Is it funny that with every big "to do" checked off the list, everything feels more REAL?
Well we bought our wedding bands yesterday. After 15 months of searching high and low, locally and online, we FINALLY found a band with diamonds set the same way as in my e-ring... ANd FH decided on the Scott Kay band HE wanted, so we got them yesterday. YAY!!!! (Arrrgh! I can't believe I have to wait 4 weeks to wear it!!!!)
Mine is a 3/4 carat, 18K white gold, semi-eternity band (there's a small section, about 1/4" wide at the bottom, where there's no diamonds, so it can be sized later on, if need be).

And his; It's from the Scott Kay "Sparta" line. I love that the carving is on the inside as well.

Bling Bling. Very nice indeed. :D
Maybe the Cat saw the Shiny Shiny and wants "Mummy" to get a "Bling" Collar.
I wish Both Yourself and Your FH well to wear them.
BTW Love the Nails.

Beautiful rings - I love the eternity band look! Isn't it so exciting to get your wedding bands? We just picked up our bands 2 weeks ago, and I've been so anxious to wear mine (just 3 more weeks for me to wait) :D
BTW, the kitty paw is so cute!!

I love eternity bands and yours is gorgeous. Your FH's band is very manly. I like that the carving is on the inside as well. You don't see that very often.
I love them both!! So very exciting to get the rings. I think that was the most exciting (and real) planning part!

Oh thank you! No, no, my own nails won't grow at all. I actually JUST got acrylics (pink and whites) put back on on Saturday (my MoH and I went for girl's day... nails, pedicures and... um... tattoos...well for her anyway :grinhappy:). The whites are a big "big" for my taste just yet, but that's why I wanted to go ahead and get them done NOW, so I'll have time for a fill-in before the wedding (by which point the whites will have grown out to a slightly more natural position :lol: )

Well they look real to Me. :winktongue:
Mine are a little longer than that and are My Own. Typing with them is starting to be a nightmare. But so far i've held out from cutting them shorter because My Wedding isn't far away either.
Knowing My Luck i'll break One at work and then have to cut the rest to match. I did that a couple of weeks ago doing the Gardening.
Just need to book in for a Professional Manicure a couple of Days before the Big Day.

Your bands are so beautiful! I know you cant wait to wear yours. I am wearing mine since my engagement, its tradition here to wear the engagement ring and the band in left hand while you are engaged and after the wedding I will put the band in the right hand ;)

Hmm... I wonder if I could convince FH to follow this tradition (just so I can go ahead and wear it NOW! :rofl:)

So I still keep taking it out and peeking at it, and trying it on... I won't put it on WITH the e-ring (don't want to jinx anything) but I did have to get a pic of them together... *swoon* I love it!

Yay, congratulations on getting the wedding bands. Thats so exciting. Your wedding ban is absolutley gorgeous and it fits perfectly with your E-ring. My E-ring came with the wedding band, they interlock with each other, I already got FH wedding band. I got a little excited but he found THE ring so I bought it right then and there. LOL!

They look great! We had to keep the rings at the jeweler because he both KNEW we would try them on and want to wear them all the time!
