Our Wedding Rings

I love our wedding rings. We bought them in a small mall in Syracuse, New York right before we got married. They are gold and then have a band in the middle that has a yellow, blue, and red tint to the gold.

They are very unique. Recently I was surfing and came across a web site for Celtic jewelry, and there were my bands. I could hardly believe it. I thought about replacing mine but it wouldn't be the same.

Why would I want to replace my band? When I gained so much weight a few years back I had to take my ring to a jeweler and have in enlarged. Well as it turns out they are hollow (we didn't have a ton of money back then) which meant that the band broke when they were trying to enlarge it. Then it had to be sent out to be repaired. I thought for sure I would never see it again.

They didn't do to bad of a job but you can tell where they cracked the band. I have my ring back (which I had not worn in months) and I have not taken it off since then. Of course I have gained even more weight so I will probably have to repeat the process in a year or so. I could lose some weight but that would be the easy way out.
