Mrs. Hot Wings's Picture
Mrs. Hot Wings, Chicago/San Diego Age and Occupation: 28, Professor Fiance's Age and Occupation: 32, Instructor Engagement Date: December 20, 2008 Wedding Date: August 2010 Venue: Ocean View Villas/Jasmine Seafood Restaurant About Me: I am a psychology grad student living in Chicago and planning my wedding to a fellow psych grad student. I am a Sunny So-Cal bred gal who trudged across the country to follow her love of psychology and ended up finding a partner in the process. I am overly passionate about anything I involve myself with. I am an activist, a foodie, a reality TV watching junkie, an over-analyzer, a photography obsesser, and am utterly cheesy to the core. This is a story of what happens when a boy and a girl meet, fall in love over academic dorkiness, and a shared love for life. We (mostly I) are planning our semi-destination wedding in my hometown of San Diego. We are excited to bring our families and friends together from across our lifespans to celebrate our future in a grand 400+ person culturally blended affair!

Bling-a-Ring-Bling :  wedding rings san diego 18 IMG_1462

I haven’t shared the hot stuff, so check it. We Hot Wings got our rings over the holiday break when we visited my familia in San Diego. We went to local Vietnamese jewelry shops—they were super budget friendly. But be ready to negotiate! Mama Hot Wings did it all for us. Mama Hot Wings has been buying her jewelry from Kim Quang since forever and a day ago, so we trusted them with this purchase, too.

Our collection is all white gold. My wedding band doesn’t sit flush to my e-ring. I had mentioned to Hot Wings BFF way back when that I wanted a ring that sat low to my finger so it wouldn’t get caught in my hair. So of course she passed that info onto Mr. Hot Wings. Well hive, a ring that sits low to the finger might not get caught in your hair, but it won’t easily sit flush to your band, either. Oh well, it happens.

You want solo shots? OK, you can have some.

I just adore how my ring looks solo. I think I might wear her solo sometimes.

It’s got diamonds around half of the ring on 3 sides and has little beads along the edges like my e-ring. I couldn’t justify having diamonds that go all the way around my finger. Luckily for me, I have fatty fingers so the ring doesn’t spin or anything.

And here’s Mr. Hot Wings’ ring. They asked if he wanted it resized a tad, but he said “no, I like it tight.” As soon as we got home, he changed his mind. Of course he would, that man! So resizing his ring is getting added back on to the To-Do List. What a poopy butt.

Aren’t they lovely together? I wore both rings home from San Diego to Chicago because I didn’t want them to get lost. **wink wink** Well, a gal’s gotta practice wearing such dainty things, right?

Have you “practiced” wearing your rings together?

Ohh, I love the diamonds around 3 sides. Great choice! And I agree about not being able to justify diamonds all the way around. I feel the same way.

I think all the rings are wonderful! I haven’t practiced yet, my FI won’t tell me where he hid my band! When I find it I will though :)

The day we picked them up from SF we wore them around the city because we figured they were safer on us! ;)

I actually found my ring when I was shopping with my mom in another town. I called the FI and he told me to snag it since it was perfect. I wore it all the way home of course and the rest of the day! :) When we got his ring in he wore it for the rest of the day too and can’t wait to wear it all the time. So exciting!

Your rings are beautiful together :)

I only practiced wearing the band at the store; it was actually different, and I can’t wait to wear it all the time.

I loved wearing my band when we were purchasing it, but then hubby hid it so I would stop wearing it around the house! What a meany-head!

I begged for him to let me try them on, and on our engage-aversary, he finally did. At that point we realized they needed to be resized, so when we took them in for resizing I wore them again for a bit. Now I know where his hiding place is, so I will periodically test them out. He knows I know where they are, but is nice enough not to change his hiding spot ;-)

I like the rings! :)
I’ve absolutely “practiced.” I figure it’s the easiest way to make sure nothing happens to it while I’ve got it out of the safe deposit box. I have to get it inspected for the warranty every 6 months, so every 5-6 months I get to wear it for a few hours. Yay! I love looking at them together. FI bought it the same day he bought my e-ring, that’s why I’ve had it so long.
We went and got FI’s ring last month. It’s titanium, so he wore it for a full day after pick-up to make sure the size would work… because you can’t resize titanium, they’d need to order a new one. So he’s “practiced,” too. :)

I totally practiced wearing my rings together… for a day, and then I had to turn it over to Mr Frenchie, so he could hold on to it at his place.

I am so inbetween a three sided ring and an infinity ring! oh i can’t decide if the extra $ is worth it. Seeing yours I am not thinking a 3 sided…!! It is gorgeous!
