We found out the other day that my fiance passed his RN exam! I knew he would, but it is so much better to have it in writing.
However, having been engaged since July of 2010 and having our Oct. 13th date set the whole time, I think we were a little naive about how the timeline of money would go. We sat down yesterday and looked at everything and decided that we should really scale things back a bit as we do not want to go into debt over the wedding.
Which brings me to the check and changes.... We went to order our rings yesterday and instead of the half-eternity ring that I wanted, I am getting a plain white gold band. It's a big change (going from a $2500 ring to a $200 one) but I really am happy with the choice. I think it will suit me better, and we can always upgrade later. Plus, that's a lot more money that I can put to something else.
We also decided that instead of going to Europe right after the wedding (which, coincidentally is six weeks after I start school and therefore pretty ambitious time-wise), we are going to take a mini-moon to old Quebec and go to Europe in the spring.
All in all, these are pretty major changes for us but I am very happy... and so proud of my honey for passing the licensing exam!
