A story teller's ring


I am very excited to be wearing a wedding band for the first time in my life. Mine arrived shortly before we left to look at properties in NC. I actually spent the morning before we left hunting down the mail carrier because I realised at the last minute that I had shipped the ring to our old address.

The ring is a piece of Navajo story teller jewelry. Part of the story depicts a traditional Navajo dwelling, know as a hogan, that is a round wood and earth structure which I feel closely resembles a yurt. The ring also depicts woolly animals coming down from the mountains and a person running a rudimentary loom.

We have not made specific plans for a ceremony yet but I know that we are meant to be together in this life.

I found handfasting ceremonies to be a good fit for my darling and I. They aren't recognized by the state, but here in Iowa at least, common law marriage is applicable after a year living together, so the actual ceremony was by us, for us.
I love your ring, I've always found the diamond/gold band thing a little boring.
We opted for locally created silver rings. 40$ a pop, supporting local artists, score. :-)
