No pictures, no fun

This past weekend Matt and I attended a friend of ours wedding. Thursday evening I texted a friend of mine and asked her if she would take some pictures of us before the wedding. She said yes. I believe I was strapless bra shopping when I texted her.

When I got home the following conversation took place.

Me: "We're going to do something before the wedding, you're probably not going to like it, but I don't want to hear any arguing."

Matt: "What!"

Me: "We're getting our pictures taken before the wedding by *insert friend's name here*.

Matt: "What, no."

Me: "Yes"

Matt: "But we just got our pictures taken."

Me: "Uh no, when."

Matt: "That time we were supposed to wear blue or purple and your mom had your aunt take our pictures."

Me: "That was 2 years ago."

Matt: *Points to pictures on the wall* "What about all those?"

Me: "Those are from our wedding, which was three years ago and the others are our engagement pictures."

Matt: "Do we have to?"

Me: "No pictures, no wedding, which means no beer drinking."

Matt: "Fine"

He was also instructed on the way to get the pictures taken to behave.

The following are the results:

We ended up having a good time at the wedding and we were both fairly well behaved.

Hope you are all having a great week!

My wedding ring

I wrote about a week ago about "The Story of Us." You can read it if you haven't already. I mentioned that when we got married everything was kind of rushed and nowhere had a wedding band that matched my engagement ring.

My wedding band needed to be curved because my ring has so much going on, on the sides of it. I got a band that was curved and had round diamonds and baguettes. The diamonds on the band I bought don't go down as far on the sides as on my engagement ring. Also, the diamonds on the side of my engagement ring are channel set. The band I purchased is not channel set.


I know this picture isn't the best and its kinda hard to see exactly what's going on.

Matt cannot tell that it does not match but I can. I sent it off for an estimate at the store I bought both of my rings at about 6 months ago and nearly fell on the floor when they told me the price. I took it to another jeweler around then and they said that they could do it for almost half of what I was quoted. But my diamond protection plan and whatnot is not there so I was a little apprehensive about getting it done there.

So I went and talked to the boss lady at the place where Matt has bought all my diamonds about two weeks ago. She sent it off last week to a different custom jewelry maker. His price was less than both of the other estimates I have received.

Matt agreed to let me get it made. So my ring is in the shop. I'll have my matching custom band in about two weeks. When I get it back I will post before and after pictures. I have better pictures of the before on my computer at home.

Thanks honey. I love you. And I'm not going to look at or need any more diamonds for a long time.

Our 1st Anniversary

Tomorrow is our first wedding anniversary. I wrote a blog about our wedding here around the time I first started this blog. I recommend reading it, as our wedding was different than most.

Happy Anniversary baby! I love you more than anything in this world. You are my hero, my partner in crime, and my better half. I will love you forever and always. I promise to never forget how much you mean to me.



Here are some more pics from our wedding.
