Perfect Pairing

Yes, I found the perfect wedding band for me yesterday.  I never thought I would ever describe something as being perfect, but the process of finding this ring and the outcome was indeed absolutely perfect. 

Chris and I have actually been ring shopping for several months now.  Now as you know, I'm not a fussy girl.  I don't need big diamonds, princess jewels.....that's not my style.  As Chris likes to describe it, "We like understated elegance."

When Chris was shopping for the engagement ring, I specifically told him not to get me a diamond ring.  I don't like it, especially with the rock sticking out.  I think it looks more like a sharp dangerous object than anything else.  Plus, I'm a practical girl; I do dishes, I clean the house....there's no way I can wear a diamond and feel comfortable doing housework.  I know lots of other people do, but for me, I rather have something I don't need to worry about too much.

So when Chris proposed to me, he presented me with a very simple ring.  And I love it.  Just exactly how I like it.

With the wedding ring, Chris wanted me to at least have some small diamonds on the band...and I think it looks pretty too.  So we've settled on this one (above).  The story with this ring is that we actually saw something similar (though not as pretty) during Christmas when the store was running its Christmas sale.  We didn't get the ring at the time because I wasn't 100% sure on it.  So we waited. 

With the sales now over , Chris and I have been looking in a lot of places for something comparable.  We didn't find anything and we actually decided that if we couldn't find anything before the wedding in June, then that would have to be.  

Then, a miracle happened.  We stumbled into this store yesterday that we haven't heard of before and we picked out the perfect ring................and here's the best part.................with the perfect price.  It's actually even less expensive than the one we saw before. 

I loved it.  It was perfect.  It felt right.  The store was nice, the sales lady was nice.....it just felt right.  So we got it and I am very very happy about my ring.  I never thought I would ever find the perfect ring....you know, because I'm very picky and all...but I did. 

Chris was willing to pay anything for the ring....but with it being even less expensive than the previous one.......it was just perfect! =) =)
