wedding brain

What is going to be my default topic of conversation once we’re married? I hung out with a friend I rarely see yesterday, before crashing another friend’s family function (to help her stay sane), and I realized that in both situations where there was an awkward pause that I defaulted to wedding related stuff. Oh well. I guess I’ll just have to talk about the weather and current events (btw, that pillar of black smoke last night was SCARY, and I’m not too keen on Boulder Creek flooding either).

In other, wedding related news, I met with Ben in downtown Boulder for lunch and to go visit the jewelry store. We’d dropped off my shiny on Saturday to be polished so that it would be extra sparkly for our engagement photos tomorrow (more news on that later). While we were there we learned that our jeweler sources all his gold from a reclaimed/recycled gold company! Yey! And picked out wedding bands. Ben had originally wanted to get matching bands, but I think that’s stilly if it’s not what looks best so he looked at others and found a dude rind for himself. Very classic.

I think it’s funny that my ring looks so much bigger than his in these photos, but if you can read the tiny text and see that I wear a 4.5 and he wears an 8 you can see that they’re different sizes. I’m pretty sure that my little 2.5 mm band will fit inside his 5 mm band. But my ring looks so pretty with my purple-stoned shiny, though I’m not sure I’ll wear them together all of the time. I may also have to have my shiny let out a little because it’s currently size 4.25 which fits perfectly by it’s self but gets kinda snug feeling when I’m wearing another ring with it.

Now we have to decide what, if anything we want engraved inside the rings. I was thinking “ani l’dodi” in one ring and “v’dodi li” in the other, and 10.10.10, but Ben’s not sold on the idea. Or just DJR + BKS 10.10.10 if we can’t decide on something else. There’s not going to be much room in my ring, and it’s going to have some damned tiny micro script in it. I feel sorry for the engraver!
