It's like throwing money out the window in this place. <br /><br />@ Stacy - Love that wedding, thanks for the link! Her flowers are gorg. <br /><br />@ nicole - Not a wedding band on D, but I just realized that it is probably confusing. We've had people ask in real life, too. I never notice it because he wears it all the time. <br /><br />Back story: I bought him that ring years and years ago (for $5 at some tourist trap) because it has waves on it and he surfs (and I was a teenager and thought it was SO HIM - it didn't even occur to me that it was for his wedding finger). Out of totally touching loyalty, he still wears it despite the fact that it cost $5 and looks it. Sometimes I tell him that I'm just going to get a replica made in gold for his band, which he thinks is only mildly amusing. He's looking forward to trading it in, I think, although it will be a little weird not to see it anymore. We'll have to do something with it.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10211797571405802312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-66130149197476249612011-02-08T14:12:29.133-08:002011-02-08T14:12:29.133-08:00You're so nice to share your avocados! lol.
