His Ring (Part 2)

December 5th, 2009 @ 12:50 pm by Mrs. Nachos

Mr. Nachos’ ring arrived on Monday. I had it delivered to my work just to make sure someone would be around to sign for it, so I got to see it before he did, along with everyone I work with (I had to show it off, it was so shiny!). When I got home, he tried it on and (sigh of relief) it fits him perfectly.

We were worried about the fit because A) we had him sized back in January and vaguely remembered his size, and B) you are supposed to order a comfort fit band a half size smaller. We decided to take matters into our own hands and figure out his size ourselves. We printed out the ring sizing charts off of eBay and compared my ring to the sizes it gave. We figured out the picture was about 3 sizes off, so according to that, he was a 9.

From there we assembled the little paper finger sizer thingy…

and again, decided he was still coming out a 9. It was pretty humorous and elementary and I wouldn’t necessarily recommend using a paper sizer to figure out what you are, but apparently it worked this time!

So, now that we know it’s a keeper, I am allowed to post a pic, although the picture doesn’t quite do it justice…

We had it engraved to say the wedding date and USVI (US Virgin Islands).

Is your FI having his ring engraved? What will it say?

I like that ring a lot! Ring shopping is one of the many, many things still left on our to-do list.

Very shiny, I like it! We’re going to engrave our bands, but not sure what yet.

That ring is beautiful! We started talking about his ring tonight and he’s stated that he didn’t want “something shiny”… that’s it. That’s ALL I have to go on.

I had my FI’s ring engraved with our childhood nicknames “Doony loves Fat Rat”. He hasn’t seen his ring yet…he will see it when I put it on his finger for our wedding.

Ooh, what a neat ring! I’d love to get Mr. Parfait’s ring engraved, but I’m so indecisive that it probably won’t happen for a long time.

That’s a cool ring. We decided not to have our rings engraved. I have a feeling he’s going to lose his eventually, so I didn’t want to spend the extra money. ;)

@Allie: Haha love it!

We had ours engraved with our wedding date. We weren’t into anything complicated, but memory problems seem to run in his family, so we joked that even when he got old and forgot things, he’d never forget our wedding date.

Wow, I really like his ring! It’s so much more interesting than the standard plain band.
