Aawww what an awesome story!!! I totally agree with feeling like your e-ring is incomplete. When I found my wedding band I felt the same way you did, it felt and looked complete.
And remember what I told you that night at JA...your ring is GORGEOUS.
I'm so happy you found your e-ring's partner! Now post some pics girlie!
@mrsbruff2b: I'm so glad you found your ring's other half!
Any pictures?
Your story is not uncommon. I know of several ladies who weren't totally in love with their e-ring until they got the matching band. Glad you're now feeling complete!
@KatNYC2011: I should have pictures at the end of this week. My band is getting resized <3
I have to say, the Bee makes me doubt my ring ALL the time. Especially because when I post it it doesn't get compliments like a lot of rings do. I'm the same as you, I question everything! I always feel that (the opposite if you) my ring is not special or unique enough. Doubts are natural for people like us, but there's usually (eventually) something that puts things to rights in the end. I'm glad you were lucky enough to find your perfect match in life and in ring!
Awww, what a lovely story. I feel like that really is true for all of us :)
Oh what a great story!!! AND it gives ME hope, since my wedding ring (actually, "rings" as we chose a band for top and bottom of my marquise) is to be delivered TODAY and I am so nervous. I am poring over ring sites and looking at stores left and right, you know, just in case.
I can't wait to see some pics!!! Show off that stuff, girl! 
@KeeKalena: Thank you for your kind words. For me, compliments were nice but in the end I had to feel it for myself. The feeling of "completeness" made so much sense to me~
@Keltaena: It's almost like dress regret isn't it? For me, that's a WHOLE other story ahahah
@Mrs. Myrtle Beach: Am I so excited to get mine. And now I still have to wait another 4 - 5 months before wearing it!!
That's cute, I'm glad you're happier now! Looking forward to seeing some pics. :)
@mrsbruff2b: I'm so happy that you found your band!!! Next get-together I can see them in person!!
@Juliepants: I am SOO SOOOO happy! SO suggested I wear my band around the house because he loves the way they look together too! =) Now I'm even more pumped to get married so I can wear them together forever!!
@KeeKalena: Thank you~ When is the next meet? I can't wait!
@mrsbruff2b: thats a great story as im also doubting my own e-ring choice. I just feel I used to like it more and that I wish the center stone were larger. Anyways, glad to know that there is still hope with the band. or O may just get an upgrade on my e-ring someday.
Show us pictures!
I am another voting for pictures!!
The story is so great, I am so glad you are 100% happy with your rings!
@mrsbruff2b: They're talking about a summer meet-up! You and Pants will be married by then! *happy squeal*
UPDATE!!!
Here is a video and screenshot of the rings together!!
@mrsbruff2b: Awww I'm glad you finally came around because that set is gorgeous. Different is good! I actually don't want a solitaire because when I look at it all I can thing is that it looks like everyone elses ring under the sun!
@mrsbruff2b: Gor-freakin-geous!!!!! I love them! I can just imagine your e-ring saying to you wedding band "You complete me." LOL!
@mrsbruff2b: your set is amazing and your story was too cute! =)
That's a beautiful way to look at it! I bet your FI was really happy :)

When FI proposed, I was so happy. The ring was exactly what I wanted. A three-stone ring with a princess cut centre. Then I joined the bee and saw sooo many solitaire rings... I still loved my ring but I was beginning to question if mine was too different.
Then there were comments (completely other thread for that). I began doubting my ring. And the worst part? I questioned if it was right for me and told my FI. He was hurt and I could see it. Deep down I knew it was my ring ... I even said to my FI that "I know it's my nature to question everything and then later realize that the original was exactly right for me."
I didn't know WHY the heck I didn't LOVE my ring... I know me... I know that I am a QUESTIONER especially if I do not have control over decision making. So even though I KNEW in my heart of hearts that this was MY RING, I still ended up hurting my FI.
I apologized and pushed away the thoughts.
We went shopping for wedding bands yesterday. The lady brought over the matching band for my ring set. I. HATED. IT.
NONE of the bands matched with the setting of my ring. I started asking about upgrades and changing my ring (which was awkward for the sales lady and FI who was standing there). I felt guilty and sad.
I walked around the store looking at other rings and trying them on. But I didn't like ANY of them. Most of the ones I DID like looked similar to my own three-stone ering.
WHAT WAS WRONG WITH ME?
After two hours in the store, the saleslady brought me over to another section of the store where they were selling as-is bands. I tried on a few and they didn't tickle my fancy.
Then FI pointed to one that I had overlooked in the lower corner. The lady brought it out. I looked at it from the top, the side... slipped it on my finger. Looked at it close, and then far away...
Then the looked back into the display at the other rings.
It was pretty silent at that point and the lady was getting impatient... she was asking me "this one?", "No." "How about this one?", "No." I would reply. And a few minutes went by and she asked me if I could give her the one I already had on back. I realized IN THAT MOMENT, that the one I wanted was ALREADY ON MY HAND!
And it made PERFECT sense to me now!
The reason why I couldn't LOVE my e-ring was because it was INCOMPLETE. It was missing it's OTHER HALF. I nearly cried and told my FI that right away. It's like ... I LIKE myself.... but I LOVE myself WITH my other half!! And without the wedding band, the e-ring was lonely the entire time.
I finally feel at ease and can't believe I had allowed myself to QUESTION THIS SHIT like I question EVERYTHING. FI knows me and my taste the best, sometimes even better than myself. I knew I had to trust him and in the end, he was right again. This ring was for ME.
It just needed it's partner.
