It must be a popular time for this.
My e-ring is gone being engraved, since my wedding band is a 2/3 eternity and doesn’t have space for any engraving. I miss my precious.
Miss Plumeria and Bluebell–I feel your pain! I’m afraid when I go to class tomorrow the girl who sits next to me will notice my naked hand and wonder if something is amiss in the Blueberry household.
Since my e-ring band is pretty narrow, I can only fit a few characters on either side of the solitaire setting. So we’re getting “ego amo te” and “5.25.07″ on my ring (one phrase on either side of my solitaire setting) and “5.25.07 te amo” on Mr. Blueberry’s. Since his is a plain ol’ band he could fit a ton of words on there if he wanted to, but we wanted to keep it parallel.
Want to hear the story behind our engraving? OK I’ll tell you. 
I’ve taken several years of Spanish, and frequently tell Mr. Blueberry “te amo,” which is Spanish for “I love you” (like you say to a person you’re in love with–it’s “te quiero” if you want to say you love reading, or cats, or salsa dancing, or whatever). Mr. Blueberry has taken just as many years of Latin and tells me “ego amo te” so that’s what we’re putting on my ring. So every time we look at our rings, we can imagine each other saying our special phrase for “I love you.” Aww…
At least it’s better than our other special phrase for “I love you”: “wubboo.” No, really. We say that. But we’re not quite sure it’s engraving-worthy.
Do you and your FI/DH/SO have a special phrase for “I love you”?

Share this post: So Lonely Without You
I went thru this a few months ago (we engraved early just to get it out of the way)..my wedding band is an eternity band & didn’t have any room for engraving either..so I was without my ring for 2 days (but I felt sooo weird w/o it)…We are getting married on July 7, 2007 and we choose Jackpot!! 07.07.07 for our engraving…
I recently had my ring sized (yes I was engaged for over a year before I got it sized because I didn’t want to part with it). Everyone was laughing at me because I looked so glum leaving the store without my e-ring. The jeweler promised it would be done by 6pm and as soon as 5:50pm rolled around I made Fi call him! lol But that whole, every other minute, I would feel for my ring with my thumb and gasp because I forgot it was at the jewelers and thuoght I lost it! lol
Ummm, I hate to admit this. We say “I lovie you” because he calls me “lovie”.
I speak French, so when we first got together, Chris learned to say “I miss you” in French: “Tu me manques.” Before we lived together, we would always be sure to call each other when we got home after leaving the other’s house. He would tell me “Tu me manques” on the phone all the time. I might put that in my wedding band.
Our other one is so silly it’s embarrassing. I have a habit (he says it’s cute, thankfully) of clapping with excitement whenever something really good happens - just a little flutter of claps, not full-on audience applause like you do after a show. Chris thinks it’s funny so if I start clapping about something he’ll laugh and say, “How excited are you? Show by clapping.” And he won’t change the subject until I clap again. Now sometimes if I say I love him, he’ll say, “How much do you love me? Show by clapping.” And I have to clap A LOT for that, of course. So I’m kind of thinking we should engrave “Show by clapping!” in his ring!
It actually started back in HS…and we still use it. If you mouth the words: Elephant Shoes it looks like you are saying I love you.
Sometimes I’ll look at him across a room and I’ll see his lips moving saying “elephant shoes.” Even more embarssing we say it out loud sometimes.
lol - I say “I WUV YOU LOVIE DOVE!” hahahah he’d be so embarrased if I told his friends I call him that :-p
I’ve had to let go of my e-ring twice for cleaning and sizing. I have small silver ring (that I’ve had for-ever!) that I wear on my ring finger instead. I don’t feel naked, I don’t panic that I’ve lost my ring, and I didn’t get a single question about my relationship status.
I highly recommend this solution!
Like Vic, I had to have a different ring on my finger so I wouldn’t have that “something’s missing” sensation. Of course, my e-ring is white gold and the one I wore in to work was yellow, so my cubemate noticed, but there weren’t any comments that made me nuts.
Our special “I love you” is either the sign language version (also Spider-man’s webshooting gesture… we’re geeks) or a wink across the room.
hmmmm we don’t have a special phrase, but i always tell him that he’s my best friend! i love to harass mr. bee. 
Yes I feel you w/ the nakedness. Unfortunately for me it will be quite a while. (It’s already BEEN quite a while too!) But anyway… if anyone has thought anything, they haven’t said so to me! 
I guess we’re prosaic ’cause we just say “I love you!”
I wrote this on Miss Kiwi’s recent blog about engraving, but ours is “mahna mahna” from the Muppet Show.
