I was ALL excited today since FH found his wedding band and I am all excited about mine...
well, FH's grandmother goes 'oh, you're putting sapphires in your wedding band? How exciting! #*& will be so thrilled. What a tribute to her...it's her birthstone'
#*& = FH's sister that I HATE/despise/etc....
now I don't want sapphires...ugh!
Note to self: do not share exciting news. people just ruin it!

Re: Grrr.....
thats a pretty big assumption that she made thinking that it was a tribute to her...im sorry that is annoying...but dont not get it if it is something you had your heart set on...you can maybe find a way to make it clear that it has NOTHING to do with FSIL

Re: Grrr.....
well, if you put some other stone in it, it's going to be someone else's birthstone...
besides, you didn't put the stones because it was so-&-so's birthstone, but because you liked them for for your own reasons.
i don't think it should sour you at all! Hopefully this will blow over quickly and you'll be happy with the sapphires again

Re: Grrr.....
what is up with people lately?? why on earth would it be a tribute to her? that's just weird. old people are weird. don't let it bother you. you love it, that's all that matters. besides, basically whatever stone you pick would be a birthstone, or close to what someone considers their birthstone.
fcuk 'em!

Isn't diamond someone's birthstone too? Would you not get diamonds on your ering or wedding band because of someone's birthday?
It ***** that she said that, because you'll think of her now when you wear your ring, but I wouldnt let it stop you unless you really feel strongly about it. It's obviously NOT about FH's sister, it's because you love the look of sapphires!

I would still get the sapphires... you and your FH know it's not a tribute to her. Which is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

Re: Grrr.....
Well, aren't sapphires actually the traditional engagement/wedding stone? I think it only changed to diamonds in the 19th century. I think I read about that in an Edith Wharton book or something.
