Pawn shop is a good idea. Although I don't think we have any around here. But a friend of minehas a friend....and his fiance' and he bought these nice wedding bands....and then he totalled his car and got a LOT of money for it from insurance, so he bought a cheaper car and used the extra money to buy a second pair of nicer rings...and they just GAVE thier old bands to Emily since she was having a baby and they figured she'd get married and be able to use them. Well Emily says her boyfriend isn't ready to be a dad let alone to get married so she said Ic ould have them and I should trade them in and that'd help cover some expenses of our own wedding bands.
I fouind a website online that some dude does custom wedding bands...and he had one he'd already done for someone that was like perfect for Erron. It was simple. silver, had some celtic design and two dragons holding a stone of your choice and then between the dragons' tails was your wedding date. Which would help my dork to remember our anniversary. How perfect.
But I also wanted to get his band engraved. I thought and thought real hard abouit what I wanted engraved in it....something meaningful that not only sounded nice to an outsider, but would mean so much more to us and our history together. So I decided on something...
Erron and I met on the internet, and we were friends for about 3 years before he actually developed feelings for me. Being his shy, nerdy self, he couldn't just say ''Jesse I love you'', he had to find some other way to express himself without really telling me. So he started sending me love songs and stuff. I was in a bad relationship with another guy when he realized his feeling for me, so he sent me the song ''Seperate Ways'' by Journey. And then he sent me "Don't Stop Believing'' (also by Journey) when things in that relationship got really bad.
some lyrics from those songs:
"If he ever hurtsyou,true love wont desert you.."
" You know I still love you
Though we touched
And went our separate ways"
blah blah blah you get the idea. But I didn't, I was kinda dumb, Iwas like '' no he couldn't possibly have a mild crush on me..."
What's that one river in Egypt called? Oh yeah...
DENILE
So I really didn't get the idea until he sent me ''Why Don't You And I'' by santana. And even then I was like '' He couldn't mean.....oh em gee..."
Some lyrics:
Since the moment I spotted you,
Like walking around with little wings on my shoes,
My stomach's filled with the butterflies,
Ooh, and it's all right,
Bouncing round from cloud to cloud,
I'd got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down,
If I'd said I didn't like it then you'd know I lied,
Everytime I try to talk to you,
I get tongue-tied,
It turns out that everything I say to you,
Comes out wrong and never comes out right.
So I'll say why don't you and I,
Get together and take on the world and be together forever,
Heads we will, Tails we'll try again,
So I'll say why don't you and I,
Hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven,
Cause without you they're never gonna let me in.
When's this fever going to break?
I think I've handled more than any man can take,
I'm like a love-sick puppy chasing you around,
Ooh, and it's all right,
Bouncing round from cloud to cloud,
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down,
If I'd said I didn't like it then you'd know I lied.
Everytime I try to talk to you,
I get tongue-tied,
It turns out that everything I say to you,
Comes out wrong and never comes out right.
So I'll say why don't you and I,
Get together and take on the world and be together forever,
Heads we will, Tails we'll try again,
So I'll say why don't you and I,
Get together and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven,
Cause without you they're never gonna let me in.
Slowly I begin to realize,
This is never going to end
Right about the same time you walk by,
And I say 'Oh here we go again',
Oh!
Everytime I try to talk to you,
I get tongue-tied,
It turns out that everything I say to you,
Comes out wrong and never comes out right.
So I'll say why don't you and I,
Get together and take on the world and be together forever,
Heads we will, Tails we'll try again,
So I'll say why don't you and I,
Get together and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven,
Cause without you they're never gonna let me in.
So I'll say why don't You and I,
Get together and take on the world and be together forever,
Heads we will, Tails we'll try again,
So I'll say you why don't You and I,
Get together and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven,
Cause without you they're never gonna let me in.
So I wanted to inscribe '' Why Don't You And I?" inside the wedding band.
