We're also going with keeping it secret fom each other until the ceremony. I didn't even peek when I picked mine up the other day.
For his though, I debated.
Part of me really wanted "Put it back on". He is more sentimental where as I am a bit of a smartA&% so, it would be appropriate.
But, since our ceremony has a bit of celtic element to it, I went with the meaning of the Claddagh- Love, loyalty and friendship. followed by the weddig date. But I did it in Gaelic, so it reads:
Gra, Dilseacht, Cairdeas 1/17/10
It was suggested to me to put something that is a word or a phrase that is an inside joke b/w us, or something I say frequently to him, but "Why don't you like fun?" ( from the comcast commercials w/ the turtles) didn't seem to fit somehow.
