Excitement!!!

Rachael, on August 1, 2019 at 7:35 PM Posted in Planning 0 12

I'm sooooo excited about my engagement ring fitting perfectly again!! I just had it sized down today, just a half size but it makes all the difference!! (I was already on a weight loss journey when FH proposed, & lost 20lbs since the proposal, which affected my hands, and therefore ring size). Also, I didn't have any cleaning solution until today, so seeing my ring cleaned properly by the jeweler made me feel alllll sorts of things!!! Smiley heart *soooo sparkly!!!*


And!!! I ordered FH's ring the other night, & got my email that its in process of being made!!! So I'm stoked about that!!!

AND even though it also makes me a bit spazzy about getting everything done, we are approximately ONLY two months away from our wedding!!!!!!! It's starting to feel real that its almost here!!


So yea. That's my story. What's got you all pumped right now???

    Oh same!! But I went to a local jeweler that did it same day, they said the longest it would be would be next day but it worked out. I was sooo anxious about leaving it so I was so happy when I got the text saying they had it done. How long did yours take?

    It was about 5-6 days both times. I got a fake ring from amazon to wear during that time. I'm also not taking my ring on my honeymoon so I'll be leaving them with my jeweler to get soldered while we are gone. Fake ring back on lol

    That's great news, Rachael!

    Do you have a picture of your engagement ring you would be comfortable to share? I'd love to see Smiley smile

    I'm glad you got your engagement ring resized! Seriously, a half size can make a world of difference.
    FH proposed with a size 5 ring that was way too big for me (I have fairly bony fingers). We got it resized to 4.25 and it fits wonderfully!

    I've had to get my engagement ring resized so once so far. I am on a weight-loss journey as well and I for-see it having to be resized again. I went and bought an $8 ring from walmart to wear while it gets resized - i feel naked without it!

    Oh my gosh I would have struggled so much waiting that long!! Getting a fake one for the time being was a great idea. I specifically looked for places near me with high reviews with 1-2 day turn arounds, since FH & I haven't decided on any fake rings yet (I want us to both get one of those silicone bands to wear when we do anything that could damage our actual rings, but we want to pick designs that are still "us")

    Right!? I had a friend ask me if it was really worth it to go down half a size like that & she couldn't even believe what a difference it's made. I'm not paranoid that its going to fall of my hand & be lost forever any more (happened with my class ring years ago).

    One of my bridesmaids has fingers small like yours, and she said it made an even bigger difference for her too!! So I can only imagine

    Right same!!! I wear my engagement ring and another ring on my other hand almost all the time, so I freak out if I have them off for too long, I'm just so used to feeling them there. Not having them on is a really disorienting feeling
