The title is a common statement that can be heard on any given day on any number of radio/TV commercials or in person at a jewelry store.

Yes, I have started my solo process of ring shopping, and it is quite the experience. See, Jayme gave me guidance on what she would want for a ring (pearl center, diamond halo, white gold) but that is really all I got. There are so many options out there it can be overwhelming, what makes this ring with a few more diamonds on the side say “I will love you forever” more than the one with the metal scrollwork? the answer? nothing. while I agree wholeheartedly in the title statement of this blog, it is just that, a symbol. People will look at the ring and know I made a promise with it to love and cherish Jayme for the rest of my life, that we are bonded together and will not be broken and no matter the size of diamond (or pearl in our situation) nor the designer name, or the cost will determine the symbol and what quality of love it represents. No the symbol remains the same, it is the love behind it that can change. I look forward to having whatever ring I end up selecting being a symbol for a love that grows and inspires me and Jayme daily.
