I finally got my ring back today. You know, I waited 3 years for that ring and considered myself a pretty patient person, but once the ring's been on my finger?? Oh no, Kay Jeweler's needed to get me that thing back ASAP because I was missing it like CRAZY!! I was bugging Nathan at least once a day: "It's my ring and I want it NOW!!"
Well, I got it back today, and I am a very happy camper!
Then there was this whole other issue to resolve called, "what to do with my purity ring"...
"Are you going to wear them together?" people asked.
To be honest, I was a little worried about it looking funny because the purity ring is sterling silver and the engagement ring is white gold and the purity ring looks so humble next to it.
And that's when it hit me that my purity ring SHOULD look humble next to my engagement ring. Purity isn't something flashy that's used to capture everybody's attention. It's this great little secret I've kept for years, waiting for the man I would one day call my husband. Well, I've found him, but we've still got some waiting left to do.
A couple people have suggested I move the purity ring to my other hand to "make room" for the engagement ring -- but see, that's not how it works. No, that purity ring is hanging around for another three years.
Nathan and I have both been waiting and saving ourselves for that one person we would spend the rest of our lives with. And I am so excited about that.
And you know what else? I think my engagement ring and my purity ring look quite charming next to each other.
Wait for Me -- Rebecca St. James
