Ed's ring

When it came time to pick out Ed's wedding band, I decided to take him to the same jewelry store where he purchased my rings. It was important for him to come along since this will be the first piece of jewelry he's ever worn on a regular basis, and I wanted him to have something he liked that was comfortable. Ed picked out a simple gold band about 6mm thick. We've had the ring for about a month and this week I took it back to have it engraved. The jeweler put our full initials and managed to fit in our promise to one another which will also be included in our vows. The inscription reads "E.R.S. & D.J.K. FOREVER & a DAY" When we were dating, Ed used to tell me that he would love me forever and I would negotiate for an extra day because forever with him just didn't seem long enough. It was an ongoing negotiation because Ed wouldn't give in and give me the extra day. The first time he offered to love me "forever and a day" was when he was on his knee proposing. Awwwww! Hence, this statement will be used in place of "until death do us part" when we say our vows.
