Officially... Married???

For Valentines Day, Briant got me a wedding band!!! I'm so excited, I've wanted one for a while now. Why haven't we gotten one before now, you ask? Well, let me explain.
When he got my ring, I loved it the way it was and I was satisfied without a band for several reasons.

#1 I hadn't really made up my mind what would look good with it. A small 2mm band with no diamonds or a bigger one with diamonds set in it.
#2 I wasn't sure if I wanted to cover up the pretty design that the setting already had.


#3 It's a three stone diamond... which signifies to me; Yesterday, Today & Forever. Wouldn't that just be self explanatory?

Well, at first I wore my ring everywhere; to work, cleaning, etc. Then I started accidentally knocking it on stuff and getting it really dirty and that quickly changed my mind about always having it on. This is when having a wedding band crossed my mind and started sounding like a good idea. Plus whenever I did wear it, everyone always asked when I was getting married or how long I'd been engaged.

Like I said, I started thinking about it a while ago, and went to look a couple of times but the price and selection always scared me away. Mostly because I was still contemplating (#1 reason above) what I really liked.

Well, in the end Briant solved all my woes. He went shopping and picked it out for me (without me knowing might I add... he's very good at surprises!). I like this method, then I don't have to worry. Plus, Briant has always had excellent taste in jewelry, so I trust his opinion whole heartedly! Don't you agree?

Here is the band all by itself. Me likes!

He did a great job. I have a very similar ring. I have thought about getting a band, but never have. I always thought it would take away from the ring. But now after seeing yours, I just might ask for one.

That is so exciting. I totally agree about the whole liking how it looks without the band. When Cameron put the band on my finger with my engagement ring I was a little torn.
Your ring is beautiful.
Good job Briant.
