My partner and I bought matching band of infinity rings at Portland Pride about 6 months after we got together. They were a sign of our commitment.
Four years later, we got married in a VERY nontraditional ceremony performed by the friend who introduced us, surrounded by friends and family. The entire cost of our ceremony, including clothing, cake, dinner and rings, was $2k. That’s not a typo, and we fed everyone and had a hosted bar.
At that ceremony, we exchanged handmade hammered silver rings by Fancy Jewelry. They’re a lot like the caveman band, but in silver and no stones.
I love my partner more every day. I don’t want or need Tiffany’s or diamonds. Why? Because I’d rather have something unique and original that’s made just for me. Sortof like my sweetie.
