"You're getting silicone wedding bands?"
Trish looked at Carmen and Justin as if they were out of their minds. "You can't even afford an engagement ring." She snapped, hugging herself with great disappointment as she went back to the kitchen to check on the simmering stew.
Carmen looked at Justin with a swelled frown, and he sighed, gazing up at the ceiling. "You know there is no way to satisfy her."
"Shu." Carmen squeezed his hand. "We should have at least gotten the Tungsten rings."
"Well, these were on sale and they are breathable and if..if we got in an accident, they're easy to cut." Justin reminded her.
"I know, but," Carmen tensed. This was going to be a very long engagement at this rate.
"At least Liv wears a traditional gold wedding band. It was Woo's mother's. It's got history. And it's sustainable!" Trish marched back to the livingroom to tell them.
Carmen sucked in a breath, not sure what to say. That's when Trish's husband, Kim, came to the rescue. He began to remind her how much she hated her engagement ring. "Do I even see it on your finger, right now?"
"I'm cooking," she said she still wore her grandmother's wedding ring.
"That wasn't the one I gave you. You said, you wanted the Navajo wedding band when we were out in New Mexico when I asked you to marry me."
"Well, I outgrew that ring." She looked so innocent as she spoke about it.
"The silicone wedding band will be stretchy, let them do what they want."
It was that simple, but of course, Trish frowned and never said another word to anyone that night at dinner.
Great post. I wish you nice saturday 😊
ReplyDeleteVery interesting writing. I'll be happy to visit here more often.
ReplyDeleteBest regards, and please check out my new painting :)
If Carmen and Justin have no problem with the ring, why should Trish be so upset about it?
ReplyDeleteBecause she thinks Carmen deserves better. Plus, she is probably thinking more of herself in this. Mother's do that. Feeling she should have asked for more when she got engaged. Sometimes, we really don't know why. Who knows, she might have an underlying medical condition. But Momma bears seem to want the best for their children.
DeleteWeddings are so freakin expensive these days....
ReplyDeleteInteresting
ReplyDeletestevie nicks is always cool:-)
ReplyDeleteUma coisa é certa: tudo em uma festa de casamento é caro. Um anel de noivado é um símbolo apenas, o importante é o que o casal sente um pelo outro. Beijos! :-)

Good to revisit these folks. I missed the Stevie Nicks reference but saw the comments above
ReplyDeleteThey should concentrate on what they want and ignore the mother.
