Day 7

DAY 7
A picture of your most treasured item



My wedding rings.

These rings are special because they kinda symbolize a new start for us because they were given to us not long after I moved here and we kinda started over and became much more unified and strong. They dont replace my original set by any means, and I switch back and forth, but these mean a lot. The setting is from my Gramy and Grandpa Allan. My grandpa had to be stretched financially to get these for my Gramy but he knew it was exactly what she wanted. He was just that kind of man. Absolutely amazing. The diamond comes from my great great grandmothers ring. I was told that if you look through a Jewlers loop you can see my great great grandfathers initials etched in the diamond. The components of these rings have stood the test of time and cumulative they have seen 100+ years of marriage. I plan to hand them down to my daughter some day and pray for her marriage to also stand through the many storms of life and she continues a family legacy.
