It was another productive Saturday for Adrin and I, with us
claiming our prize from The Wedding Library and finally booking our wedding
rings. Yay! Yes, you read it right. We already got weddings rings this early.
Well, it has been several bridal fairs back when we first started canvassing
for rings. Since we are not connected in any way to any jeweler, we thought it
best to just scout for our rings during these events.
Adrin is more
particular with the rings. His requirements are: (1) within our allotted budget;
(2) wedding bands w/o stones, (3) a not too girly design. So as we scouted, I'd
suggest some designs but not all would pass his taste. I did not dare contest
because I thought the wedding band is an element in our wedding where he really
has a stake on. For one, he’d be wearing it constantly right? And so, as
we select for designs, I’d easily relent to his preferences, provided that it's nothing absurd looking. :)
Like in previous fairs, we took the time to visit each jewelry stall. In the last one, he liked a pair already and seemed to be all too
willing to reserve it at that moment. The design of the rings is okay with me
but I find its price a bit too steep compared with that of other stalls. I told
him my concern and said that that it was quite expensive despite the 20%
discount given that those are just plain bands. I encouraged him to check the
other stall again so we can compare better.
As we went back to Goldenhills, we carefully scrutinized again the
items on display and he found a design he liked (despite the single stone in
the middle) which is just closely priced as the plain ones we saw earlier. Upon
fitting the rings, even if the sizes were big for us, we really liked how it felt
to our fingers. Apparently it’s a “comfort fit” ring and is really meant to sit
between your fingers better than the “regular fit” ones.
Adrin forgot about the other ring altogether and made the call to
reserve and pay for the ones from Goldenhills. We got 20% off from the price tag and we also
have the flexibility to change designs should we find something better from
their inventory as we near our wedding date. Changing of designs would still
entitle us a 20% discount because we booked them in a fair. Good deal right?

We won’t be finalizing the ring sizes as well as engraved details
until November 2013. It’s a full year’s time from today which means we have
more than enough time to carefully think of what we’d like to be engraved on
our wedding bands.
Cheers!
