Wedding Bands: Found
Ed and i went to get our rings ordered up.
We chose different styles since we want each to love their own ring without having to like the other partner's style. It will be on our ring finger for the rest of our lives so have to make sure we like seeing it everyday and won't go tired of it. It was something that required a bit of thinking.
**Some background for my ring: It required a bit of canvasing, researching and web-surfing early early on this year. I found a few designs and bounced ideas with a friend's jeweler, David, in HK. He gave me the pro's and con's of the three designs I chose and told me to think about it. Even before our meeting ended, I sort of already know what I wante but instead, didn't immediately ordered the ring since I wanted to make sure that Ed's okay with it and the design to sink in for a few months - to be very sure. So by the time Ed and I were ready to order our rings, I already know what and where to get it.
First was Ed's ring since he already knows from the very start what he wanted and know where to get it. We went to J's duets to got his "off-the-rack". Ed already did his research and the only dilemma for his ring was which ring size would be best. Since either big or small, his has to be specially ordered.
The lady at the store said that Ed's choice is a very popular style thus mold is already part of the jeweler's in-demand style. Ed's ring will take about three weeks while mine might take a while since it's all customized. I'm excited to see the finish product...three weeks to go!
In my ring's case, I decided to just go with my friend's jeweler for my ring - a vintage/antique-like style as what I was informed. The jeweler was quite helpful and accommodating. I showed him what i wanted, he made a copy of the photo and told me that the ring's mold will be done in about 10 days. He would give me a call to give the ring size a try and see if the craftsmanship is fine then later place the stones. He told me that if there are any problems, we can always melt the metal and start over.
After placing our ring orders, Ed and I, both, were happy and contented with our choices. It was a good fulfilling day indeed. :D
Oh, got civilly married the following day.
This made Manila Church Requirements a lot easier since we do not need to file for a marriage licence and just need the Certificate of Marriage be certified true copy by the HK government. :)
