I am really proud of one of my brides.

Having pondered for some time over a selection of finely crafted, jewelled wedding rings, she opted for a ring that was simplistic and suited her desire.

The woman in the shop curtly advised here that these rings were “mens wedding rings”. Aside from the fact that these rings were significantly cheaper and in most cases larger, the only difference was that they were plain.

Against the recommendation of the shop assistant, the bride ordered a man’s ring that she liked – in a small size.

And ignoring comments about what is the “expected” or “usual” buyers decision, my bride will have the Perfect Wedding Ring set on her finger when she marries. Good on her!
