Mr. Cucumber Sammie and I started the search for our wedding bands a long time ago. We could have been our normal selves and put this off for another couple of months, but there were some jewelry “events” we wanted to attend. You know, the “events” where they lure you in with 20% off and cake! We are suckers for cake and discounts. Wedding bands were something we didn’t budget a whole lot for, so we wanted to take advantage of all the opportunities to save.

There were quite a few events coming up that we wanted to attend, but first to the research mobile to see if we were really getting a good deal! I knew exactly what kind of ring I wanted, so my search should be easy.

The problem with the research mobile is that sometimes the GPS gets a little wonky and you end up off course. Also known as I totally get distracted looking at shiny things. Originally I thought it was silly given our budget to try and get an eternity band. But…

But while the simple band is a classic, it seemed a little too plain. This is the point when things really went downhill. So many rings, so little time. Maybe I want a rose gold ring.

I love the two-tone look of this ring, and it is simple enough to be classic but definitely not boring. I don’t know how the brushed metal would go with my shiny engagement ring. I am sure it is a stunner, though. Another ring I thought about has certainly been making the rounds on the interweb lately. The fingerprint ring!

The designer takes an imprint of your FI’s fingerprint and uses it to create the design on the inside of the ring. I heart the sentiment, but am not crazy about the outside. Unless I took my ring off all the time and showed people (which I am totally not above doing), nobody would know how special of a ring it is.

Decisions, decisions. You will just have to stay tuned. Did you get overwhelmed by ring choices?

PS: Mr. Cucumber Sammie had no idea what he wanted. All he said was he wanted plain and would get a “feeling” about a ring when he put it on. Obviously that leaves me with nothing to show you. So selfish!
