Ordered my Wedding Bands

After following some of the trails we took to get my engagement ring, Geoff and I copped out and went to the mall. For engagement rings, I would not recommend the mall, but for plain wedding bands, it is a good choice. Lots of different stores have the exact same thing, so you can easily walk around and compare. We got:

* Mine: 3mm Comfort Fit Band, size 6, 14kt White Gold
* His: 4.5mm Comfort Fit Band, size 8, 14kt White Gold

Total: $270, with tax, from Zales.

UPDATE: Zales lied to me. They do not even carry a 3mm comfort fit ring, so when I picked up my rings, it was not comfort fit! I ended up ordering a new ring from this site after the wedding, it is much nicer, and free engraving.

And if anyone wants a regular band sz 6 that is NOT comfort fit, pls email me...

Invitations Sent (Yay!)

I just dropped a big pile of invitations at the mailbox. It was so scary, but such a relief. I hope they all find their way to wherever it is they are going. If I'm very lucky I didn't make any major etiquette boofs or anything.

In other news... I just did my taxes. While I was at it, I checked to see what our taxes would be like if we were married. To my mild surprise, they would be $1,500 lower. That's a lot! So there's no marriage tax for us, for whatever reason. At least there's something in this whole experience that isn't going to cost a fortune.
