With this ring...

The rings are done! It took two tries, but they are perfect. I did my best to take pics with my camera using the macro setting, and I forgot to clean my engagement ring before taking the photos, but I think they turned out pretty good. If you look closely you can see the camera reflection in his ring.

Each ring is engraved, his reads "Baby it's fact" and our wedding date, mine reads "our love is true" -- I tried to take pictures of the engraving, mine didn't turn out, but the pic of his is okay. The choice of words comes from our first dance song "Baby it's Fact" by Hellogoodbye.

There are quite a few people who think I am strange for wanting sapphires in my wedding band, saying that it "wasn't meant to be" when the band was made wrong the first time; so, I'm hoping these pictures will show everyone just how amazing the two rings look together.

I love this look so much and I can't believe it is mine! I hope that does not sound too materialistic, but I have never owned anything like this before. This is by far the most amazing piece of jewelry I've ever seen or owned!

Wedding bands are ready...not!

When we ordered the engagement ring I asked for diamonds and sapphires in the band. We set it up so that my fh would pick up the ring and I wouldn't get to see it until he proposed. So, when he proposed I was shocked to see that my ring had no sapphires in it! We discussed it and decided that it looked beautiful the way it was and that I could get sapphires in the wedding band. So, I went today to pick up our wedding bands... and no sapphires! Again! Ugh. The jeweler promptly apologized after remembering that we talked about the sapphires for over an hour. It is a custom ring and it will need to be recast, but luckily they still have the mold so it will only take a week or two this time. The funny thing is that the ring without the sapphires is worth $200 more than we paid, and he thinks it might be tough to sell because it is a size 4 1/2. He is going to engrave our rings for free to help "make up" for the mistake. Our first dance song is "Baby it's Fact" by HelloGoodbye. So, we will have our rings engraved with...

His Ring: 08.09.08 Baby its fact My Ring: our love is true

The date won't fit on mine, but I think it is cute that combined our rings will have the chorus of the song and our wedding date. :-)
