The Rings!
K and I mentioned our new committment rings in our 69 answers and I wanted to share a picture. I wanted to share anyway! I am so excited. When K and I pledged to be partnered 2 years ago we exchanged rings, but we were still living apart and had bought each other rings seperately. She had given me a plain narrow silver band which I loved, and I had given her a heart ring in white gold because she had my heart always. However now that we are together all the time and married in our hearts, I wanted very much to have a pair of matching bands to signify that union to the world. We have our matching tattoos that bond us and are the ultimate expression to me but I wanted something traditional too. Someday we plan to have a ceremony but that isn't feasible right now for many reasons. So we have been searching for rings that we both liked and fit our personality as well as fit our budget. That was the hard part. It had to be good quality but money is always tight as we have other priorities as well.
But Eureka! Last weekend I was googling yet again and found a site called Sea of Diamonds that was having a sale and we found them! 14K white gold. 8-)
Mine is 3mm wide because I can't wear a wide ring With my hands being in water all the time I get a nasty skin condition under rings if they are too wide. and I like simple things. K's style leans toward something a bit more elaborate but she really liked this ring too. What we did is get her the wider version at 5mm. Its really pretty. Funny that the femme gets the more masculine band but we are not traditional in a lot of ways and we love that!
This one is mine. *big grin 
K's is the same only wider of course....

Beautifull rings.
Wow! That's exactly what my wedding band looked like except it was gold. I can remember Bill and I picking our wedding bands out. That was indeed a special time.
I'm glad that you and K found one another.
those are beautiful.
Very nice! I've been noticing other female couples who have matching rings in my store. I'd like to have the same except... Lou and I already have rings. Even though they don't match, I wouldn't want to give mine up or consign it to a drawer. But I couldn't add another to this one.. it would be tooo wide and would bother me! I love my ring ~ Nony
Thanks All! And Kim, I understand about not wanting to change too. Everyone needs to do that is special to them as a couple. I debated in my mind for a long time if I wanted to do this because I had had K's ring on for almost 2 years but I also knew that I really wanted matching ones too and I know now that "This" one will never leave my hand. Its sort of like the original rings signify all that we went thru to get to this place and these bands are our future now together. 8-)
Very nice Caly. It truly is a special moment when you find THE ring to symbolize your love, commitment and devotion to your beloved. I'm very happy for you. When is the wedding?
Hehe Thanks Kim,
We definately want to have a wedding someday but right now with so many other things going on in our lives and with K's girls so young and just getting use to all that has happened in their lives the past 2 years, we think its best to wait a bit. But someday, I can promise you that! For now we have our rings, our tattoos and our Love; that we declare as publicly as we can without risking K's job, so thats all that matters.
*hugs
Nice rings! You are two lucky grrl's....I love a happy ending!
