The traumatic event happened the Sunday before Christmas. J and I were at Target grabbing some last minute white elephant presents for my family Christmas party. The scene of the crime happened in the candy aisle, which is quite unfortunate because it's usually one of my favorite aisles, but I'll now forever have nightmares of that row of sugary treats.
J has asked me to grab a bag of Tootsie Rolls and as I pulled my hand out of the wire basket the bags of candy were in, my precious engagement ring got caught on the wire. At first, all I noticed was that it hurt like hell and my finger was bleeding. It wasn't until later when I took a good look at my ring that I noticed the damage. The entire top portion of my ring where the center stone and the halo sits was bent forward and a small diamond on the band was missing!
You can imagine how I reacted. I had to keep it together since we were in public, but on the inside, I was hyperventilating and hysterical. I've been without my lovely engagement ring for about 8 days now, which obviously is like being without an arm. It's a surprise I can function without it. But the good news is homeboy jeweler is fixing it and it's not going to cost me an arm and a leg! THANKS HOMESLICE!
On a happier note....
I found my wedding dress! My momma and I went to a cute little wedding boutique this past Saturday to try on dresses for the first time. The consultants pulled a total of 8 dresses for me, and the very first dress I tried on, I knew was the one! Of course I tried on the remaining dresses because, let's be honest, how many times do you get to try on wedding dresses. While they were all gorgeous gowns, nothing compared to the first dress.
I want so badly to share a picture of the dress with you all, but J reads my blog, so that's not happening. All I can say is it's perfect and the exact dress I was looking for! Waiting 18 weeks for my dress to come in is going to be torture. I'm so impatient...
Hope all you ladies had a wonderful and safe New Years!
