With this ring, I thee wed

A little over a month ago, I went to take off my wedding rings before bed and all of sudden I heard a clinging sound. Something hit the floor, but both rings were in my hands. I frantically looked around to see what fell and then realized the diamond mounting was no longer on my engagement ring. I quickly picked up the diamond and ran into the living room to show Adam. He did his best to comfort me, but I couldn't fight back the tears.


I have always been so careful with my jewelry, especially my wedding rings. I didn't understand how it happened, but I knew I wanted it fixed immediately. We are fortunate that Adam's grandfather was the manager of Bailey Banks & Biddle in The Galleria for most of his career. Both Adam & his brother David have worked on and off at Bailey Banks & Biddle in Town & Country throughout their college breaks. So when Adam & I talked about getting married, we knew where we would be purchasing the rings. They have always treated our family like their family.


We made a call into Sue a few weeks ago and she said to send the ring by registered mail and they would take care of it. Sue called earlier in the week to let me know the ring would arrive on Thursday and wanted to make sure someone would be home for delivery. I have been anxiously waiting all day and it never showed. I didn't know if I should be worried or if I should just wait and see if it would arrive tomorrow. A little after 7pm, the doorbell rang and it was my ring! I couldn't wait to put it on. I felt bare just wearing my wedding band for the last month. It was so pretty and polished.

I would have cried too! But they look BEAUTIFULLY polished and shined! We love BB&B. Chris bought me a tiny cross necklace there for Christmas and I LOVE it! :)

I totally understand where you're coming from...embarrassing to admit, I accidentally dropped my engagement ring (I caught my wedding ring) in the water on a beach on our honeymoon. With the waves constantly rolling, it disappeared in seconds. Fortunately, a guy with a metal detector and $400 later, the ring was found, but I remember being frantic!
