In other marriage related news.... I am kind of ticked right now at the place we bought our rings. They have been great so far but, I feel somewhat misled when they sold us Chris' ring. It all started when I took my ring to be inspected and Chris wanted me to take his to be cleaned because it's all scratched and dull and worn looking. They cleaned it and it helped a little but was still very scratched and worn. They said it looked like it had been in a chemical. With Chris in the Army I figured who knows what he has been in. They didn't want to polish it because the lady didn't know what it would do to the ring. So, she said to look online and see what it said about tungsten and if it could be polished then they would gladly do it. She also took my number and said she would call me Monday if she found anything out ( never heard from her). So, I looked online and found something very interesting. If tungsten is binded or finished with Cobalt then it is very likely to be easily scratched, react with your skin's chemicals and rub the finished off and turn your finger greenish and itchy! All this has happened to Chris and his ring. First off, we bought the ring we did because tungsten isn't supposed to scratch easily and is supposed to be shiny for practically forever and look good much longer than gold or silver. Well, no one ever told us this when we bought it. All they said is that it couldn't be resized but that was ok, because it fit him. I feel very misled about the product. It didn't do what they said and after only two years it's more scratched and dull than gold or silver would be (which could be polished if needed). I feel like the sales people should know what their product is made with and what could happen. The average customer isn't going to know what material the ring is finished with or binded with and wouldn't even know to ask. We would have a ring from them regardless so they wouldn't have lost the sale. We would have bought something different. We can't really do anything until Chris gets home in about 2 weeks. But I am going in there with some printouts from the internet about what I found out and see what they will do. All I want is for them to take responsibility for not telling us and do a little something about it. I don't expect a whole new ring in a different metal (that would be nice though) but something. Maybe $50 off a purchase or some amount towards a new ring. Just something to show they screwed up by not telling us what could happen and try to make it right to keep our business. Because if they don't try to make it right, I probably will never buy anything from them again because obviously they don't care about my business.
Ok, anway, I thought I would post some wedding pics to remember our wedding day!

Oh my... I completely forgot it was that time of year!! WOW... congrats! How come there aren't any pictures of that really hot brunette bridesmaid you had? I hear she stole the bottle of champagne and drank it all. She must be real cool!! :) Oh and the other one from El Dorado was pretty cool too! :) (just making you smile Hillary)
Happy anniversary! That sucks about his ring. Jeremy wanted one like that, but we decided to wait. Now I am glad we did. ;(
Happy Anniversary!! I can't believe that was two years ago. I hope you enjoyed your day. Your blog about the ring is interesting. Good to know.
I don't know anything about a bottle of champagne. I choose to remain silent. ; )
That was a great day/night. I will never forget it.
