Bling in da house!

When I called at 4 p.m. this afternoon, they hadn't done anything at all with the plain gold bands yet, but they promised to do their best to have them ready. When we got there at 8:10, they still weren't ready, but by 8:45 p.m., 15 minutes after closing, they were finally ready! We each ceremonially paid for the other's ring, wrapped them up in a wooden and silk box, and came home, sat on the couch, unpacked them, and put them on each other. It's hard to tell from the picture, but Wilbert's (right) is white gold and mine (left) is yellow gold. They have two inset diamonds, represening us as individuals, and one large diamond in the gap, representing that together, we are greater than we are alone, and we complete each other. It was a beautiful night in our exciting adventure together. We'll use them as engagement rings (right hand) until the wedding, then have them polished, engraved with names and date, and made ready for the wedding next June. After the wedding, we'll wear them on our left hands in the tradition of Wilbert's catholic family. Ik hou van je lieverd, en ik ben hartstikke blij dat ik de rest van mijn leven met je door mag brengen!
