The Longest Wait

So, at the moment I'm waiting for my engagement ring to be sent back to me *sniff sniff*. I've been waiting for almost 8 weeks now and it's driving me crazy! I still have another 2 weeks before it MUST be back as per the jewellers promise but they made the big mistake of telling my fiancee and me that it may be back earlier. So in about 5 days they're going to start getting a phone call every day asking if it's back.

See, despite all his effort to have it perfect, including taking a ring of mine that fits my finger perfectly, the chick in the jewellery shop decided she knew better and made the thing 2 sizes bigger than it already was. Which, when we took it back to have resized, we discovered made it FIVE sizes too big for my finger. Yep, thats right FIVE sizes! Then they had to gall to try to blame us, albight in a very subtl passive agressive way. I of course was quick to put them in their place and let them know that if they have followed the guide that my fiancee had provided, it would have fitted. So that put an end to the snide comments. So my precious ring was taken from me after only 4 hours of wear and sent across the seas the America to be remade. I didn't understand at first why it would take 8-10 weeks to remake a band and switch the diamonds. Then I realised that they would not simply switch the diamonds out of my original ring but have to cut all new diamonds to the exact specifications as my original ring. That made me sad because I realised that the beautiful ring my fiancee had proposed to me with would not come back to me in any form, it was gone. Instead I would be getting a 2nd ring. But I soon got over that, hahaha!

So here I sit, waiting for the phone call to come get my ring. The loss, however, has been tempered some what by the fact that my mother gifted me with her own beautiful engagement ring to wear for the duration. It's as beautiful as mine so the ring along with her gesture has made the last 8 weeks much more bearable. Which is why shes the best mother ever (just so you know).

If anyone has been through something similar, let me know your story and what you did to get through it. I know it seems like something trivial, but an engagement ring is the one piece of jewellery that is for life and most women wait so long for it, its cruel to make them wait longer.

My First Post!

Ok, so this is my first time. Blogging that is.... I guess that means I shouldn't be wearing white to my wedding, hahaha! This will be a short post as I don't have alot to blog about at present. Let me start off by saying, I've got about a thousand pictures of hair styles, shoes, dresses, veils, lingerie, rings (though I already have that) and every other wedding item you can think of that I will have to sort through and narrow down for our special day. I plan to blog about this journey cos I think my friends and family will probably get sick of "wedding talk" and I'll need to vent to someone (thats just how I roll, I like discussing things...at length). So I invite you on this ride and let me know what you think!
