Hello Everyone! Well it was another productive wedding weekend...from visiting the place where it all began...to buying the rings it was all it was built up to be and more.
The weekend started out a tad bit early as Karl and I took a half a day off from work on Friday to go to Jacksonville to share in the FL/GA festivities and also get stuff done for the wedding. We arrived at our first stop in J-ville and it was the St Johns Towns Center specifically Jared's Galleria of Jewelry...and we had a great feeling about what type of rings we wanted and thought "hey this is going to be painless"...well it wasn't quite that easy....once inside Jared's we got stuck with the salesperson from hell!! She was so pushy and wouldn't work with us...after finding out that the original ring I picked out in Atlanta wasn't at the Jacksonville store...she resorted to show us the most expensive rings she could find... well after about 10 mins I was about to pull my hair out....I had tried on so many wedding bands and I just was not satisfied with anything I saw....Karl was getting frustrated too... so we told her that we were going to have to think about things and would come back...well then all of a sudden her whole tone changed...she pulled out a whole other "behind the counter" collection of rings and we started the whole process again...this time I was a lot more forceful...I told her that I had money to spend...but I was not paying a crazy amount for the rings...so then out of no where she pulls out this amazing band that matched perfectly with my engagement ring...Karl and I both knew it was the one...and decided that we would go ahead and buy it...well this is when the sh*t hit the fan again...when she rang up the ring...the price totaled $100 more dollars than what we expected...Karl lost it...I almost had a meltdown...Karl was like "What the heck...was the tax $100 or what"...well the lady (without even asking us) added on a "service" plan to our total which jacked the price up...we debated on getting it...but after it was all over we just paid it...left with the rings and went and enjoyed ourselves at the Landing...
...About the landing...well this was a very special day for us not only was it FL/GA weekend (being that we are a house divided made it awesome)...this was the first time since our first date that we had been to the landing...yes that's right...our first date was in June of 2007 at the landing...so it was special for us...brought back a lot of memories....we had an awesome time....we went to the Corey Smith concert and then came home and watched the football game in St Simons Island on Saturday.
So other things we got taken care of for the wedding....
1. Purchased our wedding bands
2. Paid off the photographer
3. Paid off our DJ
4. Purchased our first round of wedding favors**
**We are going with 3 types of favors...I think our wedding guests will be really up for a treat where favors our concern.
Well I love you all and well update with more news later.
