Choosing the Ring

Choosing the engagement ring with Kyle was so fun! After he got a feel for what he could get in upgrade from his original ring from Shane Company Kyle gave me the go ahead to start looking at rings. Yea that wasn’t over whelming at all. Looking as a girly future one day dreaming and for real was huge difference. Now it was like WOW this ring is really going to be mine.

My original thought was I wanted to give some direction on the ring but wanted to be completely surprised. (Yes with Kyle’s help I started seeing I was totally crazy to think that was a good idea) So I compromised…I told Kyle I would like at rings and let him know what I like online. Yea that got harder then I thought. There are way way to many rings to look at online. So into Shane Company we went!!

The plan was to get the diamond upgrade and go from there. Walking into the store I instantly was overwhelmed (heck I like online shopping for a reason) Our way cute sales girl and Kyle noticed quickly this was a little much for me to take in. So they started talking about what he can do…come to find out we get a sweat deal from upgrading from the first ring! Cant complain we pay not to much and get a lot!! So with a price range in mind we went to work.

Can I say it’s a good thing there are sales people. She listened to what I was thinking…a solitaire style to be worn with a wedding band or two. So we started at it. I knew what I really wanted but decided ok I at least need to try on lots of styles to make sure. Traditional Solitare…scratch. A Pave, Halo or Antique….scratch. A three stone…scratch. A swirl or metal worked ring….scratch.

What did I like…that’s right my original thought of a cathedral setting…only change this time…I wanted side diamonds with it.

It was so so fun to watch Kyle get into picking out rings once he caught on to what I liked and didn’t like. And he is good at it!! He choose some great options. What was funny was how I couldn’t even keep the fancy ones on for a sec…way to much diamond action.

I loved how excited Kyle was. He kept telling me my face was priceless...wish I could see it my self. I loved how gitty and happy and melting and peaceful I felt inside. I know this whole wedding thing is overwhelming and scary but feels so good and right at the same time. I never ever want to lose Kyle!!

End result of the night…Kyle gets to choose to actual ring from three I liked. I gave him direction that I wanted either a cushion or round diamond again his choice…

So the result……..















Way to go love!!!!! Now the fun of choosing bands. More photos to come.
