Wedding Blog

We bought my wedding ring today… and I may or may not be wearing mine while I type this (ssssh, the mister’s in the other room)!

I mean, I HAVE TO in order to blog about it, right? How else will I describe it to you with the accuracy and detail that you expect of me? I’M DOING IT FOR YOU. {That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.}

We took a break from renovating our bathroom (more on that later) to play hooky. We took a dance lesson (more on that later, too), stuffed ourselves with food, hit Best Buy and Sears… and while we wandering the mall to avoid coming home to more work, we stumbled into a jewelry store that was going out of business.

Take a moment to understand the significance here. Jewelry. Store. Clearance. 80%. Discount. Y’all know I’m thrifty (fine, fine, cheap) from the fact that I didn’t even want to pay David’s Bridal prices for a dress, so you have an inkling of the joy that filled my heart.

We looked at a plain gold band, a simple diamond band, an eternity band and a pave band with diamonds on all three sides (did I mention the 80% discount?), and we decided that the sparkly simple band looked best with my engagement ring.

While I wanted an eternity band, my desire for an engraved message (more on that later) won out. Also, I like the sparkliness of the band when I wear it alone, which I expect to do for the first little while after we have kids. And did I mention that it was on sale? Warms this cheese’s heart.

{Mr. Cheese just walked in and had a whole conversation with me — all while my hands were practically in his face resting on my laptop — and didn’t notice. Score. Um, except that now I’m tempted to see how long I can wear it before he notices. A little nutty? Maybe!}

It looks sort of like this (I can’t take a picture of it without totally blowing my secret, so I’ll have to do it when the mister isn’t here):

We also started a registry at Williams-Sonoma, decided on our wedding party, and I made my first DIY project this weekend (more on all of that later).

{I thought I got caught with the ring when he looked over my shoulder at my screen and smiled, but he was making fun of me for being a blogging addict instead.}

Yippee! Anyone wanna bet on how long I can wear this thing before he notices? And c’mon, tell the truth: did you secretly wear your wedding ring before the big day? You did, didn’t you? C’mon, you can tell Miss Cheese.
