Wedding Band

We've finally purchased Kelly a beautiful wedding band. Since we were married in 2005, we have been wearing posie rings that we purchased on a Christmas trip to Colonial Williamsburg. They are made of sterling silver and are quite lovely. We've always known that we would buy each other rings that were a little more "substantial" when we could afford it and (most importantly) when we found the "right" rings.

We kept going back and forth about whether we wanted to have the same rings or different. What it came down to in the end is that I wanted diamonds and, while she did too, not with the same bling that I wanted.

Kelly bought me a beautiful diamond band for Christmas this year. While she was shopping for it, she found a ring that she loved for herself...but when we went back to purchase it, they had sold it and didn't have another!!! So we've been looking. Trying to find something similar that Kelly loves as much as that one.

We never found it.

Yesterday, on a whim, we stopped in at the jewlery store and wouldn't you know it...they HAD THE RING! After about 10 minutes of thinking, we decided to buy it. It's absolutely beautiful...and so incredibly Kelly. It's a feminine ring, without being girly. It's beautiful, without being showy. It's shiny without being flashy. It's diamonds, without being blingy. It's perfect.

I'll get some pictures of our rings tonight and post them soon!
