The story of Mr. Sunbeam’s ring, in his own words. “On the one year anniversary of our engagement I was surprised with a ring of my very own.

A few months back we looked around for our wedding bands, at the time it was just another thing to cross off the list. I am by no means a man of sparkle and fancy, so I was never that excited to pick out a piece of mannery. However, our first visit to the jeweler was promising. I saw a ring I liked, maybe enough to wear for the rest of forever. The problem was, it was just out of our price range, so we left the store without it.

Over the next month or so we stopped in a few times to look at it and try it on, but we never walked out with it. It was still a struggle to for me to spend money that much money to bejewel my hand. More time passed and it was May. On the anniversary of our engagement, Miss Sunbeam surprised me by taking me to the jeweler to get the ring. She had wanted to purchase it as a surprise and give to me like I had given her a ring one year ago, but the ring could not easily be, resized so they talked her out of ordering it without my hand present.

Each ring is forged to order in the Mt. Doom of Switzerland, so it took four weeks to arrive. Most importantly, we were told if I bang it up in the first two years, the Swiss will refinish it for free and if my fingers ever plump, their trolls will reforge it.”

Can anyone spot a LOTR fan?? I’m was so sad I didn’t get to spring the ring on him for our anniversary, but he was still surprised when we ended up at the jewelry store after a nice celebratory brunch, but at least he won’t be stuck with a ring that doesn’t fit! Now if only I could find a wedding band for myself.

Did you present your FI with his ring in a special way?
