Wedding Rings

A wedding ring symbolizes eternity, endlessness, and something that can not be broken. Wedding rings are given as a token of unending love for each other. Traditionally, as a symbol of strength in the marriage. Today Shawn and I finally purchased our wedding bands!! It feels so good to finally have that done and out of the way. I really want to wear mine now but I suppose I'll have to wait it out until the wedding :o) We purchased our rings at Littman Jewelers which is also where Shawn got my engagement ring as well as a few other piece of jewelery over the years.

We picked out my ring first. Shawn and I had already taken a gander a few months back so I pretty much knew what I wanted. My engagement ring is shown above.  As you can see it has diamonds down both sides so getting the right wedding band was a little tricky (especially the  diamond right in the middle that lays right on top of my finger). So I had looked at a few rings with a slight bend in them so that the two rings would not rub up against each other and causing damage to either or both of the rings. So I ring I decided on is the one ...
I love it! It's so pretty and simple it really compliments my engagement ring! I cannot wait until I get to wear it every day! :o) Unfortunately the ring that I tried on today did not fit. (not even close!) So I will get to pick my ring up on the 15th! Can't wait!!! 


Next we obviously picked out Shawn's ring. Going in we knew Shawn wanted something durable. He had been looking into a titanium ring, however when we went today their selection wasn't all that great. However we looking at rings made out of something that is called tunsted. It a strong durable metal that cannot be resized if Shawn needs his ring to be sized they would have to order him another one. (which is no biggy considering that its covered under warranty for life) So after looking at a few and trying on different ones. Shawn decided on this one...
I personally love it just as much as Shawn does! Its simple but so nice and modern. Its definitely something that I can see Shawn wearing. It matches his style well. And lucky for him they had one in the store that was his size! Shawn also can't wait to wear his! (We even practiced putting his ring on at home haha)

The wedding is getting so close and we can't wait. Before we know it, it will be October 2nd and we'll finally be husband and wife! :o)

Only 118 days until the wedding! (we'll be in the double digits soon omg!!)

Only 133 days until the honeymoon!

  1. Very beautiful rings!! I totally love yours!! And Shawn's ring is gorgeous! Sammy and I have fairly simple rings as well. Actually, they were his mom and dad's wedding bands. When his dad passed away, Sam got his wedding band. After Sam and I got married, Sam's mom gave me her wedding band seeing as she never wore it anymore. Isn't that awesome? I never had an engagement ring, just the wedding band Sammy got me. So I actually have two wedding bands that I wear. :)

    Don't blink, October will be here before you know it!!
