well since we are married, this is a more permanent idea than for "dating" people...i think.
Normally we dont do vday....i dont really believe it in and we are the kind of people that do things thru out the entire year and dont see the point in a "designated" day.
but....this year dave wanted to since its our first one being married.
so...I've been wanting a mothers ring for years so my mother is going to show him the one I want and make the arrangements for him to get it without me knowing (yeah I know that ruins the surprise but Im having so much fun with HIS gift I dont mind...AND I know that if I'd played up wanting one he'd have done it anyway) my ring will have mine and daves and my daughters birthstones in it. (29.99 in cost for sterling silver which is all I wear)
now for him....he doesnt wear rings.....his wedding ring is all he wears, so I had the brilliant idea to have a "stepfathers" cross made. He LOVES celtic crosses, we have matching ones that we've worn since our one month dating anniversary, and wore as our jewelry when we got married. I have a friend whos mother makes jewerly so she is going to take the celtic cross I've picked out (the Shannon cross) and inset our three birthstones in it for me. (50.00 in sterling silver)
Im so excited I cant wait til he sees it
