My husband is irresistable with his wedding ring on.
Am I the only wife who finds her husband's ring to be some kind of strange aphrodesiac?
I LOVE Husband's wedding ring. And I LOVE Husband's wedding ring on his finger even more. I'm not sure what it is about it:
Yes, it's fairly unique. Yes, I put a lot of time and energy into picking it. And yes, I kept it a total surprise until the day of our wedding (My ring was a surprise too):
But there is just something so...wonderfully attractive about that ring nestled on his left hand. Maybe because it means that he's all mine, maybe because I'm a warm and fuzzy newlywed...I don't know. But I love that ring :-)
You see, my ring was something of a saga. I am going to tell a brief (very brief) version of the story:
Husband and I decided that we wanted to get married in April, and he took me ring shopping. We looked at LOTS and LOTS, picking out things we liked and didn't like. In the process, I discovered that I really loved chocolate and champagne diamonds. So Jon took everything we liked in a ring to heart, and set out on a mission to find one.
A month later (Memorial Day weekend), he did. And he purchased it.
5 days, the store assured him. It will take 5 days to get the ring put together with the special ordered chocolate diamonds. We'll call you.
5 days turned into 25 days, and it was the beginning of July before he ended up with the ring in hand. Of course, I knew none of this at the time, but have since learned of it.
Anyway, he proposed on July 4th, giving me the most gorgeous ring I have ever seen (that one above!!!). The center and halo diamonds are all chocolate diamonds, giving the ring the most beautiful, warm look.
So, when I started looking for a ring for Jon, I first began to research my metals. Being a welder/machinist, he likes metals, so I looked at tungsten and titanium and cobalt. But fearing for my husband's fingers, I wanted to make sure and find a metal that would be as safe as possible.
Then I saw a wood inlay ring.
And I flashed on a conversation between husband and I from when we were first dating. Husband is a gun collector, smith, and lover. And I remember asking him about this when we were first together, and his response was about rifles. He told me that he loved rifles because of their symmetry and lines, the clean way that wood and metal work together--he found that gorgeous.
When I saw that wood inlay ring, I knew it was the ring for him.
So I began looking for one for him. And that's its own story. But I was always a little sad when looking for a ring for him, because he can't wear it at work, and I thought that he would never remember to put it on when he wasn't at work.
But when Jon saw his ring for the first time, his face glowed with pleasure.
He wears that ring all the time, other than when he is at work and is not allowed to.
And I find that ring to be irresistible on his left hand.
Good thing I married that man :-)
Who knew a man's wedding ring could be that exciting?!
