In my previous ring post, I shared our wedding bands with you. What we haven’t yet figured out is if we will engrave them, and if so, what the bands will say. It turns out that my band, due to its size, doesn’t have enough “engravable space” (I’m a 4.75 – it’s not like my fingers are Pixy Stix or something), but the Mister’s is fully engravable! Muahahaha – now what should we put on that baby?
Some possibilities:
1. Our initials and/or wedding date.
Simple, classic and conventional
2. “Put me back on!”
I think I saw this on Weddingbee, but for the life of me I can’t remember who did this. I think it’s witty and irreverent. However, Mr. Hamster has a more literal sense of humor, so he might see this as more of a directive than a clever joke. (Although, do I have a problem with that? Hmmm…)
3. “Lay off my Cheetos!”
Ugh, GOSH. Seriously, the Mister loves eating my food. I know this sounds kind of petty, but I love food. And I know it’s like, “What’s the big deal – don’t you share a fridge, what’s with the my food vs. his food thing?” OK I’m not going to get into it, but true story—one time I was having a bad day at work but I knew there was a slice of lemon poppy poundcake waiting at home for me, and then I got home and all that was left of the poundcake was a few crumbs on the fridge shelf and I turn to Mr. Hamster and he was all, “Oh, I got hungry so I ate that bread thing.” And then I cried.
Okay, maybe we won’t use option 3; it brings up too many bad memories.
4. Nicknames for each other
We don’t have any, unless “Babe” and “Hey…hey!!!” count.
I’ll need to think about this some more.
Are you engraving your wedding bands? If so, what are you engraving on them?
