The Ring Disaster

Just when I begin to feel, things are smooth and hassle free, God is like "Oh! You think so?" with an evil grin.

We had placed order for the rings on December 01, 2014, for they needed maximum of 40 days to get it done. After trying on every possible ring available in the shop (GRT, undoubtedly!) we settled for one.

The basic common requirements, we had in mind, were pretty simple and straightforward, viz.,

• Material - Platinum. Coz gold was too mainstream and I didn't want it all flashy flashy,
• Pattern - As plain as the day.
• Model - Wedding band types. Unisex.
• Addons - Names to be written, on both.

However, there was one thing S wanted that I really did not - Rock. I somehow was not inclined to the idea of a 'stone'.

We decided on a plain (no stone) wedding band. Names could be written later after it is made.

It was all good until, we had gone to collect them yesterday. Yes! they were ready in 15 days (Yaaaaay!!!) It was a tad tight for the both of us. We specifically made it a lil loose, as such it moved about freely in the finger, leaving no mark. But, LO! Now, in a fortnight's gap, it's a tad tight already. I was apalled.

I couldn't blame the shop-guy either. Coz the rings were perfectly the sizes they had measured earlier - 18 and 20. But still, tight enough.

Was I excited about the rings or was I complaining about the almost-incompatible sizes?

We tried every possible ring, it's just I am not sure if we actually tried this ring or these sizes - specifically. I am to be blamed. I just don't remember, now.

With another month to go for the engagement, what if they wouldn't fit at all?
