Hi ladies,
Thought I''d share my excitement with you...I''m not engaged yet, but things are definitely moving in the right direction. Yesterday my other half and I finally comissioned my engagement ring. It''s a fairly low-key semi-bezel in white gold, but I really like it. We''ve had the diamond since last May, but for one reason or another, taking it to a jeweller''s kept getting put off. We finally did it, hand in hand, and shared a feeling of quiet fullfillment and happiness... After being together for seven years, it feels good to finally be here, even though it''s not quite ''there''. We also tried on wedding bands and it was lovely to see my boyfriend wearing one, and think ahead to the special time when we will become husband and wife.
Anyhow...now that that''s sorted, other things immediately spring to mind, so I need some advice from you lovely ladies...
I''ve had a baby in the last year, and as a result I have very hardworking hands. My nails are constantly breaking in the last few months, even though they are really short. I pile on hand cream and nail oil, but nothing seems to do the trick. How can I get my hands to be proposal worthy? I wish I could just spare them for a while, but that''s just unrealistic...Any tips would be greatly appreciated. My hands definitely need some TLC if I am to post pics (not to mention for the special moment)!
Also, can anyone recommend a reputable wedding band vendor for people who are on a budget?
Do you have any suggestions on what kind of a band would look good with a semi-bezel with a tapering 3.5mm shank?
I hope he won''t keep me waiting for long...it''s already been quite a wait!
Looking forward to reading all your tips and advice.
Thanks!
