrepreneurship ran through all of my plans. I remain on track with my plan to be a jack-of-all-trades–I’m sort of a non-committal person.

TLC:  Current ambition?
PL:  I would love to write a book about approaching wedding planning as party planning. I’m working on a line of dresses for 2010. And I’d love to do a tour around the world teaching classes. Dreams.

TLC:  What would you do if you had a million dollars?
PL:  Buy a modest house and save the rest.

TLC:  Who is your partner?
PL:  I share a roof in midtown with my multi-talented husband, David Homan, our crybaby kitty Turbo, five computers and an Xbox 360. David has been my partner in crime for about five years. I loved him as soon as I knew him. He is very funny, very relaxed, very rational.

TLC:  What does your wedding/engagement/commitment ring look like?
PL:  Our stamped rings are from Kathryn Reichert and my sweet little faux-diamond ring is from Metalicious and has a faceted piece of cut silver instead of a stone. I found both jewelers on Etsy.

TLC:  What do you think about your ring(s)?
PL:  To me, they are accessories. I don’t really sentimentally value “symbolic” things, so to me they are not representative of us or anything deeper than what they are–silver rings. I like them because they are beautiful.

TLC:  How did you and your partner decide to get married?
PL:  I decided to ask Dave to marry me when I stopped visualizing myself as separate from him. I never wanted to be without him. I got him a ring, created a book about how we met and asked him on a trip I planned to Chicago. We both cried and he said yes.

TLC:  What do you do for work?
PL:  I started Princess Lasertron in 2005 creating custom bouquets out of felt, vintage buttons, and other ephemera. I love giving my customers an heirloom-quality piece that will bring a personal dimension to their wedding and everyday lives. What I love most about my job is meeting and collaborating with unique women whose weddings are a true representation of them and their partners.
Since our early beginnings, Princess Lasertron has grown to a three-person company that serves over 150 brides each year. Our line has expanded from simple hairpieces and brooches to gowns, bouquets, diy craft kits and the Princess Lasertron brand has reached hundreds of thousands of brides through magazines and online media.

TLC:  What are you passionate about?

TLC:  Favorite joke?
