The Ring Finger

We are getting ever so close to the big day almost approaching the 6 month mark. Its hard to believe it is coming so fast. One thing I am excited about buying are the wedding bands. Dan and I went to look at some styles a few months back. This was to help firm up the budget and to get an idea out there. The jeweler told us to come back and purchase around the 4 month mark and a little earlier if we want any special order bands.

I'm pretty sure what style I want. It is a ring with a couple diamonds in the top part of the band. I feel excited to have a ring that I don't have to wear around my neck during the day. I do still want it to have some flair otherwise I might get bored looking at a plain band. While I'm not a jewelry wearer I have to admit I have gotten very used to my engagement ring. I know once I get the wedding band I won't have any adjustment period for that. In fact I'm excited to not take it off ever. I forever will be linked to Dan and my marriage to him.

Now lets talk about him, shall we. Dan is a guy and like many guys the wedding band is the first piece of jewelry they have ever really owned. I mean no one these days gets a class ring or at least not to wear. I didn't even consider getting one and I'm pretty certain Dan doesn't have one either. So when we were looking at bands Dan got a little overwhelmed with this uncomfortable band of metal on his finger. It was effecting the way his fingers naturally touched and you could tell he was uncomfortable. It was funny seeing him continue to comment that he wanted an even smaller band and less material over and over again. I finally told him he needed to take time to get used to it and that it doesn't happen immediately. Needless to say it didn't take him long to realize that this little band around the finger can also be considered a toy. Or at least something always there that you can move and take off and put on constantly. I think everything will work out and I just hope he doesn't lose it while playing with it. I play with my constantly and totally notice when it is not there.

I'm glad that Dan and I can both enjoy our bands and I am looking forward to purchasing them. It will be the most solidifying purchase to date. Everything else is for that day only. This band will be present our entire lives and will be the one symbol that connect Dan and I together. Only one temptation that Dan already brought to my attention. When can we start to wear them. I think he doesn't want to wait until the wedding. I told him no way can he start before then. I guess its good he is so eager to wear it.
