It's Real. It's Official.
So, yesterday I had the day off with B and we decided to get some shit done for the wedding. If what she tells me is correct (and I should actually know this for sure because I was there when it was done, except I wasn't paying as much attention as she was) we've figured out the flowers for the wedding. Of course by "we" I mean "she" and figured out I mean they're purchased, signed sealed and (all but) delivered. Which is awesome, because the less we have to deal with for the wedding later, the better.
We also worked on the whole "Jon needs to get a ring" thing yesterday and... good golly Miss Molly, we got it nailed. We had been looking on various websites at ring styles for dudes, and Titanium Era seems like just about the best place we could find to look at a variety of styles. After looking there on and off for a few months, we decided to go out to the mall and see what they have there. And they all have the same things, the same styles, and the same makers (as the other stores in the mall at least).
We saw a bunch of different styles, and only a small handful that we both liked, until we saw this one (only we saw it in Tungsten Carbide at the mall). It was simple, almost a standard classic band with just that little bit of a twist. That little something that made it stand out without screaming "OH MY GOD I'M A RING BUT I'M DIFFERENT!!!!! I liked it, she liked it... it pretty much matched her ring even though it's titanium and her's is gold... so... gosh darn it... we got it.
Well... we ordered it, and it'll be here with in 9 business days. And I'm... well... I'm really excited about it. I've never been a jewelry guy (I can't even wear a watch without trying to gnaw my arm off like a fox in a bear trap), but I am really excited about having something that proclaims to the hoards of wanton and willing women that accost me every day, "Hey ladies. I appreciate it, but I'm only window shopping these days. My balls are in a purse across town."
So... We'll see how I do with just a ring come October. I'm really looking forward to the whole thing... and we're a less than six months and counting. Sheesh... this year is flying by...
