So I'm a sample size...
Mar. 13th, 2006 09:14 amWhen we went to look at engagement rings, we did so expecting that we'd find something I liked and then we'd order it and it would come in a month or two later. When we found the actual ring we both liked, though, I tried the setting on and it fit perfectly. So they took Chuckro and the ring and the stone into a mysterious back room while I loitered around the diamond district and half an hour later he came back out with a box in his pocket.
When I went to look at wedding dresses, I did so expecting that I'd find something I liked and then I'd order it and it would come in five or six months. But when I found the actual dress I liked, I tried it on and it fit perfectly, and they gave me the chance to buy the actual sample (for considerably less than the tag price.) So my dress has been in storage for the last couple of months instead of not made yet.
This past weekend, we went to look at wedding rings. We weren't actually planning to buy anything, just doing reconnaissance. Again, the rings are supposed to take one to four or five months to be made and come in. When we found one for me that we liked though...well, you know where this is going. And when they came up with one for Chuckro that worked with the one I was looking at - that fit him perfectly, too. So we walked out of the store with two boxes.
Apparently I am the official sample size. And so is Chuckro.
