Sorry to the OP for off topic!
I was getting married in the Dominican and had finally decided on a ring about 10 days before leaving, went to the shop and had myself measured and the ring was ordered, should be ready for me to pick up 3 days before I fly.
Sounds great so far!!
Go into the shop, day before i'm meant to pick it up, to ask on its progress only to be told that it has not been done and won't be. Now, this had me worried. The man i was speaking to (actually the manager at this point) informed me that the ring I was sold should never have been sold to me for a couple of reasons: 1) it would have been way to thin and flimsy in the size i wanted (z+2 (rather large!)) and 2) the cut of the ring would have eventually caused me pain (being flat on the inside). The bloke who sold me the ring had left the company after a few other recent mistakes apparently (lucky job as i was furious).
So, I was then told that I could have another ring and was shown some more relevent styles that would look good, however, I informed the manager that I needed it in 2 days. This immediately meant there was no way I could have something other than a plain band.
The manager offered to have a band made so that I could get married, then come back to the shop after to have something specific made to keep, which I did not want. I wanted the ring I was married with to be the ring i would wear for life (unless damaged or lost).
So i ended up with a plain 18ct white gold band (heavily discounted of course). Was never happy with it.
