Fi and I went to about 8 stores today, getting the "lay of the land", exploring, doing some window shopping for wedding bands, and wow.. what a long day! We went to a few local stores, and a few national, and there was a HUGE different. There was so much pressure to buy immediately at the chains, and they were all somehow managing to really like us, so they were willing to cut us a deal. Uh huh. Right. Short ending, we didnt buy any. We both now found what we like, so its a matter of price/quality shopping now. but please... not for a few more weeks.. I need a break :-)
