We took mom's wedding band to the city to be fixed today and now I can wear it on my wedding day. they even dipped it in rhodium to brighten it up and it looks awesome. The only issue was when they resized and soldered it, the'56' in the inscription disappeared so we had the '56' re-engraved (just not telling mom).Turns out the ring wasnt cut when she was prego with my sister, rather when she was prego with ME. So I guess I made her gain weight! It is a great feeling knowing that something from my Dad will be a part of the ceremony. Afterwards, it will go on my right hand and I will wear the platinum band that FH is giving me.

Before and after pics - the lines on the side are still there but Im a lousy photographer and editor:

Leslie, that's wonderful!!!! It's so great that you'll have that ring and be able to wear it on your wedding day!!

I like it even better that it was when your mom was prego w/ you, it's like you were taking it from her so you could have it when you were ready!!

I dont get it though. Mom said she only gained 10 pounds with me and I was a 9 1/2 pound baby!!!

They made the ring from an 8 to a 6 even though my finger is a 5 1/2. In the event that my finger gets bigger, I dont want to cut it again!
