The Bling

This past weekend T and I took a big step and purchased our wedding bands.  Going into it, we thought we were going to be paying thousands of dollars, but we were both pleasantly surprised.

We decided to buy our rings from Fred Meyer - which is where T bought my engagement ring. Neither T nor myself knew what to expect before we went. I thought I would want a plain white gold band , and T didn't even want to wear a ring (don't worry, dear readers, we reached a compromise).

I tried a few different rings on just to see - I did not like any of the "solitaire enhancers" and I also didn't like any of the bands that had a lot of diamonds. So I tried a few plain white gold bands. I didn't like those either.  So, we gave up on me for a bit before I got frustrated and switched to men's rings for T. 

T tried a few plain white gold bands, and they were ok, but he wasn't crazy about any of them. So, I got him to try a white gold band with some texture etched into it. He actually liked that one - it is simple and subtle, and a good fit for T.



Back to women's rings.  The salesman brought a few more rings with diamonds, one that had prong set diamonds, and another that had diamonds on the edges, and a third with subtle channel set diamonds. T really like the one with the channel set diamonds, and so did I.

So there you have it. T and I successfully bought our wedding bands with little to no unncessary fuss :)
