Written Whispers

Yes, we’ve finally bought them! *jumps up and down with joy*

Okay, we’ve been engaged for nearly two years now and I’ve known all along that we’d buy rings eventually when we had the money so I’ve been waiting patiently for my Hunny to mention it, all the while secretly drooling over online pictures of my dream rings like a teenager over bikini models. *grin* Anyways, so a couple of days ago he finally mentioned going out and looking at rings!

It made me so happy. I mean even though I really, really couldn’t hardly wait to go get my ring and have something to show people when I tell them “I’m getting married” so I don’t sound like the girls I knew in high school- the ones who were ‘always’ about to get married to their latest boyfriend whom they’d only been with about a week or two. Disgusting. I can’t stand girls like that who go from one guy to the next with that level of commitment. Anyway, as I was saying- even though I really didn’t want to wait I tried not to mention rings unless my Hunny did first. Why? Because I know he wants to do the man thing and be the one to provide for me without any prodding. Just like I want to do the girl thing and giggle like a maniac right now.

So, we planned an outing for today. Some bad stuff happened yesterday but Hunny took care of it telling the people this was a special day him and I and that he didn’t want anything to ruin it. I can’t help but feel pride over the way he takes are of things for me sometimes, it’s just so sweet. I would have stepped right into the problem to try and resolve it which would have led several thoughts, talks, and emotions that I really didn’t need to deal with today. Everything is just too happy for that kind of crap.

We went to city, down town first, and looked around only to find in dismay that my finger is about the size of a twelve year olds. So- we headed cautiously to the mall. Hunny had summed up the prices for all three rings together to come out just a little over $1000 and we weren’t looking forward to having to go to one of the big jewelry stores.

Okay, now before I tell you the next but I should probably explain something. I don’t like Diamonds. They’re common, expensive, overrated, and just not my thing. My favorite stones are Amethyst and Moon stone. Now, my Hunny, the uber sweetheart he is, wants to buy me the very best we can afford. We haven’t been arguing per se, more or less verbally poking each other on the subject but I’ve refused to allow him to buy me a Diamond or the most expensive thing we can afford. Finally my Hun relented a bit and told the lady when we got to the store that we were looking for Amethyst.

The lady, a really nice vibrant woman with blonde curls and gold rings adorning most of her fingers, explained to us that Amethyst while beautiful was a generally softer stone. I know a lot about gems but I didn’t know this so I asked her a lot of questions and then she showed me this absolutely stunning Sapphire ring!

It was perfect. Nice and tiny, dainty with a small stone and two even more tiny Diamonds on the side. Not enough to be overbearing in the slightest. It also had a thin band which made me really happy. Like I said I have very, very small fingers. Size 3 and a quarter to be precise. Then Hunny and I picked out two plain silver bands, one for me and and one for him. It was awesome. Neither of us thought it was going to be that quick and painless. I swear we weren’t in there for more fifteen minutes.

In total it cost us about $530.80, a very nice price compared to our estimate and the fact that yesterday- well, lets just say some money we’d been counting on having because naught but a figment. So, a very, very happy day. I promise to put pictures up as soon as my rings come back- they’re being resized right now because no shop will ever ‘make’ wedding rings in children’s sizes. :D

I’m so happy!

Even better news…

…wait. I think I’m going to make that a separate post. Why? Because I need to go run around the house screaming and giggling for a bit. I have a ring!!! *dances* And my Hunny has a ring too it’s so wonderful. I can hardly sit still right now. This morning while I was waiting for my Hun to get out of the shower so we could go I paced around the whole house with fantasies in my head and trying not to sing ‘too’ loud.
