When we picked out our wedding rings, the woman helping us told us that we should think about what we wanted to have engraved in each other's rings, opening up a new can of decisions that needed to be made.
We always planned to get our wedding date engraved in our rings, a lesson learned from B's brother (no chance of forgetting your anniversary then!). But the idea that we needed meaningful words in addition to numbers added a new element of complexity and pressure. We decided to go online to see what the rest of the world has done.
The online community offered some...interesting options. "You wore me down" didn't capture the theme we were going for, and "Not for pawning" seemed too foreboding about our financial future. "The toys are LEGALLY mine" was just vindictive, and "wuv woo wots ~ sweeties" made me want to gag. Clearly, we were on our own for this one.
We each thought about it for a few weeks, and we talked about it a few days ago, and shockingly (or not shockingly--we are getting married, so perhaps we are starting to think alike), we had the same idea. So that's what we're going with. We're heading to the jeweler tomorrow to try on the rings we ordered and to tell them them what we want.
Another item to check off the list... :)
