I picked it out originally because I thought if I had to hold out for the one I wanted I would never get it!! To give the background...FI did an impromptu proposal without a ring so we went ring shopping together after the fact. It had been 3 months after the proposal and I still didn't have a ring. I found a beautiful ring in a store, it fit so I walked out with it on my finger! I love the ring still...I just wish I had something more (maybe that's selfish!). To top it off it is an odd shape & requires a custom wedding band. Well, because we are buying a house (our first house!) so close to the wedding date we cannot afford to get a custom one made. The plan is to get a simple, plain wedding band for the time being & get my custom band for our first year anniversary. Sure...no prob. But is it even worth getting the custom one done if I don't really care for the ring anymore? I did pick out an amazing band by the way though. It is a sapphire & diamond for only $300!! All stones are recessed in the band and it is very sparkly!! The stones are only tiny, but I love the sapphires! Not exactly plain one like we originally planned, but it will look great as just a ring on another finger if we decide to do the custom thing!
I would never tell FI any of this...but it feels good to actually get it off my chest! I have never even told my MOH or mom this!!
PS. I'm sorry this is kind of petty when there are people with so much worse problems going on in their lives.
