1. FH and I just got to go on a wonderful vacation (courtesy of my very generous parents) and we bought a wedding ring for FH in St. Thomas (or so we thought). It was very unusual, unique, I've never seen anything like it and FH LOVED it. They didn't have it in his size at the store, and the metal of this ring was such that it couldn't be sized, so we had to order it. We got a call from them today saying that they don't *make* the ring in his size (no half sizes)! They tried to push me to order something off the website and even tried to refuse my money back for store credit! One way or another, I'll get my money back; I'll dispute the charge on my credit card if I have to, but I'm afraid FH won't like anything else as much and that really upsets me.
2. I went dress shopping Monday, and I'm now thoroughly confused. All the dresses I've really liked have been a very similar style, but on Monday I tried on a dress that's VERY different and I really liked it. Now I'm totally torn and don't know what to do...

Hugs to you!
First off, there are zillions of wedding rings out there. I'm sure that FH will find something that he loves. You have plenty of time, don't stress about that.
2. I hated dress shopping because what I wanted I felt that this did not exist. I tried on about 75 dresses before I found the one. I know that this is cliche, but you really will know which is the one when you have it on.
Don't worry!! <3

1.There are alot of places to get rings. If you have a picture of the one he likes Im sure you can find something similar in another store.
2. I kept trying on the dress I thought I wanted but then the sales women brought out a different style dress that I ended up loving. Im so glad she showed it to me cause the style looks much better on my body type and the gown is so different. I say forget about what you thought you wanted and go for what makes you feel great!

In regards to 'You will know' I felt like that was a bunch of bull when I was first shopping because i didn't like anything...but it is true!!! I def knew when I had my dress on.
Hope you're feeling better today :)

was that a local jeweler or a big store? i ask because I know lord&taylor carries a brand/line of jewelery called Effy. If it's not a local store to st. thomas, maybe you can find the ring in the states? (ie. lord and taylor in manhasset :)
