In theory, this will be the fourth post today. :D Erm. But not really, because I have slept in between and done a full day of work and stuff. Anyways, never mind. I'm sure I'll slow down once I've gotten the foundation stuff out of the way...
We got the rings back from being sized and engraved today. It's nice to finally have proper rings and no funny 'practice' ones (which made S's finger green :D). Of course, mine is too big... When we went ring shopping it was really really hot and my fingers were obviously swollen or something. I knew the size was bigger than my normal but the saleslady insisted that it can't be any smaller... :| One day I'll learn to trust my own judgement. Don't know how much it'll cost to make the ring smaller, but in any case I'll just have to cope with it for a while since I'm leaving for England on friday and have no time to sort it out now.
Finding rings was an impossibly difficult task. I thought I had a clear idea of what I wanted, but all the more chunkier styles that I'd been thinking about looked awful on me! And each ring that I could have fallen in love with was waaay over our budget. Well, I can't help having expensive taste can I. :P It was the maid of honour who suggested I try this ring on, it wasn't something I would have even looked at myself... and as if by magic it looked really nice! I never thought 'my style' would be so traditional looking.
I've never owned diamonds of any sort before in my life. There's a few teeny tiny ones on the ring (which we can change into a massive one when S gets rich, obviously. :P) and it sparkles like mad. It's strange. I keep on glancing at my finger all the time. While waiting to get it I was really worried I'd done a hasty decision (never mind that we went to way more than 10 jewelers) but now that it's on my finger I'm very pleased. Love it. :D
