He’s Putting a Ring On It

August 31st, 2010 @ 11:40 am by Mrs. Plaid

You know, every time I hear that Beyonce song now, I think of Glee, when the football players are dancing on the field. Classic!

And seriously, if you’re not watching Glee, you should be. All the cool kids are doing it ;)

OK, now on to what this post is really about. My wedding band arrived yesterday! My fiance is a good fiance and ordered mine last week. I have been a bad fiance and still have not ordered his. I will this week, I promise.

It’s perfect! It’s very dainty, has tiny little stones in it, and is super light. It took me forever to decide what kind of band I even wanted, and I ultimately chose this one because the stone settings resembled the settings on my engagement ring (where the diamonds are, anyway).

So here’s my extremely lousy attempt at being an artist. I don’t know what happened to my photography skills, but they’ve definitely gone missing.

Here’s my band and engagement ring. This is the box the band came in. Nothing special. And P.S., I seriously need to clean my engagement ring. It usually sparkles more than that.

Now here are my rings on top of this awesome Dr Pepper box; DP is our favorite type of drink. And, unfortunately, the bad habit I have yet to be able to kick. :(

This one’s for Mr. Plaid, Star Wars fan extraordinaire. I found it in his man room and thought, why not hang my rings on Darth Vader’s light saber?

Here’s the thing. When I opened the box and popped the ring on my finger (to make sure that it fit OK, obviously, and not at all because I can’t wait to wear it every day for the rest of my life), it really set in. Holy crap, I’m getting married. This is all real. The party I’ve been planning for almost a year now is actually happening. It’s happening really soon. I’m going to be someone’s wife. Weird. That’ll take some getting used to.

How’d you choose your wedding band? Did you have a moment when it really set in that you are getting married, that it’s all real?

Is that…..DR PEPPER MADE WITH REAL SUGAR??

Jealous. Fun fact: I was born in the town Dr Pepper is headquartered, and my brother was a graphic artist for them for years. I’m an addict.

That ring looks very nice. FI and I went into the jewerly store where he got my e ring and we looked at bands together. I had already decided I wanted a non diamond wedding band so I could wear it anywhere and not worry about the stones ex. painting or gardening. I currently take off my e ring when it could get messed up or really dirty. FI decided he wanted the same style as me so it was easy. We went with a plain band with a miligrain edge.
