WHAT would DEAN do???WWDD

[meesasometimes]

I love having a DEAN moment....

So I'm obsessed with getting an engagement ring. Wendy and I got matching gold bands
to mark 10 years together and I am so over them. I want something sparkling, I'm shallow
and like a bird like that, feathering my nest with tinsel.  So we went ring shopping and I
am in love, IN LOVE, with blue diamonds now and I'll post a bunch of pics at the end and you
all can chime in, cause I'm SO INDECIESIVE!!!!!! but before that decision came this....

....here's the funny. I'm at Zales. I have it narrowed down to a top 3 (which I feel is an amazing
feat) and the salesgirl is holding these 3 rings while I go back and forth about them,
when suddenly
Wendy says "HUH! WHAT WOULD DEAN DO?"
OMG!!! I say, what WOULD Dean do?
The salesgirl chirps in "I don't know who Dean is, but should we call him?"
I'm laughing now, "I would love to call him....but he's my tv boyfriend....soooo"
The salesgirl doesn't miss a beat. "do you know his birthday?"
Me "OMG!!! we have the same birthstone, I totally forgot that, I should go with the garnet"
Wendy "If you go with the emerald you'll always think of his eyes"
Salesgirl Extrodinaire "Is he a classic guy?"
*gasp* (side note: I say this in RL all the time about him, Classic boy Impala not included was my first fanmix,
in fact I have something about it etched on the back of my ipod) I mean who says that?
Me "YES HE IS!"
Salesgirl Extrodinaire "Diamond, he'd get the diamond"

fuck, she's good....not only is she feeding into my delusions without blinking, she's convinced me
to get the diamond. LOL.

 

Now....everyone please comment on which ring it is that is blinding you with it's amazingness, I'm waiting to dream that one of them is on my finger....my way could take awhile!

I'm totally voting for the princess cut and the bottom left. I had one in my engagement ring and those things sparkle from across the room. Also it has a classic, simple feel to it and an elegance w/o being ostentatious.

My opinions - let me share them! LOL!

Cograts, bb!!!!

[the_rant_girl]

ooooo so many pretties! I think it's between the second and third ones! though I am kind of more drawn to the second one (but then also I kind of like the "simplicity" of the 5th one haha) but yes! I like the second one best I think.

and BWA HA! BB! that is so fucking AWESOME! what a brilliant salesgirl, heee! and he's totally a classic guy *nods* *smoocifies* ♥!!

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

ooo yay, voting! I think the princess cut is Wendy's favorite too. I'm really drawn to the antique feel of that one...and sparkling from across the room is a good thing.

Your opinions are quite appreciated XXD

thank you...I'm super excited.

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

the second and third were my first loves, before my brain got all muddled looking at sets. I love the buckle design of that second one.

Salesgirl was HILARIOUS!!! Anyone who "plays Dean" with me gets a free pass in my book.

Thanks for your help *SMOOCH*

Second to last one, no contest.

[always-bawling.livejournal.com]

I like the last 2 a lot. They are beautiful. I love this salesgirl!

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

got it.

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

She was the best!

[lyryk.livejournal.com]

They're all gorgeous, but I really love the middle one in the second row.

(Also, I wholeheartedly approve of anyone who refers to Dean as 'classic'. *g*)

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

you and everyone else *G*

[glovered.livejournal.com]

I'd say either of the bottom two!

edit: whoops, on my flist it came out in 3 sets of two. Ok, I like the last two the best!

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

those two are clearly in the lead...I like how I'm completely leaving this up to my flist at this point...lol

[big-heart-june.livejournal.com]

Ooooooooooooh baby! I LOOOOVE THE LAST ONE!! I love me some bling too! :P ALSO! I LOOOOOOVE your Wendy for the emerald orbs comment!! :P
Sales girl is fucking awesome!

Wow, this is def EXCITING!! ♥♥♥

[glovered.livejournal.com]

Right? I feel LJ is useful for such things. Which one does your wife prefer?

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

she likes the square one too, I'd leave it up to her but, well, that's not really my style.

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

It's babybling, but bling none the less...ooooooo the last one huh? It's what I had in my brain before I started looking and I still love it.

