Our wedding rings arrived!! Instead of taking yet ANOTHER trip to San Fransisco to pick them up, we decided to have the jewelers ship the rings to us. (yea, waking up early this morning to a knock on my door so I can sign for the rings was NOT pretty..I think I grumbled a few words and went back to bed lol).
Picking out our rings was a little bit of a challenge. Since Matt plans on wearing his even out in the field (overseas, during training here, etc) we had to find one that wasn't super shiny (reflective wear is not a smart thing to wear when you are trying to keep hidden from your enemy) but not ugly. We compromised on one we both really liked and it's a strong metal. My engagement ring is a little different in the fact the band isn't completely smooth and circular..it's almost as if two thin sparkley bands crisscrossed over eachother on both sides of the center stone (think: infinity symbol). I didn't really like the matching wedding band that Tacori had for it, so it was a pain finding a circular wedding band that held the same feel/vibe as my engagement ring (my ring has almost like an old world fairytale feel to it..ALMOST antique-y yet modern). After a couple trips to San Fran I finally picked which one matched the best and would also look very pretty by itself if for some reason I wasn't able to wear my engagement ring (I normally don't wear my ring to the gym).
Anyway, Matt just got home and now we are going to open this package that has been staring at me and check out our rings! Fingers crossed the sizes are perfect and no stones are missing!! :)
