Everything we have done for the wedding has been rushed because we wanted no drama and things to be inexpensive. So far so good, then came the rings. We ordered my engagement ring from Kay's Jewelers. It was beautiful and so unique. When it arrived (didnt take too long to get here), the ring had a MASSIVE flaw in it that was visible from every angle and was way too big. The wedding ring was just way too big. Since we had a 2 1/2 week engagement, rather than exchanging it, we just ordered a second one and had it overnighted to us so I would have it for the ceremony. When I ordered it I told them the problems I had with the first. It just arrived, later than I had paid the extra shipping for it to be here, and this ring has a black carbon spot in it and is the same size as the last ring. Now both rings are going back, we have to pay to resize the wedding band and we are going to have to try to find a local jeweler that will give us a credit account so I can have an engagement ring.
I know in the grand scheme of things, the rings arent a big deal. It will get fixed, most likely after the wedding. It just annoys me that we have wasted money trying to get the ring we wanted from Kay's.
