When I look at the first two categories, I feel pretty proud of myself, especially considering that the ring on my hand is barely a month old. But then I scan down toward the last category ... and I notice that there's an awful lot of "big" stuff in there. Hello, disturbingly-familiar feeling of nausea.

may I suggest ER Sawyer Jewelers and my beautiful and talented friend Sarah, who has helped many a friend of mine, with rings for their ceremonies? infact more friends than not, have an ER ring, and some have rings Sarah has designed herself.
just saying.. the girl is good. (and reasonable! but shhhhh)
You have a groom don't you? Well, done and done, my dear, the rest is just details.
Besides, I've been engaged for 10 whole months and I don't have some of that stuff. And the groom picks his own attire, so cross that one off your list.
