After I posted "Ring Around the What?" the other day, I got a message from one of the groom's men and RoyBoy's childhood friend, Mr. T-Cut (mentioned as part of the "Inspirations" post on 10/16/09). He mentioned that they got his ring from Etsy.com for a great price, and that there were a lot of titanium options there. Intrigued, RoyBoy and I checked it out, and found a TON of great wedding band options for him. One seller in particular, Titaniumknights (http://www.etsy.com/shop/titaniumknights), have a great selection of rings, all handmade, and RoyBoy likes a lot of their styles. So, a BIG Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. T-Cut! You made looking for simple, inexpensive men's wedding bands a breeze!
With RoyBoy's ring no longer worrying me, I started looking around for one for me. As I said, I want to find a simple band that we can use temporarily while we are poor. I looked at Etsy.com, but wasn't happy. Then I checked Overstock.com, but they only do whole sizes and I need a size 5.25 or at least a 5.5. Then I looked at ebay.com, and wasn't thrilled. I went to bed disheartened.
I mentioned the predicament to my mum this morning and she said, "I might have a wedding band you could use," and walked upstairs. WHAT? I might not have to get some sterling band or pay a fortune for a white gold band that I don't really, really want? I may not have to worry and freak out about this? Stop. The. Presses. I held my breath. Mum came back with a vintage band that at one point had a design, but is now mostly worn down to a simple band. My engagement ring was Great-grandma Richardson's. The band mum held was my Great-grandma Howard's. I tried it on with the engagement ring. Although it's not what I want in the end, it fit and wasn't overpowering. I won't even need to resize it, because the engagement ring will hold it in place. I'm kind of tickled that I'm wearing two family rings for my wedding. Albeit the band will be replaced, but it's still really neat. Mum said that if those great-grandmothers were still living, they'd be proud of my sister and I and so happy with us. :]
