Wedding bands, or something like it.

Stephen and I have been searching-ish for wedding bands on and off since he proposed. For the most part Korean wedding bands are laden with diamonds, particularly the men's ones. And they prefer yellow gold to white for wedding bands, (at least that is what I was told by an older Korean woman).

So we decided we wanted to do our real wedding band exchange in the states and find temporary ones here for a relatively cheap price to allow time later to find what we really want.

So we are walking around in our favorite market which supplies us with all of our second hand clothing and halloween costumes and as Stephen is digging, literally, in a pile of clothing I stop at a glass case of jewelry which appears to be rather inexpensive. So I spot some PLAIN bands just sitting in between some other rings in proper displays and I get the sales men to pull them out. Sure enough, a simple plain silver band that fits my hand. I also notice there are thicker rounder silver bands and call Stephen over and our wonderful Korean friend Kwon Minjee explains we want a mens size. The salesman says he can special order it by Monday and have them polished and ready for us (it was a Saturday) and they are 20,000 won a piece. Then he says since we are getting the pair we can have them for 20,000 total.

So we bought our wedding bands for 20 dollars total. Sa-weeet!

I really do love Korea, our wedding is slowly becoming awesome, especially thanks to Korean friends and random generous salespeople.

Stay-tuned for the catering adventure with Korean caterers :)

The Lord provides.
