the ring i wanted vs the one i got!!

i have been waiting for SO LONG to make this post.

he did SO good. this style of ring was saved in my pinterest folder like three separate times, and he went to five or more different jewelers to find one like it. not to mention, he found one with a wedding band preset, so when we get to that time, all we have to do is get it sized!! it’s absolutely perfect. i love him and i love this life🥰
