    I ordered FI's ring and when it comes in I am going to have it engraved. I have a couple of possibilities on how to word this. The differences are really subtle, and won't matter when it's on his finger, but we'll know what it says.

    if "one kiss" is not referring to a body of work (song, poem, book, etc). I don' think you should capitalize O or K. My personal preferece is also to have dates written as 3.13.2010 or 3.13.10 rather than using slashes. Slashes give me the impression of office documents.

    I like "one kiss 3.13.10" too but I also tend to use periods instead of slashes whenever I can.  :-)

    It may depend on where you're having it engraved. One place I was looking at online (where I almost ordered our rings) used all caps only.

    I kind of agree with pren79--skip the slashes. I'd do ONE KISS 3-13-2010 (all caps... but that's personal preference for engraving... better when things are uniform height!). I'd like the year written out.

    I like One Kiss 03.10.2010  or even One Kiss 03-10-2010

    (You don't have to use 0's before the 3 but I like it that way)

    Okay so I need to decide between all caps, some caps, no caps; and slashes, dots, dashes; and whole year or partial year...

    This is complicated. I think I like dots...or dashes *sigh*

    I say all lower case:

    one kiss 3.13.2010

    - but if they can do the "dot" in the center (vertically, not low at the bottom), it'd be even better. :)

    Ooh I like that, dot in the center.

    Edit: In fact, I think I like that whole thing, with all of the letters lower case. Now I just need to find out what type of lettering the place has that I'm getting it engraved at. Too many decisions.

    I'd go with One kiss 3/13/10 or One kiss 3-13-10. I think the O should be a capital because it is starting something.

    I like the 3.13.10 idea, I always do my dates like that now, but I never thought about using that for a ring engraving.

    No capitalization is necessary, so my vote is definitely for one kiss 3.13.10

    Yes I like the dots too. I received the ring yesterday (ordered friday, so VERY fast shipping) but I don't think I'm going to have it engraved until closer to the wedding because I am impatient and want to give it to him when he comes tomorrow night.

    Thanks everyone for your posts. I read this and it inspired me to get Mr. LuLu's ring. :) I got 9.19.09 engraved in a simple font kinda like arial. It's perfect. :)

    Thanks samisomsam and carri!
