    My wife and I sat with a jeweler and built her ring for like $1200. She loves it and we had fun making it together. The jeweler said she loved making things for couples like us and never tried to push anything. It was a much more fun experience than simply handing her something she might not like.

    Stories like this are way better. That’s more memorable than simply buying a thing and handing it over. My wife and I spent very little on everything. I think my suit was the most expensive thing at like $500, and we got married in an arboretum park we love (we just showed up and did the thing with a small handful of folks). My ring was a plain, dirt cheap silver band. I love the scratches on it because they represent the journey.

    Did she eventually find it? That just adds to the lore!
