Day 50, Amanda and Ron







I am not currently wearing my ring because my fingers have gotten larger. As you can see, dh's ring needs to be repaired. Dh was working on a car one night and something slipped slamming into his ring and now its quite bent out of shape.
When we went looking for rings I knew I didn't want a diamond. It had nothing to do with money, I just didn't want a stone protruding from my ring. I knew a stone for me meant snags and lost stones, I wanted a band and Ron agreed. We went looking for rings one day and these were the first or second we looked at. We loved them right away, but knew we should not jump at the first set we saw, so we kept looking. But we would always come right back to these. We knew those were our rings, it had to be. So we found them at another store for 1/2 the price and spent the next 5 months paying 25.00 here and 50.00 there. Sometimes I would have them bring the rings out of the safe when I came in to make a payment, they were always happy to. I made the final payment just days before our wedding... it felt amazing. Our first TRUE pruchase made toether and the meaning could not be more significant. I love our rings. In fact dh and I decided to have them repaired/resized this weekend so we can wear them again. Yay!
