    Guess who else finally got rings so we could be legit?


    Woop woop! Officially engaged (Already were, but for the sake of looking good in front of other people we got some rings so we can be public about it now!)

    Tam and I don't see the point in expensive rings when we're both kinda careless and I break everything, plus why spend that much on a shiny thing when it could go to better things?
    That said, we went to a clothing shop I really love around here, and I was telling her every time we go there, they have something magical that you need. She happened to find a Dream Theater shirt (Her favorite band, well, easily top 5, she can't pick favorites) and it was the shirt for her favorite album, AND it was her size! It was hanging there on display in its splendor and I said "See Tam? They always have something specifically for you when you come here!" and she believed in the magic ;D

    That's actually related to this story because we went up front and they had a huge bowl full of sterling silver (The only cheap-but-still-classy metal I haven't broken yet lol) rihgs in assorted sizes for $10 each but half off.
    PERFECT! We found some that match without being identical and fit, and then laughed at how people think you have to put a huge down payment on this sort of thing when we got ours for less than dinner.

    Some people might think little sterling silver unisex rings from a clothes shop aren't perfect, and those people aren't us <3

            I have a shiny pricey one and so does he lol! I was just poking fun at you though - as long as you are both happy and love each other that's all that matters.

            Congrats again!

                I'm squarely in the simple rings-boat too so I feel you! Congratulations

                It'll take a lot more than words and guns
                A whole lot more than riches and muscle
                The hands of the many must join as one
                And together we'll cross the river

                  I made love to him only twice, she thought and looked at the man laying asleep beside her. And yet still it is as if we have been together forever, as if he has always known my life, my soul, my body, my light, my pain

                    Congrats!!
                    My rings are pretty simple too, and handmade. I'm not a flashy person. My wife is the one with the bling! haha

                      Congratulations! There is no "right" way of doing things, only the way that works for you guys, and it does seem like you're on the same page
                      So, here you are
                      too foreign for home
                      too foreign for here.
                      Never enough for both.
