The Ring Didn't Mean A Thing

DAYS REMAINING: 101


When Eric and I got engaged, I bought two titanium rings and proposed to him at the restaurant where we celebrated our anniversary every year in LA. I wanted it to be a complete surprise so I guessed at Eric’s ring size, going for the average men’s size of 9. It turned out to be way too big, so I exchanged it for a size smaller, convinced that getting a new ring without getting his finger sized this time was a totally great idea. Size 8? Not even close. So because his ring still falls off every time he swings his hand or walks or thinks small thoughts, I decided that for our actual wedding rings we would do it right. We would go to a real store, talk to a real human, and get our actual ring sizes. And if you’re going to do it right, you should do it as right as you can. So we took ourselves to Tiffany.

We’re not actually getting our rings at Tiffany. But it was fun to waltz right in there, tell the nice lady at the counter that we were getting married in August, and have her show us to a table where she sized our fingers with this thing…


 …showed us their collection of hilariously expensive gold bands, and sent us on our way.

(Eric’s ring size is 6.5.)

More Budget Accommodation!

DAYS REMAINING: 102


 Further to our entry about non-hotel lodgings we wanted to add one more from Tracie:

Hi guys! So we've finally settled our lodging situation and are actually staying here.
It's located about midway between the Grand and the city center, which seemed to make sense. I hope Anna forgives me. Anyway, come over! We'll cook you dinner.