Thank god Wendy is so understanding and embracing of the third person in our relationship! She's the best that way.

We've set a date and I've picked out my dress...I'm just checking things off my list.

[philomel.livejournal.com]

I like a bit of simplicity with my shiny, so my eye went straight to the square cut one, no. 5. But the last one with the double band is really, really nice. Kind of floral.

I feel for you. Decisions are freakin' hard!

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

The square is definitely the favorite it seems. But then the round one. ugh....I tend to go with crazy and unique mixed with really classic. I think the blue diamond is the crazy part, maybe I need to go simple.

See what I do. I suck at decisions.

[meus_venator]

LOL you are a riot! And Wendy is so smart!!!! no wonder you're snapping her up! : )

They are all lovely. I'm not much of a jewelry fan. I go for some kind of celtic knot in silver, but that's me. I think any of them would look wonderful, thought I have to say that last one on the bottom right sings out to me. Are you both getting one, or are you the only 'featherer' : DDDD

Good luck hon!!!!

[girlygothic.livejournal.com]

Definitely the princess cut. It has a wonderful vintage look to it. Also, on that ring the blue stone stands out and says "Look at me!" Whereas on most of the other rings the blue stone is overwhelmed by all the clear ones.

[applegeuse.livejournal.com]

Ooh, fun! :D I'm totally not a jewelry person, but my vote is for the second to last one. It looks the most classic! (In the friendspage view it was the bottom left! But looking at it now, it is the 2nd to last.)

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

ooooo another for the last one, sings huh? I wish I you were here for an acurate audible portrayal of said singing. lol....Wendy was perfectly happy with her band and we weren't going to re-exchange rings at all until I found her this one. It's handmade and with a matching blue diamond to mine. Now she a convert!!!

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

*G* By "clear ones" I can only assume you mean sparkly diamonds,LOL...and I would hate for my ring to be overwhelmed by diamonds!....not to worry you are with the majority. My flist is surprising me...and that vintage look is EXACTLY what I love about that ring. Thank you for your help :)

[meus_venator]

Oh now see I LOVE that one!!!!!! So simple and elegant. As Captain Underpants would say
TRRRAAA LLLLAAA LAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
: )

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

YOU WIN!!!!! That's the popular one for sure. Who knew this unofficial poll was going to be so definitive???

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

HOLYSHITBATMAN!!!!! I am making a Captain Underpants cape RIGHTNOW!!!!Not kidding....for one of my favorite kids in my life who is currently and rightfully obsessed. How did you implant a camera in me without my knowledge?

[lavishsqualor.livejournal.com]

I am not following the crowd! My favorite is definitely the third to last, the one with the swirly bands. ugh, I adore it. But let's be honest, here, I ADORE THEM ALL! Looooove the blue diamond (and I totally creeped your comments w meus, and ADORE Wendy's new band!) On a more serious note, I also looooove the second last two, so I support the mass decision! lolol. THIS IS ALL TOO EXCITING.

And also! That sales girl! I LOVE HER. And Wendy! WHAT WOULD DEAN DO? Soooooo classic! Thanks for sharing that story, bb, it is made of pure win. (also: loving the wedding updates!!!)

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

I fucking LOVE you!!!!You wouldn't know it by the lack of Christmas cheer that came your way, I'm afraid I have been sucked into a vortex of college apps and wedding plans....Your xmas card has completely made my life, so thank you! The braided one is beautiful, right??? You can't tell, but it has the biggest blue diamond on it, I mean I didn't size these pics up, and I'm so one board with big. "o o" *that was my eyebrow wagging, I need to work on my emoticons"

Any guesses as to when wincon will be? I'm totally putting off setting the official date for the wedding, but people (Wendy and my maidofhonorzilla Tammy) are losing patience with that. AAAAAAAAA I need to be able to do EVERYTHING!

That sales girl was hilarious, right??? F!!!!I'm exceeeding my limit on the comments, wait, nope???what theF??? I have another funny story I'm going to post, stay tuned........HOPE your enjoying your time home, also my stupid desktop crashed after being hooked up (FINALLY) for 2weeks. stupid.
