wedding band = pain in my a$$


Recommended Posts

i've been wearing my engagement ring for about a year now. during this time, i have looked for wedding bands every few months. I'd go to a few stores, look around, try some things on, get discouraged and vow to leave it alone for a while.

 

Well last weekend I was due for a wedding band shopping trip. I don't think my e ring is meant to go with a flippin band! Plus could all of the stores have all of the same stuff? Would it kill someone to carry something that is less "normal" IE all i really want to try on is a small band of micro pave set blue sapphires. Think I could find this? Yes, I would. Can I find this? No way Jose!

 

So, it's pretty much decided that i'm going to have to custom order my wedding band. But how the H E double hockey sticks to you custom order soemthing when you don't know if you like how it will turn out!

 

UGH. Sorry just had to get if off my chest.

Jenn (Hopels) was telling us at the BDW Philly get-together that when she went to the jewelers, she found the ring she wanted and then the jeweler used a blue marker to color the ring to show her how it would look with the sapphires. It sounds weird, but that may be an option just so you could get an idea of how it will turn out.

have you tried a ring in the style you want, but with diamonds? Just to get an idea if that is the setting you want? I originally wanted a band similiar to what you want, but with blue diamonds, ahh, they're so pretty, but ended up going with regular diamonds.

 

I think your band sounds very similar to mine, but I only got diamonds halfway around, not eternity. I got it from bluenile, if that helps, I think they may have one with sapphires.

When I was looking for yellow diamond bands, the jewelers used a yellow highlighter and colored in th stones so I could see the color. It gave a semi-real impression of what it woud look like.

 

But I thought I remembered you posting before that you had found ittoo? Am I completely mistaken, or did you change your mind?

 

I have to agree though that all the rings are the same everywhere....

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
