We went engagement-ring-shopping yesterday and after having read many posts here about brides very excited to be collecting rings, I fully expected a loooong wait for re-sizing or ordering!
Went to about 5 different jewellers as I knew exaclty what I wanted. Nothing. Decided to go back ot the first, purely on a hunch, and not only did I finally found what I was looking for but they had it on my size! ? No wait!
I asked MOH to put it on my finger (Yeah! right?!) and he got down on one knee (again!) in the middle of the jewellers' shop and asked again. The staff were gasping and applauding! ? Why is there never a photographer around to get these things? ?
Here's the ring - The background is the tartan belonging to his family name. It was really weird to photograph my own ring! To see it properly, just click on the image!
The first problem?
He was looking at the registry office we want to book. They only hold 16 people for a ceremony! Very small town in the Scottish Highlands.
We have decided on a small wedding - Close family and friends and their partners, and need around 40-50 places.
Now to find a semi-decent venue which can do the same job...
