Just in the nick of time!

OMG I thought we were going to leave Guam without having received our wedding rings! I ordered them from Etsy and let the seller know when we would be leaving---she mailed them out with about 4 days to spare! I loved these rings the minute I saw them (over a year ago), and messaged the seller personally when I saw her shop was recently closed. I NEEDED those rings! She was more than happy to work with me; I think the fact that I blogged so much about them won her over...


My point-and-shoot doesn't do them justice. The colors are so vibrant! I fell in love with the purple band, but Mr. Barrettes couldn't be convinced to wear purple so he opted for the blue. We're still matchy, but with our own individualities in there. The engraving reads, "All buttoned up. 10.10.10". Mr. Barrettes used that phrase to tell a friend we'd become engaged and it has stuck ever since. My ring is only 3mm and the engraving is so teeny-tiny, it's just barely legible. Amazing. How'd they do that? Here is a better shot of mine:


Ok, so you can barely see it in the photo, but I will have our photog get some ring shots for sure. I probably should have made sure it looked good with my engagement ring, but sometimes I just get a wild hair and suffer the consequences later. Thankfully, I love them together!


The titanium of the band is slightly darker than my e-ring setting, but it sort of goes with our whole color theme anyway. We have decided that we will upgrade our wedding bands as our marriage grows, as long as they're always somewhat similar.

Did you are your spouse choose different rings? Do you plan on changing rings throughout the years?
