Blaine and I both had the day off from work and decided to get a bunch of errands done. We headed down to China Town to order my wedding band. We are having it made by a goldsmith in China Town, because we heard that they often deal with gold in the softer karat range, same as my engagement ring. Also, his price came in almost $100 less than other mainstream jewellers for the same thing. We also like that he will resize my e-ring on the spot in his shop, while we wait. We never did like the idea of giving up my ring to be sent somewhere to be sized. Keeping my fingers crossed that China Town was a wise decision on our part.
Blaine looked around a few more jewellery stores, and came to the conclusion that his favorite ring is one we saw earlier this month at Troy Shoppe. We’ll order that ring a little later on.
Blaine also decided to check out tuxes today. Or should I say “a” tux. We went to one store, he tried one on, and voila…rented. I love what he chose, but just a little perplexed why he wouldn’t want to shop around a bit. Oh well, I guess that’s why we’re a good balance for each other. I would have gone to every tux shop in the city…twice…before making a decision. Hmm, that also must be why I have 2 different pairs of wedding shoes on hold at various stores around the city, and I bought 2 other pairs that I have to return sometime within the next 15 days!!
We also received a call from the Bay telling us a gift has arrived! We went to pick it up and the lady wrapped the items right in front of us…so much for the surprise!? Anyway, it’s all wrapped up with the gift card attached, but we’re not sure the ‘protocol’…do we send a thank you to the sender now, or wait until we technically open it after the wedding? I think we will just open everything after the wedding, but acknowledge to the sender that we did in fact receive it.
I also cleaned up the “wedding room”…need a place to put the gift
