Today was a good day. We purchased our beautiful gold wedding bands. We really wanted to get the traditional gold bands that both our parents had, as it seemed like the quintessential sign of the wedding. Last week however we had to have a change of heart when looking at the budget, we could not afford the bands we wanted. But then five days ago -- WOW! the cost of gold sky-rocketed. We stopped in at the jewelery store tonight to see if the ring prices had also changed. No they were doing that in TWO days. We looked at a couple of rings, then decided it was something that we really did want to have, so we took the plunge, even though the final bill would be over 700 dollars.
When Doc was just about to press OK on the debit pad to purchase our beautiful 5mm 14K gold rings, I looked down... What was that??- a sale on gold wedding bands. 20% off the last ticketed price which was already 50%. The price was right, and I mean really right. We had to give up a mm of gold for about 250 dollars less per ring. So in the end, the final bill for our beautiful 4 mm bands (which there was two identical ones, which was just good luck) was about $500 less that what Michelle was about to press OK for. It was meant to be!
