Wedding bands

I realised that we haven’t actually did any research on wedding bands so I thought I’d just have a quick look online.

After looking at a couple of websites, is it me or do wedding bands all look about the same??!!

Very hard to choose meh? It’s just….a band! I mean, look at this:

Then, compare with this:

HOW DIFFERENT ARE THEY?  Not a lot to me, really. Both are simple platinum bands with different designs.

Of course, one could have it encircled with a row of diamonds ala Tiffany & Co., like this one:

US$5000 only.

Lalalalala

We have set aside a budget but besides that, do we need to start walking into a gazillion jewellery shops to look at the rings on display? From the little glimpses that I have seen, they really do look the same to me!

How to choose like that?

The Third Letter

I bought the dvd for “Sex and the City” the movie and over the weekend, sat down with my big bag of BBQ Twisties and a cup of green tea to watch it all over again. Did I mention that SATC is my all-time favourite tv show?

This is an excerpt from the 3rd love letter from Ludwig van Beethoven (yes, the composer/pianist guy) to an unknown person. I love the last 3 lines.

Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, now and then joyfully, then sadly, waiting to learn whether or not fate will hear us – I can live only wholly with you or not at all – Yes, I am resolved to wander so long away from you until I can fly to your arms and say that I am really at home with you, and can send my soul enwrapped in you into the land of spirits – Yes, unhappily it must be so – You will be the more contained since you know my fidelity to you. No one else can ever possess my heart – never – never – Oh God, why must one be parted from one whom one so loves. And yet my life in V is now a wretched life – Your love makes me at once the happiest and the unhappiest of men – At my age I need a steady, quiet life – can that be so in our connection? My angel, I have just been told that the mailcoach goes every day – therefore I must close at once so that you may receive the letter at once – Be calm, only by a calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together – Be calm – love me – today – yesterday – what tearful longings for you – you – you – my life – my all – farewell. Oh continue to love me – never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.

ever thine
ever mine
ever ours
