Two entirely separate things you must know first:
1. Just over two years ago, when Mike and I were ring shopping, I fell in love with a beautiful, simple, designer, vintage inspired engagement ring. It was pricey. Mike told me that if I wanted it I could have it... we just couldn't afford the matching wedding band too. I was fine with that. I was stuck on this ring. We've been married almost two years and I still don't have a wedding band. It's great when I'm checking in a guest at the hotel and they say, "Oh, you're engaged! Well, congratulations!" I laugh and explain that I'm already married. I've dealt just fine so far.
2. When Mike and I get back to Barcelona after our cruise, we will have 6 days until we fly back to the States. We have been debating whether we should stay in Barcelona for those 6 days or look into taking a short trip to a different country.
Just the other night, Mike gave me a decision to make:
wedding band
or
Brussels, Belgium
I chose Brussels.
no hesitation.
Wouldn't you?

DEFINITELY BRUSSELS!!!
I'd sell my first-born to go there. Let alone the wedding band. :)
A slight exaggeration? Nope.
Well, I am very excited for you. That will be SOOOOO fun! I am so excited to hear how it is! Take LOTS of pictures :-)
Good choice, Alyssa. Though buying me an expensive gift would have been a good choice, too.
Call me. Seriously. I lived in Brussels, remember?
Hence the reason I don't want a bigger stone. Um. I would rather have a vacation and have memories. You can't get that off a wedding band. Just saying. ALSO-- you can travel NOW. Wait until you have kids, and save up for a band. You can't travel to Brussels with kids!
We have been to Brussels and we loved it.
yes, because wedding rings look best on their own...in my opinion. yes, i do have a band...but only because it's inherited. otherwise, i like my ring best on it's own. and i love yours that way too:)
and who doesn't want to travel to like 15 places in a couple weeks...lucky duck
so so so happy for you guys...remember we're having a photo party shortly after
