This week I bought the engagement ring and wedding band. I told my Aunt Ericka that my budget was $700 and with her 50% discount she showed me some very pricey rings. After looking at a lot of rings there was $800 ring (without the discount) that really stuck out to me. I wanted to buy it. When I told my aunt she agreed that the ring was pretty but informed me that if I bought that ring I might just want to pay the full price of it so I could buy the warranty to go with it ( a safety feature that wouldn't have been included if she bought the ring with her discount). I thought about it and decided that was the one I should buy. She was able to get me a good deal and she found me a matching wedding band to go with it for her. She also offered to buy wedding rind as long as it would was about 50 or 60 dollars. This whole ring shopping has been a little stressful but pretty fun at the same time.
On Friday morning Carla texted me saying how her mom and dad need help wedding plan from members in her ward. She told me that her parents wanted to tell people and make it more official in Georgia. I was a little hesitant because I wanted to wait to get the ring and propose to her "right" before we let everyone know. In the end I figured it didn't really matter in the long run and it was necessary for her parents to get the help they need. Ericka informed me later that the ring won't come until around June 7th because it needs to be fitted for her and it will take time to ship. Everything is working great and I am excited for this next part of my life! August 1st here I come!
