Mr. Mary Jane and I took our rings to the jeweler today. We really didn’t want to part with them, but we had a few matters to attend to.

First off, I needed my wedding band re-sized. I had the e-ring re-sized back in March, but never the wedding band. It was a bit too big, and I need that corrected. It’s a little weird wearing two rings of different sizes on one finger!!

And, speaking of two rings… not for long! I’m also having them soldered together. My wedding band is a ’half eternity’ band, and in spite of its Euro Shank design, it kept spinning around. It and the e-ring were getting all scuffed up due to the friction between them, too! Not cool. I made the decision to solder them together months ago, but I think that even if I had been unsure on our wedding day, this past week of straightening and re-straightening would have convinced me.

If you are planning to have your rings soldered together after you marry, I have some advice for you:

Do it before your wedding! Then it’ll be MUCH easier for him to put both on your finger. Mr. MJ and I had to struggle with mine on the day-of: that sucker did not want to play nice with my e-ring. And once you’re married, trust me. You won’t want to part with them (even for a short time).

Mr. Mary Jane had to part with his ring too, because we’re both having them engraved! And… it’s a surprise!

We both went to the jewelry store at the same time, but didn’t want each other to know what we were having written inside each others’ rings. Soooooo, we plugged our ears! Yes, we each took a turn at “not listening” while the other conveyed her or his message to the jeweler.

Our rings will only be gone a day or so, but we miss them already. I’m excited to see how they look with their new engravings, too!

Are you having your husband/FI’s ring engraved secretly? And will you be soldering your e-ring and wedding ring together? (Before or after the wedding?)
