Al's Band of Gold


Al finally chose his wedding ring and it arrived May 18, 2009. I'm totally excited that he finally decided on this band as it took FOREVER for us to find it. We went to several different jewelry stores and always came up empty handed. Al could never find anything that he really loved. I have to agree, guy's wedding bands tend to be super plain and boring. It's all about the metal and no embellishments. Another thing we ran into was the lack of rings available in yellow gold. Almost EVERYTHING in men's rings are white gold (or tungsten or another type of metal) and sometimes the occasional two tone ring with white gold being the primary metal.
We ended up ordering the ring online at www.raru.com which specializes in celtic rings. I was kind of shocked when Al chose this ring, because of the diamonds and the pattern. It's completely opposite of a normal men's wedding band. I'm so glad we were able to finally find his wedding ring and check one of the last BIG checks off our list.
