Aw, crap

The first (tiny) roadblock of wedding planning: FI's tungsten wedding band doesn't fit. We ordered it online and I feel a little peeved - he measured as a 13 at the jewelry store, and we read that comfort fit should be a half size smaller. Well, his finger is swimming in the 12.5 we ordered. I know it's no big deal and we can exchange it, but it's disappointing that the band we've been waiting to arrive doesn't fit. There's no sense of, "hurray! we can really get married now." Bummer.

DH has a titanium band...we heard they ran different in sizing after we ordered it.  His fits, but I think it's a little big.

Atleast it's a small thing, right?

Yep, that's exactly why I'm not too upset. I guess I just had a pretty dream in my head that he's get home, try it on, it would fit, and we'd have this feeling of completeness. Weird, I know. But it was such a relief trying on my band and having it fit perfectly. I wanted that moment with his too.

We ordered FI's tungsten band and finally picked it up this weekend.  He wouldn't take it off.  He really likes it and wore it all day Saturday!  I thought it was kind of cute.  It really made the wedding feel real, like we are really getting married!

That's odd - I've never heard of them running small or big. H got measured by our jeweler and they ordered it. It fits perfectly.

Just out of curiosity, did he get sized with a thin band or a thick one (width-wise)? This happened to DH, only not with tungsten, we ordered a specialty band from Ireland and found out the hard way that it makes a big difference how you're measured. I'm sorry this happened, but it is a small obstacle in the grand scheme of things.

Gee-Lo

This makes me nervous and FI found the one he wants online...maybe I should just convince him to find one at the jewlery store!

I'm late on this, but did he get it from Tungsten World?  That's where we ordered fi's band from, and it was the same deal.  He loves the ring, and the quality is great, but it's huge.  He's going to send it back for an exchange today.

I'm late answering back. We got it from buy.com. It came from vishaljewelry.com.
